AT TIA DALMA'S…
"Barbosa?" Will said in disbelief as the supposedly dead pirate took another bite from his apple.
"You're supposed to be dead!" Elizabeth shouted. Will was now staring at Pintel and Ragetti who were trying to shrink behind him.
"You two!" Barbosa bellowed. Ragetti and Pintel flinched as their former Captain advanced on them. "How dare you sail under the colors of Mr. Turner! And Miss Turner, now is it? Why are you dressed in such away? No need for you to pass for a man when you have a bodice such as that."
"Sorry Captain Barbosa, but they sort of, just stumbled upon us. Mr. Turner 'ere was runnin' wit Captain Sparrow's crew when we appeared off the 'orizon." Pintel's explanation was true, but Barbosa didn't care either way.
"How did you survive Jack's bullet?" Gibbs asked curiously.
Barbosa turned and motioned towards Tia Dalma, "She is a voodoo priestess, is she not? They can do many things. Bringing a man back to life such as me, wasn't that hard."
"How are we going to find Jack?" Will finally spoke as he pushed Ragetti and Pintel away from him.

BACK IN WISCONSIN…2006
She would never run away, ever, Becca thought as she walked solemnly down the street. She glanced over her shoulder and saw a group of guys walking behind her. Great, just what I need now. "Go away Harley and eave me alone," She told them without even stopping.
"Now, come on Bec. It's not our fault that she ran away. You know that."
"She didn't run away!" This time Becca spun on the boys. She wasn't planning on smacking right into them. Harley grabbed her by the arms to keep her from falling. "She's gone missing! She never would've left like that!"
"Jeez, relax Bec."
"Stop calling me that you ponce!" Harley frowned and let go of Becca's arms. She stumbled and fell back. She braced herself to hit pavement, but suddenly she was falling and fast. She turned to see what edge she fell off, and all she saw was trees and water. Houses came into view, then candles. She braced herself as she hit the water…hard.

TIA DALMA'S…
"Did you 'ear that?" Ragetti asked Will. Will nodded and turned to the door. Gibbs pulled out his gun. Pintel grabbed a nearby bottle to use as a weapon, but it was yanked from his grasp by an angry Tia Dalma.
Will took out his sword and continued on his way. Cotton's parrot flew by quickly, squawking "Don't eat me! Don't eat me!" Will shook his head and continued. He could hear splashes now. He jumped down to the dock and brandished his sword at the water. No one was there.
Suddenly, someone gasped as they surfaced from the water behind the surmised pirates. She clung to the pier as she shivered, "Cold, cold, very cold." Will tilted his head in confusion. He pointed his sword at her and she finally looked up. "Oh, um, hi?"
"Who are you?" Gibbs demanded. He aimed his pistol at her and she raised an eyebrow.
She heaved herself onto the deck and wrung out her hair. She pulled some of the fabric from her shirt away from her body and twisted it until the water was gone. She felt something on her neck and jumped when she saw it was sword. Standing, she slapped it away from her. "What the hell? Are you guys from the Stone Age or something?" She was mad that no one cared she just fell hard into ice cold water in, what it looked like, the Bayou. Gibbs prodded her shoulder with his gun. She glared at him. "Seriously, swords and pistols with gun powder, ever hear of semi-automatics and baseball bats?"
"She's downright mad!" Ragetti whispered, taking a step back. He made the sign of the cross over his chest and whimpered slightly.
"Don't make me come over there," She sneered.
Will took a step forward and the newcomer leaned away. "What is your name?"
"What's yours?"
"William Turner. Your turn."
"Rebecca Hopkins."
"Well, Miss Hopkins, mind tellin' us what you're doin' 'ere?"
"I would, except I don't know myself. You guys dress funny." The crew exchanged glance and Elizabeth sneered. "Jeez, who's funeral?" The crew's faces dropped, "Oh, oops, sorry. Didn't think anyone really died. I just lost someone too. One minute she was there, the next, poof…gone like the wind. I want to find her so bad. I thought I was going insane for a while back home. I kept getting weird letters in the mail, on the internet. They had Help Me and World's End all over them, and a name…what was I again…?"
"What's going on over there?" Barbosa bellowed. Jack the monkey jumped onto Becca's shoulder and she smiled.
"Well, aren't you cute?" She ruffled the top of his head and watched as he jumped back to Barbosa. "Right, the name…James, John, Jerry…"
"Jack?" Ragetti asked.
"That's it! Jack! Jack Sparrow!"
Will lowered his weapon, "You know Jack?"
"Nope. I just kept getting those weird letters, remember?"
Tia Dalma grinned. "She will help you on your way to World's End. The girl she lost is in it's presence."
