Carina came to a halt right in front of the door, unshed her sword yet again and put her ear to the door. Jack, who wasn't really paying attention to his surroundings but rather to that beautiful arse right within arms distant, stumbled into her and had to grab hold of her waist to steady himself and her.

Carina whipped her head to look at Jack and found his face close to hers. All of the sudden things seemed too crowded and Carina felt her panic rising. Careful not to show it, she wriggled out of his grip, or at least she tried to. His grip on her waist tightened and her breath changed and became slightly ragged. She tried one more time and was time rewarded with a small chuckle from Jack. She felt his breath tickle her sensitive skin at her neck.

"Relax luv." He brought his hand up and took hold of her chin. "I wont do anything…yet." It started out as a chuckle but ended as a painful Oof. "Dammit woman! What the bloody hell is wrong with ye!" He held a hand at his stomach, protecting the bruise that would be sure to be there after her elbow.

"Ye wont be doing anything with me, now or later. Ye will keep those dirty hands off me and ye will make sure that yer crew does the same. Savvy?" When he didn't answer her, but gave an angry glare she pointed her sword at his precious family jewels.

"I said savvy?"

"Savvy." She lowered her sword and went over to Jack. When she reached him she removed his arm and hiked up his shirt. His protest was ignored and his attempt to free himself stopped. She stood silently and studied his stomach. Jack just looked at her. What the hell is she doing now? Bloody woman, confusing as shit. She abruptly stood back up and let his shirt back down.

"Doesn't seem like I hit ye too hard. Ye'll live." She smiled at him and patted his shoulder. "Don't do that again." Then she moved back to door and bend down to listen again. Satisfied she came back up and turned to Jack. She put her sword away and waved him over. Then she grabbed hold of his arm and opened the door.

She was out on deck, and could see the pirates running around on, fulfilling their captain's orders. She scanned the deck, trying to find him and was pleased to find him at the helm. She tugged at Jacks hand and led him in the shadows to a secure place. There she crunched down, drug him with her, and looked around. She stretched her neck a little and looked up and down galley. Then she looked at Jack and tugged at his hand once more.

And that crazy woman ran for it. He stumbled slightly, but Carina didn't stop so it was either fall and lose your arm or keep the arm and the grace. Not wanting to make a total fool of himself, Jack did his best to regain his balance and run after Carina. To achieve this he had to sacrifice his hat.

"ME HAT!" Jack cried out and pried himself loose. "NO! Jack!" She ran after him and just as he bent down she unshed her sword and stabbed a dirty pirates ready to play with Jack in the heart. Jack bend back up and looked down at the pirate, who now had an extra hole in his body. His lips formed a O and he looked at Carina. She stood there, arms crossed and tapping with her foot.

"There was a reason I ran." Then she turned on her heels and moved towards a door only a few feet away. She opened it and ushered Jack inside. Jack stood in the doorway for while. Behind him Carina rolled her eyes and gave him a last little push, then shutting the door.

"It would be nice if you didn't tell every soul about us." Jack looked at her.

"Didn't know there was an us, luv." Carina looked at him for a moment, not quite getting what he was saying. Thenit dawned upon her.

"Jesus, is that all you ever think about? Really Jack, get your mind out of the gutter and help me find the dagger so we…"

"What dagger?"

"It's a dagger with a dragon handle. It's bound to be here somewhere. Help me find it. They'll soon find the man in the galley and they'll come looking for us."

Jack nodded and started looking around the cabin for the dagger. There was a bed pushed into a corner and a desk was standing beside it. The bed sheets were scrambled and nothing but neat and the desk was filled with halfway burned down candlesand maps. They were without doubt in the captain's cabin.

He went over to the bed and lifted the covers. He found lots of half-eaten apples, but there was no dagger. Then he turned to the desk. He opened the draws and lifted the maps. Nada.

"Ye having any luck luv?" He turned to look at Carina and found her moving towards the bed. "I've already looked there. It wasn't there." She didn't acknowledge him, but kept on towards the bed. "'Ey? Carina, I've already…" She got down on all four and looked up at Jack. He sighed and shifted his gaze to the door. "Aye, I didn't look there." Then he moved to the other side of the room as Carina crawled under the bed.

Next to the door was a dresser. Jack opened the drawsand looked inside. The first one was filled with shirts. Second with breeches. The last one was empty, except for a picture. Jack picked it up and studied it. The corner of his lips tugged a little and his eyes narrowed as he brought the picture even closer. The picture was of a little baby boy. He had on a hat with laces all around and his shirt was big and had stripes. Looked a little like a sailors shirt. Then he had diapers made out of clothing. In his hand he held a tiny sword made out of wood and his smile was great and consisted of one tooth. Jack recognized him as the owner of the cabin, ol' captain Hoggy. He turned around and looked at the bed that now had to human legs sticking out from under itself. Still with the picture in his hand he sat down on the bed, chuckling when Carina groaned.

"Get yer bloody arse of me!" The "bed" said.

"It's hard to get off ye when I'm not on ye." He laid down and found an uneaten apple in the pile in the bed. It was green and hard and looked untouched by the others so Jack took a bite. Carina let out a frustrated growl and her feet disappeared further in under the bed.

"Eureka! I got it!" She said in a singsong voice. "'Ey Jack! Grab hold of me feet and drag me out of here!"

"And just why should I do that?" Jack steadied himself at the headboard and was studying his nails, pretending to be an aristocrat.

"Jack!" He sighed and threw the apple away. Then he stood up and rubbed his hands together before grasping her legs in a tight grip and hauling her out.

"Whee!" She laughed an rolled on to her back. Jack still held a hold on her legs so her body was twisted, arms were stretched above her and in her left hand she held a dagger. The scabbard and handle was decorated and formed as a dragon. The dragons were silver and the rest of the scabbard was gold. Carina's face was holding a great grin and Jack couldn't help but smile back at her. She wriggled her feet and Jack let go of her. Then she stood up and tucked the dagger away.

"Ye got it all now?" Jack looked at Carina and she let out a small giggle, then she nodded and moved towards the door. Jack smiled and followed her. When they were close enough to the door Jack put a hand on her shoulder making her stop. She turned her head and looked at him with a look that clearly said what-the-fuck? Jack just smiled and moved in front of her. Then he grab the door handle with one hand and bowed deep while gesturing for her to move on through the door. First Carina giggled, but she was interrupted by a deep voice rumbling through the room.

"Thank you Jack. A captain like myself could get used to this kinda treatment."
