Chapter 3

Rose, now fully dressed in proper attire for her status, stood with her father, James, and Gillette around a huge map of the Caribbean, draping over the desk and chair. Mutogg and Mullroy stood behind them.

Will burst into the room, still armed with a sword and boarding axe. "They've taken her! They've taken Elizabeth!"

They looked up at him.

Rose's brow raised a little, she had already alerted everyone that Elizabeth had been taken.

"Mr. Murtogg, remove this man." James said as he didn't look up from the map.

Murtogg grabs Will by the arm, but Will shakes it off.

"We have to hunt them down! We must save her!"

Rose swallowed the lump in her throat as her father wrapped his arm around her.

"And where do you propose we start? If you have any information concerning my daughter, please - share it."

Murtogg thought for a moment remembering something. "That Jack Sparrow ... he talked about the Black Pearl."

"Mentioned it, is more what he did." Mullroy said, nodding his head.

"Ask him where it is! Make a deal with him! He can lead us to it!" Will exclaimed, trying to get them to agree to this. He wanted to save Elizabeth from the torture of the pirates that had taken her.

"No. The pirates who invaded this fort left Sparrow locked in his cell. Ergo, they are not his allies. Governor, we will establish their most likely course…"

Will suddenly slammed his boarding axe into the desk through the map causing Rose to jump. "That's not good enough!"

James yanked the axe from the desk as he came around it. "Mr. Turner, you are not a military man, you are not a sailor. You are a blacksmith. This is not the moment for rash actions." He threw a strong arm across Will's shoulders, moving him towards the paused for a moment and leaned close to Will. "Do not make the mistake of thinking you are the only man here who cares for Elizabeth." He looked at Will with a simple stare and then shoved the axe at Will.

Will looked down knowing that there was no way that he was going to get help. He turned and left.

Rose slowly moved away and went to the door. "I'm… I'm going to go get air." She said as she picked up the skirts of her dress quickly before following after Will. "Will…" She called out as she rushed after him.

Will quickly turned around seeing Rose there. "Rose… what are you…"

"I know what you're doing." She said softly, keeping her voice fairly low. "You're going to talk to Captain Sparrow, are you not?"

Will swallowed the lump in his throat.

"You're doing this to save Elizabeth are you not?"

Will nodded his head looking up at her. "Yes."

"I want to help."

"Forgive me Miss Swann, but…"

"Don't say it. Just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I can't do what you can do… I want to save my sister…"

Will let out a breath before nodding his head knowing that there was no way to talk Rose out of doing what she wanted to do.

Will opened the door slowly and allowed Rose to go first.

The two of them walked down the stairs towards the cells in the prison.

Rose bit her lip softly as she pushed some of her curls out of her sight.

Will looked at Jack who was sitting in a relaxed, lounging pose. "You, Sparrow!"

"Aye." Jack said slowly looking up.

"You are familiar with that ship? The Black Pearl?"

"I've heard of it."

"Where does it make berth?"

Rose nervously shifted on her feet. She wondered if Jack would be able to help out with trying to find her sister. She needed to find her little sister and bring her back home to their father.

"Where does it make berth? Have you not heard the stories? Captain Barbossa and his crew of miscreants sail from the dreaded Isla de Muerta... it's an island that cannot be found - except by those who already know where it is."

"The ship's real enough. Therefore its anchorage must be a real place. Where is it?"

"Why ask me?" Jack questioned laying back and nonchalantly studied his nails.

"Because you're a pirate."

"And you want to turn pirate yourself, is that it? And your bonnie lass?"

"Never! They took Miss Swann."

"Who is my little sister." Rose said as she looked at Jack.

"Oh, so it is that you've found a girl. I see. Well, if you're intending to brave all, hasten to her rescue and so win fair lady's heart, you'll have to do it alone, mate. I see no profit in it for me."

"I can get you out of here."

"Will you certain…"

"How's that? The key's run off."

"I helped build these cells. These are half pin-barrel hinges. " He picked up a bench and placed it at the bottom of the cell door. "With the right leverage and the proper application of strength, the door will lift free."

Jack looked closely and suspiciously at Will and Rose. "What's your name?"

"Will Turner."

Jack sat up looking at Will. He nodded his head. "That will be short for William, I imagine. Good, strong name. No doubt named for your father, eh?"

"Yes."

Jack got up to his feet. "Ah hah. Well, Mr. Turner, I've changed my mind. If you spring me

from this cell, I swear on pain of death, I shall take you to the Black Pearl and your bonny lass." He stuck his hand out. "Do we have an accord?"

Will looked at him suspicious as Jack kept his hand out, still smiling. Will let out a breath shaking his hand. "Agreed."

"Agreed! Get me out."

Will wedged the bench under the cell door, putting his weight oin it, straining a little the cell door raised and fell forward crashing down on the ground. "Hurry, someone will have heard that."

Rose took a soft breath.

"Not without my effects." Jack said as he quickly found his effects. He strapped on his belt and checked his pistol.

"Why bother with that? You could have escaped if you killed me, but you weren't willing to use it."

"Are you advising me that was a mistake?" He leveled the pistol at Will.

Rose gasped softly, her hands going up to her mouth.

Will gazed at him unafraid of what Jack was doing.

"When you've only got one shot, it's best to wait for the opportune moment. That wasn't it." Jack then suddenly grinned, lowering his gun. "Nor is this."

"We must go before we're caught." Rose said as she moved quickly towards the exit.

Jack, Rose, and Will peeked out from beneath the bridge, near where dozens of fishing boats rest upside down on the beach. Beyond the busy docks, in the harbor, the Dauntless looms in the distance.

"We're going to steal a ship?" Will questioned looking at the Dauntless. "That ship?"

Rose took a soft breath shaking her head.

"Commandeer. We're going to commandeer that ship." He pointed at the Interceptor. "Nautical term.." Jack turned, giving both of them a critical look. "One question about your business, boy, or there's no use going. This girl? How far are you willing to go to save her?"

Rose slowly turned her head wondering what Will would say.

"I'd die for her."

Rose's eyes went wide knowing now that Will had a deep love for Elizabeth and her in return. She took a soft breath, closing her eyes.

"Oh, good. No worries, then." Jack then looked at Rose. "And what about you, bonnie lass?"

"I'd die trying to save her. She's my sister after all."

Jack's brow raised as he looked at her. He hadn't expected her to willingly say that she would die for her own sister.

"Besides… she's more loved than I… so it is the right thing to do."

Jack's brows furrowed, no one loved Rose? That was something he wasn't expecting. He eyed her, taking in her beauty. He kept silent knowing that prim and proper ladies wouldn't want to hear what he thought.
