Cell Block Tango
Adelyn sighed as she leaned back against the cool wall of the jail cell. She'd never meant to get herself imprisoned. After all, all she'd done was steal a few shillings and hold a knife to the throat of a man who'd threatened her. She'd only been defending herself after all.
A man in the cell across from her caught her eye and smiled at her. He was standing, leaning against the bar that went horizontally, his hands hanging out of the cell itself. She gave him a devious, half smile back and turned away from him. She went over to the five girls sitting about the cell with her.
"Look mates, we're getting out of here." she said, a bit matter of factly.
The girl with black hair and dark eyes looked to her "And how do we go about that? Got a plan have ya?"
"Rozalind do I ever not?" Adelyn added with a smile. In which the girl Rozalind returned.
"Now what we're going to do..." Adelyn had the girls huddled together and was explaining her 'plan'.
"What do you suppose they're doing?" Will looked to Jack.
"Askin' me?" Jack said ludicrously.
"There's no one else in the cell."
"An' I'm suppose' ta know what a woman is thinkin'?" Jack grinned at him. Hands still dangling from the cell.
"Aye you!" one of the three guards shouted at the huddle of girls, "What do you think you're doin'?" he was right in front of them now. Adelyn stood and smiled, facing the guard. The girls followed suit, standing behind her, challenging him to do anything.
"Me? Officer I was only having a chat with my mates here, about what an amazingly good looking guard we have this evening." she said smoothly, her fingers running over his collar. He swallowed, eyeing her hand as if it were a snake.
Jack stood straighter, moving his head and trying to see what was going on. Will looked at Jack and upon seeing the look of fascination and confusion, he stood next to him.
"What is it?" he curiously asked.
"I dunno, lemme listen." Jack said hushing Will.
The guard was still nervously looking at her hand. When she laid it softly on his now sweating cheek.
"Well..." She slid her hand off. He looked down at it disappointed. "...it's just so boring in here. Nothing to do." She looked up and smiled at him.
"Well there's nothing really I can do about that I-" She interrupted the guard.
"Ya know, it's just awful we have to waste our type of talent." She said in fake sadness.
"Talent?" The guard inquired.
"Yes we're quite good at singing you see." She gave a charming look to the guard.
"Well...we wouldn't mind some...entertainment." He looked to her, with sweat on his brow.
"Lovely! Girls!" And two girls came forward, seeming to get in formation in front of the three guards.
Jack was watching with curiosity written on his face.
"Oh," Ady's face sunk and she sighed, "Just look at this place, oh goodness knows with all the dancing we do as well, there's just no room in this bloody cell, and with out the dancin' there really is no show now is there girls?"
"No show..." they said all together glumly, and they all slumped down so they were sitting now.
"But wait!" Adelyn's face perked up and she was smiling now, her hand returned to the guard's cheek. But it quickly fell and he looked up at her. She looked away.
"No, that wouldn't work..." she mumbled, "Ah well."
"What? What is it?" he begged, eyeing her curves as she turned. Adelyn was a very beautiful young woman as were her friends very beautiful ladies ... most of the time.
"Well it's just, if you could let us out, maybe just for a minute. Just enough time to give you men somethin' to look at." she said winking at the man before her. Her hand returned to his cheek.
"After all, you do work so hard, right girls?" her eyes never leaving his.
"So hard!" they all replied softly, each flirting with the men who were now standing flush up against the iron bars.
"Well..." The guard looked to each of his co-workers; they seemed to egg him on as did the girls.
"If you promise not to do anything I suppose we could let you out, just for this though."
The girls looked at each other and gave sly half smiles.
Jack looked about this scene with his mouth agape...they were good.
As the cell doors were opened the girls stepped up and each of the guards backed up a bit.
Adelyn being farthest right started it off...

I met Ezekiel Young from America about two years ago and he told me he was single and we hit it off right away. So, we started living together. He'd go to work, he'd come home, I'd fix him a drink, we'd have dinner. Well, it was like heaven in two and a half rooms. And then I found out, "Single" he told me? Single, my ass. Not only was he married ...oh, no, he had six wives. One of those Mormons, you know. So that night, when he came home, I fixed him his drink as usual. You know, some guys just can't hold their arsenic.

He was crazy and he kept screamin', "you been screwin the milkman." And then he ran into my knife. He ran into my knife ten times!

During this entire thing, they're dancing, hanging off the guards and such. Jack watched, one eyebrow raised. Suddenly his eyes got big as he noticed Ady's hand slip down and onto the keys. Then they were gone! Not behind her back or anywhere else, simply...gone. She caught his eye as she backed up from the guard and winked at him. Will noticed this and began to gasp. Without taking his eyes from the girls Jack clapped a hand over his mouth, silencing the younger man. He looked around and saw that now all five girls were out of the cell and dancing; slow, sexy moves that would drive any man crazy. At the same time, they were expertly grabbing (and hiding) weapons and such. The guns on the guards' belts, the knives hanging from the walls. What they were doing was so crazy it worked with out a flaw. They had obviously done this before.
Suddenly, the girls lined up all in a row in front of said guards. Each one had a weapon, even Adelyn. She smiled and cocked her gun.
"So sorry this didn't work out boys, guess you just weren't our type, eh girls?"
"Sorry." they all shrugged, with fake pouted faces, which quickly turned into evil grins.
"Avy, will you do me the honors?" Adelyn handed her younger sister the large set of keys, her eyes never leaving the guards. Adelyn unlocked the cell that held Jack and Will.
"N-now put down that gun miss, or we'll"-
"Or you'll what? Shoot us? With what pray tell?"
"If I may say so I don't think in you're in any position to be threatenin' these girls." Adelyn shot him a look, "Erm...Ladies." he shrugged, with a smile. Adelyn nodded with satisfaction.
"'Es right Charlie." one of the other guards whispered to the first one who'd spoken up,
"We should run for it eh? Get help, they'll shoot us they will." The one named Charlie swallowed and Ady cocked an eyebrow, daring them to try something different than running.
"On three we run for the stairs," he told them,
"One..."-
Adelyn fired a shot through the ceiling.
"THREE!" he yelped and they all dashed up the stairs. The girls giggled.
"Good show girls." Adelyn said as she fit the gun in her belt.
"Good show indeed." a voice from behind her sounded. She spun around.
Jack was standing a foot from behind her with sly smile which only he could pull off. He walked to her with the beads and coins jangling in his matted black tresses.
"VERY good show girls."
"Sorry boys that's the only one tonight." Adelyn winked at him.
He pouted, and she smiled, "Later," she said, "Right now, we need to get out of here before those lugs come back and this place turns into an absolute blood bath!"
"Out this way then!" called Avelyn from a small side door at the end of a flight of stairs. They all followed her down.
"You all didn't really kill yer husbands right, just a song then?" Jack asked as they ran down the concrete steps. She smiled at him.
"Of course darling," she answered. He visibly relaxed.
"After all he was never my husband in the first place, we eloped." she said, running to catch up with her girls as they were outside now. They were making for the harbor.
Jack stopped his eyes widened, "Oh now come along I won't kill you."
He slowly started running with them again.
"That is unless you upset me." She grinned over her shoulder at him. He gave an angry and fake half smile back. When she turned he rolled his eyes.
"Right, it's this one." He said when they came upon the Black Pearl that seemingly appeared from no where. His pride and joy; he looked it over as if it were made of gold.
Adelyn cocked her eyebrow, "That looks familiar."
Jack looked behind them and saw figures coming. "Yes, yes I get that all the time." He said swiftly ushering them onboard.
Giving out orders and instructions in which everyone followed quickly, they were soon setting sail in the early morning.
"I know what ship this is!" The girls looked to Jade in surprise at the girl's sudden outburst.
"The Black Pearl!" All the girls then began walking about the deck examining every each of the boat.
"Then you're." Rane began as Jack puffed out his chest ready for his well deserved introduction for his infamous name. "...what was the captain's name again?" He deflated, and became very huffy.
"Captain Jack Sparrow, love." He said glumly.
"Jack Sparrow? I was going to say Barbossa." Said Avelyn with a giggle.
Jack's eyes went large. "She was err.just kidding." Her sister recovered quickly, shooting her a look of warning. And Jack went to steering the ship again.
"This is a lovely ship Jack; I've always wanted to see it." Adelyn said softly, standing next to him now.
"Now you have love, where to then?" He asked, still keeping his eye on the ocean.
"Tortuga, of course! Where lese would pirates be goin', honestly Jack, you call yourself the captain of the Black Pearl!" she snickered as she walked away.
Adelyn sighed as she leaned back against the cool wall of the jail cell. She'd never meant to get herself imprisoned. After all, all she'd done was steal a few shillings and hold a knife to the throat of a man who'd threatened her. She'd only been defending herself after all.
