Chapter 17
"It's Mr. Gibbs, Your Majesty." the soldier told the king. Jack sighed and stood up from his chair.
"Where is he being held?" Jack asked the soldier as he headed for the door.
"In the prison at the fort Your Majesty."
"Good. You may go." Jack said and the soldier walked out the door. Jack pulled his hat off the coat rack and placed it on his head.
"I can handle this John." his adviser told him.
"I've got it mate." With that Jack headed down to the fort. Daniel stood there glaring at the door after he left.
"It won't be long now Sparrow." he sneered and walked out of the door
"'ello mate." Jack greeted Gibbs.
"I ain' yer mate." Gibbs glared at him. Jack sighed and ran a hand though his hair then sat down in a chair in front of Gibbs' cell.
"It don' 'ave ta be like this. If ye tell me who let ye ou' the firs' time 'll let ye go." he told the old pirate.
"Why don' ye go back ta the Pearl? Ye coul' be wit' Ana an' yer babe instead o' Miss Swann." Jack shot up for his chair and grabbed Gibbs by his collar.
"Ana's on the Black Pearl?" he asked pulling Gibbs towards the bars.
"Aye she is. Ye coul' go to 'er." Gibbs said trying to pull away from the ex-captain.
"Where is she and who let you out?" Jack growled.
"I ain' tellin' ye where she is an' all I can tell ye is someone who don' wan' ta see you destroy yerself." Gibbs said as he glared at him again and tried again to get away from him. That time Jack let go and Gibbs fell back onto his back.
"'m sorry Gibbs." he whispered then turned to the guards. "Do what you will." Jack said to the guards and left the prison. On the way out he stopped by another soldier and whispered something in his ear then walked back to the mansion.
"How'd things go at the fort?" Daniel asked Jack as he walked in the door.
"'m goin' to bed. Ye can see yerself out." he said walking up the stairs. Jack laid down in his bed and thought about the orders he had given the soldier. He hadn't wanted to do it but what they had done was treason. He couldn't let that go unpunished.
"Aaron asleep?" Gwen asked Will as he sat down beside her on the sofa.
"Yes he's out for the night. Who knew a four year old at that much energy?" Will chuckled and bent down to kiss her. Before their lips met someone busted through the door and came into where they were sitting.
"You are under arrest for your crimes against the crown." the soldier said standing in front of them.
"What are you talking about?" Will asked him.
"Freeing and harboring known fugitives. You must come with me, Miss." he said pulling Gwen up from the sofa locking her in irons.
"Wait! You can't do this." Gwen said as the soldier lead her towards the broken door.
"My orders came from the king himself. Let's go." The soldiers left with Gwen leaving Will standing there stunned.
