-Clarion-
*Clarion was pleased that Kat had taken him up on his offer for the drink. When they got into the tavern and ordered their drinks he realized she had recognized him from somewhere by what she had said. He didn't want to tell her it had been in Port Dantes that she had seen him, for he hadn't been in uniform when he performed the slaughter so if she knew him from there she might find it odd. He figured he could play himself off as a heroic survivor of the slaughtering in Port Dantes see if he could learn from her who Jacks crew suspected.* Aye, I'm told that often...that I have a familiar face. I travel when Im not busy, could be why. In fact I used to live in Port Dantes before it was... *He paused a moment and managed to get his eyes to water over, just to add effect to his fibs.* slaughtered. I managed to escape and I came here to see what I could do. I tried to help the others in Port Dantes but I could only save a few. It was horrible. And I feel awful because I was one of those who were supposed to help in times like that and I just couldn't. *He lied, then he burried his face in his hands and pretend to feel utterly hurt. He was curious to see Kats reaction to the whole scene, hoping she would think of him as a hero and not catch on that he was lying.*

Emma was on her second mug of rum when she heard something that caught her ear.She listened,her ears dimming out all input but for the conversation she had recognized a few words of.She peeked cautiously over the edge of her mug,glancing at the people who were talking.
A man and a young woman were talking,neither of whom she recognized.One of them,the woman had mentioned Jack.Something about his food...
Poison!It hit Emma like a ton of bricks.She had to get back to the rest of the crew,or to the Turners.But not yet.
Slowly,she inched down the bar until she could hear them without strain.
Might as well see what else she could find out.

*Norrington was still standing beside the bars as Jack's crew shuffled in. He knew many of them from past adventures and scuffles they had fought in together. However, they probably all thought him to be a traitor for locking Jack up, they would, he's their captain.
But they didn't understand things...they didn't know that Norrington was bound by something higher than even the law....as much as he didn't want to believe it....all the evidence pointed to Sparrow.*
Alright mates...time's up, Jack needs his rest, he's got a long time ahead of him. I'm sure Will can accomodate you all. Now, if you would, leave the same way you came in.
*As the crew left, Norrington turned to Jack and spoke sternly*
Listen Jack...I want to believe you, but things are looking bad. However, don't ever think I won't fight for you, because I know you'll do the same for me. Now, I'll have two guards standing watch here, if there's anything you need, just tell them. I'm going to go and try to work this thing out.....

*Will thank Sarah for staying behind to help Abigail and Elizabeth with the twins and new guests then he led Maria to the Jail to see Jack. As they got below to his cell he heard Norrington tell everyone to clear out and at his mention of Will being able to accomodate them Will stepped forward and smiled politley.* Yes, there's more than enough room at my house. Elizabeth and Abigail have made up beds all about the house, enough for all of you and there's food and fresh water. *Will said, stepping aside as the crew made their way out of the jail. Before he left he paused and looked at Jack and he smiled at him. He looked worse than he did on Wills last visit and Will wondered why.*I'll see you tomorrow Jack. If your feeling alright I might even bring the twins to see you. I'm not sure if I can take another minuet of their begging! And don't worry, I'm gonna get to the bottom of things soon.[/b] *Will said, then he tipped his hat to Norrington and walked out, leading Jacks crew to his house and showing them to their beds and the food.*

Kat looked at Clarion with a placid face. One eyebrow was raised and her mouth was in a grim line. "So ye were there when the kilin' happend?" Her voice was decidedly changed. The scottish accent and the pirate accent were mearged together over ridding her proper british one. "Ive heard a bit 'o bout it all. So ye tried ta save the folks back there laddie? Im sorry it dinna' work out." she placed a hand on his back. Kats mind was racing, either "Clark" was telling the truth or he was an excelent lyer. She didnt know exactly what to think. "So who de ye think did it? I have narry a judgement on the matter." it was then Kat realized how she had been talking. She cursed herself knowing that her accent was known and that she could very well be recognized. A tanglement with the navy while away from Jacks crew was the last thing she needed right now.
Saber gave Jack one last lingering look as Norrington shooed them out of the prison. Jack wasnt looking like himself that was for sure, and she had never seen him so pale in all her born days. Will lead them to his house and showed them the food and beds. For once Saber wasnt hungry. She flopped down on a mattress that lay on the floor, allowing the "officers" of the pearl to have any real beds that might be about, and lay there quiet for some time. All of a sudden she jumped up "Kat!" she exclaimed "Kats out there, and shes not recognized by the navy as one of Jacks crew! The'll catch her for sure, shes wanted for murder here in port royal at least a dozen times over. If someone recognizes her." Saber shudderd. "I need to go find her....anyone with me?"

:Jack smiled at his crew and waved away their questions of his health: "I've been worse off mates..." He said softly, and grinned. at Norrington's words his crew left. he watched them go silently, and Norrington had a few last words with him. Jack just nodded:
"Aye mate..you do what's right by you.....savvy?"
:When Eill mentioned bringing the twins over to see him he frowned just slightly. He had hoped his first meeting with the children of what he considered his closest friend, would take place under better conditions. But he ony nodded: "Aye....would be nice to see the twins..." He smiled. "And Elizabeth......"
:He watched everyone leave. And his dark eyes glittered. he knew he was being posioned now. Jack's ever wild eyes searched his cel for the source of the posion. His water maybe? Or his rum? Was that possible? He frowned darkly, then went back to thinking. Who in Port Dantes would frame him?:

After a few minutes, a name had still not surfaced in the conversation,and Emma decided to leave.She gave the bartender a shilling,and headed back into the streets.
Where had her friends been staying?She had heard it from someone...Oh,yes.The Turner house.She knew where it was;she had,after all,worked for the governor during her brief stint as a civilized person.Emma wove her way through the nearly-deserted streets,towards the Turner house.
She arrived on the doorstep,opened the door,and came face-to-face with a panicked Saber."Saber,what's wrong?"she inquired.She looked around the room."Where's Kat?"she asked immediately,hoping sincerely that Saber knew...

:Once tyey had got there they were told to clear out. Maria had only manged to take a glance at Jack in his cell. She needed to ask him questions. But it was too late.
As Her ,Will ,and the crew neered the house Maria still couldn't find out what was wrong and what had happened. Nobody had told her what was going on . Once the crew settled in their cozy home Maria ran to seek Sarah. :
" Sarh please tell me what happened. Whats the fuss with jACK?"

:Jack paced his cel. He wished he knew exactly who was holding some sort of grudge againest him......the list he could come up with was really to long. He'd done quite a few things in the past that might merit a grudge:
:He narrowed down the idea of pirates being hte cause. Normally they just killed you outright. The Navy? He'd had plenty of run ins in the past with them......to many. Ok...so it was the navy. Then who exactly. He'd destroyed many ships....but he'd never killed unless they got in his way.:
:Well...fansatic..probably killed someone's best friend and now someone was out to kill him. Great. Just great. He paced longer. No.......he must have left someone alive. humiliated.......damn the British Navy and their undying pride. Probably was one of them. Ok...so...who'd he leave alive now?:
:Well...there were plenty of those too. Damnit! Next time he attacked a ship he should just kill them all. But no..that was never his style. He prefered sacking a ship or village with as little blood shed as possible. It added a challenge to the game he played. Less bodies...more legends spred. He could have done many more horrible things in his life.....he knew that:
:Jack was no innocent either. He'd done his fair share of killing......all of which, he felt were justifed...mostly in self defense. He was never one to shoot a person in the back. True he'd play dirty. But that never ended fatally...:
:He hoped Will knew this.....he hoped Norrington knew this. He hoped his crew was bright enough to prove the Navy wrong. He was too tired to keep hoping. Finally he just fell asleep:

Sarah quickly comforted Maria. Don't worry m'dear. It'll be OK. Come to my room and I'll explain it all! Sarah led Maria to her room and quickly explained what she had gathered fro Abigail. They believe that Jack is in charge of the slaughter at Port Dantes. I don't believe that's true, but all the evidents leads to him my dear. There doesn't seem to be anything we can do!

* Marias face filled with confusion. She couldn't believe that Jack would do that. He couldn't. Maria was furious. Who whould dosuch a crime as frame Jack and When Sarah said there was nothing they could do she just shook her head* " Not if I can help it." * Maria got up from the bed she was sitting on and looked at the mirror facing in Sarah reflection.* " There has to be something we can do."

"Oh Emma Im so glad your here...have you seen Kat?" The words tumbled out of Sabers mouth at the same time Emma asked where Kat was. "I dont know, I dont know Emma. She left the ship before us all. Dressed in her old clothes. She could easily be recognized, we have to find her!" Saber had never been like this before. Of course she had never known what a family was before either but.....She rushed outside shouting back to the others. "Im going out to find Kat. Dont worry about me. You comming Emma?" She called over her shoulder as she speeded away.

"Of course I'm coming!"She almost shouted,sprinting off after Saber.How could she not come?To the best of her recollection,Kat was the only friend she'd ever had who hadn't been killed.
Yet.
Emma tried to drive that thought from her mind.Kat couldn't die.She couldn't.She tried to think straight.Where was Kat likely to be?
That was easy.If she knew Kat at all,she knew that she'd be an a pub or tavern someplace.
Or she could be down in an alley,surrounded by enemies.Stop thinking like that!
"There's a place over here I think we should chack,"she called to Saber,turning onto a side road that lead to a small pub she had visited a while back...

*As the night drew on Will blew out most of the candles that were lighting up the house so that Jacks crew could get their rest. He wished all of them a good night and promised to have breakfast for them in the morning if they wanted it. Then he scooped up the twins who had fallen asleep upon a couch and placed them in their beds upstairs. Then he went into his room and sprawled out atop the covers, not even bothering to change his clothes. He was the sleepiest he had been in a long time and yet he couldn't seem to fall asleep. Too much was on his mind. How could he prove Jack innocent? Someone had to know something and he wouldn't rest until Jack was out of that prison. He turned over on his side, staring at the candle flickering on the nightstand, lost in thought and frustration.*
-Clarion-
*As Kat patted him upon the back he wanted desperatly to smile, as she seemed to be buying his story. He was in a hard spot because this woman did appeal to him, but he had to deal with buisness first. He looked over at her slowly when she asked who he thought did it. Then he lowered his head.* I honestly don't have a clue Miss. I've heard rumors about everyone, even Jack Sparrow...that pirate they brought in the other day. Don't know if you know him or not. *He said then realized he had some more buisness to attend to. He smiled at Kat then set down two shillings for their drinks. He tipped his hat to her.* It was a pleasure meeting you Miss. Hopefully I will see you around again before long! *He said then rushed out and back to the Fort. He was happy to see that Sparrow was asleep and Norrington was the only one with him. Clarion smiled at Norrington and gave a nod with his head.* I'll keep watch on Mr. Sparrow now Commodore so you can return to your duties. *Clarion said and smiled when the Commodore left. Then he unlocked Jacks cell and crept quietly inside. It was very dark in the cell, so dark things looked like nothing more than shadows, including Clarion and this would work well to his advantage. He yanked Jack from the bed and punched him in the face, then again, and then a third time, then let him drop to the floor. He quickly started kicking Jack as hard as he could in the stomach, then lifted him again and slammed him into the wall.* You're finally getting what you deserve you piece of dirt *Clarion growled then he released Sparrow and hurried up the stairs where he had another guard take over guarding and then he went in search of Barbossa.*

Kat wanted to believe "Clark" he sounded very convincing but something about his manner....it didnt seem right. Also the way he reacted to her. She a women in mens clothes, talking in different accents as her mood changed and her face recognizable as a wanted criminal. "So he thinks Jack might have done it eh?" she said quietly as she finished her rum. "That one could bear some watching." and she walked from the pub jamming her black hat again on her head.
Saber nodded and turned with Emma. "aye your right. If Kat aint captured or busy on some job she'll be drinkin'." As they turned into the pub Saber didnt want to look to suspicious. So she went up to the bar and ordered two rums. she handed one to Emma who was staring at her "I know I dont drink." she hissed as she looked about "But a girl pirate doesnt come into a tavern for nothing. Besides Its on me and I know you'll want this." She said and handed hers to Emma. "I dont think Kat is here we should try the next one."
