"Hide in here," Douglas said in a hushed voice as he practically threw Dinah into the Captains quarters. She wiggled the handle, but he had locked it. Are you kidding me? She thought to herself. A chance to see Ana Maria and here she is, locked in a room. Of course she had butterflies as to who else might be out there.
"Round up the crew and search every room for loot, mates!" She heard a voice from the outside yell. It was definitely him alright.
"Tie them up as hard as you want Gibbs,"
There was a jiggle at the handle to the door. "Jack, this door is locked!" Ana Maria yelled to her captain. Blast that woman! What is she trying to do!? Get me tied up with the whole bunch? Dinah thought as she hid behind a book shelf.
"Okay, which one of you is Douglas? I know one of you must be…" Jack said to the crew. Dinah craned her neck to hear, but as far as she could tell, no one spoke up.
"You mates don't want me to get ugly now do you? I have left ships in much worse shape then I was planning on leaving yours, now, please, who is Douglas?"
"I am." Dinah heard.
"Where's the key?"
"In my pocket." Dinah smacked her head. Yes, mother, he may be a pretty, rich boy with an ego the size of the Americas…but he's not the brightest of the bunch!
Dinah heard Jack slowly step heavily towards the door. She heard the door unlock and slowly squeak open. Ana Maria walked in and started looking around. She found gold candle-stick holders, in the bag. A clock, in the bag. Passed the book case and then finally her eyes fell upon Dinah.
Dinah saw her face lighten up, and then heard a scream. Next she felt herself being strangled to death by a thing this woman called a hug. Good ole Ana…
"Ana?" Dinah heard Jack.
Ana froze and slowly straightened, "Sorry Jack, I thought I saw a….uh… a uh…"
Jack didn't wait for Ana to finish her sentence. He marched to where she was and saw Dinah. His eyes widened and he marched right out the room. He stood in front of Douglas and asked, "What are you doing, caring a woman on board?"
"HEY!" Both the women protested as they marched out of the room.
"Dinah, No!" Douglas protested.
"Dinah? First name relationship, are we?"
Jack turned to Dinah, who was standing by him, looking at her nails. Jack rolled his eyes, "Why Dinah, do you have make up on?"
Dinah only moved her eyes to meet his, "No, why?"
"Well you need to."
Dinah narrowed her eyes and then smiled, "Well let me borrow some from you, because you certainly have more than enough…"
Jack half smiled in a rude way and then said, "Gentlemen, we now have the loot, and the entertainment! To the Pearl!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, I don't entertain anyone except for my piano teacher, now what do you think you're doing?"
Jack turned on his heel and walked up to Dinah and moved his face into her personal space, "Let me spell it out for you, luv, you are coming with me. More like a kidnap. I'm sure your mother would be quite proud of Douglas for letting such a thing happen." He smiled and turned to leave.
But once again, Dinah protested. "Jack! Are you just going to let this crew be tied to the mast! What if a storm comes! What then?"
He whirled around, "Well then I'll guess they'll be on secure ground. And you best be calling me Captain, luv."
"Don't call me luv." Dinah said, putting emphasis on 'don't'.
Jack sighed heavily and looked Dinah in the eyes; he had forgotten how much her eyes looked like the ocean. "Dinah, please, let's just go without a fuss."
"Captain, I don't know who you think you are, or however much power you think you have over me, but if you're going to take me from this ship, it's not going to be by my choice."
"Fine. Stay here, I actually thought I was rescuing you."
"Rescuing me!? I don't need anyone to rescue me! I've gone twenty-one years without any help from anyone!" She shouted at him. By this time Jack's crew was already on the Pearl and listening intently to this little squabble. "And I certainly don't need any from you!"
"But what about the time in–" Dinah slapped him before he could anything else. "Take your ship and leave."
"Now, I thought you knew me better than that, Dinah! I may stand to be slapped, but I will not take orders from a woman." The word 'woman' rolled off Jack's tongue so harshly that Dinah was about to slap him again when he caught her arm. He cocked his left eyebrow and shook his head. Then he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder and carried her to the Pearl.
