"Well, what's your plan now then, capt'n?" Gibbs brushed some dust of his arms and looked at Jack. It didn't seem that he heard Gibbs questions. He was staring intentiallyat this Carina lass. She though heard Gibbs perfectly well, and answerd in Jacks place.
"I got a boat not far from here. We're gonna have to swim a bit, but it's not to far." Rics face lit up and a great smile started to form. "Though we can't go to it just yet."
Ric lost his hopeful look.
"What...but...ye...oh no..." Was all Ric manage to say then he slumped against the brig wall.
"Lighten up lad, we're gonna get to it, ye just gonna have to wait a bit." Then Carina brought her hand up and pointed upwards with one of her fingers and her lips formed a O. "I just got an idea!" Her face lit up in a great smile, like a little kid. "I'll lock ye up in the brig again..." They didn't let her finished. The whole brig got filled with loud voices of protests.
"Shhh! 'EY! Psst! Ghng! AH! Kshhh! Eeeh! Ssssck! SHUT UP! I'm out of noices to make so just shush and listen to my proposition!" Carina stood in the middle of the circle the pirates had made around her, and waved her finger at them, as if they were small children.
"I'll lock ye up in the brig..." She paused and looked everyone in the eye, daring them to interrupt her, "Then I'll go and do something and I'll come back for ye and we'll go to my boat and get out of here. Savvy?" She scanned their faces while doing plams up.
"What exactly luv, is it that ye're gonna do?" Jack step up to her and sorta leand into her. Great, she thought, he's drunk. That'll make it easier to swim. She took a step back and bowed slightly.
"That my friend is my business. Now go back to ye're little cells and just wait for me." She went behind Will and started to slightly push him in the direction of the cell he came from.
"Hold on luv." Jack grabbed her by her upper arm. "How do we know that ye'll come back for us?" She looked at him and he was caught by the stranges feeling. It took control of him and he just stood there almost paralyzed. He got lost in her brown eyes, with a hint of green sort of hiding beneeth and waiting for the opportune moment to show itself. She though just looked at him as if he was crazed when she realized that he wasn't listening to her and weren't reacting when she tried to contact him.
She brought her face a inch closer to him, and he leaned forward towards her. Just when their faces was just inches apart she formed her lips...and drew a large breath and forced it out again, right in Jacks face. The sudden wind coming upon him brought him out of his musing and he steped backwards coughing and waving his hand infornt of his face.
"Bloody hell! What did ye eat? That have to be the badest breath in the whole spanish main!" He stood up from his bend and step a bit closer, but this time it was away from Carina and closer to Cotton. But his scowl was still derected at her.
"Well, aren't ye quite a charmer. That's yer line? This is the kinda breath ye get when ye don't get to eat in a couple of days. Surely ye know what that's like, don't ye? Ye are afterall a pirate. No? Ye don't? I'll consider myself lucky if I were ye. Being constant hungry isn't exactly something one admire."
Jack didn't say anything, but his eyes narrowed even futher. He watched her as she started ushering his crew back into the cells. Gibbs was the first one she went after, but he budge until Jack gave his okay. Finally everyone was in their cells and Carina moved behind Jack and started pushing him towards the cell where Will was waiting. When he didn't move and inch she started moving her feet futher away from him, and steadied herself on Jacks back, while she pushed him with all her might.
He still didn't move. Carina scowled at his back as she positioned her legs against some wood that supported the ceiling and used all her energy to make Jack move. Jack felt the pressure on his back increase and when he looked behind him he saw Carina was supporeting herself against him and the wood. Not one part of her was touching the ground. He smiled a sly smile and took one step ahead. Carina lost contact with Jack and tried to find something to hold on to as she felt herself fall, but came up with only air.
"Ugrkh" She rolled over onto her back. Bloody bastard, she thougth as she tried to get her breath back. She heard a cell being locked and cursed Jack for having to pull that stunt before going into the cell. But then she felt to arms going around her waist and lifting her up. She brought her head back with a force and got out of the grip, then she turned around and unshead her sword, holding it at the persons throat.
"Bloody Hell Woman! I was just helping ye up!" Jack was holding his hands to his nose and swearing.
"Why arn't ye in the cell? Get back into the cell!" Carina pressed the sword against Jacks throat. Jack brought his hands down and looked at her. The warm and welcome face was nowhere to be seen. She looked pure mean.
"I'm coming with ye."
"Like hell ye are! Get into the cell."
"No can do luv. It's locked." He smiled at her, and she rolled her eyes and groaned.
Well, what harm can it do, bring him with me. That elimenates the possiblity of getting caught. It doesn't eliminate it! And besides he's drunk! Sure it does. When I go alone it's a 50/50 chance of gettting caught, with him with me, there's none. Easy. And his crew seems to trust him, so the drunk part doesn't seem to be a obstacle. Anyway he just walks like a drunkie and he slurrs slightly. I wouldn't say he's drunk. Ye're only saying this because there's no way ye'll get him to enter that cell! I know.
"Fine, come with me. But ye have to do exactly likeI say!" She waited until he nodded, then she lowered her sword and put it away. "We'll soon be back. Adios!" Then she moved to door.
