Well, no. For it wasn't Barbossa coming down the stairs - but Jack Sparrow,
accompanied by two crewmembers of the Black Pearl. He'd been captured. They
really weren't going to get out of this alive. He was shoved into a cell
opposite Will.
"You look terrible, lad" said Jack, quietly.
When he saw Elizabeth, he lifted his hat. "M'lady," he said. "'Tis nice to
see you both again, but unfortunately under less than good circumstances."
They chatted for a while, reminiscing about old times and old adventures,
and laughing, for all them, for the first time in months.
The laughter could be heard up on deck, and soon it drew crewmembers down
to the cells.
"What's so funny? Shouted the hefty pirate who had come down to
investigate.
No one said anything, which made the pirate angry.
"Bo'sun!" he shouted. "Get the captain!"

Soon Barbossa came down the stairs, obviously angry that he'd been interrupted from eating his dinner. He pointed at Will, who was taken roughly out of his cell. The chains had hardly been unlocked before he was pulled out of them. He struggled fiercely, and was pulled up the stairs onto the deck. He looked at Elizabeth and smiled, mouthing that it would okay and winking at her. She smiled at him, believing him. And it would be okay. Just not for Will.
