CHAPTER 8

Kim and Cara stood on the deck, watching Jessica plead and beg Jack. They bit back their frustration when they saw Jack's face soften.

"His resolve is failing him Cara. I say that it is time to put our plan into action, wouldn't you?"

"Oh yes."

They walked over to Jack, completely ignoring Jessica, "Jack, we were wondering if you could help us with something." Cara purred.

"What?" Jack asked, still staring at Jessica.

"Well, if you could help us solve this little fight we're having. We both say that we are the better kisser. Maybe you can solve this little problem."

Jack's eyes glistened. "Aye, I think I can help."

"Good. Jessica would you please move so we can solve this little crisis." Cara said, pushing Jessica away from Jack. She walked over to him and kissed him passionately. The kiss continued until they both needed air.

"Okay, Kim's turn." Cara stepped out of the way and Kim took her place. Kim kissed Jack just as passionately as Cara, and again neither party pulled away until they needed air.

"So Jack, who is better?" Kim asked.

"I can't chose, you both are great. Where did ye learn to kiss like that?" Jack asked, looking like an excited puppy.

"That is for us to know and you to find out." Cara said. Her and Kim turned and walked back to their room. Once inside they both nearly fainted.

"Oh my goodness, he can kiss." Cara said exasperated.

"Yeah, but did you see the look on Jessica's face. That was hilarious. Our plan is going to work perfectly, I doubt he is out there thinking about her."

Their door burst open and Jessica came barging in. "You little sluts! How dare you, I know what you are up to and I will not allow it. I will get him back. I can do a lot more to him than you can."

"Want a bet, we'll do anything to keep him away from you." Kim replied.

"You little whores!" Jessica yelled, and then she snapped. She threw herself at Kim and Cara. The girls were able to grab her and hold her while she threw wild punches.

"Jack! We need some help down here!" They yelled.

Jack came flying into the room and stopped dead at what he saw. Jessica's hair was now a mess and she was throwing punches and kicks in every direction. "What the hell is going on in here?"

"What does it look like Jack, she's lost all her marbles. She just came in here and started attacking us." Kim said, grabbing one of Jessica's arms.

"Jessica. Jessica! Jessica, stop it this instant, that is an order!" Jack screamed. Jessica immediately stopped struggling and went limp in Kim and Cara's arms. "I don't agree with what ye are doing Jess. I'm sorry to do this, but you don't attack someone on my ship and you know that. Jessica ye will spend the next few days in the brig."

Cara and Kim turned their heads to hide their smiles. "Jack, no. I swear they started it. Don't you see what they're doing. They're trying to get rid of me so they can have you. Jack, they are the one's betraying you."

"That's not true!" Cara and Kim snapped, turning back to face Jack.

"Jack, remember what the AnnaMaria said about her. Remember what the crew said. She's lying. She's been trying to get rid of us since she met us. She thinks we're a threat to her, that we're trying to take you away from her. It's not true Jack, all we want is to see you happy and unharmed." Cara said.

"That's at least partially true." Kim muttered under her breath.

"AnaMaria! Gibbs!" Jack yelled, and the two crew member came into the room.

"Yes Captain."

"Take Jessica to the brig. She is to stay down there for a few days."

"Aye Captain." They took Jessica, kicking and screaming, out of the room.

"Are you two okay?" Jack asked, concerned.

"Yes, she didn't even hit us once. She really is a bad fighter."

"Aye. I'm sorry for her. I better get back to the helm." He walked out of the room.

"Jessica is going to be more of a problem that we thought. We'll have to watch out for her." Kim told Cara.

"Yeah, but for the next few days she will be locked up. We are going to have Jack all to ourselves, what ever shall we do." Cara said.

"Fun time. The question is, what shall we wear?" Kim asked, faking confusion.
