Elizabeth awoke to Will's soothing voice.
"Liz, Liz love wake up." He said softly in her ear.
Her eye fluttered open and she smiled slightly.
"I have to bring the boat in, love." He said picking her up and moving out from under her, then setting her back on the deck floor.
"Oh we're there." She stated groggily
He moved swiftly untying and pulling ropes. " Not yet, but we will be in a few minutes."
They floated into the harbor. Will decided not to tie up the boat at the dock, for fear it might be stolen if left in plain sight. So they found a small beach on the side of the island, just walking distance but out of view of the main dock.
The sun was almost ready to show itself along the horizon as Will and Elizabeth entered the town. The drunks were still out and so were the 'ladies' of the area.
Will saw an inn and decided it was as good of place as any to check for Jack. A tall, burley, unshaven man was at the counter with an unwelcoming countenance when the couple entered.
"What do ya want?" he spat at them.
"I just want to know if a man by the name Jack Sparrow was staying at this inn." Will asked boldly, stepping up.
"Captain. Its Captain Jack Sparrow."
They turned around to see a man in the corner. The light from the windows around him, cast and outline of his body. Dreadlocks, boots, and a bandanna on for certain. Not to mention the three of four women surrounding him.
Will shifted his weight from one side to the other, and squinted trying to get a better look. He cocked his head slightly to the side.
"Jack?"
"I'm offended boy, you should know yer old friend Jack." He said standing up and comming towards them.
"Oh Jack its is you!" Elizabeth shouted happily.
"O' course love, but why would you two be in Tortuga? 'Aven't you had e'nough of this place mate?" he said, shooting a look at Will, who ignored it and continued.
"Yes, but Jack we have a problem, and it requires your help."
"No no, mate. If you got the lass carryin' that's yer problem, not a concern o' mine." Then he leaned closer. "But thata boy eh?" he laughed and gave Will a good elbow in the arm.
Will shook his head and Liz rolled her eyes and silently wondered why they were going to this man to save they're lives.
" No Jack, Elizabeth is not with child. It's the Commodore and her father that's the problem." Will stated urgently.
The couple told Jack they're story and what sort of trouble they were really in.
"Well it seems you two are in a tight situation." He said looking quizzical.
"I would offer me ship as a home but that's not place for a married couple, or a family for that matter."
Will looked shyly and Liz who did the same
"So then Jack, what do you propose we do then?" Elizabeth asked as Will slipped his arm around her waist.
Jack looked around the old, nasty inn and tavern. "Deffin'ly can't stay here."
The three of them sat in thought for a moment then Jack spoke up again.
"There are plenty of islands to choose from around this place." He said, directing it towards Elizabeth.
"No no, defffinitly not here, or around. My father is a powerful man in these parts of the Caribbean." She said with large eyes.
Will looked desperately at her when she faced him. "Where then Liz, England?"
"Maybe" she thought a moment. "Or…the colonies."
"The colonies? But they're just experimental." Will was a little shocked.
Just then a British officer staggered into the building. Jack immediately reached for his sword handle.
"Well what ever we do lets decide on the water. They cant touch me there."
