Chapter 25
Why?
"So?" Gibbs asked as he, Will, and Elizabeth followed Jack into the captain's quarters.
"What?" Jack grumbled as he collapsed on his bed.
"How did it go tonight with Isabelle?" Will proceeded in asking the pirate.
"Fine, I guess," Jack replied in monotone before the ship made a sudden jolt.
"What was that?" Elizabeth asked as she grabbed onto Will for support.
"We're changing directions," Jack sighed still laying on his bed, "I've set a new course."
"Where we be headed, captain?" Gibbs asked, holding onto the corner of Jack's desk.
"We be goin' back to St. Martin," Jack groaned.
"Why?" Elizabeth asked aloud.
"Because that's where Isabelle's home is," Jack answered through gritted teeth.
"You're returning her back to her home?" Will asked in surprise.
"Seems that way, don't it, mate?" Jack replied sarcastically in a bitter tone.
"But why are you taking her back home, Jack?" Elizabeth pressed.
"Because she misses her father very much," Jack snapped as he sat up but then quickly laid back down on the bed.
Elizabeth took a deep breath as she held Will back from attempting to make a remark.
"Jack," Elizabeth said kindly after a moment of silence, "I understand that you're taking Isabelle back home because she misses her father. But you considered her to be your prisoner, why the sudden decision to let her go? Why are you setting her free?"
"Because," Jack began quietly afraid of his friends' reaction to what he was about to finally admit, "I love her."
