Tales of a Pirate: Chapter Three: You Blab Too Much

"How much longer till we reach the island?" Jack asked Mr. Gibbs with a roll of his eyes.

"About a few more days, my guess," Gibbs replied.

"Oh, bloody hell," Jack cursed, smacking his fist into the wooden frame of the ship. "Can we just dump her over the edge of the ship and go about our business?"

"Ah, come now, Jack," Gibbs said, a grin on his dirty mouth. "You are getting annoyed with a woman, are ye?"

"She's not so much of a woman, Mr. Gibbs," Jack countered. "More like a hungry puppy that won't leave me the bloody hell alone!"

"She's after something, Jack. Best give it to her, and she might leave you alone."

"Yeah, but what she's asking for I'm not giving up!"

Mr. Gibbs frowned, "What is it exactly that she's a asking for?"

Jack grinned, "Do you want to know?"

Mr. Gibbs nodded.

"Do you really want to know?" Jack asked.

He nodded again, leaning in closer.

Jack waved his finger for him to come closer, his eyes darting around the deck as if someone might be watching. Gibbs leaned in closer.

"If you wish to know, I'd have to kill you afterwards," Jack whispered. "Are you sure you want to know."

Gibbs leaned back, disappointment in his face. "Aye, you made yer point."

"I supposed I did, didn't I?" Jack said, standing up and walking away briskly. Dark gray clouds hung in the air. The waves of the ocean hitting against the ship grew stronger, smashing and banging like a crazed lion in a cage. Jack looked up at the sky, the sun being covered by the dark clouds. "Storm's coming," he commented silently.

"That doesn't sound good."

Jack moaned, rolling his eyes as he turned to see Kiley standing behind him. "What do you want?" He demanded.

She shrugged, "I dunno. I was just walking about the ship, and I saw you walking alone. So, I thought I'd join you."

"Ah, isn't that sweet?" Jack asked dryly. "Okay, you joined me. You can go now."

She laughed, "Nah, I think I'll stay for a little while longer."

Jack groaned, and walked past her, but she simply followed him. "Prepare for a storm!" He shouted to the crew, and they began to make the preparations.

"I think you're hiding something, Jack!" Kiley shouted after him. "And I won't rest until you confess what it is!"

He turned around, "All right. You want to know?"

She smiled, "Yes."

"I'm hiding a gun under my jacket right now, wanna see?"

She frowned, "No. And that's not what I meant!"

He shrugged, "You said I was hiding something, and you're right. I was! It just turned out to be different than you thought."

She rolled her eyes, "I'm not talking about an object!"

"Oh well, what do you know! Well, too bad for you, that's what I'm talking about!" He turned quickly, walking away from her and praying that she got the hint that he ended the topic.

She didn't. She followed after him, "Jack, you knew what I was talking about from the beginning. Why won't you just tell me?"

"Ever hear of the Code of Silence?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"It's the Code of Silence that I not tell anyone!"

"You just made that up!"

"It fits, doesn't it?"

She screamed, "Jack, you are by far the biggest jerk, lowlife, down right ignorant pirate there ever was!"

He gave a slight bow, "Thank you, I try."

She wanted to scream, tried to scream, but didn't. "Humph," she snorted, turned on her heel and walking away.

She didn't get far. Thunder and lightening took over the sky. Rain fell from the sky, pouring over their heads like milk into a cup. The ship swayed back and forth, back and forth. Kiley fell on the floor, and the ship swayed right, crashing her into the edge of the ship. She had crashed into something, and heard a loud groan from behind her.

Two arms gripped her shoulders, pushing her up a little bit. "You weigh a bloody ton!" Jack commented, spitting out bits of her hair from his mouth. "And your hair taste nasty!"

She opened her mouth to speak, but was thrust forward as the ship swayed again, bringing her and Jack to the other side of the ship. This time she got the taste of his hair, and his body crashed up against hers. She pushed herself against the edge of the ship, knocking Jack onto the ground a few feet away.

Kiley stood, her eyes glaring at him like fire on ice. "You think you can be nice for just one moment?" She screamed.

"I tried, I hated it!" He shouted back, his eyes glaring back at her.

"How can you hate being nice?"

"It's just not me!"

"You were nice to my parents!"

"Only because they didn't kill me!"

"I'm not killing you! Why can't you be nice to me?"

"You can't kill anything if you wanted to!"

She opened her mouth to speak, but before a word could come out, a wave from the ocean swept up on the deck, washing over her. She screamed, her arm the only part of her body that was out of the water. Jack rushed over before he could think, but the wave had already washed over the edge of the ship, carrying Kiley with it.

Jack slammed into the edge, reaching his arm over to catch Kiley's hand. She hung in the air, her limp body banging into the ship each time it moved. Jack gripped her hand tightly, feeling it slip through his fingers. He turned his head to see if anyone was in earshot. "Hey! Help over here!"

Gibbs heard him, and came rushing over, looking over the edge and gasped. He turned around, searching frantically for rope. Jack slapped his back, "It's too late for that!" He yelled over the storm. "Just help me pull her up!"

Gibbs joined Jack's side, grabbing his arm and Jack grabbed onto Kiley's hand with his other hand. Gibbs used his other hand to steady them on the ship, and together they pulled. Kiley's hand slipped a little bit, but Jack just held onto her tighter. The rain kept on pouring on his face, blurring his vision. Through his hair and water, he could see Kiley's eyes shut, her face pale, and her other arm bleeding.

They had pulled her up, and Jack now grabbed onto her shoulder, and Gibbs pulled up her waist. Together they pulled her over the edge, and laid her down on the ground, rain splashing on her face. Jack knelt down, pressing his head against her chest to hear for a heartbeat. He didn't hear anything, and unbuttoned her jacket.

With wide eyes and a blushing face he quickly shut it. "Why in the world isn't she wearing a corset?" he demanded, feeling embarrassed. He searching around, wondering why she wasn't breathing. Her clothes weren't too tight on her chest, she could breathe if she wanted to... but why wasn't she?

"You gotta blow air into her, Jack!" Gibbs shouted, as if reading Jack's mind.

Jack glanced at Gibbs. "Why can't you?"

"I don't know how!"

Jack rolled his eyes, "Some pirate you are!" With a deep breath, Jack pressed his fingers together against her small nose, and used his other hand to open her mouth. He made a face, and brought his lips down, blowing air into her lungs. He was completely focused on blowing air into her mouth that he didn't notice her eyes open after the fourth time. When he brought his lips down, he ended up with a smack.

"What the heck!" She screamed, pushing him back forcefully. She looked down, seeing her shirt unbuttoned. When she looked up at him, her eyes sparkled with fire. "How dare you!"

Jack nodded, standing up. "Yeah, how dare I?" The rain had slowed, and the ship had stopped its sickening rocking. Jack wiped his face with the back of his hand, dropping the sweat and water onto the ground. "You know," he said, pointing down to Kiley. "You might want to warn people that you are naturally skinny and you don't wear a corset. Might come in handy some day."

"Well, I didn't think I would have to," she countered. "Maybe it would just be nice to meet a man who has respect for a woman's body!"

Jack grinned, "I have respect, love. That's why I covered you back up at the first sight of ya."

She snickered, "Then I don't know whether to be flattered or insulted!"

"I'd say a little bit of both," Jack answered for her, stepping past her. "Now if you don't mind, I have some things to check up on."

"Jerk!" Kiley shouted back at him.

He turned around, looking just as calm as ever. "You know, you blab too much." With a wave from the tip of his hat, Jack turned around again, walking across the deck to check up on the damages.
