Chapter 3
I shouldn't have done that. He deserves to know. He's just like you William. He asks the right questions and won't stop until he gets the answers. I wonder if he will come after me. You would. You wouldn't let me get far. God this is hard. I thought I got over your death years ago.
Jack was walking to another bar as these thoughts were running through his mind. This bar had every depressed pirate in Tortuga. Nobody bothered anybody. When he got there he got some rum and headed to the back of the seedy bar.
Why is this so hard?
He was the one who saved you. He was your best friend.
Great now I'm answering myself. Maybe I should go find Will.
With that Jack got up and left the bar.
Will walked into the faithful bride looking for Jack. Part of him knew he wouldn't be there, but it was worth a try.
"Will!"
"Oh hello, Mr. Gibbs."
"Where's Jack. I wouldn't think he would let you walk around here by yourself."
"I guess you I was asking him things he didn't want to be asked."
"What did you ask him about?"
"My father."
Gibbs face turned from questioning to sympathetic.
"That's a touchy subject for the captain, young Turner."
"Why"
"Because…because your father was Jacks only friend."
Will decided to try his question again.
"How long were they friends?"
"I'm not sure. I've only gotten parts of Jack's life." Gibbs felt for the boy. He deserved to know about his father. He also knew that it would be hard for Jack. "Wi…"
He didn't get to finish because Jack came from out of nowhere and said, "Thank you Mr. Gibbs, but Mr. Turner and I will be on the Pearl." And with that Jack walked out of the bar.
Will gave a nod the Gibbs and then followed Jack.
