I do not own Pirates of the Caribbean or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Chapter 14

Jail Sparrow

Captain Jack Sparrow sat on the cold stone bench in the middle of two men; Rick and Bubba. Jack was used to men of these sorts, but these men were not used to a man who looked like Willy Wonka.

"What did a shrimp like you do to get in here?" This coming from the three hundred pound Bubba. Jack didn't think stealing rum sounded too intimidating.

"Making a man a eunuch." Both men crossed their legs in sympathy pain. "Is that a crime?" Jack turned his attention to the smaller Rick.

"I guess it is mate, it landed me in here didn't it?" "You look familiar." Jack sat back and rolled his eyes. "Are you that candy maker?" "What of it?"

"The press is gonna love this. Mr Willy Wonka in jail for making a man a eunuch." "Press?" "Yeah, your face is gonna be all over the papers." "Oh."

"Papers?" Bubba decided to take this one. "How long have you been locked up in that factory anyway? The newspapers, you know, what people read to stay informed of the days' happenings."

"What are you in here for mate?" "It's Bubba, and I robbed little old ladies of their purses." Jack normally got his plunder from people in more fortunate circumstances, but he wasn't there to judge.

"And you?" "My name's Rick by the way, and I'm in here for hitting my brother in the jaw. Never thought he'd press charges." "Why did you hit him?" "He told me my dog was sissy"

"What type of dog do you have?" "A miniature poodle." He smiled at the thought of his little Fifi. Captain Sparrow realized he was surrounded by morons.

"You two want to get out of here?" "Sure, but how do you plan on doing that?" "Well, I'll tell you Bubba. It's a simple matter of leverage. You pull on those bars over there with all your might and free us all, savvy?"

Jack knew fully well that no man could budge those bars, but he had hoped to create a diversion so he could quickly slip out while they were dealing with moron number one.

"I can't move those bars." "What's the harm in trying? Just give it a little pull ay?" Just as the less then adequately brain supplied Bubba was about to make his escape attempt, the warden came over.

"Willy Wonka, you're free to go." Jack got up and slapped each man on the back. "Sorry to have to leave you two gentlemen's company so soon."

The Warden opened the door and Jack swayed out. The man gave him a less than approving look. "Don't look so glum, mate, you still have those two in there." With a pat on the back he walked away from him and straight into the arms of a very disapproving trio.
