Chapter 18

It had been many days since they had left shore. They were finally at another port, Tortuga. Tortuga wasn't really a port, but they were going to stop, anyway. Emma was glad to get off the ship. Not because Priscilla was being a flirting fool, but because she wanted to get away from everyone. She could visit Donald and get a well earned break.

Late that afternoon, they had arrived in Tortuga. Emma slowly got off the boat. Priscilla was going on with her helpless act. How she could not get down from the boat and how scared she was. Slowly, Jack helped the "Damsel in Distress" off the boat.

Emma rolled her eyes in disgust. Does she ever get tired of that act?

Jack came over to Emma.

"So, luv, what are ye planning on doing for the day?"

"Probably going to visit my old boss, or sleep all day on the ship."

"Really, by any chance I can join ye in a way?"

Emma smiled.

"If you like. But aren't you damsel-sitting princess Priscilla?"

Jack glanced in Priscilla's direction.

"I think she can stay with Henri. It would do her good. Now, where to?"

Emma smiled, again.

"Alright, let's go to the Purple Star. That's were I worked awhile ago. I'll get us some food and a bit of rum for you."

"Good. Let's go."

Jack offered his arm, and she took it. Just as she had grabbed his arm, Will shouted "Hey isn't that the Pearl?"

Heads turned. Sure enough, there was the Black Pearl.

"Guess, it will have to wait, aye?"

Emma nodded, and let go of Jack's arm, a bit disappointed. The group headed towards the Pearl. They hid behind crates and barrels of supplies, that sat on the dock.

"So how do you figure this one, Jack? Got a plan?"

"No idea, Henri. I'm working on it."

Jack sat, with his back to a crate. He messaged his temples, trying to think of something. Then jumped up.

"I got it! Here's what to do..."

He quickly explained the plan. Emma shuddered. This was not the plan for her.

A few moments later, Emma was wearing one of Elizabeth's dresses. She quietly climbed aboard The Black Pearl, watching for guards. Only one guard, in front of the door leading below. This is going to be a cinch. Emma thought.

In a flirting manner she walked over to the guard. He smiled in her direction.

"Can I 'elp ye, poppet?"

Emma batted her eyelashes.

"Yes. I'm looking for a man of intelligence to join me tonight. I could use a bit of company..."

The guard's grin grew wider.

"If yer suggestin' poppet, I will."

Emma started slinking off. The guard followed close behind. She made her way behind the barrels and crates. The guard stupidly followed behind her. Before he could do anything, he was on the ground unconscious. Jack and Henri had hit the guy over the head with a large wine bottle.

"Ye alright, luv?"

"Fine."

Jack nodded and smiled. The rescue mission was about to begin. The rest of the group joined them and the boarded the Black Pearl.

Priscilla laid her head on Jack's shoulder, as if she was afraid. Emma rolled her eyes. This was getting tiresome.

As they got down the stairs of the Pearl, yelling rang out. It was the Pearl's crew. They were all in cells. AnnaMaria and Alison were separated from the male members of the crew. Jack looked into the cells. Someone was missing. Gibbs!

"Ana, where be Gibbs?"

"Your quarters. They keep him in thereto get information out of him. Thy wouldn't believe him when he said he knew nothing, so they whipped him." said AnnaMaria

A tear fell from Emma's eye. She didn't know Gibbs well, but she couldn't believe they would whip an old man.

"Alright, men, and women, Emma and Priscilla will pick the locks, the rest of us will go find Gibbs. After you are released prepare to cast off. Now off with ye!"

Jack led the group out of the room, and headed for his cabin.
