DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!
"We should split up, cover more ground that way." Jack suggested as he Will, Elizabeth, Laura, William, and Adam stood at the docks. "William and Adam try listening around the taverns. Will, Elizabeth try the shops, the blacksmith usually has some good stories. Laura I want you to accompany me, I have my own contacts I want to speak with."
"Jack, are you sure you want to take Laura with you?" Will asked him.
"Dad, I am not a little girl! I can protect Jack…" Laura said a wicked smile forming.
"Listen here child I need no one's protection…now let's go…" Jack and Laura then began to walk into the city. Laura never cared for Tortuga, she thought it was a lot of hokum, just silly. Laura was a smart child and knew Jack asked her to come with him for a reason, and that was probably try and find out what was going on between his son and Eve.
"Laura I have to ask you something…" Laura then looked at him, he looked concerned, like a father would be, like her father looked a few nights ago when he asked the same question about Eve.
"Sure Jack."
"What is Jon's intentions with Eve?" That question caught Laura off guard, she didn't think it would be accusing.
"Jack, he's your son."
"That he is but he is a younger version of myself. And who better to know myself than myself right?"
"Jack I don't think you understand."
"Laura he is my son, but I've always thought of you, Eve, and William as my own. If he is going to play games with her, I'd…I don't know what I'd do to him."
"Luckily you don't have to make that type of decision. Jack, your son is a good man, and he cares about Eve, and Eve cares about him, that much I can tell you. I wouldn't worry about Jon and Eve, I like him, and I am a great judge of character." Laura said happily.
"Are you sure?" Jack asked.
"Yes." The walked further without another word, until Jack stopped her and directed her into a small building.
"Jack Sparrow!" An old man greeted him with a hearty handshake. Laura looked at the man and thought she knew him. "Who is this lovely lass?" He asked.
"I can't believe you don't recognize her! Laura Turner…"
"Will's little girl?" The man was in awe.
"Pardon me, but who are you?" Laura asked annoyed that she was left out of the conversation.
"Feisty, like her mother. You were very young when I left Jack's ship…"
"Gibbs?" Laura asked a bit surprised. When he nodded Laura gave him a hug. Gibbs had aged terribly, his hair was white, he had put on weight, and he had the shakes.
"I assume I know why you're here…" Gibbs said as he sat down.
"Have you heard?" Jack asked.
"It's all over the Caribbean. How the Turner daughter made a fool of the Commodore, and now she is a prisoner with Jack Sparrow's son." He started to pour three glasses of rum. Laura reached for hers and Jack pushed it away, causing her to frown at him.
"What have you heard?" Jack asked.
"He is taking them to Jamestown. Heard his brother has a farm or something to that extent, he wants to keep moving them, so no one may find them."
"Why not just take them to London?" Laura asked.
"No family in London. All of his family jumped on the first opportunity to the colonies, open land, and plenty of it. My suggestion to you Jack is to get there as fast as possible, otherwise you may never see them again." Jack then got up and shook Gibbs's hand.
"Thank you."
"Just see you get them where they belong." Gibbs shouted as they ran out of the building and down to the docks.
"Did you find anything out?" Elizabeth asked.
"Jamestown, we are headed to Jamestown."

"Lock them in." Covington ordered Gillette. "We will be back in a few days, if I find one of them gets away you will take their place in the brig, do you understand?"
"Yes sir." Covington and the rest of the marines left Gillette alone with Eve and Jon who were tied together and locked in a stable.
Once the coast was clear, an hour later Gillette opened the door to the stable. "Give it another hour and you may go." Gillette bent down untied them and took out the cloth that kept them from speaking.
"Thank you." Eve said as she stood up and rubbed her wrists. "How do we get out of here?"
"That's up to you, I have helped you as mush as I can. I'll give suggestions."
"We understand." Jon then took Eve by the hand and took her outside. The sun was bright and the temperature was scorching.
"My body is aching me…" Eve said as she stretched. "…and don't get any idea's." She said as she caught Jon looking at her in a devious way.
"Wouldn't dream of it." He smiled as he stretched himself.
"I have a bag here for you…food, water, and a compass, and a few bandages." Gillette then threw the bag at them. "Head west for a good hour…then north until night, you should come to a river, rest and spend the next day heading north, follow the river, you should be far enough away so you can make your escape at the next port, the third day go east till you see the ocean."
"What about you?" Eve asked.
"I'm headed south, away from all of this." He then picked up a bag of his own. "Good luck!" He waved them off, and they watched until the thick grass covered him completely and he could no longer be seen.
(A/N) Yay Gillette!
