Chapter 6: Have You Not Heard the Stories?
With a mix of confusion, hope, and utter bewilderment, Juliet accepted Jack's hand, but narrowed her eyes.
"What's the catch, Sparrow?" she asked as his fingers closed around her palm. "Where's the profit in it for you?" Jack grinned mysteriously, and winked before responding.
"Why do you always assume there's a catch, luv?" he questioned sarcastically. "But if you must know, I DO see a profit in it for me. One that I cannot reveal at the moment."
"Fine," she countered, recoiling her hand and standing on her own. "Well, if this has been decided, I suppose I need to pack my things. And I have some things to take care of, Jack. I'll meet you back here in two hours." She briskly walked to the door, promptly opened it and practically flew down the stairs. Jack tailed her, barely able to match her pace. She had reached the front door of the house and was about to leave when he called to her.
"What things?" Jack asked, staring down at Juliet from the steps. His hands tightly grasped the railing and his brow quite furrowed. Juliet smirked, knowing that he was attempting to appear calm, yet was quite aggravated that she had this sudden control.
Juliet smiled and winked, perfectly imitating Jack's arrogant gestures. Her fingers were laced around the doorknob and she turned it, opening the door just enough to let a cold wind blow slide through and shoot at Jack.
"Things that I cannot reveal at the moment." And with that, she descended the steps and was out of sight.
..........................
"WILLIAAAAAM!! WILL!!" Jack stood in the middle of the foyer, his hands entangled in his mass of black hair and beads, and his eyes tightly shut. His expression was rather pained as he opened his eyes and looked towards the door Juliet had just walked out of. Should I go after her? he pondered to himself.
Jack had absolutely no idea where Juliet was off to, seeing as how he didn't know where she made her residence, yet somehow he sensed that she had nothing to pack, and all she would be doing was seeing to her "things." Things which he was certain were quite sinister in nature. Not that he was overcautious with Juliet, just overprotective.
Will rushed downstairs hearing Jack's distressed calls, half expecting to find him with a sword stuck through him. When he set eyes on Jack, his eyebrows shot up and a small laugh escaped him.
"Jack, what's wrong?" Will asked, attempting to conceal his laughter. He had never seen Jack in any other state than his usual I'm-Captain-Jack- Sparrow-savvy? persona. Jack turned to Will, giving him a completely exasperated glare.
"She's gone, mate. I don't know where she's run off to."
"What do you mean she's gone? What did you say to her?" Will quickly sat down near the fireplace and pulled up an extra chair. Jack shook his head, declining the offer of a seat, and began to pace the length of the small living room while Will looked on, confused.
Jack told him about the entire conversation between himself and Juliet, up to her vague excuse and her exiting the house. Will had leaned his elbow on the arm of the chair, resting his chin in his hand. His gaze was cast towards the floor and he was silent for a moment, but then he spoke up.
"To tell you the truth, Jack, I don't see what the problem is. She said she had to pack, which is perfectly understandable, and that she had some things to see to. She's not an idiot, Jack, she can take care of herself."
"Ah, young William, there's a flaw, no, make that many flaws in your thinking. Firstly, she IS a bloody idiot and she CAN'T take care of herself! Did said lady not show us that tonight?" Jack pivoted on his heel as he reached one end of the room and began back towards the other.
"My problem is that it's not safe for her to be here. As soon as Conway comes to, he'll be looking for the both of us, not to mention looking for the Pearl!" At this comment, Will's head rose from his palm.
"Why would he be concerned with your ship?"
Jack looked at Will as if he had three heads, and on top of that was also the most uninformed person he had ever come across.
"Really, Will," he remarked, inclining his head, "have you not heard the stories?"
