Drabble: Sins of the Father (Part 5)
"If you would just tell us who has her ring we could be on our way," Will said in exasperation as he followed Jack across the crowded pub. Jack rolled his eyes in frustration and finally turned to the whelp that was tagging along behind him.
"Wouldn't do you any good, mate. Sold that ring long before I got to Tortuga," he smirked.
"Then who are you looking for?" Will demanded.
"Someone who owes me money," Jack replied with a grin that quickly faded, "...and who hasn't met me father yet." Jack stood surveying the room and saw a rather large man being pointed in his direction.
'Bloody hell, not again.' Jack took a look around as the scallywag charged over towards them.
"Jack Sparrow?" He growled. Jack gave an inconspicuous nod in Will's direction. The young blacksmith glanced at Jack in total confusion and then felt a fist connect with his face, knocking him backwards onto a table.
"Next time it'll be my pistol," the man threatened and then staggered off. Jack smirked smugly at his long lost friend and sauntered a bit closer.
"That," he said with a wicked grin, and pointed at Will. "Was for the oar." Will furrowed his brow in total confusion and then remembered the time he had knocked Jack unconscious on the Isle De Muerta so that he could free Elizabeth from Barbossa's men.
"So now we're even?" He asked sarcastically as he stood to face him again.
"Square," Jack corrected.
"Square?" Will asked. Jack rolled his eyes again and sighed inwardly.
"Now we're square," Jack explained. "Don't you think it would be in everyone's best interest if you were watching over young Miss Swann?" Jack asked sarcastically, hoping to rid himself of the boy. Will gave him a suspicious look. He knew Jack well enough to know that if he left him alone he would sneak away and they would never have Elizabeth's ring returned to them.
"I left her with your father," Will answered. Jack's eyes widened and he took off back across the pub in a hurry.
"He won't harm her, will he?" Will asked as he followed quickly, alarmed by Jack's sudden rush.
"It's not her I'm worried about, mate."
A/N: I was bored so I updated this. I will also be updating "Lost in Translatation" soon as well. I will be going into the hospital for my high dose chemo and stem cell transplant soon (hopefully the week of May 22nd) and I wanted to update most of my work before hand. I will be in the hospital for about a month so I probably won't be updating much, if at all, during that time. For any Will/Elizabeth fans, I wrote a short song fic (minus the lyrics, thanks to fanfiction. net policy) called "My Last Breath." (Song belongs to Evanescence) There is character death, not for anyone looking for a laugh. Thanks so much for reading...
