Jack was sitting on the steps looking out to sea as the ship moved through completely still waters at top speed. He enjoyed the smell of the ocean and the feel of the wind in his hair, as Gibbs came his way and sat down besides him.
"Captain, we need to know if we're on the right course" Gibbs informed him.
"Well, let's see shall we?" Jack smiled as he drew out the compass and opened it. "Well, slightly northeast but we're heading in the right direction as a whole"
"Aye Captain" Gibbs saluted and stood up. He turned to face Jack once more with a curios look on his face. "How is it that you can make the compass work now Captain?"
"It's just a matter of knowing what you want most in this world and not being afraid of admitting it to yourself mate" Jack chuckled softly.
"And what would that be Captain, if you don't mind me asking?" Gibbs inquired.
"Right now what I want most is the kid back where he belongs" Jack stated.
"But why….?" Gibbs trailed of.
"Come on mate" Jack smiled sadly. "Not even you are that blind, eh?"
"Miss Elizabeth" Gibbs nodded in understanding.
"Aye" Jack confirmed. "What I want most is to see her happy, and right now that means finding her son, which again means finding whelp senior savvy? As such the compass knows where to lead me"
"But why wouldn't it do the same for her?" Gibbs inquired.
"Yes, I thought that was an interesting development" Jack admitted with a sparkle in his eyes. "And if I'm right things are about to get even more interesting once the kid is back where he belongs"
