*Jacqueline looked thoughtfull at the man holding the gun, Clarion. Her eyes narrowed at his words and looked at the others in the company.*Yer may not be a pirate...sir. But I could be very mistaken if not to recognize yer captain as a pirate! So the rule of parley does go for him and in that case I have no bussiness to do with you." *Jacqueline sharply replied. Cocky she continued when Clarion continued to question her aswell.* "Well, now then. Hasn't your mother tought you any manners? You should know better than to ask a lass her name before introducing yourself!" *Was Jacqueline's simple reply. She didn't answer the question, nor did she ask her "company" to introduce themselves. She decided to let them do the maths...Perhaps the captain has more brains and manners, she thought.The one that kept making comments on her possible use for them was beginning to get on her nerves. Quickly she decided to ignore him alltogether since that would most likely work best. If they thought she would cook for them they were seriously mistaken. *

:Jack put a hand on Rose's shoulder. The last thing he wanted was for her to begin a fight. He spun himself around, turning Rose with him and headed towards the docks:
"The ship's being repaired....we're leaving in two days.....enjoy land while you can..."He watched as the hired help began basic repairs on the ship. Nothing major. Replacing worn ropes, nailing in loose planks...mending some of the sails. He surveyed the repair job thoughtfully, hoping it'd finish quickly so they could be on their way:

*Tobbs had been searching for Jack around Tortuga. She was worried, anxious, something was wrong and she could feel it. Those dots she saw in the distance were getting closer it seemed.
She found Jack with Rose and a few others. Coming up behind them, so they wouldnt notice her, she noticed there was Carrie again, and others she recognized not.
Their conversation made her anger build with a bit 'o jealousy, and she smiled proudly when Rose spoke coldly to Carrie. Tobbs forgot all her anxiety for the moment when Jack and Rose left. Drawing her dagger up, she went from behind Carrie and swerved to face her, the dagger pointing at her stomach lightly, barely recognized but by Carrie.*
Alright lass, don't let me be warnin' ye again. Me thinks he has all the admirers he needs without yellin' it to 'im!If ye be careful 'bout yer words, we wouldn't be in this 'ere predecciement, savvy? So, be careful...
*With that, she swiftly left, not forgetting to nod respectfully to the others present. She went off after Jack, her back turned to Carrie and her anxiety of the day returning.*

*Elizabeth smiled up at Will as he hugged her and told her she could tell him anything. She blushed and looked down like a not so innocent child who's just taken something and hidden it. When Abby announced dinner, she decided she'd tell Will after dinner when they were alone later.
When she came down, she saw Will was gone, and was told by Abby he'd been off somewhere, she sighed worriedly and sat down to eat, smiling at the twins as they gulped down their meal. She nodded her head to Sarah, trying to tell her without words that perhaps a walk would be a good thing to do after dinner. *

Rose made a noise of protest as Jack steered her towards the Pearl, then sighed. "Hope she's seaworthy again soon...can't wait t' get off this bloody island," she mutters in annoyance, casting a sideways glance towards Carrie and the others.
In doing so, she catches a glimpse of Tobbs behind them. "Hey, mate," Rose greets her friend cheerfully. "'ear that girl back there?" she asks in a slightly lowered tone.

Saber picked up Kats hat and clothes. They had been lying near an ally. "Emma I have a really bad feeling about this. You and I both know that Kat has alot of enemies. I saw it personally in Dantes. Come on." she turned and started running towards the Pearl. Making sure she marked where the ally had been. "I could see that there had been a scuffle. It showed in the dirt on the street." She had a worried look on her face. "There looked to be more than we could hanndle. I may be reckless but im not stupid. Were gonna need some help." She raced along and finally the Pearl came into sight. "Jack! Jack!" Saber yelled almost out of breath. "I need your help, Kat...shes gone." Saber was breathing heavily it was a bit hard to understand her. "I dont think she went on her own free will either." Saber said. "Do ya think a bit of the crew might come, and give a hand?" Meanwhile Kat had been roughly pulled to her feet and tied to a pole that supported the roof of that sorry escuse for a room. About 6 men were in the room and she recognized every last one of them. They all had hired her at one time or another to do a "Job" In fact the man who had hierd her to Kill Tod Jenkins was there."To bad my little scheam ta get ya in Dantes didnt work. Then you could have hanged by the law." He said with a sneer and spit on her face. "As it is now we can have the enjoyment of doing it ourselves." Kat growled through the gag. "Your gonna wish that ye had hanged in Dantes, Kat." the man said. "It would have been alot less painful. Oh and your little sister Saber is gonna wish she had never rescued you." He said with a bit of a smirk.Kat just stared at the man. How did he know about Saber?The man laughed at Kats suprised look "Oh yes we know about Saber, and shes gonna pay for messing things up." He laughed cruely. Kat began to struggle wildly. They could do anything they liked to her...but they were not going to hurt Saber. A knife pressed against her throat and Kat had to stand still, but her mind and heart were racing.

:Jack gave Rose a sideways glance, a glitter of pride in his eyes, then he turned to greet Tobbs: "Have a good time?" He asked her, guessing she'd heard Carrie's comment from the flicker in her eyes, he laughed and put a hand to her cheek, in welcome: "Don't start any fights Tobbs....best to save that fight for something else...."
:He whirled around as Saber came running up, and he listened to her, before she was finished his sword was drawn and he nodded: "Point the way mate...."

Rose looks at Saber in surprise and concern. "Saber, mate, what's wrong?" She listens to what the girl has to say, biting her lip. At length, she adds, "Well, that's not good...ye can count on me t' 'elp get 'er back, mate...any idea where she might be?"

Saber caught her breath. "Aye I have an idea where she be, follow me." She led the small band through the streets of Tortuga until she came to the ally. "I found her things here, and it looks as if she was dragged down this way." Saber said squatting down and looking at the ground. She stood up and started down the dark ally cotinueing to look at the ground. "They left such a good trail dragging her like that." Saber commented. Soon she stopped at a door in one of the walls of the ally. "The marks end 'ere. So Im guessin' that she be in there." Saber said with a whisper.

:Jack.....always one of directness whenever possible decided quite quickly now was not the time to be sneaky. Instead he just drew his pistol, took one step away from the door, and made all the appearance of getting ready to creep inside:
:Instead he kicked the door open, his eyes taking a quick glance around the room, before landing on the man nearest to Kat. He fired, hitting the man in the chest, then fired once at the man nearest to him, before drawing his sword, and making a run for Kat:
:He gave a quick slice, and cut her ropes, then looked around, waiting for anyone to attack him or one of the others. Just let them try...he waited, crouched, ready to spring:

Kat was standing as still as she could while on of the men drew his knife across her neck. a bit of blood fell from the small cut he inflicted. Kats eyes were filled with hate and maybe a bit of fear. Then all of a sudden the door broke down and someone came flying into the room. Two shots rang out and her bonds were cut before Kat realized it was Jack. Quickly she pulled off the gag and flicked both her wrists. Now she was armmed with her two best knives. Quickly she set upon one of the men killing him. She noted as Saber came in and gave her a thankful look "What took you so long?" she said jokingly. Saber was surprised when Jack just kicked open the door and rushed in. But she followed suit, and wounded a man with her sword. "Oh shut up Kat, your lucky I came back at all." Saber said grinning. The men who had took Kat were really all in all cowards, and they just about gave up when their leader was shot by Jack. They contiued to fight because they knew they would die otherwise, but they knew it was hopeless.

*Tobbs smiled at Rose, then at Jack*
That might be a bit 'ard, not to fight...ah well, duellin' isn't killin', is it?
*She grinned once again, then suddenly, Saber ran up and reported Kat's disappearance. Drawing her sword, she barged forward behind Jack, and soon they were in a room with many men around them. Now she focused on helping those she knew.
First she turned to Jack, aye, twas an instinct she'd grown over the three years since their voyage. Seeing him fine at the moment, her attention went to Rose, who also seemed to have control of things. Then twas Saber and Kat. They looked fine as well. Alright, twas time to fight!
The clash of metal was heard. She thrust her sword forward, a determined grin on her face. Who these men were and what Kat was doin' with them was a mystery, she'd have to ask the two later. Someone dashed through the door to her right. Sighing, she barged after him, making sure he didnt escape her view. But before she ran after him in the alley, she winked at Jack and Rose before leaping out into the fresh air, hoping they knew she'd be fine for the time.
She chased after him as fast as she could, and before the other knew it, he was pinned against the wall, the edge of her sword to his throat.*
What be yer name lad? The other man grimaced as he felt the cold blade dig in*
"J..jjj...Jenkins, Patrick Jenkins!"
Dont be lyin' to me matey! That better be it!
"It is it is!"
Alright then, mester Jenkens, what be yer business wit' that lass?
It was silent. She pressed the blade further in, making a short gasp escape as he closed his eyes. Suddenly, he smiled...a smile she'd remember for a long time to come...then he spoke those eerie words, sending shivers up her spine.
"Tobbs, isn't it?"
Yes...
"Hmm...Pity. I would've loved bein' introduced to you by your brother, but I'm afraid he's all...tied up, at the moment..."
*She slammed him against the wall.*
Whats the meanin' of this? Me brutter is dead! Dont need to be remindin' me!
"Or is he?"
*She glanced at him suspiciously* What are you sayin?
*He opened his eyes and laughed mockingly.* "I'll have to tell you later, I'm late."
*Without having time to respond, Tobbs felt somethin' slam against her head. She fell to the ground dizzy, her heasd spinning and her eyes off focus, but she was able to look up and see the man scurry off with three others. She took out her dagger and through it in the air, it landing right into one of their shoulders. But he didn't stop, and they were soon out of sight. Sighing, she got up wobbily and headed back to the room, hoping the others were alright.*

:Jack watched the others run, and he leapt out the door after them, firing a single shot, it hit one of the men's arms and he growled, deciding to tend to his own for now. He rushed forward and held Tobbs up:
"Are you alright?" He demanded, looking for any injuries. yes....he'd become protective. He was with his crew, but Tobbs...he looked fiercly down the ally, ready to run after them, finally he just growled and held onto Tobbs:
"Come on....back to the Pearl......" He looked at Kat: "if they show their faces near you again mate, you tell me....I'll take care o' it..yer part of the Pearl now....and even if the Code says "every man for themself" well...I crew can do what they will.but I won't have anyone hurtin' me crew....savvy?" He gave her a grin. "Besides....we've spent a long time trying to find you.....would be a shame to loose you....savvy?"
:with that he looked over at Rose, held out his hand to her, and began walking back to the docks. Tortuga was a rough place to be right now. They'd all be safer on the ship for hte time being:

Rose Glassman
Rose had come into battle sword slashing everything in sight, delighted to be in a good fight again. She'd gotten one man and wounded two before Jack and the others pulled back. Pulling back along with them, she exited, looking at Saber and Tobbs in concern. "You two in one piece? Tobbs, mate, you all right?"
After getting assurance that her friend was all right, Rose turned to Jack, looking him over before taking his hand and smiling ruefully. "Yes, Tortuga's always like this...'least, it was when I was growin' up...couldn't set a foot outside without bein' attacked, hit on, or gettin' in the middle of a fight..." She shakes her head, remembering her rough childhood. "Not th' best place t' grow up, Tortuga..."

Emma watched the men run off,wiping her sword clean on her shirt.It had been white once,but a bit more blood wouldn't hurt it now...
She turned to Kat."You all right,mate?"As far as she could tell,Kat was unhurt;there was a small cut on her throat,barely deep enough to draw blood.But it never hurt to check.She sheathed her blade and followed Saber out into the streets."so...where do we go now?" she asked."I believe you had been saying something about me sailin' with you all..."
