Soon the Black Pearl approached the Defiant and Will slipped below, as to
avoid any suspicion. Jack left the wheel and walked to the side of his ship
as Meris did the same. "I was starting to think ye wasn't coming back!"
Meris shouted across the water at Jack. "And leave you with a beautiful
woman on board all to yourself mate?" Jack called back, scanning the deck
at the same time, looking for Sarah.
"So, yer going to show me to Isla de Muerta or are ye planning some feeble attack on me ship?" Meris asked. "Well, I was going to try both," Jack said with a shrug. "But I think I'll just show you to Isla de Muerta," He told him. "But before I do show you, I need to know if the girl's safe - I want to see her," Jack said and Meris called one of his men over.
"There she is, still alive if that's what yer fretting bout," Meris told Jack as the pirate shoved her over to him. He then grabbed his pistol and held it to Sarah's throat. Sarah swallowed hard and prayed he wouldn't pull the trigger. "Now there'd better not be any problems and ye better not even think of showing me to the wrong place," He warned. "No worries, Sarah, are you okay love?" Jack called. "Not to worry love, you'll be safe back home in no time," He told her.
"And Meris, you'll be filthy stinking rich before long so don't you worry," He told the captain. "But there is something I should warn you about," He said and Meris rolled his eyes. "Look, I aint got the rest of me life to hang around here talking bout it," Meris shouted at Jack, pressing the tip of his pistol a little further to Sarah's neck to emphasise his point. "You don't want to know what else I know mate?" Jack asked. "Okay then, to Isla de Muerta we go."
"What else do you know?" Meris wanted Jack to hurry up and show him to Isla de Muerta but he was curious as to what Jack was talking about. "Oh, so now you want to know," Jack teased him carefully, not taking his eyes off the captain's pistol. "I thought you said you didn't want to waste anymore time - but don't worry, it wasn't that relevant anyway," He said. "Right, well, to Isla de Muerta you wish to go so to Isla de Muerta I shall take you."
Meris watched as Jack walked away from the side of the Black Pearl and over to the wheel. As he shouted a couple of commands to his crew Meris turned to his own. "Raise the anchor!" He shouted and signalled to his first mate. "Keep them close and always in cannon range - I don't want to risk them pulling any pranks," He ordered and then called Henry over.
"Put her back in her cell boy," He told him and Henry nodded weakly and took Sarah's arm. He took her back below deck and Sarah stopped walking. "I thought you said he was going to let me go once Jack showed him to Isla de Muerta," She said. "Why then is he putting me back down in here?" She asked.
"I don't know," Henry told her as he began to walk forward again. "Maybe he's just putting you back down here until we get to Isla de Muerta," He suggested as they reached the cells and he opened the door. "I really don't know what his plan is but I just want to apologise for my part in this," He told her before closing the door and hurrying away.
