Chapter Nine: Part-ay Over Here!

Jack led the crew around the back of the house and they began to walk past the lagoon and through slightly marshy woods. Usually a walk wouldn't faze Will, but this was just so creepy. The trees were close together and the pitch black seemed to smother him; all he could hear was the crunching of leaves beneath his feet and the heavy breathing of the smelly, rugged Pirates. Will's nose had begun to run from the cold before they finally slowed down at a clearing in the trees. He could automatically sense that this clearing was of importance. A foggy mist surrounded it and the area was so silent- in the rest of the woods, owls and wild animals could be heard, but not here. Even the men seemed to have stopped breathing.

Will didn't understand. All he saw was a barn garage looking thing- it was nothing spectacular. Soon he would see, though. Soon he would see that looks could be deceiving. The crew stood still as their captain walked ahead and did some stuff to the wall of it. Some sort of entrance code, maybe? Will thought as they began to walk over after the steel door started to slowly raise itself open. His breath caught in his throat as the ceiling lights flipped on one by one.

It was, in fact, a garage. A six car garage with five cars and one absolute beauty of a machine. Jack saw the look on Will's face; his mouth was slightly open and he stood shock still even though everyone else was getting into the Pearl.

"Hey, mate, even a Pirate knows the best vehicle isn't always seafarin'," he grinned, and gave him a proud pat on the back. Will just nodded, his mind still mush from the sight of so many cool cars right in front of him. A shiny blue Benz, green Mazda Miada, flashy Vespa motorbike, baby pink Cadillac, and a white limousine surrounded what was obviously Jack's treasured Black Pearl. Will slowly walked towards the huge, intimidating, onyx-black H1 version Hummer. Even he had to hop up to get inside, and when he did he was amazed by how much room there was.

"The Pearl has amazing off-road abilities. She can travel steep hills, rocky terrain, drive at sideways angles, and safely ride through 2 ½ feet of water," Jack said as he began to drive the back way out of the garage through the dark woods. He continued. "She also has power side mirrors, a six CD changer, steel doors, and night vision."

"Night vision!"

"Yes. Gibbs, show him how it works." Gibbs was sitting in the front and he pulled down a control panel, pressed a few buttons and a screen came down in front of Jack. "It allows me to see in the pitch black night 5X further than the naked eye could."

"Wow," he breathed quietly. He had only seen a car like this in advertisements. This car…at least 150,000. This man does not work. Where'd he get the- oh yeah. He's a pirate. Wait, why aren't we on the highway?

As if Jack could read minds, he said, "We're takin' a back route, crew. Highway's too obvious; they'll know we're comin' before we show ourselves."

Soon, they arrived at a large white mansion on a spacious country estate. It was atop a hill and the nearest house was down the road a few blocks away. They parked a bit of a ways away and walked up to the mansion. From outside, they could hear hearty cheers and loud singing. Jack whispered the plan loudly to them and William found out that he was to make his way upstairs and 'grab whatever booty he could find…after the fight was on, of course'. Will would know it was time for him to enter through the window when the time came, so for the moment he just decided to snoop and see what all of the festivities were about. Finding the window to the ruckus, he crouched down low and spied.

The golden light was bright and Will was blinded by the guests' attire. Must be an all-white party, he thought as he looked at their snow white pirate type dresses and suits.

"We kindle and char, inflame and ignite:"

"Drink up me hearties, YO HO!"

"We burn up the city, we're really a fright:"

"Drink up me hearties, YO HO!"

Will could see a stout man on the shorter side, probably 10 years Jack's senior, at the front of the room leading the guests in some sort of pirate anthem. It sounds awfully….familiar…He craned his neck and brought himself a bit higher to try and get a good look at the man's face. Could he be Barbossa? The man was slightly scar pocked in the face and had smoky eyes along with a beard. He also accessorized himself with a small monkey that was perched contentedly on his shoulder where a parrot might sit. As the song was finishing, deafening cheers, hoots and hollers filled the room and the leading pirate moved to accept a wine goblet. When the man moved, a woman was revealed. She was in a big white and silver gown and had a large white pirate hat atop her head. At first, Will thought that she was just sitting down, but as he squinted his eyes he could see that she was in fact tied up! Her hands were bound in her lap and so were her feet; she also had a white cloth gagging her mouth. Her shoulders were slumped- she looked as though she had been fighting, but had given up.

"Ladies and Gents, pirate lads and yer lasses, it has been a very rewarding evenin'." He was beginning his speech. "I would like to present a reward to these two lads here who succeeded in bringin' us our very special guest tonight." With those words, he removed the woman's hat and tossed it out to the audience amidst the hoots and catcalls she received. Honey brown curls fell limply around her face; she now held her head high, her jaw set and her eyes somehow impassively angered.

"Oh, my. God help me," Will breathed quietly as he looked at Elizabeth from outside. Suddenly, Will saw Cotton's parrot wobble in through an open window.

"Krrraawwwk, message! Krrrawwwk!" The man stopped talking. Everyone looked at the bird which was now front and center stage. Elizabeth's eyes widened. "You're a scallywag, scallywag…Barbossa you're a no good scallywag!" the parrot screeched.

Suddenly all hell broke loose as a shot was fired, the windows broke and Jack's pirates burst inside the room. Ladies began to scream and run for the nearest exit and the men began to scramble for their weapons. This was his cue, but he wasn't going anywhere without Liz.

"Elizabeth!" he shouted as he burst in through his own window and ran toward her. He had almost reached her when a disgusting looking man thrust a sword into his leg. He screamed out in pain. Shit, how could I forget a weapon? he thought as he saw the blood begin to pour out of his limb. No time for that. He got back up and punched the man hard in the jaw; he flew back and his head slammed into a statue, knocking him out. That works for me, he thought and grabbed the man's sword. He continued to run towards Elizabeth and fight enemies off with his sword. When he reached her, he grabbed her and threw her over his shoulder prepared to run outside. Jack's words ran through his head. Where's the rum?...Well the punishment won't be so severe...His eyes widened at the thought of what could happen if he messed up again and he turned around and began to run up the stairs. Liz began beating her fists on his back and screaming muffled protests.

"Sorry, babe, but I've got to get some loot. Or else my ass is grass!" he added as he clanked swords with another man.

He rushed into the first room he saw and locked the door behind them. Gently setting her down, he took the gag out of her mouth.

"Are you crazy? Who cares about the treasure, let's get the hell out of here!" She screamed as he untied her hands. She quickly untied her own ankles.

"Nope, I've got to find some money, gold, something! Either help, or find your own way out. Without my help." She was about to leave in a huff, but stopped when she remembered all of the fighting going on downstairs.

"Money? I can find money," she said and began helping him to tear the room apart. A few minutes later, they had succeeded in tearing apart two of the upstairs rooms. They found a few small gold statues, about 200 in cash, and a medium sized chest of who knows what.

"Well, I'm guessing that we didn't hit the jackpot, but that's as good as we're gonna get tonight!" Will said as they fought their way outside and ran toward the Pearl. Hold on… "Elizabeth, how did you get here? What happened? Where are you going!" She was running toward a car, but it wasn't the Pearl. It was a red jeep.

"I'm getting outta here! Where do you think! Are you coming or not!" She screamed, barely looking back at him as she hopped in the driver's seat. He took a look back at Jack's men who were obviously dashing toward the Pearl- they were out numbered and it was a surprise none of them got killed.

"Yeah, I'm coming," he said and hopped in the other side, throwing the loot in the back seat as she kicked up dust by speeding away from the mansion.
