Chapter 7: Parents to the Rescue and a Wound Healed
Mur, Mercedes, and Jaimy quickly swung back to their ship and were underway before Matt's crew could regain their bearings. (They were all of them stunned at Mercedes' terrific swordplay.) Matt just stared open mouthed as he watched the ship sail away, what was he going to do? His one true love had escaped from him with another man! He couldn't have that; Mercedes really loved him, even if she didn't know it yet!
Matt turned to face his crew.
"Well? What are you all waiting for!" barked Matt. "Get after them! Let's go! Time's a wasting!" As he yelled at his crew they sprung into action, jumping into the rigging and making sail. The other ship was a solid half hour ahead.
Matt turned back to the departing ship. Now he thought I need a plan…
Meanwhile, I think it's time we went back to the worried parents.
Commodore called the maid, Stephanie into the lounge and asked her to bring him a glass of water. When she walked back into the room with Commodore's water, she spotted William Turner.
"You!" Steph exclaimed, wide eyed. She dropped the glass of water all over the commodore. "It's you! Will you give me a hug?" she asked Will breathlessly.
Will looked puzzledly (hmm is that even a word? I dunno but it sounded good, and if not awesome! I just made up a word.) back at Steph.
"I'm married," Will began, "and I have a child."
"Ohh sure! You wouldn't hug me in the first story and now you still won't give me one!" Stormed Steph and she turned on her heel and stomped out of the room, slamming the door behind her, leaving Will looking frightened, Jack amused and the Commodore sopping.
"That was interesting," said Jack looking at the closed door through which the raging Stephanie had just departed. "What was she talking about, mate?" asked Jack looking back at Will. "Not one o' those wenches you met when we went to Tortuga was it?"
"Not that I remember…" started Will, "You can never mention that to anyone!" said Will quickly turning to Commodore.
"I'll try, but if it happens to come up in a casual conversation with your wife, then so be it." Said the commodore, smirking.
"You wouldn't dare…" started Will, glaring at Commodore Norington.
"Ohh…I would!" he fired back
"Not if I threaten to tell your wife about that time when you…"
"ANYWAY!" interrupted the Commodore loudly before Will could finish his sentence. "We're going to find the children," said Norington pompously.
"Right, " said Jack enthusiastically, smiling and clapping his hands together, "let's be off then." And he looked around the room at Commodore.
"We don't need your help," retorted Commodore Norington, scrunching his nose in disgust.
"But I have two children out there also! AND need I mention again that it is MY daughter that was kidnapped! I have a…"
"Take this man to prison so he cannot interfere with this rescue mission as he would, most likely, screw it up." Said Commodore. At his words two hefty guards came tramping into the room, grabbed Jack by the upper arms and started to drag him out of the house en route to jail.
"Come along Will, let us go and find our children."
"Uh, listen Norington; I really think that Jack should come. I mean, well, his two children are out there and…"
"Do you want to come or not?" asked Commodore, trying to raise an eyebrow to look persuasive and failing. Will just sighed and followed Commodore out of the house and to the docks.
As Will and Commodore Norington were heading toward the docks they passed Jack and his two guards. Will lagged behind a bit and fell into step with the guards. He accidentally stuck his foot in the bigger of the two huge guards path and kept walking. The guard tripped over Will's foot and let Jack's arm go as he fell, but he couldn't catch himself in time and was knocked unconscious by the fall. The other guard stopped with Jack and looked at his fallen comrade. While he was distracted, Jack hit him in the back of the head with his gun handle, effectively knocking him out also. Jack quickly snuck into the shadows and followed Will and Commodore Norington to the ship. Will and Commodore Norington boarded the ship and went into Norington's cabin to set a likely course while the rest of the crew took the ship out into open water.
While those two were busy Jack ran out from the shadows. He sprinted the length of the dock and jumped toward the departing ship, hoping to reach it. For a second it looked like he was going to make it…but the wind suddenly picked up and moved the ship swiftly forward. So instead Jack does a graceful and quite showy dive into the water. The anchor was still being hoisted up from the water so Jack swam fast toward it and grabbed on. It pulled him up to the ship and he grabbed a rope that was hanging over the side and pulled himself to a near-by window.
Jack pushed on the window and it silently opened. He peered cautiously inside and then climbed, cat like, through it. It was a storage room filled with all supply boxes. Jack's foot caught on the window ledge and he tripped in a very Jack-like fashion, fell into some boxes causing them to completely topple over which, in turn caused a whole bunch of noise that was sure to attract attention.
Jack quickly stood up, cast a furtive glance at the door, which was open, and then hid behind it.
Sure enough it wasn't long before someone came to investigate the noise. It was a girl, Buddi, who was employed on the ship as part of the security. She walked cautiously through the door and looked slowly around to see if anyone or thing was in there. She slowly walked deeper into the room. The door slammed behind her and she whipped around, holding up the lantern that she had brought with her. What she saw was Jack Sparrow leaning casually against the closed door.
"Umm," started Buddi, "I really don't think you're supposed to be in here." She looked closer at Jack. "Hey! You're that…Jack Sparrow. Didn't the Commodore send you to jail? How are you here?"
"Darling," started Jack, "I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, Savvy?" And he winked at her.
She made a little squeak as then started gushing, "OHH! I just have to say. You are with out a doubt the BEST pirate around! I don't care what Commodore says about you! I mean, really, you always get the better of him and," Buddi stopped talking and looked down because she felt something going around her ankles. Jack had tied her wrists and ankles while she was babbling away.
Buddi sighed, "I am like the worst guard! This always happens!"
Jack gave her a pitying look. "Ok darling, listen up. I'll untie you if, IF, you keep your trap shut about my being on the ship. Got it?" he added, threateningly.
Buddi shrugged her shoulders, "Ok, sounds fair." Buddi replied smiling a complacent smile.
Jack turned to leave but then turned back to Buddi. "And one more thing, sweet cheeks," said Jack walking closer to Buddi. "If you tell the Commodore I'm here, you're going overboard. Get it?"
Buddi gulped, "got it."
"Good, no worries then." Said Jack smiling as he bent down and undid Buddi's bonds. "Off you get. And remember our little agreement." Said Jack as he pushed Buddi gently toward the door.
Meanwhile Carrissa's ship had sailed into a hidden cove. Mercedes went and said hello to Carrissa who was cowering in her room. (She really hated the noise of the battle, nor did she like violence, or sailing, or salt water…). Anyway, Mercedes went and got some bandages to wrap her hand with. Then she went to the room that she would be staying in for the rest of the journey and tried to bind her hand.
Forty-five minutes later, Mercedes let out a scream of frustration and slammed the bandages down on the floor. She just couldn't wrap her hand up in the bandage one handed. She took in a deep breath and looked up. Jaimy was leaning against the doorframe. (and looking quite sexy if I do say so my self.)
"Mer, do you need any help?" asked Jaimy seriously.
"Oh NO, Jaimy," came Mercedes' voice, thick with sarcasm, she was staring at her hand again. Her brow furrowed with concentration, her face turning a deeper shade of red every second. "I'm doing JUST FINE by my self!"
"Well," said Jaimy thoughtfully, "it looks to me like you might need some help."
And he walked over to where Mercedes was sitting, sat down and pulled the bandages and her hand gently toward him. Jaimy began to softly wrap Mercedes' hand while she calmed down.
"Thank you," said Mercedes quietly, her frustration ebbing away. She watched Jaimy's face as he mended her hand; there was love and care in his face.
Jaimy leaned a little closer so he could see the knot he was tying in the fading light. Jaimy pulled the strips of fabric tight, a little too tight, and inhaled sharply, pulled her hand (and Jaimy) closer to her and looked up, right into Jaimy's lovely chocolate brown eyes.
"I'm sorry," whispered Jaimy, pulling Mercedes' hand closer to his chest and gently rubbing her hand with his thumb.
They both leaned slowly forward for a kiss. And then…
And Then… Then WHAT! And then Matt came and gave Mercedes a million dollars… her own spaceship? WHAT! Ah the suspense! Hee hee I really like being evil. Ok review and tell me to hurry with the next chapter so you can all sleep at night… lol. Until then, keep a sharp eye. ;)
