Drabble: Sin of the Father (Part 4)
Jack seated himself at the bar again, doing his best to ignore the look of death he was receiving from young mister Turner. He finally rolled his eyes when he felt the blade of a sword rest against his neck.
"You don't want to be doin' that, Mate," Jack said then waved the blade away. He knew Will would never harm him; the lad was too much like his father.
"Perhaps you don't know me as well as you would like to think," Will replied. Jack looked over and smirked at him.
"What's a lil trinket anyway, Mate? Seems to me I did you a favor, really," Jack said.
"A favor?" Will asked, almost dumbfounded by his logic. Jack spun towards him and nodded while waving his hand towards him.
"Had business in Port Royal. If our honorable Commodore would have found me wandering about, he would have been questioning you and your bonny lass, savvy? That little trinket gave me the money I needed to be on me way," he said then went back to his drink.
"That little trinket," Will said through clenched teeth. "Is Elizabeth's engagement ring."
Jack sniggered to him self then looked at Will solemnly.
"Seems I really did you a favor then, aye?" He said.
"Captain Jack Sparrow…" Jack's eyes widened at the voice that was coming from behind him.
'Bloody hell,' he thought then turned to greet Elizabeth who was now standing there looking less than pleased to see him.
"Oh good, we're all here!" He said loudly and threw his hands in the air. "Drink all around, on me father." Nigel remained silent, waiting to see who would take the first swing at his son.
'Might be best if I start usin' a new name,' he thought to himself. Jack's smirk faded instantly as Elizabeth snatched Will's blade and held it up to his throat.
"Where is it?" She asked. Jack's widened eyes never left the blade.
"Seems I might have…misplaced it…as it where," he said slowly.
"I don't care how you get it back, but you will, Mister Sparrow. Or I will personally turn you over to the commodore…savvy?" Jack nearly recoiled at her words. She was perhaps more frightening than any pirate he'd ever come across.
"What did you say yer name was, love?" Nigel asked. All three looked at him and if Jack could have kicked him without impaling himself, he would have.
"Might pick a better time to chat up the lasses, eh?" Jack asked sarcastically. Nigel simply grinned at Elizabeth then looked at Jack.
"Any lass that looks that good and can be puttin' you in yer place, is my kinda woman," he said. Elizabeth just stared at him in near disbelief for a moment before looking at Will.
"He's Jack's father," he explained.
"Charming," she said sarcastically.
"Watch the blade, love," Jack said nervously. Elizabeth turned back to Jack and glared.
"Right then, suppose we should be finding that ring of yours, eh?"
