Gunshots, screams and women's laugher filled the air. In one of the popular bars of Tortuga, it was just as noisy as ever. Men so drunk they can hardly see straight and Women selling themselves for any profit they could make no matter how small. This is where our "heroes" now were. Nikki and her husband Jack were both sitting in chairs next to a planet against one of the wall. A few inches in front of them Gibbs sat at one of the table with a sheet of paper in front of him. He was to write down the names of the "new crewmembers", the truth was these were the people who were going to be given to Davy Jones. Poor drunken souls they had no idea what was waiting for them. Jack pulled out his compass and snapped it open. He looked at it a second before shaking the compass.
"I know what I want." Jack mumbled to himself. Jack sighed and put the compass back. Nikki looked over at Jack.
"Are ye sure about this Jack?" Nikki mumbled to Jack as she watches Gibb interview man after man after man.
"I'm sure love." Jack said smirking putting an arm around her shoulders. "Don't worry, if any of these men try anything to you. I'll kill them in a heart beat."
"No Jack, if they try anything I'll beat them up. We need these pathetic souls…" Nikki glared at the drunken men eyeing her up, "…so that yours can be saved." Nikki kiss Jack gently, she was about to pull away when Jack pulled her closer deepening the kiss. The two only pulled part when they heard a drunken yell. They both looked and saw a man with dirty brown hair, a dirty face and a dirty navy uniform. He looked like he's been sleeping in mud. Wait a second navy uniform?
"Norrington?" Nikki and Jack whispered in surprised as the two grabbed a branch from the planet and hide their faces behind the leaves.
"What's he doing here?" Nikki whispered to Jack as she peaked though the branches at Norrington who was talking to Gibbs. Norrington seemed drunk because he was swaying in place where he was standing.
"I'm not sure love." Jack said, the two of them tried to sneak away, but Norrington spotted the two of them and pulled out a gun.
"Maybe I should just kill you now." Norrington said pointing the gun at the two. Jack pulled Nikki behind one of the poles that held up the ceiling in the center of the room.
"You're hired!" Jack yelled not wanting to get shot by the crazy ex-solider.
"Sorry, old habits and all." Norrington said taking the gun away from pointing at the two. All of a sudden one man yells something at Norrington and almost gets shot. A fight breaks out soon after.
"Time to go?" Jack yells to Gibbs, Gibbs nods yelling "Aye!" The three ran over to the staircase in the back of the bar. Jack ducked all of a sudden and Nikki saw a rum bottle hit the wall where his head once was. Jack smiles and continues to walk up the stairs with Nikki and Gibbs following behind him.
"One moment." Jack said stopping two men who was holding another man by the arms between them. Jack plucked the hat off the man in the middle. "Carry on." The two men then though the guy over the railing. The three continued to someone came out of one of the rooms. Jack took the hat off the guys head and replaced it with the one he just took. "Thanks mate." Jack slapped the man on the shoulder and he too fell off the balcony. Nikki faintly heard the music stop as the three existed the bar.
Nikki: A new crew. Poor souls they don't know what they're in for. Jack keeps staring at his compass and cursing at it. Hopefully we find our way soon. Next time- Pointing the way.
