Chapter 6 - Nothing Else Matters

They turned a corner and Jack leaned up against the wall laughing. "Did you see the look on his face? I've never done anything to make him look like that." He said clutching his side. "Ow."

Elizabeth put her hands on her hips and tilted her head to the sky. "That was a workout."

When his breathing went back to normal Jack walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "What do you want to do now? Steal something and run of the cops? I'm on a huge adreneline rush."

Elizabeth kissed him on the lips and he smiled.

"Or we could go back to the hotel."

Elizabeth frowned and rested her head on his shoulder. "Your father will be there. He knows I'm with you."

The sky was turning grey and Jack grabbed her hand. "Come on." He said and she followed him into a church.

The building was of gothic design with high ceilings and stained glass windows. The wood work was amazing and unique. "What kind of chuch is this?" She asked still holding on to Jack's hand.

"I don't know, I know the priest, minister, whatever. He's a good guy, his name is Gibbs."

"Why are we here?"

"He's helped me before, with more serious matters, but he's a good guy don't worry." Jack said and pulled Elizabeth tight to him when a back door opened. "Gibbs?"

An older man with grey hair and brown eyes came out holding a flask in his right hand. "Aye."

Elizabeth looked sideways at Jack who smiled back, showing his teeth. "Gibbs this is Elizabeth Swann."

The older man looked up and walked closer to the younger couple. "Miss Swann, I'm sorry about your mother, she was a good woman."

"Thank you Mr. Gibbs."

"Jack here has lost those close to him also, so full of pain that young man."

"I'm right here Gibbs." Jack said, annoyed. "We need someplace to stay for the night. Can you help us out?"

He looked up at the statue of Jesus hanging on the cross. "Aye I can, but not here, you can stay here when you're alone a woman with you is a different story. What you do with her cannot be in the presence of holy spirits."

Elizabeth blushed a little and Jack rolled his eyes. "Yeah yeah holy spirits good for you. Look, just find us a place okay?"

Gibbs nodded and went in the back where another man came out. "Jack who is that?" Elizabeth asked and Jack's smile grew. "Brett?"

He was about Jack's age with blonde hair and blue eyes. He was cute and Elizabeth looked him over.

"Hey Jack. Who is this?" He asked looking at Elizabeth.

"Elizabeth Swann, meet Brett Fortuno."

Brett took Elizabeth's hand in his and kissed it. "A pleasure Miss Swann."

Jack batted his friend away and put his arm around her waist. "Back off, she's my girl."

"I never thought I'd see the day. A Swann and a Sparrow. Very interesting." He said and put his hood on again, giving identical robes to both Jack and Elizabeth. "Wear these, I'll take you to the motel down town."

Jack made a face. "That place is a piece of shit."

"Jack Sparrow! Watch your language." Elizabeth said.

Brett laughed and the three of them went out into the rain.

POTC

"Where is my daughter?" Jeffery Swann asked when the five police officers he had called were all assembled, only New York's finest.

"We're not sure Governor. Some people said she saw her leave with Jack Sparrow at the party."

Jeffery took a breath and looked at James who was supposed to be with her at the party. "Where were you when this was going on Norrington?"

"I was there, she left my side for a moment, I thought she was going to use the restroom. I never saw her leave."

The governor rubbed his temples and looked at the detective who just came in. "What do you have?"

"They were seen in town today around Times Square. Then they just disappeared, don't worry sir we have our best men on the job."

"If you find Sparrow with my daughter bring her home and do whatever means necessary to get them away from each other."

"I understand sir." Detective Innis said and nodded to his partner.

Everyone was on the hunt for Jack and Elizabeth.

POTC

The motel room was cold and drafty and with the storm outside it wasn't helping matters any.

"What are we going to do?" She asked when Jack sat in the bed and pulled the covers up around him.

"I don't know, come here." He said and when she got in bed with him he kissed her forehead. "All that matters right now is that we're together."

Elizabeth nodded and felt his touch through her clothes.

"You know my father owns lots of property in the Caribbean, we can go there for a while until this all blows over."

"It will never blow over." She said and snuggled closer to him.

"Then we'll never leave." He said and kissed her softly on the lips. She closed her eyes and felt it as his hands started to work her shirt out of her pants and over her head. They took their time with each other, feeling and touching. She felt the soft, careful passion he was giving her and she moaned when his hands touched her breasts.

"Jack, make love to me."

He laughed and pulled his shirt off before settling himself over her. "I'm working on it love."

Her hands maped his toned body and she worked with the button of his pants. He was still and let her undress him before her strength shocked him and he was looking up at he ceiling. Elizabeth straddled him and kissed him passionately.

Thunder rocked the room and drowned out the sounds of the two lovers the rest of the night.
