Jack burst inside to find the doctor just putting his things back in his valise. The pirate captain rushed to his sister's bedside.

James regained some of his composure and questioned the doctor of Josephine's condition.

"It is fortunately not as bad as I had feared and she should be well in two days time, but, only if she is taken out of this environment. One cannot expect her to recover in these dirty conditions.

"Well, I know my office isn't the cleanest but—"

"You must take her to the nearest, neatest house you can find."

"But, that would be my home."

"Then she shall stay there."

Before Norrington could say anything else the doctor scuttled out of the office, closing the door behind him.

Silence lay on the room.

"So, she'll be stayin' at your place, eh, Commodore?"

James sighed. "So it seems."

"Well, then, I guess I'll bunkin' with you."

"Excuse me?"

"I'm not stayin' 'ere in jail when my sister needs me."

"How long has it been since you've seen her?"

"Long enough . . . alright, two years."

"Why the long separation?"

"You try stayin' in contact with someone while on the run."
