Jack practically dragged Will off the Pearl. Will had done his normal duties but when he wasn't on deck, he locked himself away in his cabin. Jack thought about ordering him out of his cabin to interact with the crew but he decided to give him so time. Well now since they were not at sea, he was not about to let Will Turner sit about the Pearl while the rest of the crew enjoyed Tortuga. Tortuga was the kind of town that would take your mind off of anything.

As the crew quickly dissipated into the crowds, Jack took Will into a small quiet tavern, well as about as quiet as a tavern in Tortuga could be. Jack found them a table in the corner away from most of the people and ordered a bottle of rum to split between them. Jack poured Will a drink and Will looked up at him and pushed it back to him.

"Drink it boy," Jack ordered him.

"Jack, I appreciate what you are trying to do but I just can't drown my sorrows in rum," Will told him.

"Drink it. It's an order," Jack said looking Will straight in the eye.

"Jack," Will started and stopped as Jack almost slammed it down in front of Will.

Will finally picked it up and drank it all in one shot. "Happy now?"

Jack poured another one to give to Will as another pirate came to the table, "Jack Sparrow and Will Turner. Well good fortune has found us all."

"Do I know ye," Jack asked.

"Aye. I was told about some trade ye be wanted to do with me but ye never showed," the tall pirate told Jack.

"We had an emergency," Jack began. Will stood up he didn't want to hear Jack talk about how he had just lost his wife and child. Anger was starting to build inside of him all over again.

"Will," Jack said.

"I'll meet you back on the Pearl Jack. Don't worry," Will tried to reassure him.

Jack knew better than try and stop him. He could see that the hurt and pain had quickly changing to anger. "Hate to be the unfortunate one that makes him mad tonight," Jack said out loud. The man looked at Jack with a puzzled look.

"Aye," the pirate said watching Will leave and quickly picking up Will's drink, "but fortunate for me."

Will walked around Tortuga. He needed to be alone and he was a little tired of sitting in his cabin alone. The memories of the times with Elizabeth there in the same cabin were still there. It was getting better but he needed this change of scenery. He was avoiding the crowds and while a couple of women sought him out for company, he gracefully declined.

He saw several fights breaking out on the main street so he decided to go down an alleyway. As he rounded the corner, he saw two men grabbing a beautiful girl. She looked like she did not belong in a place like Tortuga. She looked of society not of someone familiar with Tortuga. One of the men had his hand clamped over her mouth and the second man was grabbing her legs. Will could not stand and watch this happen; it was as if he was watching Elizabeth being taking prisoner again. The memories of Pintel and Ragetti leading Elizabeth away before Will himself was knocked unconscious flooded his mind as if just happened. Before Will could even draw his sword, the girl had kicked free and was screaming. One of the men drew a knife and held it to her throat, "better behave now missy or someone will find ye dead in the mornin.'" The girl stopped struggling feeling the blade against her throat. Her look cried out for help searching around but she thought all hope is lost not seeing the handsome pirate in the shadows.
