The crew of both ships woke early the next morning. Barbossa, Will, Gibbs, Elizabeth, Captain Jezzree, and Ewing met on the dock in front of the Streak to disscuss plans.

"Who Norrington be workin' for?" Captain Jezzree asked.

"Eastern Trading Company," Gibbs answered.

"Pop," she said to Gibbs, "from now on yeh captain of the Arrow. Pick whoever yeh want teh be yer mate."

"Wait here," Brabossa began," I'm captain of the Arrow."

"Not anymore that I'm commodore. Yeh stayin' on the Streak with me. I want ter keep an eye on yeh."

"Now, Commodore, yeh know I would never do what I did ter Jack ter yeh." His smirk said why.

Commodore Jezzree gave him an icy glare and he knew better than to say anything else.

"Here's yeh partin the plan," she continued. " There's a secret bay on the outskirts o' Port Royal. Get the ships there 'n' I'll go into Port Royal 'n' get the heart. Do some fishin' while yeh waitin' fer me. It's a long voyage 'n' we won't met too many ships ter..borrow from. If everything goes right, they'll be no spillin' o' blood."

"How are you getting the heart?" Will asked.

Commodore Jezzree smirked. "Now yer only concerne is that I get the heart."

"Let it go," Captain Gibbs whispered to him."Jezzree works best when we don't know what she's workin at."

Will shrugged it off. He wouldn't admitt it, but Commodore Jezzree scared him a bit.

"Savvy, mates?" Commodore Jezzree asked. "Good let's set sail."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was mid-afternoon when they reached the bay, which was surrounded on three sides by high, steep, cliff walls. Jezzree walked out on deck, taking in the familar scene. She, Jack, Ewing, Barbossa, and Miranda would come here everyday when they were just a gang of street kids. Then they were the best of friends. Hector Barbossa had run away from his wealthy lifestyle at the age of eight and met up with Jack and Miranda, who had escaped from the creul orphanage a few months earlier. Jack and Miranda introduced Barbossa to Jezzree and Ewing, cousins whose guardian, Gibbs, was a pirate that was often on voyages, leaving them to fend for themselves, which they didn't mind a bit.

Everyday they would comb their gang territory on the western side of Port Royal for members of enemy gangs, beat up trasspassers, steal what they needed, and swin and fish in the bay. Jack and Jezzree were the unchallenged leaders, and, even then, in love.

They lived like that for nine years untill one day when they went to the bay to swim they discovered the Black Pearl and its original owner, a pirate who accepted the eager teens as crewmates.

Jack had turned to Jezzree when he saw the Pearl and said, "I'm gonna be captain of that ship right there."

"I'm sure, Jack." Jezzree laughed. "And I'll have the fastest ship in the world."

"Second only to the Black Pearl," he answered as he climbed aboard.

A single teardrop made it's way down Jezzree's cheek. Luckily no one noticed. She walked to the edge of the bow spirit and jumped for the cliff wall. She slid down a few feet before finding footholds. She began the climb up the steep wall.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jezzree crouched down on the rooftop, scanning the streets untill she spotted James Norington walking briskly toward the docks. She also noticed Blaze hiding in an alley up ahead, waiting to mug an unsuspecting passerby. Blaze had been the leader of an enemy gang when she was a streetkid. Jezzree smiled. This was going better than she had originally planned.

She leaped from roof to roof and slinked into the alley behind Blaze and his gang. When Norrington appeared, Blaze and Co. ambushed him and dragged him into the alley.

Jezzree came out of hiding. "Thank yeh boys. Now, yeh may go," she ordered. Blaze gazed at her and absentmindedly rubbed the pale white scar he had recieved once after disobeying Jezzree. He signaled to his gang and the scurried out the alley.

Jezzree smiled. "Long time no see, James. I miss our friendly little chats.

"If it isn't Captain Jezzree - I see your still a Gibbs," he replied, glancing at her left hand, which was missing her engagment ring.

"Yeh would know all about lost love," Jezzree hissed. "Elizabeth leavin' yeh fer a bloody pirate. Musta been some blow ter yeh reputation."

"At least I was willing to marry a woman of proper breeding. Your Jack Sparrow has the bloodlines of a mutt."

"Yeh take after yeh father, I take after mine." Jezzree leaned against the wall and studied the man up and down. "Seriously, the only thing we have in common is our mother."

"I suspect you didn't leave the comfort of your ship to exchange plesantries."

"What does Beckett want with the heart?"

Norrington laughed. "I would just as soon betray my superiors to you as you would send Sparrow to the gallows."

"Yeh owe me, James."

He sighed and thought, Like you would let me forget. "For now, he wants me to get a pirate crew and use the heart to retrieve Sparrow."

Jezzree snorted. "Why should Beckett care what happens ter Jack?"

"He has use for him."

"What kind of use?"

"I don't know."

"Yeh have a new set of orders. After yeh get a crew in Tortuga meet up with me 'n' the three of us will set sail together. Savvy?"

"The three of us?"

"Me crew, yer crew, and Pop's crew. Oh, did I forget to mention that Elizabeth was with us. If I where you mate, I'd jump on this chance," Jezzree sugested. Norrington's face gave way that that was just what he planned to do. Jezzree smiled as she climbed up to the roof. She had no doubts Norrington would show up. Convincing the others was another matter entirely.
