Legolas awoke with a groan the next day. Lifting a hand to his head and standing up, the Elf saw some burnt ships in the Port.

Haldir, Denethor, and several soldiers were pouring over a map when Legolas ran up to them.

"They've taken him. They've taken Boromir." Legolas said to them.

"Mr. Faramir, remove this Elf." Haldir said, not even bothering to look up. Faramir moved to one side of Legolas and attempted to grab his arm.

"We have to hunt them down. We must save him." Legolas shook Faramir's arm off.

"And where do you propose we start?" Denethor walked up to the Elf. "If you have any information concerning my son, please share it." Legloas looked down.

"That Aragorn Ellassar." Everyone turned to look at Faramir. "He talked about the Black Pearl."

"Mentioned it is more what he did." Eomer cut in.

"Ask him where it is." Legolas said to Haldir who had turned to look at the map again. "Make a deal with him. He could lead us to it."

"No." Haldir sighed. "The pirates who invaded this fort left Ellassar locked in his cell, ergo they are not his allies." A look of anger crossed Legolas' porcelain face. "Governor, we will establish their most likely course." Faramir tried to grab Legolas again.

"That's not good enough!" Legolas yelled angrily as he slammed his axe into the table and map. Haldir looked down at the axe imbedded in the table and map.

"Mr. Greenleaf, you are not a military man." Haldir pulled the axe out of the table and began to walk around the table. "You are not a sailor." Haldir stopped in front of the younger Elf. "You are a blacksmith." Haldir grabbed Legolas and pulled him away. "And this is not the moment for rash actions. Do not make the mistake of thinking you're the only Elf here that cares for Boromir."

Aragorn was trying to pick the lock with a piece of bone. He stopped abruptly when the door opened. He fell backwards moment before Legolas stopped in front of his cell, panting slightly.

"You. Ellassar."Legolas panted.

"Aye." Aragorn said.

"You are familiar with that ship. The Black Pearl." Legolas said.

"I've heard of it." Aragorn looked towards the roof though still keeping his eyes on Legolas.

"Where does it make berth?" Legolas demanded.

"Where does it make berth?" Aragorn said shocked. "Have you not heard the stories?" Aragorn looked at the Elf. "Captain Barbossa and his crew of miscreants sail from the dreaded Isla de Muerta. It's an island that cannot be found, except by those who already know where it is." Aragorn smirked.

"The ship's real enough. Therefore its anchorage must be a real place. Where is it?" Legolas demanded.

"Why ask me?" Aragorn taunted.

"Because you're a pirate." Legolas said irritated.

"And you want to turn pirate yourself, is that it?" Aragorn asked. Legolas grabbed the cell bars and pressed his face towards them.

"Never." He growled angrily. Aragorn looked at his nails waiting for the reason why. After a pause, Legolas released the bars, stepped back, looked down in front of him, and said; "They Mister Boromir."

"Oh!" Aragorn sat up strait with a taunting smile on his face. "So it is you found a boy. I see. Well, if you're intending to be brave all, hasten to his rescue, and so win fair man's heart, you'll have to do it alone, mate." Aragorn looked down. "I see no profit in it for me."

"I can get you out of here." Legolas smirked.

"How's that? The key's run off." Aragorn raised his eyebrow.

"I helped build these cells." Legolas looked at the cell door. "These are half-pin barrel hinges." Legolas pointed to the hinges. Aragorn watched in curiosity as Legolas grabbed a bench. "With the right leverage and the proper application of strength," Legolas propped the bench up against the door, "The door will lift free." Legolas finished.

"What's your name?" Aragorn asked.

"Legolas Greenleaf." Legolas said.

"That would be a substitute for Thranduilion, I imagine." Aragorn said. "Good, strong name. No doubt named for your father."

"Yes." Legolas replied.

"Uh-huh." Aragorn mused. Aragorn stood up. "Well, Mr. Greenleaf, I've changed my mind. If you spring me from this cell, I swear on pain of death. I shall take you to the Black Pearl and your bonny lad. Do we have an accord?" Aragorn held out his hand. Legolas looked at it for a brief second before clasping the human's forearm.

"Agreed." Legolas smiled.

"Agreed," Jack motion towards the door, "Now, get me out." Legolas pushed on the bench and the door sprung free with a loud sound and fell with an even louder crash.

"Hurry. Someone will have heard that." Legolas said as Aragorn stepped out of the cell.

"Not without my effects." Aragorn said as he grabbed his sword, pistol, compass, coat, and hat.
