The next night, the Black Pearl came to Tortuga and docked. It was late, but the crew left the boat to find drink and spend their new money.
Amanda sat in her cell, playing with some pebbles on the floor. A bit of water had leaked in and she swirled the stones around in it. A bit of moonlight came from the hole in the wall and she turned to look out of it. She sighed and began to sing, as she looked out at the town.
"The sky above the roof, is calm and sweet.
A tree above the roof, bends in the heat.
A bell from out the blue, drowsily rings.
A bird from out the blue, plaintively sings.
Ah, God! A life is here, simple and fair.
Murmurs of strife are here, lost in the air.
Why dost thou weep, oh heart, poured out in tears.
What hast thou done, oh heart, with thy spent years."
"You have a beautiful voice, Miss Swann. No wonder Jack loves you." Amanda turned to see Bootstrap standing next to her cell.
"Thank you, William. But please, call me Amanda." He smiled and sat down on a barrel near the cell door.
"What are we going to do with that coin?" Amanda uncovered it from under the bench and held it up.
"Throw it overboard?" She suggested.
"Too easy. How about destroying it?"
"How? We don't have tools. [Or a cute blacksmith.]" She rubbed her finger across the pirate image. "We could make it into a necklace so it's not as easily noticed."
"And then what? Send it off to Zanzibar?"
"Well, let's just get past the first step. Why don't you go into town now and make it into a necklace."
"Okay. I'll be back soon." He took it from her and left the room. It was early the next day when he came back.
On Jack's side of the world, he sat on the abandoned beach that had become his home. He had been there for three days. [Count 'em, three. Three days on the island, ah ah!]
"Bloody Barbossa. If he touches Amanda, I'll…I'll…" He angrily threw an empty bottle of rum into the sea. It crashed into the front of a ship that had just dropped anchor there. However, in Jack's present shape, he had failed to notice it.
The lifeboat came to shore and 2 women, 3 men and a dog came out of it.
"Well, well. If it isn't Jack Sparrow," said one of the ladies.
"Scarlett!" He waltzed up to her and she whacked him hard on the cheek.
"What was that for?"
"For you being here, because now, we have to take you to Tortuga."
"Well, I'd be most obliged if you would, but how do you know where I want to go?"
"Because, the Pearl's there. I thought you knew that." He smiled at her.
"Of course I did, luv. Now, to Tortuga."
