Will sat awake all night, watching the ship shrouded in fog, as some crew members left the ship to roam Tortuga. Finally, Will checked his watch. It was only four o'clock in the morning. Nevertheless, he quietly made his way over to Jack. Shaking him, he made Jack stir.
"If you don't let me get more sleep Will you will be hanged by my crew." Jack murmured drowsily. Will grabbed Jack's arm and yanked him into a sitting position.
"The Atlantis. They're here." Will whispered. Jack was grinning now, wide awake.
"Did you know.." Will asked, trailing off.
"I had an idea they'd come." Jack said back.
"Ah." Will nodded. They sat in silence, watching the ship.
"Y'know, attack plan were never really my strong point, savvy? You come up with the brains, and I'll reinforce it." Jack said seriously, lying back down.
"Get up Jack. Your neck's on the line with this too!" Will snapped. Jack sat up, angry now.
"Listen cheese boy, I don't work well or kindly at four in the morning!" Jack told Will with narrowed eyes. Will cracked his knuckles and put his hand on the hilt of his sword.
"Well, rainbow man, we'll have to see about that because I'm not doing this alone!" Will shot back. Jack picked up a handful of sand. Then he threw. Whether it was due to a hangover, or perhaps just exhaustion, Jack threw it in the wrong direction. Because a new voice now joined in.
"Who just threw that bloody pile of sand in my face?" Snapped Anna Maria.
"Jack." Jack put up his hands, revealing that he was holding nothing, trying to show innocence.
"Jack Sparrow, if I don't break you in half, it will be a miracle!" Anna Maria growled, her face only a few inches from his.
"Well alright then, but you wouldn't have a captain anymore whose as trustworthy as me, savvy?" Anna Maria just scowled and walked away.
"All right Will you have my attention. I should get something for agreeing to help you do this." Jack pointed out.
"And you will. This." Will held out a bottle of rum. Jack grinned.
"You're learning to think like a pirate, William. Since I'm devising a strategy, you wake up the crew." He plopped down into the sand and began to draw figures in it. Will hurried to wake everyone up. Everyone seemed angry to be awoken, but when they saw that the Atlantis had come in, they settled down. Everyone seemed to be looking towards Will and Jack for directions.
"Bloody crew. Knew they were all really bad eggs. Should' a seen my old crew, they were somethin' special!" Jack sighed, gazing into space. Will glared at him.
"The same crew that tried to kill us and sacrifice us and steal your ship twice?" He asked. Jack seemed startled.
"Oh, yes, that. Perhaps they weren't the ideal crew." Jack commented. "Bloody Barbossa. A traitor if I ever saw one." Jack growled. Will sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Well, do you have a plan at least?" Asked Will.
"I do. But it will take some concentration, savvy?"
