(A/N) Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!
"I can't believe it!" Laura said once Jack finished telling the story. "He wants the diamond, and thinks Eve knows where it is."
"That or knows how to get it."
"And he is going to question us? William would have a better grasp not me." Jack then raised his eyebrows. "William too? Emily, and Henry, he is going to take them all? What about our parents?"
"He figures your parents would never give up Eve, so he figured he try her siblings."
"What an idiot…" Jacob mumbled to himself. There was a commotion up on deck…they had found William. William along with Emily, who was holding Henry, were marched in and put in the cell with Jack, Laura, and Jacob.
"Fancy seeing the three of you here." William said as the cell shut behind him.
"How did he find you so fast?" Laura asked.
"I wasn't far behind you. I wanted to speak with you." William sat down across from Laura, Jack, and Jacob. Emily and Henry sat next to William.
"About?"
"Nothing important…not like this." William said with his hands in the air.
"What's going on?" Emily asked.
"Nothing to do with us, it's about Eve." Jack answered.
"Why doesn't that surprise me? The problem child…" William said, a small smile forming. Jack then explained.
"What does he plan on doing? None of us know, none of us would tell." Emily said.
"Threatening." Jacob answered her. Emily then held Henry a bit closer to her.
"Nothing will happen to your lad, I assure you." Jack said. Loud footsteps were heard coming towards them.
Captain Douglas Payne stepped towards the cell. "Isn't this sweet? A family reunion." He then scanned the cells. "The best pirates in the Caribbean…so easy to pick up…how strange. But really not the best…your sister has the reputation, as does her husband. Now do any of you care to tell me where she is?" None of them said a word. "Alright. Loyalty…I understand that. How far does your loyalty go?" Still not a sound. "Would you die? William would you watch your son die before telling me where your sister may be found?"
"None of us are going to say anything, so give it up." Jacob grumbled.
"I beg to differ." Payne then nodded to a pirate and he went inside the cell, he scanned their faces and came upon a young, innocent face. Reaching forward he grabbed Henry from Emily's grasp. William, Jack, and Jacob jumped up but to no avail, three pirates went into the cell and subdued the three.
Payne pulled out his pistol, held the boy tight to his hip, and held the pistol at his head. "Care to tell? Or do I have to find out how many bullets it would take to kill him?" Emily shook with fear, that was her son, their son, she couldn't…she wouldn't. Payne then cocked the pistol. "No?"
"Wait!" Emily screamed. Everyone looked at her, not wanting her to utter a word, but understood.
"Yes?" Henry was crying out hysterically.
"Nassau and Tortuga. In Nassau they own a home, in Tortuga they have business dealings." Payne then let the boy scamper back to his mother.
"Jack, we were so close. So close…" He was muttering to himself. "They can't be in Nassau, there is nothing left there, we left nothing…Tortuga…Tortuga…" He then quickly went back upstairs leaving them.
William immediately wrapped Emily and Henry in his arms. "He's crazy." William said.
"That he is." Jack said.
XXXXXXX
Eve walked into the Tavern alone. Jon stood outside, peering in occasionally keeping his eye on her. In order to get information in Tortuga, one would have to appear to be easy to talk to, and men were more willing to talk to Eve than Jon. Eve took a seat and waited, someone would pay attention to her. It wasn't long before someone came across her and sat down across from her.
"What is a pretty girl like you doing here?" He was big and ugly, that's all Eve could figure from all of that facial hair.
"Wanting to talk to you." Eve then gave him a smile.
"About what?"
"Oh nothing. Just normal gossip, haven't been in town lately."
"So you haven't heard?" He leaned in with interest, somewhat eager to tell her the major gossip.
"No."
"The Black Pearl…is no longer."
"What?" Eve was utterly shocked.
"Captain Douglas Payne, sank her, took Sparrow himself, and now is looking for his boy and wife."
"Do you know why?"
"He was in here a few weeks ago, strange fellow, says the girl has information about a diamond. Wants her to find it for him." Eve lowered her eyes in thought. She then gave Jon the signal to come in and get her, she lowered her hand to her side and pulled up her boots.
"Where the hell have you been!" Jon shouted as he grabbed Eve by the arm. "I told you, I don't want you working in here! You belong on the docks with the rest of them!"
"So hard being a working girl…" Eve winked to the man as Jon led her away.
"So what did you find out?" Jon asked when he knew no one would hear them. Eve then told Jon everything he told her. "He's looking for you. That means he's coming here."
"Then we'll wait. No one knows our ship, so we'll watch for his ship, and get Jack out."
"Sounds like a plan." Jon then wrapped his arm around Eve's waist and started walking back to their ship. "Is that your parents ship?" Eve looked in the direction Jon was pointing.
"It is." They then started in that direction, they needed all the help they could get.
(a/n) Alrighty, just to be clear, this installment has two big stories, so really it is split up into two...so think of this as just the first...and BTW, don't think to much about...okay...i can't say, I would be giving too much away...hehe...i am evil!
