Jack said that we can go on his ship and we will go in the morning. We stayed on Jack's ship, we three got a our own cabin where ce can sleep. There was nobody on the ship except us, Jack and is firstmate, Mr. Gibbs. I went into our cabin where Nikki and Charlene were already sleeping or it just seemed.

-Why were you in the Lonely Mermaid?- Charlene asked.

-Well, I just had to… make a deal with somebody.-

-You don't want to tell us!- Nikki said suddenly.

-You wanna know what I'm up to?-

-Yes.- They said. I told them about the map and the other pieces.

-I want to ask Jack's help. What do you think?- I asked them.

-I don't think it's a good idea.- Nikki was always soo negative.

-Why's that? I think he can help us retrive the map and the treasure, and I have a plan how to run away with the money without giving anything to him.- I didn't have a plan at all. I wasn't sure about this myself, but I was the captain, I had to show them that I know what I am doing.

-That sounds good.- It looked like I convinced Nikki, Carlene didn't have much choice: she either join us or she could be alone in the Caribbean.

-So, you're in?- I asked them.

-I'm in.- Nikki said without hesitation. A moment later Charlene aggred to it.

-I'm in, too.-

-Good, I'll go see our beloved Sparrow.- I left them alone and headed towards the captain's quarters. I knocked on his door.

-Come in.- Was heard behind the door. I ented and closed the door behind me.

-Jack, I wanna speak with you.- He was sitting at the table, his boots up on it and drinking rum. He motioned me to sit down. I took a seat opposite him.

-What's about, love?-

-It's about treasure: gold, diamonds and whatever you like.-He put down his bottle and got up. I followed him with my eyes. He got closer to me, he leaned forward and whispered in my ear.

-Want something to drink, eat or something else?-

-Rum, please.-

-Right.- He went to a shelf and took out a bottle. He put it infront of me and sat down at his original spot with his boots up like before. I took a sip from my drink.

-Here are the pieces of the map.- I threw them in front of him. He reached out and examined them.- The other is with a man called Ted Hawkins, who's in Port Royale. And another with Captain Rainer. Have heard of them?- He was deep in thought, I saw it. I think he didn't even hear my question. –Jack?- No answer. –JACK!- He jumped a little by my sudden yell.

-Love, you startled me.- He his boots off the table.

-Oh, I'm terribly sorry. Have you heard of them?-

-No, not before.- He looked up to me and put down pieces of the map. –This is why you're coming to Port Royale?-

-Ofcourse not, just partly. I'm coming, because I love weddings. Plus Charlene wats to see her brother very much and I'm her friend and it is my responsibility to be with her when her brother is going to wed.- I took another long síp from my bottle.

-And just these are your reasons?- He grinned, propably wanting to hear that I've come just because of him.

-No, I want to see the town again. What are your reasons?-

-Because of the whelp. He didn't invite me, though.-

-The whelp? You mean Will. Must be sure that you won't come anyway.- He got up and started to pace around the table. He walked round the table twice. The second circle he stopped behind me and put his hands on my shoulder.

-Are you in then?- I asked him.

-You haven't chnged you know, you're still beautiful.- He said as his hands ventured from my shoulders through my neck and stopped at my cheeks. I lowered his hands with mine and stood up then looked at his eyes. I qas lost in them. They were so dark brown. I shivered as he tuoched my arm. I wished that moment would last forever, but every good must come to an end.

-I'm tired. I'll go now.- I started to leave, but he caught my arm and pulled me back.

-Where do you think you're goin'?- He forced me to look in his eyes again.

-To bed?- I guessed weakly. He grinned and kissed me hard. It was a suprise for me that I kissed him back. He pushed me to his bed and I landed on it. It was so comfortable, so soft, plus it had Jack's scent. He started to pull me shirt off, but I stopped him.

-No, Jack.- I tryed to fight against myself. But he didn't made it easy for me, he kissed my neck. Finally I was able to push him off of me. I got up from the bed and stormed out from the cabin. I stopped on deck and went to the railing. I liked Jack really much, but I've heard of him. He has a reputation with women. I heard that he has a or more whores in every port in the Caribbean. And I'm not a whore.

-Liana?- I turned around and saw Charlene.

-You can't sleep right?-

-Yeah.- She walked next to me and leaned over the railing. I was watching the noisy Tortuga before us. –Is Jack in it?-

-He didn't say anything, but I think he is.-

-How will we get the other pieces?- She asked me. I thought about tht before, but I couldn't get an answer to her. –You don't know, do you?-

-You see too much, Charlene. Then I must be honest with you. I don't even have a thought. –I looked at her. –But the time will come and when it comes we'll know what to do.- I yawned. – I'm a bit tired I'll go to bed. Don't be up soo late.-

-Okay.- I went below and collapsed on the bed. I felt something moving under me. I heard a muffled sound.

-Gettoffofme!- I soon realised that it's Charlene who I layed down.

-Sorry.- I found my bed and I comfortably got into it and soon fell into a dreamless sleep.
