Chapter 4 - Shock

"My father?" Will asked sounding confused. "It can't be, Barbossa sent him down to the bottom of Davey Jones' Locker!"

"True 'nuff" Jack replied, "but are ye forgettin' that the pirates on the Pearl be cursed then? Bein' at the bottom of the sea and not bein' able to die! If it were me, I'd be unstrappin' the canon and walkin' till I found me a spit of land. How bout you mate?"

"I had just assumed he was dead. How do you know it's him?" Will asked

"By the initials of course!" Jack replied "Especially when it is signed along side TS."

"Who is TS Jack?" he asked "And why are they with my father? I want to know everything!"

"Everything eh?" Jack said, "That my boy is a long story, that will definitely require more rum, savvy?" he said with a wink!

Part 2

"How long do ya think Bill?" Therese asked.

"A week, maybe two. If I know Jack, and trust me I do, 'tis a mystery he won't pass up!" he replied, "Don't worry young one - he'll come and we'll finish this proper!"

Therese hoped Bill was right. She had been running for far too long. She was also curious about Sparrow. She had met him only once, when this whole mess had begun. He had tried to save her, but was thwarted by Quinn. It had taken Therese three years to escape Quinn, and she had been running from him for the last two. Bill had been the only friend she had in that time. She trusted him completely, so when he had come up with the plan to contact Jack she had gone along with it. Now she could only hope Bill was right about Captain Jack Sparrow!
