A/N: Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls...finally what you've all been waiting for, the return of Jack...and something else winks and laughs slyly...On with the show.

Chapter 20! (sorry just felt like doing that)

Girlish laughter filled the room as Jack awoke.

He looked over and saw Madeline eyeing him playfully like a cat.

"Wha?" He asked as he sat up in bed.

"Nothing, I just like lookin at ya."

Jack put on a pair of pants and walked over the washbasin. Madeline's house was small and cramped, but in a weird way she made it fit. Madeline's house had a bohemian feeling to it with beads, scarves, and rugs adorning most rooms.

The cool water calmed and focused him as he finished washing up.

"Ya don't need to wash up, come back to bed with me." Insisted Madeline sweetly as she crawled over the bed and wrapped her arms around him.

"That I can't do luv, I'm a very busy man."

Once again Madeline flaunted her famous pout, "are ya sayin that to get rid of me?"

"No, I have ta recruit a new crewmemba."

He walked over to the bed and put on his boots.

Madeline followed him with lowered eyes, "oh let me guess ya're gonna hire that Ana whore aren't you?"

Jack's eyes flashed in anger for a moment before it was gone.

"Careful Maddie," he warned not raising his voice "don't assume things ya don't know bout others."

Madeline instantly got quiet, everyone knew that when Jack got this way you had to be careful how you acted.

Madeline changed the subject, "so are ya comin' back tonight?"

"It all depends."

"On wha?" she asked watching him tie a red bandanna around his head.

"On how busy I am." He answered simply.

Madeline knew that this was not going how she planned. Things had been going so good and then they took a turn for the worse. She wanted to tell him so much, but when you dealt with Jack Sparrow one never really knew how things ended up. Madeline found out that she was in love with Jack when she was 18, but the only thing he ever really saw her as was a friend with benefits.

Now they were at the door, Jack in his clothes and Madeline in her gray chemise the same as her eyes which were watching him.

"Oh Jack." She called out.

"Hmmm."

"Last night when ya told me bout how ya were lookin' for a treasure, I found ya a place."

"Ya did?" He asked his interest sparked at this opportunity.

Madeline smiled glad that she could subdue his anger for just a moment, "well..." she said shyly, "not all the credit goes to me, a friend of mine told me about it, and bein' the kind hearted person I am I wanted to tell ya about it because I know how much ya love sailing and all that other stuff ya pirates do."

"Well 'ow many people know bout this lil' place of ya friend's?" He asked trying to see if this place was worth searching or not.

"Just the 3 of us: ya, I, and him. It's on an island that not many have heard of. It's on an island called Edisto Island; it's close to Antigua. Spanish mercenaries in the late 1500's while Spain was still high and mighty they sent out a ship, el antiguedad with a good bit of treasure to give to Cartagena when a storm blew them off course stranding them on Edisto Island. Years went by and no word ever heard of them until my friend got word of the story and checked the place out. The place was loaded! Treasure chests, statues, and other trinkets by which the likes they had neva seen before. Well they loaded up their treasure and before they could sail off their ship sank; must be bad luck I suppose. Anyways only my friend managed to survive from the wreck, and he's in just as bad shape."

As Jack listened to her, for the strangest feeling he was actually getting interested by the minute.

"An ya say this place is real?" He asked skeptically.

Madeline nodded her head.

"Well I gotta go." He said as he kissed her quickly on the lips before heading out.

Madeline followed him out and watched him leave. After he turned the corner she was about to go back in when a voice spoke.

"Did ya tell him?"

Madeline jumped, "damn!" she yelled jumping in fright.

The voice laughed as she clutched her chest.

"Are ya tryin to give me a heart attack?" she asked angrily.

"An have ya ruin tha plan? Neva." Replied the voice calmly as a hand reached out and traced fingers down her face.

"So," continued the voice, "were ya convincin' enough?"

"What do ya think!" She retorted putting her hands on her hips.

"That's my girl." Replied the voice, then the fingers went to the buttons on her chemise, "so what ya if we continue our business inside?"

Madeline smiled devishly, "aye Commodore." she pulled the commodore by the hand back into her house.

Ana came to Edward's house and knocked on the door.

Edward opened the door, "Serena! How nice to see you again!" He cheerfully greeted as he ushered her inside.

"Hi Edward, I brought ya some dinna." She held up the bags.

Edward eyed the bags hungrily rubbing his belly, "good I haven't had a good meal in a while."

He led her towards the kitchen, "why don't you prepare it for us while I get ready/"

"Okay." Agreed Ana as Edward left.

On his way to the bathroom, there came a knock at the door.

Edward opened it to see Jack.

Jack was about to say something when Edward silenced him.

"There's someone in the kitchen here to see you." He whispered.

Jack nodded his head in understanding as he made his way over to the kitchen.

"Edward who was that?" Asked Ana focusing on fixing dinner.

"Oh it was someone who made a wrong turn." He yelled back over the railway.

"Oh okay." Replied Ana.

Jack looked back at Edward.

"Don't worry." Assured Edward motioning him forward.

As Jack continued on he heard the girl start singing.

As Ana started cutting she looked out the window and saw a cliff far off in the distance. Looking at the cliff made her remember the lookout and Jack.

Without knowing, Ana just started singing the 1st song that came into her mind.

I don't know why, but I'm feelin' so sad

Jack stopped in his tracks, "I know tha song!" He whispered as he took another look at the girl who had her back turned on him.

"Could it be...?" He asked anxiously growing excited and curious at the same time.

I long to try something I've never had

Never had no lovin

Never had no kissin

Lover Man, oh where can u be?

The night is cold and I'm all alone

I'd give my soul just to call you my own

Got a moon above me

But no one to love me

Lover Man, oh where can you be?

I've heard it said that the thrill of romance could be like a heavenly dream

I go to bed with a prayer

That you make love to me

Strange as it seems

Someday we'll met and you'll dry all my tears

And whisper sweet little things in my ear

A huggin and a kissin

Oh what we've been missin'

Lover man oh where can you be?

Jack joined her softly singing just to where she could hear him.

"Lover man, where can you be?"

Ana spun around quickly causing a plate to fall crashing into many pieces.

"Hello luv." He greeted smirking.

A/N: There u go! What you've all been waiting for...well sorta, but anyways for right now until the next chapter See Ya!
