- Chapter Four -
Jack didn't wake up that morning with gentle grace. He was rudely awakened when he connected with his cabin floor with a thud. Now that wasn't pleasant at all, and now he was aching.
He scrunched his eyes as he adjusted to the light that was pouring in from his cabin window. Groaning slightly he pulled himself up and tugged lightly on shirt which he grabbed from the floor. He had basically just tumbled into his bed the previous night, and hadn't cared where his belongings ended up, though all he had managed to remove had been his shirt and hat. He rubbed his eyes with both hands, then reached out for his hat, settling it upon his head.
Letting out a yawn his foot connected with an empty bottle of rum which he had tossed haphazardly onto the floor the previous night, sending it rolling onto the other side of the room, it knocking gently against the wall. Still feeling half asleep and rum deprived gathering by his sore head he then headed out on deck.
"Gibbs." He called out, as he saw Gibbs giving orders to a couple crewmen. Gibbs looked over at him, then dismissed the men.
"Aye, Captain." He answered as he made his way over.
"How's the repairs goin'?" Jack inquired.
"Well, Captain, we've got the replacement for the canvas, Jones and Carter will be settin' that up this morning. The hole in the hold has been patched up. That just leaves the work in the brig to be completed."
"Good goin'. After that's been done, pick up the ship supplies. Then we'll leave port."
"Aye, Captain. Where will ye be until then?" Asked Gibbs.
"Well, since I'll be leaving everything in your capable hands, I'll be indulging myself in a spot of pleasure." He stated with a grin.

As per her schedule Raven had woken up early that morning by Malone so she could start the hunt for Willy. She been looking for quite a while but had yet to discover the mans whereabouts. She was still not too sure on how to deal with her latest situation, so she hadn't quite decided whether to be nice to him and discuss things politely, or whether just to beat the information out of him. Considering how long she had been looking for him by this point she was leaning more to the latter.
Malone walked silently next to his Captain, and watched her face for any expression. Her face was almost completely blank, aside from a look in her eyes that showed that she was deep in thought.
The silence was starting to become rather awkward, but he didn't want to break the silence. He could never quite guess how Raven would react. Her temper was probably one of her worst aspects, it was always there simmering under the surface, but you just never knew what would set it off, and how bad it would be.
"Malone." Malone almost sighed with relief as Raven finally broke the silence. "Just one more sweep of Willy's haunts, then I think I actually might have to call it a day."
"Captain?"
"I've been looking for the damn thin' for almost a year, and it was so close that I could almost taste it. It's a fools errand, should 'ave listened to me da." Raven glanced up in the air almost with resignation.
"This not like ye, Captain. Ye never given up on anything before. Not even if it meant that ye was goin' to dance the hempen jig (A/N: to hang)." Stated Malone, startled by her remark. This just wasn't like her at all.
"Aye. That it was. But I'm not as youn' as I used to be. Ye know, if I 'ad been born into wealth, I would've been married with about three or more children by now. I'm what they call an old maid." Her tone was a getting a little distant, almost as if she regretted her lifestyle.
"I wouldn't be knowing 'bout that Captain."
"Never mind, Malone." Raven shook her head, and headed to the nearest tavern.

Jack sat by a table, in the Faithful Bride, with a brunette whore upon his lap. She kept giggling in his ear in a rather high pitch way, and inwardly he was cringing. He had already had his way her, but now she wouldn't leave him alone.
The whore began crooning about his performance, and Jack felt his chest begin to swell. He was never one to dismiss a compliment about his sexual prowess, so that made her company a little more bareable.
"'Ere lass, take this an' go get me a rum." Said Jack, giving the whore, who name he'd already forgotten, some coins.
Once more she began to giggle. "Of course, Captain."
Jack sighed as she walked away. Jacks only prospect that kept him happy was the thought of rum.
"'Ello, Captain Jack." Said a man, who approached him. The man was older, his hair a shade of grey, thinning on the top, while his face was mostly covered by a thick beard which was a darker shade of grey. His dark green eyes had their usual friendliness to them.
"Willy. 'ow's the business goin'." Asked Jack
"Runnin' a bit on the slow side, but the theft is risin'." Jack began to chuckle, there was always something so likeable about Willy.
"That's what 'appens when ye sell anythin' 'ere, mate." Willy smirked at Jack, but his smile started to fade.
"Willy, I was beginnin' to think that you'd fled."
I recognise that voice.
Jack turned around, and set his eyes on Raven, the woman that he'd recently become reacquainted with as of the night before. She stood there glaring at Willy, at her side was another man that he didn't recognise.
"Raven. I gave ye what ye needed." Willy's voice noticeably changed into a shaky one, he was clearly intimidated by the woman.
"Aye. But did you give me exactly what I needed?" Asked Raven, with one eyebrow raised. "'cause I checked, and nothing was there. There was nothing on 'im."
Raven pulled out a small knife and idly began playing with it between her fingers, rotating the blade slowly, the glint on it proved that it was undoubtedly sharp, therefore deadly. She glanced down at the blade, then back at Willy a cruel smirk appearing over her lips.
"Now, could it be that someone else 'as been asking about it?"
Willy visibly swallowed as Raven began to walk closer towards him, her movements slow and deliberate to intimidate him further. She pointed the tip of her blade at his throat.
"I'd hate for somethin' nasty to 'appen to ye Willy. After all you've never done anythin' to hurt anyone before 'ave ye." Willy shut his eyes, not wanting to look down at the blade, nor at Raven herself.
Jack decided that he should now step in. Willy had never been known to hurt a soul, so it was only right that someone looked out for him. With this in mind he got up from his seat, and shifted towards the rather dangerous woman.
"That's not a very nice thin' to do, Luv." Raven looked briefly at him, she nodded at her companion, and who drew out a cutlass, and aimed it at Jack's chest. Jack eyed him, but the man had his sights purely on Raven.
"Stay out of this, Sparrow. This is nothin' of your concern." She turned her sights back on Willy, and pressed the tip of the knife harder into his throat, drawing blood. "I'll ask once more. Tell me, has anyone else been askin'?"
"Willoughby." Willy croaked out.
