"So…How have you been Jack?"

"Really good, Bill. How bout you. You're alive."

"But my sons not." Bill said as he lowered his head.

Jack then realized that he didn't know.

"Bill…William a lot has happened this past year. Barbossa is dead, the Pearl is mine, and your son is alive. He's doin well for himself. He has himself a pretty lass too. She's the govna's daughter. He's doin well."

Bill just sat there staring at his drink. "This all happened this year?"

"Last year actually."

"He's happy?"

"As happy as he can be. I haven't seen him since then though."

"Tell me exactly what happened."

Jack then went into the whole story. He told him about saving Elizabeth, meeting Will, escaping jail, and everything else. He didn't make this a tale though. Jack told Bill everything the way it happened.

"You were never going to tell Barbossa about Will, were you?"

"What do you think?"

"I think he was right about saving you…But incredibly stupid."

"Ah…that's the Turner blood though, risking you life for me and doin incredibly stupid stuff. It's amazing really. He is a lot like you, looks and personality."

There was another silence, neither knowing what to say.

"How have you been?"

"As good as I could be I guess."

"How long were you down there?"

"I'm not really sure, 8 years maybe. I was up in England after that. I didn't know what else to do. Then I heard a rumor that you were alive. I only got that you were alive and in the Caribbean. I didn't bother to listen to anything else."

"I'm known up in England?" Jack asked with a small smile.

"I told you. you would be known around the world. Doubting me Jack? I have always been right." Bill joked.

"You haven't always been right." Jack said as he stood. "Come on, we're goin to the Black Pearl and then Port Royal."

"Do you really think we should? I haven't seen him in how long. What if he doesn't want to see me?"

"He came to the Caribbean looking for you after Emily, his mother, died. Whenever you were mentioned he got this look in his eyes. He wants to see you William. Would I lie?"

Bill gave him a 'are you serious' look.

"Would I lie to you?"

Another look

"I'm tellin the truth. Now let's go."

Jack started walking and Bill followed with a little hesitation.

"I was right most of the time. You still be short. I was right about that." Bill joked

"That was cheap, William, very cheap. Besides, you still have no muscle. I was right about that."

"Talk about cheap." Bill muttered.

"There she is mate, the Black Pearl."

Bill looked at it.

"Come on mate. Don't want to leave without ya."

Bill followed Jack up. It was just like he remembered. The sails looked perfect, the deck was clean, and Jack looked as proud as ever standing on it.
