Hmmmm, another one, just how many am I posting today? Wait and see. The uni computers are very useful for this though. My computer does not have a spell checker on it so I post from university. I admit, I can't spell. Review and everything will be alright.

Chapter four, a Kidnapping and a few other things as well.

Jack and his hand picked band of pirates were sneaking up on the governor's house. Ducking behind bushes and other garden items.

"Wind in my sails" Jack turned to Mr. Cotton, who was lying on the ground hiding behind a garden gnome.

"Shut that bird up, or go back to the ship." Cotton thought about that for a moment and began moving back towards the ship. Jack and his hand picked men began moving stealthily towards the governor's house again. Jack ducked behind a ridiculously low hedge and lay there, motioning for the other six members of his, crew.

"Now remember, on my word, we jump this hedge run the rest of they way to the porch, grab Elizabeth, Will and the Governor, then take them back to the Pearl. Once there throw them all into the brig, and I'll deal with them. Remember, we need lots of yelling and gunfire. But not enough to bring guards from the fort. Just enough to make Norrington think that the governors dead. Savvy?" the crew 'quietly' muttered,

"AYE" and they waited, and waited and waited and waited. Elizabeth, Will and the Governor eventually appeared on the back porch. The Governor held a brandy glass and he was deep in conversation with Will. Jack gave the signal and all hell broke lose. Standing up Jack yelled "NOW" and his crew attacked. It was a short battle, Elizabeth raised her hands in defeat, Will was overpowered by two strong men, okay one strong man and Ana Marie, and the governor gave himself up readily. Jack fired off three shots, and the crew smuggled the three prisoners away chuckling as their prisoners uttered greetings. Jack, through some ingenious gut feeling, had purchased a small pig in the market, okay he stole it, but that wasn't the point. Jack had drained the blood of the pig earlier and put it into a spare teakettle. He pulled the kettle from its hiding place behind the hedge and poured liberal amounts of blood over the porch, for added effect. Then taking a last look around, Jack left the 'ransom' note he had written earlier, and ran away.

The Commodore arrived seconds after Jack disappeared from view, cutlass in hand. He picked up the note and began smiling; his man had done a good job. A maid scurried in and screamed when she saw the blood. "Hush woman, pirates have taken our dear governor and his family, but don't worry. I shall get them back." The woman looked skeptical, 'don't worry, I know who has them, look here, the signature of the infamous pirate Jack Sparrow, and I have in my possession a young lady who knows exactly where he will be." With that, the Commodore left the governors bloodied porch and headed towards the fort, the Integra and Emily.

Jack was having a good day, it seemed that Will and Elizabeth had told the Governor what was going on and he was very happy to be kidnapped. The governor had called the little interlude a holiday. The only thing bothering Jack was Mr. Cotton, who kept tugging on Jacks sleeve. The Pearl had sailed out of Port Royal Bay, and they were out on the high sea. Jack had broken out the rum, his crew was happy, the governor was having a drink with the crew, Will and Elizabeth were huddled on the stairs that lead to the helm. Cotton was still tugging on Jack Sleeve.

"What is it Mr. Cotton?" the parrot made a squawking noise

"Wind in your sails. Cross the stars, wind in your sails." Jack took a swig of rum thinking,

'Cross the stars, the birds gone mad." Jack spit out his rum,

"DID YOU SAY CROSS THE STARS?" the crew, and their 'hostages' looked at Jack and cotton,

"wind in your sails"

"As in Emily Cross-Star?"

"Wind in your sails:"

"As in 'oh help me I'm all cursed and possessed' Emily Cross-Star."

"Wind in your sails"

"You don't mean, Emily sister of Josephine Cross-Star, the most feared pirate in all the Spanish Maine?"

"Dead men tell no tales."

"What?" Jack was confused, deciphering the parrot's talk was hard sometimes, and he needed more rum.

"Captain if I may?" Gibbs spoke up, Jack waved his hand, drinking from the bottle, "Last I heard Josie, went mad, Barbossa marooned her on an island somewhere, Emily disappeared from the 'Rose', she hasn't been seen in eight years. I saw her today though; she's grown up real pretty. Looks just like her mother, got the eyes of her father. She's living with Commodore Norrington." Gibbs waited for the information to sink into Jacks head.

"As in the Black Roses' Sky-chaser. Red hair, jumps from things?" Gibbs nodded, "bloody 'ell. Did we get her too?" Gibbs shook his head, "should have, Sky-chasers are handy." Will and Elizabeth had become interested in the conversation between Jack and Gibbs, they were standing next to Jack, he turned to them grinning, "I suppose you got some questions about Emily then?"
