(Black Pearl)
(Below Deck)
(Cabin)
(Barbossa remained frozen in his chair as a thin blade was placed under his chin)
(This pistol cocked directly at his head)
(He took a deep breath silently cursing himself for letting his guard down)
Grant: Get up
(he ordered)
(Barbossa did so without a word, but rather quickly cutting himself slightly on the blade)
(he slowly turned around so that he was now looking into the barrel of the pistol)
(his eyes darted from the pistol to the four men that surrounded him)
(acknowledging who he would be up against)
Barbossa: Gentlemen, so tell me what has sprung or should I say who has sprung this rather unfortunate event to occur?
(he asked coldly)
(everyone remained silent)
Barbossa: Tia Dalma prehaps? I assue only she would be brave enough to do this
(he said indicating the new set of shackles danging from his wrists)
Gibbs: come on lets take him above
(Gibbs finally spoke telling the others)
(they all nodded simulatiously with serious expressions on their faces)
(while barbossa had a blank expression pasted up on his face the slight hint of a smile playing on his lips was visible)
(his eyes darting from the men towards a desk conviently located next to the door)
(A large hat placed carefully on the center of it)
(however he was not concerned with the hat as to the object that lay hidden underneath his hat)
(he had committed mutiny before and knew all the techniques just in case he slipped up like this time)
(Cotton slowly lowered the gun placing it back into its holder)
(and proceeded to follow closely behind the others)
(Gibbs leading the way)
(Grant following closely after Cotton a carefully sharpened sword in his hand)
(they reached the door and were just about to leave when Barbossa stopped suddenly)
(Cotton banged straight into his causing for his parrot to wake up suddenly)
Parrot: Wa...lkaw the plank
(he squawked rqther loudly)
(Grabt stopped just in time)
(Gibbs spun around looking back confused)
Gibbs: Keep on miving
(he barked)
(Barbossa smiled)
Barbossa: Not without my hat
(he simply stated)
(Gibbs looked at Bootstrap and Grant)
(Bootstrap gave a small nod while Grant shrugged)
Bootstrap: Aye
(he told Barbossa giving a slight nod allowing him to take his hat)
(Barbossa's eyes sparkled at the sound of this but no one noticed this)
(he swept the hat so carefully and with such speed that the object remained safely hidden from the wandering eyes of the four other men)
Gibbs: Good now we best be going
Barbossa: Wait, can i at least be taking me stuff ye never know what Tia might want me to do
(he explained)
Grant: Aye, but we be getting them, you stay here
(he commanded)
(Barbossa nodded)
Barbossa: I be needing everything from this cabin
(he explained)
(no one said anything they just quickly began grabbing things while Cotton stood next to Barbossa watching him incase he tried to escape)
(Barbossa smiled to himself everything was going his way now he just had to wait for the opertune moment to present its self and then the black pearl would be his again)

(Port Royal)
(Laundry room)
(A young maid sat on a small wooden stool)
(her hair neatly tied back and her face soaken in both sweat and steam from the hot bubbly water in the bucket
(either side of her was a pile of clothes one pile was soaking wet while the other was dy and coated with blood and dirt)
(she withdrew the current shirt that was in the bucket squeezing it tightly ridding it off excess water before placing it in a pile with the other wet clothes)
(she sighed as she turned to her left and pulled a pair of black pants from the top of the pile)
(something hard in the pocket hit her as the pants knocked gently against her)
(she frowned at this and with her dripping wet hand she reached into the pocket)
(her hands felt a small wooden box which she presummed was forgotton by its owner)
(she examined the black weathered box in her hand and couldnt help but releasise that it seemed some what familiar)
(she lifted up the lid revealing that it was in fact a compass)
(she stared at the compass watching the needle spin in various directions before finally settling upon one)
Voice: Where did you get that??
(someone asked causing her to jump slightly in shock)
(she turned around slowly a look of worry on her face)
(her eyes trained downwards not wanting to make eye contact with the person who had caught her)
Maid: I...I'm...ter.rribly...sss.sorry..I was jus..stt.
(she stuttered only to be greeted with a warm laugh)
(she looked up her eyes meeting with a pair of light brown ones which were currently sparkling)
(she reconized the owner of the eyes to be young William Turner)
Will: It's ok, where did you find it?
(he asked polietly)
Maid: In here
(she replied indicating the pants as she placed it into Will's palm)
(he reconized it imediantly to be identical to the one Jack owned which was currently upstairs with Elizabeth)
Maid: It was one of the girl's currently living upstairs
(she explained)
(he nodded before flipping open the lid and watching the needle point towards the stairs)
(he was about to close the lid when he noticed large entricant gold lettering on the inside cover of the compass)
(he read the single word aloud)
Will: Abby
(he whispered)
(he looked up before closing the lid and looking up at the maid)
Will: Are their clothes done?
(he asked quickly pocketing the compass)
Maid: Yes other than these black pants but they are not in need of cleaning
(she explained standing up and handing will and pileof dry clothes currently out of sight)
(he bid her a silent thank you before disappearing upstairs in search of Abby and Fifi)
(many questions waiting to be answered ran through his mind)
(and answers he was going to get)
