Grovington: Shameless Lieutenants
Jack swayed up to the door unconcernedly and was ushered in before he could even knock.
"Jack! What are you doing here?" Elizabeth greeted.
"Nice te see ye too luv." Jack merely grinned.
"You can't saunter around here in daylight Jack! The Commodore's out for your blood! He's been cursing you every chance he gets. Muttering things about bloody pirates, hangings and shameless Lieutenants." Jack raised an eyebrow at that.
"That's James fer ye." Jack shrugged.
"This is serious Jack! He's most dangerous when he's jealous."
"Jealous of what exactly?" Jack looked confused now.
"Of you and his shameless Lieutenant...Groves I believe the name was. He supposedly admires you and James has had enough of it." Elizabeth informed.
"So our fine Commodore sails the other way then?" Jack grinned again with good humor.
"It certainly seems that way, and it's best you don't do anything to instigate him Jack." Elizabeth glared warningly.
"Me, instigate 'im? Ye got me all wrong Lizzy." Jack said casually.
Shouts and thundering footsteps were heard outside as Lieutenant Gillette and a good number of red coats ran down the street. Jack and Elizabeth both froze momentarily.
"That was brilliant how he snuck into port." A praising voice was heard passing by.
"That's enough about that damned pirate!"Another angrier voice said also passing by.
"I should probably be on me way then." Jack said lifting a finger on his way out.
