Meg and Kearney walked to the Town Square and back, just talking about little nothings. Kearney mentioned Meg's balance. She nodded and changed the subject, not wanting to say anymore about her voyage over. Once back at the Warren house, they could smell supper on the stove. They walked into the warm kitchen and Mrs. Warren greeted them.

"Bless you, Kearney, for thinkin' of your old coat!" she exclaimed turning Meg so she could see how it fit. "Looks rather nice on 'er doesn' it? And 'ow are you feelin' Miss Meg?"

Meg smiled.

"Better than I'll ever be, thank you."

"Dinner's almost ready,"

Meg smiled and swaggered up to where she was staying. She took off the coat and gloves, placing them in the coat pocket. She looked around the room and then flopped down onto the bed. Then remembering what Mrs. Warren had said, Meg jumped up again and started towards the door. In the kitchen, the table was set, and at each place was a steaming bowl of beef stew complete with potatoes and carrots. Meg's mouth watered as she stared at the food.

"Well, come down, child, and eat!" cried Mrs. Warren. "Sit over 'ere by Kearney." She pulled out a chair for Meg and went to her own spot next to Baby Joseph. Kearney looked at Meg for a moment as she walked, swaying again, over to the seat given to her. Once everyone was seated, Mr. Warren said a blessing and they began to eat.

After dinner, Meg offered to help with the dishes but Mrs. Warren told her to go upstairs and get some rest. Meg remembered that she had been out all-day and nodded, thanked Mrs. Warren for dinner and went upstairs. Meg noticed a nightgown was laid out on the bed. She groaned but then immediately hoped no one had heard her. She knew they were only trying to be nice to her and so she vowed to use it this one time. She would be leaving in the morning…or at least that's what Meg hoped.

Jack ran back into 'The Dark Lily' and asked where Elijah was. He got a few different answers, such as: 'on his ship' or 'at 'The Golden Chain' or 'at another tavern'. Jack decided to look at all three. The Captain found Meg's brother at 'The Golden Chain'.

"What're you doing here? I thought you left," Elijah exclaimed, standing up to greet Jack.

"Listen, mate," began Jack. "You have people working for you all over the country, right?"

"Aye…" said Elijah raising an eyebrow.

"Have them look for Meg…"

Elijah scoffed.

"Why should you care? You handed her over to me!"

"Only because I was ordered." Jack growled. He then clamed down and tried to explain his plan to Elijah.

"She's become family 'round the ship and we all miss her…all except…Louise…" he trailed off.

"What am I to do?"

"Describe Meg to your men and have them pass the word on to the other's not in town."

Elijah nodded.

"Are you sure you want her back?"

Jack set the bag of coins that Elijah had given him the day before yesterday on the table and nodded.

"And from now on…she's not to be sold like a slave…"

Elijah looked from the bag to Jack and smiled.

"Aye, I suppose I could spare some men."

"Thanks, Eli," Jack stood up, clapped Elijah on the back and went as quickly as possible back to the Pearl. Will met him on deck.

"Jack…um…Elizabeth found this in Meg's hammock…" he said and held out Meg's cloak. Jack stared down at it and smiled.

"She'll be missing it sorely…good thing we'll be returning it to her, eh?" Jack smiled and took the green cloak from Will and stuffed part of it in his coat pocket.


Stuffing my cloak in the pocket IS possible! I tried it just after writing that chappie...ok R&R peoples! TALLY HO!
