Chapter 2
"There's someone here to see you, Cap'in Sparrow," an old bar tender whispered into Jack's ear. He was thinking of what Wil had told him. Jack had to admit that he was a little nervous about the hanging the next morning, but he didn't really believe that his mutinous crew would be able to escape. Due to multiple problems, the hanging had been moved further and further. It had already been a year and a half when word from England came. It stated that the hanging would have to be put off a further six months for when Commodore Lorington had visited his sister in London, he had caught a bad case of influenza. Fortunately, he had recovered and had planned the hanging. Though the old crew of the Black Pearl had not tried to escape before, they may try to escape the day of their hanging. No, Jack could not see anyone with such thoughts on his mind.
"Tell him that I can not see him today or tomorrow for that matter," Jack told the bartender.
"It's a she, Cap'in," was the reply.
"Well, why didn't you tell me in the first place?!" Jack asked, "I am always happy to see a lady, savvy?"
"I don't know if you want to see this one," the man muttered as he walked off. He returned shortly with a young girl who appeared to be only thirteen.
"'allo, what can I do for you mate?" Jack asked the girl when the man had left.
"I'm in awful trouble and I was hoping that you could help me," she responded, sadly.
"Why don't you sit on Uncle Jack's lap and tell him all about it?" Jack suggested. No sooner had the lass' weight been laid on Jack's lap and his arms start to slide around her waist than Jack felt cool metal under his chin by his throat.
"Don't scream or my dagger will be through you neck faster that you can say savvy."
