Chapter 9

Not coming

"Alright, what's her deal, it's been fifteen minutes and she still ain't here," Jack grumbled at the dinner table in the galley.

"Can you blame her? She lost her freedom and father in one day and then has been captive in her room for a month! And what do you care anyhow?" Elizabeth piped up, "She's just in your way, isn't she?"

Jack glared at her for a moment before looking up at Gibbs entering the galley.

"Well? Where is she?" Jack asked as Gibbs made his way to the table.

"Who? Oh, the girl… she's in the process of… circumstances bein' what they are," Gibbs stammered before taking a breath and stating the truth, "she's not coming."

"What!" Jack asked angrily. Then getting up he stomped down the hallway towards the first mate's cabin, Gibbs, Will, and Elizabeth running after him.

…..

"I thought I told ye to come down to the galley for dinner!" Jack yelled after pounding on the door angrily.

"I'm not hungry!" Isabelle replied smoothly from the other side of the door.

"You had better come out of there, missy, or I'm coming in and bringing you out meself!"

Just as Jack reached down for the doorknob, Elizabeth grabbed him by the arm and pulled him away.

"That is enough, Jack!" Elizabeth snapped at him, "I don't know what has gotten into you lately! Stop letting the greed for that treasure cause you to lose your temper so easily!"

"And don't forget that we are all taking a break from finding that treasure," Will reminded Jack who looked away.

"At least try to be more of a gentleman when talkin' to the girl, captain," Gibbs tried to suggest.

Jack rolled his eyes as he came to Isabelle's door once again.

"It would give me great pleasure," Jack said through gritted teeth, "if ye would join me and me crew in the galley right now for dinner."

"We say please," Elizabeth whispered to Jack.

"Please," grumbled Jack to the door.

"No, thank you," Isabelle replied from within the first mate's cabin.

"You can't just stay in there forever!" Jack said getting all the more frustrated.

"Yes, I can!" Isabelle answered back stubbornly.

"Fine!" Jack bellowed, "Then go ahead and starve!"

Then turning to his friends, Jack gave them orders, "If she don't eat with me, then she don't eat at all!"

With that he took off angrily up to the top deck and to the helm.
