Chapter 4
Captain Brookes looked as though he hated being brought down to a place where he was forced to cooperate with a pirate, but when his men started to rustle in impatience and anger around him, he gave up the ghost of his dignity.
"Very well Captain Sparrow, I will finish my story, there is not much remaining to it anyhow. As you can see, we were defeated in the battle, and we were forced to watch that atrocious harlot as she first tied our cannons to ropes and then lowered them into the sea, all around the ship."
Jack did not even try to stifle his laughter, "I'll like this broad, she's me kind of pirate."
Brookes waited in a British Navy silence until Jack was finished, then continued, "The woman honestly had no shame, when the canons were all submerged, and we were riding low, due of course to their combined force, she walked right up to me, to me, a Captain of the Royal Navy, and kissed me on the cheek."
Yes, now he could see it, now that he looked, the dim red outline of a woman's mouth, a shape Jack knew well, with the tracings of the lines in her lips left in between a dark shade of crimson.
"After that final and degrading humiliation, she brought my men and myself down here and had her crew bind us as we are now." The Captain of the Black Pearl felt the wheels turning in his head, a kind of whirring feel. The appearance of an extremely lucky, perpetually drunk pirate captain was at times a useful ruse, but in truth he could be an alarmingly clever and dangerous man.
This Captain of the Bloody Ruby sounded like a woman who spoke his language, and who could prove a useful ally in a time of need.
"Thank you Captain Brookes, you truly have been very cooperative, now for my side of the aforesaid bargain."
He walked about twenty feet away from the tied group and took out a knife. A small, cheap thing, bought in the markets of Singapore, easily spared. Jack lay it on the ground and turned back to them, "Now, when you reach this knife, ye'll be able to get yerselves free. You need to learn to work together anyway, crew'd never work any other way, savvy?"
With that final remark he gave them a glinting grin and swayed out of the room, wildly proud of his own actions. He stopped at the Captain's quarters and went to one of the walls.
There he carved his name and the motto, "A coward is someone who turns away from the important fight, and tells everyone he won it."- A description of Captain Brookes. The man honestly had no idea how close he had come to having Captain Jack Sparrow's dagger in his chest
He came back on deck and Gibbs ran up to him, out of breath and jabbering, "Capt'n, there be no cargo, and there be no cannons, there be nothin' but, still the ship, she rides low, and there's no one on board."
"Calm down Gibbs, I found all the crew below decks, 'nother pirate took the swag, and the cannons be hanging overboard, I suggest we get the crew and make ourselves scarce afore they be reachin' that knife." Gibbs's eyes crinkled in confusion, "Sir?" "Never mind, just hurry."
Gibbs was halfway across the deck when with a sound like sticks hitting fence posts, one of the ropes holding the sea bound cannons snapped. "Gibbs!" "Aye, sir" "Half a moment, get out yer knife and snip the lines you see hangin' over the edge of the ship." "Aye sir." They set to work and soon the ship was rocking as if in a swell and the cannons were sinking into the depths of the Caribbean. Jack turned to the crew that had accumulated on the deck, "Now, we go."
The crew scurried over the gangplank and as pirates hit the deck, Jack gave out his next order, "Now full sail straight ahead, and make it quick."
He would catch up with the Bloody Ruby. He would meet this Captain Scarlet. Why, because he was Captain Jack Sparrow.
