"Treasure? What treasure? Will was taken over a treasure?" she demanded to know.

"Will was taken as well? That's not good. Not good at all," Jack mumbled as he turned away a bit.

"What's not good?" Elizabeth demanded to know as she walked around to face him.

"Tranko's not the type to take prisoners he doesn't need to take. He must have seen Will as something to use against this Sonja you mentioned," Jack explained to her.

"Are you going to do anything about it?" she asked him as he started to walk away.

She began to follow him towards the docks. He glanced at her along the way and he gave a small sigh as he looked over at the 'Black Pearl'.

"Will's a good friend and even if he wasn't, I still wouldn't want to see anyone in Tranko's grasp. I will try and get my crew to go after him. I believe they'll agree because they know of Tranko as well," Jack told her.

"I want to go with you," Elizabeth told him.

Jack was a bit surprised by this but after a moment, he realized he shouldn't be. Elizabeth was one who was interested in pirates. He could tell once he saw her.

"Alright, come on. We have to go after him and we have to do it quickly," Jack finally told her before they headed towards the docks.

Sonja stared at the window. It appeared to Will that if she stared at it any longer, she would soon grow wings and fly out of it.

"What's wrong?" he finally asked her.

"Everything is wrong. I am not supposed to be here, captured by him," she replied, almost spitting out the last word.

"Who exactly is he?" wondered Will. "And why would he want you?"

"He's Captain Tranko. He leads the crew of this ship, the 'White Moon'. It's funny that a man like him is a captain to this ship. The ship's too good for him," she explained as she gave a sigh.

"Like him. What does he want exactly with you?" he wondered.

"I'd rather not talk about it quite yet," she replied in a quiet voice.

She stared out of the window once again and Will decided to leave the subject alone.

###

Captain Tranko looked over that crew as they worked, leading their ship out into the water. He knew where he was going, what he was looking for. Once they would arrive where they would land, he would persuade Sonja to show him what he wanted to see.

"Oh dear Yas. All these years I have always been one step behind you, just missing you by a day or a week but not this time. I have you and you will show me where that treasure is located. You know where it is," he muttered to himself.

He walked up to Parto and Alige, who both turned to look at their captain.

"Parto, Alige, I would have the two of you stand outside the room our guests are currently in. They will need someone to help them stay in there," the captain told them.

The two of them nodded before heading over to the room. Tranko followed them and walked into the room to see Will near the window and Sonja was nowhere to be seen.

"Where is she?" he demanded to know.

"I don't know where she is," he replied with a calm voice.

Tranko could tell that there was a bit of worry in his voice despite his calm appearance. He walked up to the young man, who looked at him.

"You know where she is and I demand that you tell me where she is. She can't easily get off this ship and I know how she works. She won't leave someone behind because of her," Tranko quietly told Will.

Will slightly gulped as he looked at the man standing beside him before his stare went behind him. Tranko turned around to see Sonja standing behind him, an obviously angry look on her face.

"No matter what you do to me, you will not force me to tell you where it is," she snarled at him.

"Oh yes you will. I will be certain of it once we give you a reason to tell us but it will wait until we arrive at the island," Tranko replied, giving a smirk.

He grabbed her wrist and and looked into her eyes. It appeared as if they were almost burning into her.

"You will do as we tell you. I assure you miss," Tranko quietly told her.

Will saw Sonja being almost repulsed by the man who stood next to her, whispering into her ear.

'I can't start imagining the history between these two and why she hates him so much,' he thought to himself.

He watched as Sonja was forcibly shoved in his direction. He caught her before she lost her balance and the two watched as Tranko walked out. Sonja suddenly went after them but the door was closed before she arrived at her destination. Will thought he could actually hear her growling as she went to sit down in a chair nearby. He watched as she ran a hand through her hair.

"He won't win this," he heard her say.

"Who exactly is this Tranko?" wondered Elizabeth as they climbed up the side of the boat.

"He's a pirate and he's a captain, luv. He'a also a man whose greed for gold and jewels will never be satisfied, savvy?" Jack replied as they climbed onto the deck. "The men who make up his crew are not to be taken lightly either."

He looked around at his crew, who were carefully watching him, wondering what was going on.

"We have a problem. Tranko's been here," he told them.

Whisperings could be heard amongst the crew. It appeared to Elizabeth that they had heard of him.

"Tranko? Captain Tranko? I thought he was dead long ago! This isn't possible!" Anamaria cried out as she stepped forward.

"Apparently, he isn't dead. The reason I know is because of the style that's done on the city and the fact he has prisoners. He's taken Will along with a young woman, a pirate," Jack replied.

"What are we going to do about it?" wondered Mr. Gibbs as he walked up to Anamaria's side.

"What do you think? We're going after them. I don't know about you but I certainly can't let Will or that woman stay in the hands of Tranko. He's a dangerous man," Jack replied.

The crew gave each other slightly confused looks. It almost appeared as if they were saying 'is he crazy?' Jack sighed as he looked over the crew.

"We are going after them, whether you like it or not," Jack told them in a stern voice before heading towards the wheel.

Mr. Gibbs and Anamaria hurried up to him. They were now walking beside Jack Sparrow.

"You must be more daft that what I first took you for. We have no reason to go back there! Why must we go after them?" demanded Anamaria as she managed to stand in front of him, thus stopping him.

"I've already told you Anamaria. Those are my reasons. Just like Barbossa had to be stopped, so does Tranko, savvy?" Jack replied before starting to walk around her.

Anamaria watched him with an open mouth before giving him a cold stare.

"I don't believe it! You know Tranko. I'm sure there's a good reason behind it and I would love to hear it," she told him, not sounding happy at all.

She crossed her arms as Elizabeth walked up to them. She was slightly confused.

"I overheard the conversation. Where are we going anyway? What place don't you want to go back to?" asked Elizabeth.

"Miss Swann, I think it'd be best if I took you to a cabin," suggested Gibbs as he placed a hand on her arm.

"No, wait Mr. Gibbs. I think she has a right to know where we're heading since it's the one she loves that we're after and the fact that she can probably help us," Jack told him as he glanced over at the older man. "Elizabeth, the island we're heading to, is Isla de Muerta."

"Isla de Muerta? But isn't that where...?" she started before placing a hand on her forehead. "Oh, this is just perfect."

"Don't you just love how things turn out? That's right luv. We're heading back to the place where the cursed treasure of Cortez is hidden," Jack told her with a knowing smile.
