(A/N) Sorry guys! I will give you all a bunch of chapters I swear! I also started on a sequel to this…and oh my is it good…hehe

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

Elizabeth swam to the surface and gulped in air, as her attacker only fought her harder. Elizabeth looked at the face and realized she knew that she was in really deep trouble, her attacker, Bo Sun, was a well known contract killer, his profile was fresh in her mind after she looked through all the files they had on Barbossa, apparently Bo Sun was Barbossa's go to guy.

Elizabeth clawed at his face as he pulled her under the water. She grabbed and scratched at anything she could. Elizabeth felt herself give way as the cold water started to stiffen her joints, she needed air, he wouldn't let her breathe.

Elizabeth then felt a jolt as Bo Sun let her go. As Elizabeth swam for the surface and gasped for breath, she saw the water was a deep shade of pink, and the body of Bo Sun floating away from her.

Elizabeth screamed with fright and looked up at the dock. "Give me your hand." Elizabeth reached for a hand she didn't expect to see, Jack Sparrow.

"How did you know?" Elizabeth shook with cold. "Why?"

"Elizabeth, just stay quiet for a moment." Jack took off his jacket and wrapped it around her shoulders. "How long have you been in the water?"

"A long time…"

"Okay…" Jack looked up to see Will running towards them.

"What happened?" Will asked as he ran to Elizabeth's side.

"Barbossa has decided to play a game…" Jack motioned to the floating corpse. "I was driving by when I saw them in the water."

"Elizabeth, are you alright?" Will looked at her, her lips were blue and she was shaking.

"I'm really cold." Elizabeth said. Will carefully lifted her in his arms.

"Let's get out of here." Will said as he followed Jack to his car.

WEWEWEWEWE

"Just what on earth were you thinking? Barbossa is one sick individual! I mean like Charles Manson, Marilyn Manson…I can't think of any more Manson's!" Jack harped on Will immediately once he knew Elizabeth was sleeping soundly. "I thought you had some brains."

"I have brains…"

"Well you just did something incredibly stupid. What makes you think she'll talk to Barbossa? He obviously knows where she is…"

"No kidding." Will sat down. "She could have died."

"Yes she could have and it would have been all of your fault. Let's get over that…" Jack paused a few seconds before continuing. "Good, now that we are all squared on blame let's just think on how do we handle this. No evidence, and on my end it's empty. Barbossa is under the radar and I can't find him."

"None of my informants can find him either. This is bad, really, really bad."

"No kidding." Jack then sat down across from Will.

Elizabeth's cell phone then started to ring. Will reached over and picked it up from the table. "Hello?"

"Who's this?" Will froze, it was Hector Barbossa.

"You screwed up big time Barbossa…you sent an amateur to off her but he couldn't handle it."

"Really, such a shame. You're Detective Turner aren't you?" Barbossa laughed into the phone.

"Yes."

"Put Elizabeth on the phone now, I have business with her not you." Will looked up and saw Elizabeth in the doorway, looking worn and tired.

"I'm here Barbossa." Elizabeth said in a hoarse voice once she grabbed the phone from Will.

"My dear, you sound horrible."

"Well after my little work out with your killer, anyone would be."

"So when are you going to help my cause?"

"Never."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Absolutely. Find another attorney to terrorize, leave me alone."

"Elizabeth, you are weaker than I imagine. Here is the deal you will except from me. Your father's annual Governor's Ball is next week. I will be there, and so will you."

"I'm not going."

"Oh but you are. Every year you attend and dance with your father. You buy a beautiful ball gown and you are in the envy of every woman in the room, and on the minds of every man. You go because it raises money for a charity you hold dear to your heart, so I know you'll go. But here is an extra incentive…by any chance that you do not show up, I will make sure your father never sees another Ball in his life."

Elizabeth froze with fear as reality hit her. "Leave him alone."

"No, I think not. See you then my dear."

Elizabeth shut the phone and looked at Will. "It's a game to him, a game in which he decides whether I live or die. He wants me to become his lawyer…he wants me for some reason I can't understand…"

"Elizabeth you're good at what you do…" Jack said.

"Then why would he try and kill me?" Elizabeth then told Will and Jack about the telephone conversation. "I'm going."

"We could cancel the event Elizabeth." Will said.

"He would find another way to hurt my father." Elizabeth stood up and stared out the window. "I want it over with. Jack, I will get invites for you and any associate you have that can help us, and Will, I don't want my father to know, I don't want the police to know. They will add extra security and it will tip Barbossa off." Elizabeth looked down at her hands. "If he manages to grab me…just keep fighting…I won't let him get the best of me."

Will could barely believe what she was saying. She was setting up herself for a huge fall. "Elizabeth there are other ways…"

"No Will, no one else gets hurt…remember I'm already damaged." Elizabeth smiled faintly as she turned to Jack. "I need to know what your plan is before Thursday, the ball is Saturday night."

"I'm leaving now." Jack liked the plan and left with an extra zip in his step…he could get the bastard soon enough.

"Elizabeth this is suicide."

"No, it is a means to an end." Elizabeth sat down next to Will. "Will, I have to do this. Let me do this."
