"Ey Pettey!" A boy of about 17 got off of a boat and looked around. "Where's Jezebell, 'Taint' seen 'er since ye got off the boat." He said tilting his head to the side.
"Aye Will, she went off on 'er own. Didn't say where." Pettey said with a shrug.
"D'ye t'ink I should go lookin far 'er? Red beard 'taint' gonna like 'er not bein here." Will said, his black eyes turning to Pete.
"Aye...give the lass an hour, then ye can go aftar 'er" Pettey said as he walked over to join some of the other men in taking over a building that had been abandoned.

"So Jack...ye fancy yerself a cowboy is it?" She asked pointing to his hat. Jack laughed and shook his head.
"Naw, I'se jus always wanted ta go ta Santa Fe, but den aftah da Newsie strike I realized dat me family is right here." Jack said and looked over her clothing again. "How about you? I ain't seen anyone dressed like ya befoah..." Jack said looking into her startling blue eyes.
"Well, did ye ever t'ink that maybe ye 'taint seen someone like me 'cause they taint wan'tin ye ta see em?" She asked and shook her head. "I dress the way that the rest of me crew dresses, we're pirates." She said with a wink. "Santa Fe wasn't that spectacular... 'twas like all the other deserts." She said leaning back in her chair looking over the two boys.
"Woah, woah, woah, hold it...Pirates are from fairy tales...dey dun really exist." Jack pointed out looking at her curiously. 'Maybe she's insane?' He thought to himself.
"Well laddy, that would be where yer wrong. We been existin for quite some time. Tis true that we are not many, but we still exist." She said taking a flask out of a pocket. She opened it and took a swig. "Oh and will ye do me a favar and not be mentionin this ta anyone...we 'taint' lookin ta be caught savvy?" She said as her food was brought over to the table.
"So Jezebell...what sorts of places have ya gone ta?" Blink asked, fascinated by the idea that Pirates were not just fantasy.
"I've sailed all around the world. France, Italy, England, the Caribbean, South America, Asia, and other places." Jezebell said looking at her drink with a frown. "Do ye not know how ta drink around here?" She asked as she opened her flask again and poured some of it into the drink.
"What is dat exactly?" Jack asked his eyes on her drink.
"Rum." She answered simply.
"So you sailed here in a ship?" Blink asked getting back on topic.
"Aye, a vessel called the Black Pearl. She's been in me family since befar me Great grandpappy, the infamous Cap'n Jack Sparrow." Jezebell said expecting them to know who he was. When she looked up at them and saw the confusion on their faces she frowned. "Dont tell me ye aint heard a The Infamous Jack Sparrow, Cap'n a da Black Pearl." She said her blue eyes wide. Blink and Jack both shook their heads. "Well den, I s'pose it's me place ta tell ye." She said taking a sip of her drink. "Cap'n Jack Sparrow was most widely known befar dis place was even a country." She started. " 'E was da cap'n of da mysterious ship called the Black Pearl. Jack heard of an untold treasure, on an isle that could nea be found, save far those who already knew where it'was. Jack found a compass, and a map, dat were de only way tah get tah de isle. 'Is first mate Barbossas betrayed 'im and took the map. 'E led de rest a de crew intah a mutiny and marooned Jack on an isle..."
"What does maroon mean?" Jack interrupted.
"When a pirate is marooned they are abandoned on an island with no food nor water, only a gun with a single bullet." She explained. "Anyways, Barbossas and the rest a de crew found the treasure an took it all. The treasure 'ad a terrible curse on it and would not be lifted until they returned every piece a gold to the chest. Long stary short, Jack and Bootstraps Bill's son defeated the ghostly crew a de black pearl, returning Jack to his rightful place as Cap'n." She said grinning madly. "Aye but me ship, you cannot see so don't bothar ta ask. When the Black pearl ain't wantin ta be seen, she wont be." Jezebell said her hand gently touching her medallion.
"Aye Will, she went off on 'er own. Didn't say where." Pettey said with a shrug.
"D'ye t'ink I should go lookin far 'er? Red beard 'taint' gonna like 'er not bein here." Will said, his black eyes turning to Pete.
