Jack is pacing back and forth, hoping the boy would hurry and give Bill the message to meet him here. He has a few things to say to his former shipmate.
Like how he had buggered Bill's son, how he now loves said son. Or y'know how he has lost that same boy.
No, not boy, man. Yes, Will is definitely a man now. He saw that man as he went through trails no one should have to face. He saw the boy Will used to be when Bootstrap brought Jack to his house in London a few years ago. 'Okay,' he admits to himself, 'maybe more than a few.'
That boy sure has grown up in those years. With his father dead, mother dead, and working as a blacksmith's apprentice he had be forced to grow up quickly.
That was Will's life. Not to mention that whole Aztec gold fiasco. Jack had wanted the young man from the first time he had seen him. But he always had that bonnie-lass, that Elizabeth. Not that she's all that bad, but she had burnt the rum.
But then she and some sailor (he'd never cared to learn his name) had gotten married. He'd never contemplated what it would mean to Will when she got married, all he'd been thinking of was that Will was able to be courted again. And court him he did, right onto the Pearl.
They had been inseparable after that. Until recently, that is.
Jack cut his musings short as the boy came skittering out of the hall that led to the rooms. He could see that Bill had paid the boy also. That boy was going to be happy tonight!
He sees the youngster look over the room obviously searching for some one. Jack deciding to give him a little help raises his hand slightly. The child seemingly relieved, smiled a bright flash of teeth, and scampered over.
"'E says you're gonna 'ave compn'y." The boy declares, proudly.
"Really? What does the mysterious 'compn'y' look like?" Jack asks, heart suddenly pounding.
"A man wif shoulder length ligh' brown hair, an' ligh' brown eyes."
Jack couldn't guess another person it could be, except for one person."Will!"
