Jack slammed the door to his cabin. "Damn you, Anna! Can't you understand!
I try, I really do, but I'm not perfect!" he yelled aloud to himself.
Sighing angrily, he sat down on his tiny bed and put his head in his hands.
"I want to tell you, Anna..." his voice trailed off at the sound of
footsteps on deck. Grabbing his pistol, he threw open the door.
Twenty or so red-coated soldiers stood outside his cabin door, their rifles raised. "Well, well. If it isn't Jack Sparrow," came an oddly familiar voice. Jack looked up and saw Commodore Norrington walk up to him, a satisfied grin upon his face. "It has been a while, Sparrow."
Jack looked down at this pistol in his hand. Norrington must have as well. "Are you going to resist?"
"No." Jack dropped the pistol. "I have more important things to worry about." Norrington nodded. "Take him away and lock him in the fort."
~*~
Sam Wilson ducked back below a crate, placing his pistol back into its holster. Anamaria and Gibbs looked at him eagerly. "Well?"
"If he won't resist, we won't," Sam said.
"He let the damned Redcoats take 'im?" Gibbs said furiously. Anamaria grabbed his arm to hold him back. Gibbs glared at her for a moment and shook her away.
"He's got Miss Anna to worry about," Anamaria said.
"But what's the good of getting' taken then. He ain't gonna be able the help her from prison!" Gibbs yelled. This time Sam quieted him.
"Yeh want them the hear us! What good will it do the cap'n if were in the cell next to him?" Gibbs was silent. "Now, we have to find Anna. Gibbs, where do yeh propose we start?"
~*~
Anna sat down on the front steps in exasperation. "What about Jack? Is he all right?" "We saw soldiers heading towards the docks as we left," Will said. "I have a feeling the commodore knows Jack has returned." Elizabeth gasped and Anna slammed her fist on the steps.
"We have to warn him! Will, is there time to reach the docks before them?"
"No," came the answer, but it wasn't Will who said it. Anna looked up and squinted in the dark.
"Sam?" she called. Sam, Gibbs and Anamaria emerged from the darkness, looking glum. Anna ran forward and threw her arms around Sam's neck. "They've got Jack already, don't they?" she asked shakily. Sam hugged her tight.
"They do, Anna. I'm sorry." They let go of each other, Anna's eyes red with un-fallen tears.
"So what do we do now?" Alex asked.
"We get Jack out," Anna answered confidently. "But, I need time to think of how. Will, can Sam and the others stay with you?"
Will nodded. "I see no problem with it. We'll meet you at the shop at midnight."
"Sounds good to me."
"But where are you going to stay, Anna?" piped up Alex.
"Here, with Jacky and Elizabeth. I'm, for the moment, Jacky and yours cousin, as far as the governor is concerned."
"Alex, please, just tell Father that I'm staying here, okay?" Jacky begged.
Alex nodded. He then hugged Jacky, and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I'll see you tomorrow." She nodded. Alex then turned to Anna and did the same.
"What was that for?" she asked.
"You're my cousin, right? Let's make it seem like you are. Anybody may be watching us all." Anna smiled and nodded.
"Well, I will see you all in the morning. Sam, take care and, don't do anything stupid, savvy?"
Sam nodded and followed Will, Gibbs and Anamaria down the drive and into the darkness. Alex left them a few moments later, in the opposite direction of the others. Elizabeth put a hand on Anna's arm and led her inside.
~*~
Jack was shoved roughly into a cell.
"I'm disappointed, Sparrow," Norrington mused. "I expected some kind of crazy escape, but it looks like that will not happen." Jack glared at him. "Tomorrow, Sparrow, you'll go to the gallows, hopefully for the last time."
Norrington left, and Jack slammed his fist against the cell wall. He was stuck. It was pointless to try and break out. All he could do was wait, and hope someone would get him out.
~*~
Anna, Jacky and Elizabeth sat on the bed in Elizabeth's room, discussing how they were going to get Anna out of the house at midnight.
"It's daring, but it might work," Anna said thoughtfully.
"Climb out the window! Are you two insane?" Jacky exclaimed. Anna grinned and Elizabeth nodded. Jacky just sighed.
On the other hand, Anna got up and looked out the window. Conveniently, a large, ivy covered, trellis ran from Elizabeth's window to the garden below. Or so it seemed. Or so it seemed.
"Are there any windows directly under yours?" she asked.
"Yes, one. It's the kitchen window. But there is usually no one in there after ten o'clock or so."
"Wonderful! The only problem," she looked down at her dress, "is that this thing is not suitable for climbing out of windows."
Elizabeth grinned and went to the closet. When she turned back around, she held a bundle of black.
"What the-" Elizabeth laid the bundle out on the bed and Anna gasped. "Where on earth did you get these?" she asked, picking up the black shirt.
"Will bought them for me. He never told me why, but I'm glad I kept them. Change out of that dress and put them on."
Anna did, and they fit perfectly. She took them off again and put on a shift. Then the girls sat on the bed and waited
The governor came in around ten and bid them goodnight.
He left.
And they waited.
~*~
Alex made his way through town. He was running a bit later than he had planned. It had taken too long to convince his father that he needed to help Will with his newest project. He sighed and quickened his pace. It was nearing midnight, he could tell. The town usually fell silent at midnight.
"Alex?" came a soft voice. Alex jumped and looked around frantically, his hand moving instinctively to his sword, which was not there. Anna came out from behind a building, dressed in black breeched and a shirt.
Alex relaxed and let his hands fall loosely to his sides. He noticed Anna was unarmed as well.
She grabbed his hands and pulled him into the alleyway. He opened his mouth to talk, but she pulled him to her and kissed him, bringing him into the shadows.
Finally, she let him go, breathing a sigh of relief, and looked out into the streets. He followed her gaze and saw nothing. She turned back around and faced him.
"Wh...Why did you kiss me?"
In the dark of the alleyway, he could not seen her face, but from the silence that came from her, he could tell she was blushing.
"The watch was coming by. they were suspicious of me anyway." She made to turn back to the street, but he took her into his arms and kissed her tenderly. When he let her go, she lingered for a moment.
"Well, now that everything's out in the open..." he said slowly.
"Alex, you do know that I am a pirate, just like Jack."
Alex nodded. "The Navy doesn't. We will be safe, Anna. I promise."
Anna nodded and closed her eyes. "We need to get to the shop..." Alex took her hand in his and led her away form the alleyway.
~*~
"Where have you been?" Will asked as Alex and Anna pushed the heavy wooden doors open.
"We had to get around the Navy watches," said Alex. "They have increased since Jack was arrested."
Will nodded. "Anna, did you think of a plan?" he asked. She nodded, then looked about the room.
"Where's Sam?"
"He went back to the ship for something," Gibbs said.
A grin spread across Anna's face. "Good... very good." Alex gave her a questioning look.
The door swung open and Sam stepped in, carrying a large crate. He set it on the ground and kicked it open. The smile on Anna's face widened.
She and Sam bent over the crate and pulled out two red coats, identical to the Navy ones.
"How did you get these?" Alex asked, kneeling next to them.
"Sam and I collect a few odds and ends from each town and ship we raid with Jack. Memories, you could say." She stood and held one up in front of herself. "Think it will fit?"
"What do you mean?" Will asked.
"All right, here's the plan. Sam and I are going to dress in these navy uniforms and hopefully, you and Alex would be willing to dress in these," she pulled out two ornate jackets, "and go along as two merchants we caught stealing from a ship in the harbor."
They all stared at her, dumbfounded, before nodding.
"What 'bout me and Anamaria?" Gibbs asked.
"You will go and find a hiding place for Jack somewhere out in the jungle."
They nodded. "We'll do it fer the captain," Anamaria said firmly.
"Good. Go now. And don't be seen."
