Elizabeth was on the bed, another man dressed in black was over her, a knife held high in the air. Will saw her nightgown pulled up to her waist…

Will fired. Will emptied his gun on the son of a bitch. Will knew this was their killer.

Elizabeth let out a scream. He saw a ravaged fear in her eyes.

Will pulled her to her feet. "We've got to get out of here." Will said hoarsely. He pulled on her arm led her out of the room.

As they ran down the hallway, several bullets sprayed the walls. Will grabbed Elizabeth and pulled her into an emergency stairwell. Will then looked at Elizabeth. "Take this." Will handed her a gun he grabbed before he left her room.

Elizabeth nodded lazily. Will pulled her up the stairs of the hotel and onto the roof. Going downstairs, Will figured, would only bring more men.

"Elizabeth…" Will pulled her down to duck behind a air vent. For the first time he looked at her. She stared back with tears glistening in her eyes. She hooked her arms around his neck and sobbed.

Will held her. "We have to get out of here."

Elizabeth nodded once again in compliance. "The fire escape." Elizabeth then looked to the parking garage. "Our car is in there…" Good, Will thought, she's thinking.

"Come on." Will took her hand and they crept along the wall until they reached the fire escape. Will let Elizabeth go first, and he climbed in after her.

They were half way to their destination when gun fire rang out once more. Elizabeth turned up and fired three shots into the general direction of the sound. "Move!" Will shouted.

They finished their decent in a sprint and managed to get into their car. "Where are the keys?"

"Never mind that!" Elizabeth shouted as she ripped open a compartment on top of Will's thigh. "Just keep a look out…" Elizabeth placed her head on top of his lap and began ripping wires and reconnecting them.

"Elizabeth…hurry up…" Will murmured as he saw several men headed towards them.

"I got it…" Elizabeth sparked two wires together and the car roared to life. Will put the car in gear and headed straight for the men. Will kept Elizabeth's head on his lap as more gunfire spattered the hood of their car.

Will drove them far away, as fast as they could. Elizabeth then sat in her seat. "It was him wasn't it…I knew it was him, I could feel it…"

"I think it was."

"And those other men? Melanie is doing all of this…"

"Yes, she has something to do with this I'm sure…however, it isn't safe for us anymore."

Elizabeth nodded in agreement. "Yes, we need help. I know just who to go for it."

"Damn it!" Melanie Baines picked up a vase and threw it against the wall. "Clean up the damn mess, if this gets out we are all done."

"He's dead Mel." Jason Monroe said. "Maybe you should just give this up."

Melanie looked at her little brother and smirked, he didn't have any idea what this woman could do to her. "Jason, if Elizabeth Swann goes to the press, it could mean she gets my Daddy's money. You don't care because he isn't your father and you won't get anything when the bastard dies!"

Jason was Melanie's half brother, same mother, different father. Jason's father was on death row in California for the murder of two police officers. "Mel, you are running out of options."

"No, I still have one thing going for me." Melanie stormed out of the office and headed home.

On the drive home she pulled out her cell phone. "Where are you?"

"I'm waiting for you." Melanie smirked. Another one…hook…line…and sinker.

As Melanie walked into the foyer of her townhouse she glanced at herself in the mirror. She was drop dead gorgeous. Beautiful blonde hair, bright blue eyes, an ample chest, and a killer figure. Melanie puckered her lips before she went up to her bedroom.

Luke Carlson was waiting for her in his uniform. He was in the SEALS and was especially gorgeous. "I need you for something." Melanie said as she walked in and shut the door behind her.

"What's that?"

"I need you for a very…special mission." Melanie said as she took off her jacket.

Mesmerized by her sexual advances he was slack jawed. This was the President's daughter…

She then unbuttoned her blouse and revealed a laced pink bra. "I don't think this is…" She then pressed her body against his and kissed him hard.

"I need you…" Melanie then toyed with Luke's zipper. Her hands trailed along the back of his thighs as she yanked his pants down. She stared at him with those blue eyes, and she knew he was done.

He picked her up off the floor and nearly slammed her into the bed. His animal instincts took over and he was removing every article of clothing he had on.

Melanie smiled. Hook…line…and sinker.

"Dad, can I have a word with you." James Norrington stopped his father. President Corbin Baines stopped and smiled at his son.

"Sure." James took in a deep breath. "Are you keeping an eye on Melanie?"

"No. Why?"

"She's getting weird." Corbin frowned. "What I mean is…I think she is up to something."

"No, she's a good girl. I assure you son, if she were doing anything suspicious, I would know about it."

James watched his father sit behind his desk. James decided against the Baines name, only because he wanted his own life, and to make a career on his own, without his father's help, so he kept his mother's maiden name, Norrington. "Dad, I think she may get herself in trouble." James then sat down across from his father. "Especially with this whole Swann thing."

"Melanie knows nothing of it…she shouldn't be concerned even if she knew." James looked skeptical. "Son…just leave it be."
