-1The Triangle of Trouble
Jack came down the steps and stood in front of the cell, "I want ye names savvy?"
"Fine my name is Nicole and this is my friend Kama." Said Nicole calmly.
"How do you know so much?" he asked.
"We have our sources." Said Kama with a grin.
Jack sighed, "Your lucky Will be here."
Jack unlocked the door, "Thanks."
"It was getting kinda stuffy in there." Said Kama.
They followed Jack out and across the deck he led them across the ship to a comfortable sized cabin with a bunk bed. "You may stay here until the end of the voyage. Do you have any special talents?" asked Jack.
"Nicole is a pretty good chef and I don't have a lot of problems with sewing and making cloths." Said Kama.
"That's all?" asked Jack with a raised brow.
"I went to a doctor school for a couple of years." Said Nicole sitting on the bottom bunk.
There was a knock on the door, "Yes?"
A pirate with a balding head and a gray beard poked his head in, "Captain Cookie cut himself and I don't think he can make dinner." explained the man.
"Alright where is he?" asked Jack.
"On deck sir."
"C'mon." said Jack looking at Nicole.
Nicole got up and looked back at her friend nervously and followed Jack out of the door and into the sunshine. Nicole kneeled next to the man who had cut his hand, "Give me your hand." The man looked to Jack who nodded his head to confirm the request. The man held it out and there was a deep gash running across the palm of his hand.
"It needs stitches. I need some clean water, clean cloth, a needle and string, oh and some rum as well."
When no one moved Jack yelled, "Move the lot of you!"
When Nicole had all of the items she had asked for she went to work, "Drink the rum." After lots of rum the man Cookie had almost passed out when Nicole finally began to clean and stitch Cookie's hand.
Nicole tied the last stitch off and wrapped his whole hand in a layer of clean cloth. "There, he should probably try ad not use it for a few days." Said Nicole standing up.
"Kama and I can take over cooking until he is able to again. May I go?" Jack nodded and Nicole walked back to the room she shared with Kama.
"How'd it go?" asked Kama when Nicole walked in the room.
"No big deal just a couple of stitches. Oh by the way we're making dinner." Said Nicole sitting on the bottom bunk.
Kama moaned, "What are we going to make?"
"No clue we should probably find out what we have to pick from food wise." Said Nicole.
"This sucks." Moaned Kama.
They left the room and Kama tapped a pirate on the shoulder, "Yes hello, I was…oh boy…."
The pirate turned it was William Turner, "Can I help you?" asked Will.
"Umm could you tell us were the kitchen is?" asked Kama with a little blush.
"Of course," Will said with a grin.
He nodded in the direction they had come, "Second door."
"Thanks." Said Kama.
Will went back to picking up boxes, "Do you need help?" asked Kama.
"I don't want to keep you from your friend." Said Will.
"Oh you wouldn't be she'll find me or I'll find her either way it doesn't really matter." Said Nicole smiling.
"As long as you don't mind." Said Will.
Kama picked up a box, "I don't mind at all." Nicole grinned and turned to go to the kitchen but ran into someone, Jack.
"Sorry about that." Said Nicole stepping back.
"No worries luv." Said Jack. Nicole started to walk away but Jack side-stepped in Nicole's way again. She frowned a bit and tried to walk around him again but Jack stepped in Nicole's way again.
"Will you tell me what you're doing?" asked Nicole stepping back very annoyed.
"Seeing what your up to."
"You saw me just two seconds ago." Said Nicole.
"Did you want to help Will and your friend?"
"What are they doing?" asked Nicole.
"Taking supplies down to storage."
"Sure why not?" asked Nicole.
"Grab a box." Said Jack grabbing one and walking across the deck.
They got to some stairs and Jack warned, "Watch yourself on the steps." The words had hardly left his mouth when Nicole slipped and fell on her butt all the way down the stairs. Jack put his box down and exploded with laughter, very annoyed Nicole grabbed an orange (in the box she'd been holding) and threw it at Jack's head. It hit him square in the forehead and he stopped laughing but Nicole started laughing at Jack.
"What's all the commotion?" asked Will as he and Kama walked over.
Nicole looked at her friend and she was doing something Nicole had never seen her do before, blush.
"She threw an orange at me." slightly whined Jack.
"Well you had it coming Mr. Sparrow." Said Nicole getting to her feet.
"Call me Jack."
"What about Captain Jack Sparrow?" asked Kama.
"Jack." Said Jack with a slight glare.
"But I thought that you were a captain?" asked Kama.
"I am."
"Then why aren't we required to call you captain?" smirked Kama.
"Kama stop picking fights with Jack." Said Nicole walking up to Jack.
"Let me see your forehead please." Requested Nicole.
Surprisingly Jack sat down on a barrel, "You should probably put something cold so it doesn't swell or bruise."
"And what do I tell my men if'n it does bruise?" asked Jack.
"Just tell them that you got into a fight in Tortuga. You're a pirate be creative and come up with something." Smiled Nicole standing up.
"Now if you will excuse me Kama and I have to go find something to do for dinner." Said Nicole dragging Kama up the stairs.
