Chapter 3

They were at sea for a further 2 days before Josephine noticed The Pearl was slowing down. She looked out of the cabin and saw land passing by the window. As Jack was sailing into the port Josephine appeared behind him.
�Where are we?� She asked.
�Go back down to the cabin and stay there. I will join you the minute we are docked.�
Josephine opened her mouth to protest, but when she saw the look on Jack�s face she changed her mind and disappeared below.
20 minutes later the cabin door opened and Jack swaggered in.
�So, where are we?� Josephine repeated her previous question.
�We are in the pirate port of Tortuga. And while ever we are docked here I do not want to see your face up on deck. Do you understand me?�
�Yes, I understand. But why can�t I just go up for a short while to get some fresh air? It is rather stuffy down here.�
�Do you not remember what we were talking about the night before last? If someone were to see you and know who you are, they would be forced to come aboard to get you and I would be forced to kill someone, and I don�t particularly want to do that. So, why don�t you be a good lass and stay down here. I have instructed Duncan to keep an eye on you while I conduct my business.�
�I do not need a nurse maid.�
�I beg to differ. Look, I have some people I need to see. Whilst I am gone I will make some discrete enquiries. Once I am satisfied that no one has so much as heard of your disappearance, and only then, will you be allowed up on deck. And even then I suggest it is only for a few minutes.
�Jack furrowed his brow when he noticed the way Josephine was looking at him.
�What?� He asked.
�You really are concerned about me aren�t you?�
�Let�s just say you remind me of someone. But, you won�t do for much longer if you allow yourself to be seen. Once we have re-stocked our supplies we can leave here and you can get as much fresh air as your lungs can cope with.�
�You�re nothing like I would have expected of a pirate.�
�You know,� Jack said. �I can�t seem to figure you out. You appear to have lost all memory of yourself, yet you still seem to have quite the education on pirates. I�m beginning to wonder why that is.�
�When I figure that out I will let you know. So, who is she?�
�Who is what?�
�The person I remind you of?�
�No one. The wife of a eunuch. Strumpet.�
Then with a slightly guilty look he made for the door. Just as he was about to reach it he turned sharply. �Stay here and please don�t do anything stupid.� He asked, and he turned back and left the cabin, the door banging behind him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For a whole hour Josephine sat in Jack�s cabin feeling The Pearl bobbing gently beneath her. She was bored. In fact, not just bored, but extremely bored beyond belief. She had to get out and do something, anything, before she went mad. Ignoring Jack�s orders to stay below, Josephine thought that two minutes wouldn�t hurt. Opening the door she stuck her head out and looked around to make sure the coast was clear before stepping out.
The sight that greeted her as she approached the side of The Pearl was one that she was not prepared for at all. There were a great number of ships on either side of them, most were pirate ships from what she could gather. Although Josephine couldn�t see much of the port from the ship, there were enough wenches hanging around the docks tempting weary sailors to know this wasn�t a place she wanted to stay for too long.
Milling around the docks, many of the whores of Tortuga could be found flaunting their bosoms in low cut dresses and lifting their skirts to reveal their ankles.
�Fancy a good time darlin�?� Said one.
�I can give you a good price,� said another.
Off to the left of The Pearl, a wench going by the name of Lou-anne approached one of the sailors and flung her arms about his neck.
�You look weary darlin�. What can I do to help you unwind after your long journey?�
�I�m sure we can think of something. You are a pretty young thing aren�t you, what might your name be.�
�I�m Lou-anne. What would you like me to call you?�
�My name is Edward Matterson, but you my dear can call me Captain.�
�Oh Captain,� she giggled.
�So Lou-anne, where do you recommend this weary Captain could get a nice long mug of��
Just then Matterson looked up and saw towering above him the black sails of The Black Pearl. But it wasn�t that that caught his eye. It was the woman aboard her. At least he assumed it was a woman. She was wearing breeches and a shirt, but her heavy bosom was a big giveaway. As his eyes travelled to her face he took a step away from Lou-anne. It couldn�t be who he thought it was could it?
�Joey?� He shouted.
Aboard The Pearl, Josephine heard someone call out and turned quickly out of surprise.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
�Oh bloody hell, not again.� Jack said as he noticed Josephine snap her head to the left, lose her balance and tumble from the deck of The Pearl. He sprinted across the docks and dove in, his hat flying off before he hit the water. Relieved she wasn�t wearing a dress this time, he easily swam them to the surface where once again there was a rope waiting for them. Retrieving his hat he took hold of the rope and they were pulled aboard.
�I didn�t know she was up on deck �til I saw her fall Captain.�
�That would make two of us Mr Duncan,� He replied.
The minute Jack was satisfied her coughing fit was over he took her by the arm and marched her back below deck to his cabin and threw her on the bed.
�It appears Josie,� he said angrily. �That you were not content with taking a breath of fresh air, against my specific instructions I might add. You felt the need to go for a swim and draw attention to yourself as well. You will never disobey my orders whilst you are still on this ship again. Now you will stay here while I go and sort out your mess.� And he turned and left the cabin letting the door slam behind him.
When Jack stepped out on deck he saw the man known as Matterson standing not too far away. Actually he was way too close for Jack�s comfort. He slowly walked down the gangplank and raised his pistol.
�I don�t think you want to be coming any closer mate,� he warned.
Ignoring Jack�s threat Matterson said, �You wouldn�t happen to have a woman on board by the name of Josephine Bell would you?�
�Who wants to know?� Jack asked.
�The name�s Edward Matterson,� the man said.
�There�s only one woman onboard my ship and she�s a part of my crew.�
�But I saw her, on this ship. I�ve been looking for her for days now. My ship was attacked by pirates and they kidnapped her.�
�And you think I�m the one that took her?�
�She�s on your ship isn�t she?�
Jack knew Matterson was lying. He didn�t know what had happened before he found her, or even what the ship she had been on was called, but it couldn�t have been a pirate ship. He knew that any pirate worth his salt would have had the sense to seek shelter during a storm of that magnitude. Besides, Jack Sparrow was never one to ignore his gut when it told him something was wrong.
�You�re lying to me mate. If you think I�m going to let you take her and be on you�re merry way, you most certainly have another thing coming.�
Matterson took a step forward.
�You are not taking her,� he said cocking the pistol.
He took another step.
�Don�t make me shoot you.�
After Matterson took a third step Jack took aim and fired, hitting him in the left shoulder and knocking him back.
�At least you�re not cursed. I hope,� Jack said, turning and walking quickly back up the gangplank.
�Is all the crew accounted for Mr Gibbs?�
�Aye Captain.�
�Well then I think it�s time we left,� he said taking his place at the helm. �All hands on deck. Weigh anchor and hoist the sails.�
Once Jack was certain they were a safe distance from Tortuga, he went below to find Josephine sat on the edge of the bed. Right where he left her.
�Well Josie, if I may call you that, it appears you are a wanted woman. I met a most interesting man back there by the name of Edward Matterson. Ring any bells for you?�
�No,� she said shaking her head.
�Well he seemed very intent to get you back.�
�You didn�t kill him did you?� She asked.
�I shot him.�
�But did you kill him?�
�No. I just delayed him long enough for us to make way. Now I�m going to ask you a question, and I want you to answer it as best you can. It�s a simple question so it shouldn�t prove too difficult for you. Do you remember anything or anyone?� He asked.
�No,� she answered. �I�m sorry.�
�Think carefully. What about him? Edward Matterson? Think.�
�There�s nothing.�
�Well, I believe he�s after you for something, and I�m going to find out what it is. He�s not who he says he is. Oh, Matterson might be his name, but he�s not as innocent as he makes himself out to be. There�s something about him. Something I don�t trust.�
�This coming from a pirate?�
Jack smirked.
�Do you think he�s one?�
�Some might think he�s too well spoken for a pirate, but you never can tell. Anyway, if you mean as much to him as I think you do he�s going to start giving chase, if he hasn�t already. I�ll give him a day or two, by then we should be in Port Royal, and then let him catch up.�
�Why do you want him to catch up?�
�I�m going to find out what he wants you for. But this time it�s going to be on my terms.�
After Jack had left, Josephine sighed a breath of relief. Edward Matterson. Could that be the boy from the vision? She had called him Eddie. It was certainly a possibility. If Jack was right about him wanting something from her, he was going to have a rough time getting it, because she was damned if she could remember what it was.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A couple of days later Jack was at the helm when he called Josephine over to him. �What you see over there,� he said, pointing in the direction they were heading. �Is Port Royal. Now we are going to be docking there for a while.�
�How long is a while?� Josephine asked.
�As long as it takes,� he replied.
�To do what?�
�You certainly do ask a lot of questions. I�ve got a couple of friends there that I need to visit. While I am gone you are to go down to the cabin and stay there.�
At the look on here face he added. �Need I remind you of the last time you disobeyed my orders? Do not make me lock you in.�
�Alright. I will stay in your lousy cabin. But do you realise how boring it is in there? I have nothing to occupy myself with.�
�Well maybe if you are a good lass while I am gone, I might provide you with some entertainment when I get back.� He said leering at her.
Josephine just looked at him until it suddenly occurred to her what he meant.
�I do not need that sort of entertainment Captain Sparrow.�
�Suit yourself,� he said watching her stalk off.
Once the ship was docked, Jack joined her in his cabin.
�Still bored?� he asked.
�Not that bored,� she replied eyeing him warily.
Jack grinned and turned to the desk behind him. Rummaging through the same draw he found the mirror in, he pulled out a book and handed it to Josephine. �This should keep you busy. Hope you haven�t read it.�
Josephine scanned the title. ��Robinson Crusoe� by Daniel Defoe. If I have I don�t remember,� she replied, looking back up at him. �Thank you.�
�Welcome. I will try not to be too long. But in the mean time��
�I know I know. Stay out of sight.�
�Be sure that you do.� And without saying another word Jack left.
Josephine settled back on the bed, opened the book and began to read.
