Chapter
twenty eight: ‘You know nothing of me, Mr. Valentine, nothing at all.’
Jenny glanced
around again. Now she knew she was being followed as a man stumbled
against a crowd of people in an effort to keep pace with her. ‘Who is he?’
she wondered, starting to feel nervous. She had had a feeling for a couple of
days that she had gained an extra shadow but this was the first time she had
actually seen someone. She cursed. She had hoped to go to the market on the
outskirts of town but instead changed direction and headed for the docks,
wanting to be back aboard The Black Pearl where at least she felt safe.
‘Ah Jenny, how
nice it is to see you again.’ She suppressed a groan as Absolon Valentine
blocked her way and held her arm fast.
‘Mr. Valentine,
what a surprise.’ She tried to pull her arm from his grasp, shooting a look at
him when he gripped tighter. ‘I really must be getting back to the ship, I have
to help the cook prepare the food.’
‘Ah, but you’re
the captain’s woman, surely he doesn’t expect you to work for your
living?
‘All of us work,
including Jack. That’s what makes The Pearl such a successful ship.’
‘You must have
found it hard when you were first taken aboard. A fine lady such as yourself…’
‘You know
nothing of me, Mr. Valentine, nothing at all. Now if you’ll excuse me…’ Jenny
snatched her arm away and strode down the street, concentrating hard to keep
her steps even and light, so as not to betray the tumult going on inside her.
She reached the docks and glanced at some men lounging against the support
posts, watching her from the corners of their eyes then looked up and caught
sight of Valentine just as he disappeared into a crowd of people. Unnerved, she
climbed into a boat and pushed off, trying to master the hang of rowing and
ignoring the sniggers coming from the quayside.
‘Cap’n! Looks
like Jenny’s heading back.’ Danny Woods watched as she slowly made her way to
the ship, glancing round as his captain joined him.
‘Now why has she
done that I wonder?’ Jack mused aloud, stroking his chin braids. ‘Jen?’ he
called down.
Jenny threw the
line to those on deck then grabbed the rope ladder hanging down the side of the
ship and climbed aboard, coming face to face with the two men as she reached
the deck. ‘I was being followed Jack. I have been followed for a couple
of days, since the day after the dinner at Valentine’s then I bumped into him
just now and he wouldn’t let go of me.’
‘Is that so…?
Why th’hell didn’t ya say so before?’ Jack’s face hardened as he took her hand
and led her to the privacy his cabin. ‘What exactly did he say luv?’
Jenny told him
about the exchange, feeling slightly relieved that she had not over-reacted.
‘Why is he so interested in me?’
‘I don’t know
luv but I’m not lettin’yer go ashore alone from now on. It won’t be long before
th’new sails are ready. Then we’ll leave Tortuga fer a while, get ya away from
him, savvy?’
‘Oh, definitely
savvy,’ Jenny smiled, glad to be finally leaving the pirate town behind. She
had had more than her fill of it the last few weeks, what with waiting for Jack
to arrive then waiting for new sails to be made up.
…
‘Toby! I’ve a
job for you.’ Absolon Valentine nodded his head, indicating for his right hand
man to follow him into the sitting room.
‘What is it, Mr.
Valentine?’ The tall, stocky man eased himself onto the settee, having known
Valentine long enough to be at ease in his presence.
‘I want you to
go to Port Royal and find out whatever you can about Jenny Sparrow. I
have a feeling Sparrow kidnapped her and I want to know the full story. How she
was kidnapped, where she was living or working, anything at all. If she was
kidnapped, find out if there is a reward and if it is worth our while then we
shall see about luring Sparrow and his woman into a trap.’
‘Aye, Mr.
Valentine. When will I be going?’
‘The ships are
due back tomorrow, wait until then and The Nomad will take you.’
‘Aye Sir.’
Tobias Hoskins rose from his seat nodding at his employer before making his way
from the room.
‘Ah yes…’
Valentine spoke aloud to the room. ‘I will see about luring them into a
trap…’ Smiling to himself, he sat at his piano and started to play, losing
himself in the music he made.
…
Jenny watched as
the crew of The Black Pearl took down some of the older, more threadbare
sails then went to help those on deck fold them as their mates in the rigging
attached the new sails to the ropes and masts, smiling up at Jack as he and Mr.
Gibbs passed by.
‘Right, once
we’ve got th’sails up, we’ll be off.’ The crew were starting to get restless,
Jack was starting to get restless and he also wanted to get Jenny away from
Absolon Valentine.
‘D’ya reckon
Valentine’ll try anything else?’ Joshamee Gibbs looked in puzzlement at Jack’s
stare.
‘How’d ya know I
was just thinkin’ o’him?’
‘Ha! Great minds
think alike, eh Jack?’
‘Aye, an’ fools
seldom differ…’
‘Never a truer
word spoken Cap’n,’ chuckled Joshamee as he made his way to the stern to check
the sails already in place there.
‘So, what is Valentine
like?’ Billy Wheeler moved besides Jenny and looked at her, curiosity showing
in his eyes.
‘Billy, leave
it,’ warned Mad Pete, knowing that Jenny had had enough of being questioned
about the man. Although he had to admit, he was curious himself. Absolon
Valentine was rarely seen around the streets of Tortuga and no-one he had ever
heard of had been invited to dinner at his grand house on the hill. ‘Ah well,’
he thought to himself, ‘No doubt all will be revealed in time.’
‘Thank you Pete,’
Jenny smiled gratefully then bent down and concentrated on the job at hand,
hoping no-one else would ask any questions. It was back-breaking work and took
most of the day to finish but finish they did just as the last light was fading
on the horizon.
Jack ordered the
crew to make ready the ship, having had all supplies brought in surreptitiously
during the past couple of days, not wanting to advertise that they were ready
to leave and as darkness fell on the harbour of Tortuga, The Black Pearl
slipped quietly out, unnoticed by many, but not all…
…
Toby Hoskins
looked at the privateer captain ruefully. His boss was not going to like this
news. ‘Let me get this straight,’ he mused, taking a draught of ale before
continuing, ‘Jenny Samuels was the companion of the Governor at a dinner party
you’d thrown, in which Sparrow turned up and stole the coin half and kidnapped
her, yes?’
‘Yes, that’s
correct. She then returned for a few days, stayed with the Governor but just
disappeared like that,’ Stuart Button replied, snapping his fingers together.
‘When did she
re-appear?’
‘Roughly a month
back, I was out of town at the time, one of my men told me. If I had known she
was here she wouldn’t have left Port Royal in a hurry, believe me. So you’re
now telling me she’s ensconced with Sparrow?’
‘Aye, so it
would seem. Were they working together beforehand, d’you reckon? Y’know, before
the party?’ Tobias Hoskins stroked his beard thoughtfully, the idea only having
just occurred to him.
‘Not sure Toby
but if they were, she’s a damn fine actress. Nah, they weren’t in on it
beforehand, I’d stake my ship on it. Th’Governor’s been asking around ‘bout
her, seeing if anyone has any information. He practically lives at Turner’s
smithy, he’s there so often.’
‘He doesn’t know
she’s with Sparrow then?’ Hoskins suddenly brightened, wondering if there was a
chance of profit here.
‘I think he has
his suspicions but now he’s not in charge of th’naval ships, there’s not a lot
he can do,’ Button laughed, grateful for the new Commodores’ incompetence which
gave him a chance to loot ships he would otherwise have had to leave under the
rules of the letter of Marque. ‘Why th’hell they brought in a man from England
instead of promoting one o’their own, I’ll never know. But then, th’Admiralty have
never been known for their foresight.’ The two men laughed and downed their
ale, indicating for some more to be brought over.
‘I might just
pay th’Governor a little visit tomorrow, see if he’d be interested in capturing
them an’ how much he’d be willing ter pay.’
…
‘No.’
‘No?’ Toby
Hoskins stared at Governor Norrington in astonishment. ‘But… you’d get Jenny
Samuels back and capture Jack Sparrow.’
‘If Mrs. Samuels
has chosen that path, that is her decision, but I will not consort with
pirates and racketeers in order to capture Sparrow and I will most certainly not
be paying your employer, whom you are so reluctant to name, or Captain Button
for the privilege of doing the job for me.’
‘Well ya don’t
seem to have much luck capturing him yourself or if ya do he escapes,’ Hoskins
taunted, sneering at the tall man before him.
‘I’m a busy man
Mr. Hoskins I don’t have time for your games. Good day.’ Governor Norrington
nodded to a marine standing guard who escorted a fuming Hoskins from the office
and out to the street.
James Norrington
leaned against his heavy oak desk and pinched the bridge of his nose. ‘So it
is true then,’ he thought sadly, cursing Jack Sparrow under his breath. He
wondered what had happened when Jenny was taken aboard The Black Pearl
and why she had returned to Port Royal, albeit briefly. ‘That is something
only she can tell me.’
Sighing, he
picked up some official papers and made a pretence at reading them but his mind
was going over the questions again and again until he pushed them to one side
and brought out some writing paper and began to pen a letter to Jenny’s father,
Henry Marston, informing him of his daughter’s situation.
…
You didn’t really
think I’d do that to you, did you? Mwahahahaha! The story continues with Bittersweet
