*Tobbs was putting all she could in front of the hole, trying to keep the sea from washing in. When they spoke of Tortuga, she nodded as Rose spoke.*
"Aye, I aint be wishin' to return to Tortuga, but we cant stand 'ere and let the Pearl sink, after all, we's 'ave no transportation to Port Royale! We must be fixin' this up, and Tortuga be the closest."
*Smiling and nodding, she pondered over all the ideas they said and helped with them quickly, for she knew there was something she was forgetting...*
"Emma, me thinks we'll get there soon, no less then an hour's half! I'll be off to the deck, try a managin' without me fer a few moments!"
*Nodding, she dashed up the stairs and to the wheel, sliding it to a soft yet firm right back to Tortuga.*

Abby heard someone behind her. She turned around quickly and was stunned to find that Sarah had followed her to the Jail. "What are you doin??" Before she could finish her sentence, Abby felt the edge of a cold blade against her neck. She gulped and wondered what had come over Sarah to do this. She and Sarah had always been on good terms though they didn't know each other well.
Sarah pulled her into one of the large boxes then took the knife away as she explained she really wanted to help Abby. Abby stared suspiciously and wondered if she could trust someone who would put a blade to her neck but decided to take the risk. "All right...ye must be very quiet because Master Will is speaking to Captain Jack. We don't want to be discovered do we? Let's listen then we'll follow Master Will wherever he goes. Hopefully he goes back home." Abby looked at Sarah to make sure she understood the plan. The girl was quite different from the others and Abby didn't know what to make of her. Only time would tell if Sarah could be trusted.

*Will listened to what Jack had to say. When Jack put his face closer to Wills, Will did the same. He didn't trust Norringtons men not to keep the words exchanged confidential. Then when Jack talked about the day when Will stood between Norrington, his men and Jack, ready to die for his friend, he lowered his head shamefully. He would do it again in a heart beat, if things were a little different. When Jack started speaking to him again he looked up slowly, a somber look upon his face.* I'll find the Pearl Jack. And when I do I won't let anything happen to Rose, or any of your crew for that matter. You have my word Jack. *Will said, turning to leave. Then he stopped and turned back around, and smiled half-heartedly.* I know you're a good man Jack. I'm going to prove it if I can. *Will said, then walked from the Fort and back towards the docks, hoping with every ounce of his being that Jack truely was the man he thought him to be.*

She tripped on a few stairs on the way down but she was in a hurry. But halway down she saw tobbs come up she only saw **Emma and **Rose there.*
" I can go out and try to patch in in the water. I can swim. beleive me I 've gone overboards too many times." * She looked over to them* " What do you think?"

:Jack watched Will go, and felt something inside of his chest someplace twist:
:He'd seen the flicker of doubt in Will's eyes.....the wondering...Jack sank back in his cel, and honestly couldn't think. For a while....his mind just seemed to be numb with a sort of dull buzzing sound. He watched Will leave, recalling the time Will had explained to him how he'd help build the cels in the Fort:
:He remebered how Will explained the proper use of leverage and pressure.......he frowned and sat down in his cel. Things hadn't improved much since the last time he was here. To bad they had filled in the hole in the Fort's wall from the Pearl's cannons.:
:suddenly he shouted after Will, a note of something like panic in his voice. He didn't want to be left here alone. Not with Norrington's men angry at him for something he didn't do: "How're the kids mates?"

*Will had been walking back towards the docks to wait for the Pearl when he heard Jack shout at him about the kids. He spun around, hearing the uneasy tone in Jacks voice and hurried back over to him, pretty sure of why Jack wanted him to hang around. Will pulled up a barrel and sat down on it in front of Jacks cell. As long as he was there the guards wouldn't do anything to Jack, he'd make sure of it. Even though he wasn't sure what to think at this point he still didn't want to see anything bad happen to the Captain, his only real friend.* They're doing great Jack. They ask about you all the time. I had hoped they'd get to meet you someday, they really want to. Especially James. *Will smiled a little at him although his eyes still showed pain and confusion.* When you get out of here you have to stop by and see them, savvy? *Will said not only to comfort Jack, but to comfort himself as well and give him a little hope. If Jack was innocent Will would do anything in his power to get him out of that cell. Anything.* So Jack, how are things with Tobbs, and the crew?

:Jack looked at the guards quickly, hoping they wouldn't ask Will to leave anytime soon. he smiled a bit when he heard about James asking about him:
"Aye....mabe he'll turn into a pirate like his father..." He grinned at Will a bit. "Catherine...how is she?" When Will asked about Tobbs and the pearl he smiled: "The Caribbean's been a great place to live....I got my freedom back....or had it back...." He amended. "Tobb's......well...I imagine she's as angry as anything right now...seeing as how I'm not within her reach right now.....and I'm sure they'll be on there way.....so can you check for Black sails on the horizon mate?" Suddenly something clicked in the back of his mind and he pulled something wrapped in a bandana and held it out to Will to take:
:Inside were two thin sliver chains. necklaces, with two sliver star charms on them. The charms themselves sparkled, as the were set with pale aquamarine stones.: "The North star...." Jack explained slowly. "A sailor's best friend....in the toughest of nights...." He looked slightly embarassed.
"Got them in ort Dantes...and thought you might like them......had stuff for Elizabeth and you too....but they're on the Pearl..."
:He gave Will a bit of a smile, a ghost of his old smile really. Now his eyes were for the first time showing anxiety:

*Will smiled when Jackmentioned James being a pirate like his dad and then asked about Catherine.* Shes doing fine. *He said softly then listened to what Jack had to say about Tobbs and the Pearl. He laughed a little as it sounded like Tobbs hadn't changed a single bit.* I cant wait to see your crew again Jack, I've missed you all a lot. *He said then watched Jack curiously as he pulled the two necklaces from his bandana and gave them to Will. Will looked at them then smiled up at Jack.* Thanks Jack, they're really nice. *Will was suddenly filled with a huge urge to prove that Jack was innocent. He glanced out at the horizon in hopes of seeing the Pearl, although it wasn't there yet. Then he felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up to see a guard.* Mr. Turner I think you've been here long enough, you need to go now. *The guard said. Will glarred at him and smacked the mans hand from his shoulder. Will remained in his place.* Im not finished here mate so for your own good I'd advise you to let me be. *Will said sternly. The guard just glarred at him and Will turned back around to face Jack and he grinned a little as if to tell Jack he still did stupid things, and probably always would. Then he frowned. He knew he'd have to leave soon.*

:Jack's eyes moved to the guard then Will. He was silent looking at Will, then spoke in a very low voice: "Go mate.....best you be leavin' now....the less your around me.....the better it looks for you, savvy?"
:He knew Will had to look as perfect as possible if he had any hope of getting out of this place. Will and Elizabeth were he only chances in this place.: "Tell Elizabeth I did teachgthat song to me crew......drives 'em mad.....but they sing it..." He smiled a little. "Look for Black Sails mate....."

*Will gave Jack an odd look when he said the less he was around Jack the better it would look for Will. He didn't want to leave Jack/b] by himself but he knew Jack was right. He really had no other choice. He stood up slowly and sighed.* I'll look for them Jack. And I'll tell Elizabeth about the song. *Will tried to smile but could only manage a little one then he forced himself to turn away and walk back to his house. It was a slow walk, his mind spinning every which way. He walked inside and went up to Elizabeth and told her everything he'd seen that day. Then he added.* And Jack taught that song to his entire crew. Said it drives them mad but they sing it anyways. *He said, then he grabbed her hand and led her to the window where he would stay until he saw the sails.*

-Clarion- *As Jack was thrown into the jail cell Clarion slipped into a quiet area of the fort where he found a single officer, doing paper work. He killed the man quicky and quietly then hid him away and slipped into the officers uniform. As he made his way back to the Fort he saw Will walking off and he grinned. Then he slipped into the kitchen to prepare Jack a meal. As he prepared it he slipped a little poison in it, enough to make Jack sick enough to wish his execution would come sooner.* Here Mr. Sparrow, you're dinner. And don't ask for any rum cause you wont get any! *Clarion said handing the meal to Jack. Then he leaned against a wall and watched him to make sure he ate it all.*

:Jack looked at the guard coldy. Something seemed familar about him but he frowned:
:But he ate it anyway. He was hungry adn he didn't suppose he'd get many square meals in this place. He lay back and watched the guard leave.:
:Time pasted....slowly......and Jack's head began to spin at first....he didn't pay attetion and figured it was just being in this place that made him ill. Finally he lay down, looking rather pale, and fell asleep. He didn't know his food was laced with laudanum. A simple drug....sort of like opium...and made a body very weak. Jack lay still, and closed his eyes, unknowningly letting the drug do it's work:

*Tobbs aimed for Tortuga as quickly as she could. She knew there wasn't alot of time, for they'd be needed soon...perhaps even now? She dreaded the thought of how Jack was being treated and hoped Will was taking care of him for her.*
*Tortuga's docks neared, closer and closer they came, and suddenly, they were anchoring the ship. As quickly as she could, she ran down the stairs and addressed Maria, Emma, Kat, Arayel, and Rose*
"Mateys, I'll be a runnin' down to the 'arbor master and ship yard to get us some boards and some 'elp! Try to keep all this water 'ere out till then!"
*With that, she charged up the stairs, dashed upon deck, and basicaly ran through the streets. Her wholeobjective now was to get the things they need, get out, and get to Jack and Port Royale.*

*Elizabeth hadn't heard Abby nor Sarah, so, thiking they were perhaps sleeping in, she continued on with making breakfast. *
*As she finished and set the table, she heard someone enter, and turning, she saw twas Will. His expression said everything, and his words confirmed it. She tried not to believe it, for something had to be wrong! Jack wouldn't do such a thing!*
*As she was led to the window, she knew how much her husband was hurting right now. She squeezed his hand and rested her head on his shoulder, looking out into the cool morning and out at the sea. She wished, hoped, prayed that the Pearl would get here soon.*

Sarah handed Abigail her knife. Sorry Abby, don't know what came over myself. Here's my knife, kind of a, I'm sorry question. Sarah listened until Will started walking home. Sarah and Abby followed Will until they saw him walk inside. Come one Abigail, we climb a tree into the twins room. Sarah gave a little laugh. But then she nearly started crying. Ab, I'm really sorry for putting the blade to your throat. You may have it, if you like.
