Part 6
"Tell me what happened...," Pearl
whispered.
"Later," Jack grunted. "I have to get
you out of here," He put his hands on the bars of the window and
pulled as hard as he could. They wouldn't budge.
"We need
some rope...," He said feeling his pockets. He pulled out a long
piece of rope and tied it around one of the bars. He then pulled as
hard as he could. With some luck the bar broke off and landed with a
splash in the water.
"I'm on a boat?" Said Pearl. "I
thought i was on land...,"
"Yer on a boat alright,"
Said Jack... He did the same with the other bars which were keeping
Pearl inside and he put his head through. "I'll save you
sweetheart," He kissed her lips.
This made Pearl feel a
little better..."But," She stuttered. "I won't be able
to get out of that window...,"
"Of course you will..."
Jack reached for Pearl's waist and pulled her through the tiny
window, she just about made it. They carefully slid into the water
and swam towards a nearby spit of land, they made no
sound.
Meanwhile the two men
who locked Pearl up were opening the door which they thought Pearl
was still behind. It swung open...
"Where is she?"
Shouted the fat man to the other man.
The other man pointed to the
window with the missing bars. The two of them walked towards
it.
"Well, well, well, our little princess has escaped,"
The fat man laughed harshly. "She'll be sorry she did that..."
