Chapter 3: He's Not Stupid

"Oh Eliz-" Will said, turning around and very startled when he didn't see Elizabeth but someone unexpected.

"Hello young William."

"Ana Maria? What are you doing in Port Royal? Did you come with the Black Pearl? Is Jack here?! If he's caught then-"

"Relax. You should now by now that Jack can take care of himself, he might act like it, but he's not stupid. He knows that he would be hung if he was caught in Port Royal. He is, however, waiting on the Pearl, he needs to speak to you immediately."

"Oh, well then I shall go to him, I'll just go tell Elizabeth."

"NO! There is no time, you must come now."

An hour later they were on board the ship. Jack had taken Will into the office, where he could talk with him privately. Only Gibbs and Ana Maria had any idea what has going one, and they were told very little about the situation.

"William, my boy, so glad to see you. Just wish we could've met under better circumstances."

"Jack, it's been almost two years, and not a word from you. It's good to know you haven't been hung. But what is the purpose of this."

"Well, I've been having a bit o' trouble lately, and I need your help, savvy? I was told that I needed to find you, I need help with my past." Jack went on to explain the story.

"I see, but I don't know how I can help you, we didn't even know each other until three years ago."

"Ah yes, but your father knew me for quite a long time before I had arrived in Tortuga and met Barbossa. I met him about the time I got the Black Pearl. So, I was having a thought, maybe your dear old dad left you something, besides the medallion of course."

"Well, I think there was something. It was.It was." Will started reaching in his pockets and pulled out an object. "Here, it's a key, I never knew what it was for, but it was all had left of him when I arrived in Port Royal, so I kept it close. I always carry it with me."

"Hmm, let me think, it must go to something on board, something he didn't want any of the crew to find, especially Barbossa." Jack took the key and went in search of something while muttering to himself. He started looking in cabinets and moving objects, searching far into the back. On the fourth cabinet, he gave a gasp and jumped out of it. "I've found it, this must be it" He stuck the key in the lock he found, there was a click and a secret compartment popped open.

"Well, what's in there?"

"It's."
