Captain Jack Sparrow staggered out of the inn at about midnight.

"Nice meeting ya luv!" Jack yelled up at the woman on the balcony, a thin sheet the only thing on her.

"'Ope ta see ye soon. Very soon." Jack flashed his golden-toothed grin at her before turning on one heel in the direction of his only true love, The Black Pearl. Or so he thought.

He made his way through the heart of Tortuga, where there seemed to have been a raid when he was…busy. And a bad raid at that. Houses had crumbled, and people were dead on the ground. Jack winced at the thought of the pirates who had done this. Of course he had no idea who they were, but it was pirate's code not to raid a town without looking for something. And by the looks of the town, nobody had taken anything. Just the lives of innocent people. 

"Maybe they were looking for something they didn't find." Jack stroked his chin as he thought about it. He simply shrugged the thought off and walked towards the harbor. He saw his crew waiting for him, Anamaria tapping her foot impatiently.

"Yer late Cap'n." She said annoyed.

"Can I help it if I'm beautiful?" Jack said winking at Anamaria, who huffed and walked onto the ship. Jack and the rest of the crew followed her.

Jack was happy to be back onboard the Pearl. He had been in Tortuga for two days and needed the horizon again. It was what he lived for. The challenge of trying to chase the horizon but never actually getting it was what kept Jack going.

Jack smiled at Gibbs when he walked up to him.

"We be about ready to set sail Cap'n." Gibbs said cheerfully.

"Wonderful." Jack smiled, hands at the wheel. He had no idea where he was going, but he was going to get there.

"Gibbs, where ye think we should go next?" Jack looked at Gibbs, who was surprised he had some say in where the ship would be turning.

"I don' rightly know a place we haven't never been to Cap'n." Gibbs said, thinking very hard.

"Aye. Appears yer right." Jack answered him.

"We 'aven't seen the Turner boy in a while." Gibbs suggested.

"Port Royal it is then." Jack said turning the ship in that direction.

"Anamaria!"

"Yes Cap'n?"

"Steer."

"Yes Cap'n."

Jack flashed a smile at Anamaria and walked into his cabin. He took his boots and jacket off and was just about to settle in with some rum when he heard his closet snoring softly.

"I 'aven't even started drinking yet." Jack said, confused. He walked over to his closet. Feeling very stupid, he knocked on the door.

"Well, I've gone completely crazy." Jack laughed at the thought of someone hiding in his closet. Curiosity got the better of him and he opened the door.

"WHOA!" Jack yelled as a girl…no woman, fell at his feet. She groaned at being awoken so suddenly and looked up at him.

"Yer one hell of an amateur stowaway luv." Jack smiled at her.

She looked up at him and then fainted onto the floor.

Jack stared in confusion at the woman. After a second, he noticed her arm had been cut by something. She had bled a lot and it was on her dress. Jack picked her up and put her on his bed. He walked out of his cabin and bumped into Brian, his newest crewmember.

"Get me Anamaria." Jack said to the boy.

"Aye right away Cap'n Sparrow." Brian ran off to get Anamaria.

Jack leaned back on his cabin and waited for Anamaria. He was getting impatient when he saw Anamaria yelling at Brian, who was leading her to him.

"Anamaria leave the boy alone I sent 'im to get ye." Jack said narrowing his eyes at Anamaria.

"Aye. What did ye take me away from my dinner for?" Anamaria said angrily.

"Stowaway." Jack said leading her into his cabin. Anamaria rolled her eyes. She knew the stowaway was a woman or Jack would have handled them himself.

"Draw her a bath and get her into some clean clothes." Jack ordered Anamaria, handing her a shirt and trousers for the girl.

"Aye."

"And call me when yer done wit all that. Don't talk to her savvy?" Jack patted Anamaria on the head.

Anamaria was tempted to slap him as he pranced out of the room. She turned back to the girl and did what Jack told her and then bandaged the girls arm. Fortunately, she had been somewhat awake through the process and Anamaria didn't have to carry her around.

"Where am I?" She asked Anamaria. Anamaria ignored her and went to go get Jack.

"Yer stowaway awaits ye." Anamaria said sarcastically, taking the wheel from Jack as he headed for his cabin.

Jack walked into the cabin to see the woman lying on his bed, looking at one of his maps. Anamaria had bandaged her arm.
