Jack turned to Anna Maria. �Would you please bring some water and washcloths� he asked.
�Aye captain.� she said wiping her own tears from her face.
Jack walked back to their cabin. He laid her gently on the bed where they had made love not two hours earlier. He looked at her now still face and felt his eyes well with tears once again. He had to hold her again and he reached down, pulling her body to him. �Oh Maddy.� he sobbed. �Why? God why?� he practically shouted.
Anna Maria stood in the doorway watching Jack. Her heart ached for him. Throughout the years, she and Maddy had become very close friends and it hurt her knowing that Maddy was now dead. �Jack.� she said in a quiet voice.
Jack laid Maddy back down when he heard Anna Maria. �Will ye please help me?� he asked.
�Aye Jack.� she said shutting the door behind her. She brought a large basin filled with water and moved to the other side of the bed.
Together they began to pull of Maddy�s bloodstained clothes and then clean the blood from her body. Jack removed her wedding rings and put them on the chain around his neck that held the eagle locket she had given him for a wedding present. The locket was now stained with blood. Jack vowed silently never to remove it.
When Maddy�s body was clean, Jack gently pulled a sheet over her body, but not covering her head. Anna Maria sat on her knees holding a bloody rag in her hand. Jack turned and walked over to the large wardrobe and pulled out a dress. It was his favorite. Her pink satin dress.
�She would always put this on when I would get angry.� he said quietly and with a sad smile.
�I know.� Anna Maria said. She stood and walked over to Jack and took the dress out of his hands. �I�ll help you get it on her.�
Jack merely nodded. Together they redressed Maddy. Jack put on the black pearl choker necklace he had given to her on their wedding day.
Anna Maria looked at him. �She loved you Jack.� she said gently.
Jack took Maddy�s hand and kissed it. He let go of her hand and pulled up a chair from his desk next to the bed and sat there. Looking at her. There was little to no emotion on his face. He felt numb. And anger.
�If you need anything Jack, don�t hesitate to ask.� Anna Maria said before leaving the cabin.

A few hours later Mr. Clark and Mr. Cotton gently knocked on the door. They had finished the coffin for Maddy. They had done a beautiful job with what wood they had and in such a short time. They carried it inside the cabin and set it gently on the floor. Jack glanced over at them as they stood there. Saw the coffin sitting there. He stood up and reached down to pick Maddy up in his arms. Mr. Clark moved forward to help him, but Cotton held up his arm to stop him and shook his head. He knew this is something that Jack wanted to do alone.
Jack placed her inside and folded her hands on her stomach. He looked around for her sword and placed it in the coffin next to her and stepped back. Mr. Cotton and Mr. Clark moved to put the lid on.
�No!� Jack said sternly. �Not yet. We�ll place her in the hold where it�s cooler and then when we reach Angel�s Heart, the cover goes on.�
Mr. Clark and Mr. Cotton merely nodded. They didn�t know what to say. Jack moved to take one of the handles on the side and together the three of them lifted her up. Slowly walking towards the hold. As they made their way, no one spoke as they passed them. When they reached the hold. They secured the coffin with ropes and Mr. Cotton and Mr. Clark slipped away silently.
Jack stood there, looking at his wife. They had had many problems in the past, but he would never change any of it. He told her she had been a real pirate because she had stolen his heart. He bent and kissed her cool lips. �I�ll be back love.� he whispered. He turned and saw Gibbs standing there.
�Are ye alright Jack?�
�I�ll be fine.� He said sternly. �Now if you�ll excuse me, I have a ship to navigate.� he said as he moved past his first mate.
�Jack, ye should rest. This has been very trying for you.� Gibbs said as he glanced at the coffin.
Jack turned to Gibbs and smiled sadly. �Think I could use a drink and then the only thing I want to feel is the wind in my face and the smell of the sea in my head. Maddy would not expect anything less of me.�
�Aye captain.� Gibbs said sadly. Knowing that Jack was right. �JJ is still up in the crow�s nest.� he said as Jack made his way towards the stairs.
�And that is where he will stay until his watch is over.� Jack said not looking back. �He is still a member of this crew and he has a job to do.�
�Aye Jack.� Gibbs said moving towards the coffin. He looked down at Maddy once Jack had left. �Oh Maddy.� he said out loud sadly.

Jack made his way back to his cabin. Going to his desk he reached for the bottle of rum that sat there. He uncorked it and took a drink. Letting it linger in his mouth before swallowing it slowly. He glanced over at the bed. Maddy�s blood on the sheets. On the clothes that she had on lay at the foot of the bed. Jack walked over to it and stared at it. He reached down with one hand and lifted the sheet. Looking at it. Remembering Maddy lying on it underneath him. Making love to her. He let the sheet drop and threw the bottle of rum against the wall. It crashed into tiny pieces. He had seen the pain in James Norrington�s face, but Jack would never forgive him for killing Maddy. Turning on his heel, he left the cabin and made his way to the deck.
The crew walked on eggshells around him. They were all saddened by Maddy�s death and they could see the stern look on their captain�s face. They knew better than to speak to him.
Jack gripped the wheel of his dark beauty firmly. She calmed him, steadied him, gave him the strength and kept him focused on what he needed to do. It was all he could do to keep from throwing something else. He glanced up at the crow�s nest and wondered if his son was still up there.
�Timothy.� he called out.
Timothy came running. He had been on many journey�s with Jack, despite his mother�s unwillingness to let him go.
�Aye Captain.�
�Run up the skull and crossbones. Half mast.� Jack said sternly. His flag would fly in honor of Maddy.
�Aye Captain.� Tim said and scurried off. As he unfurled it, Gibbs came to help him.
�I�ll help you son.� he said and together they raised the flag.
Jack watched the flag whip in the wind and then turned his eyes back to the sea. You�ll be home soon Maddy he thought. As with Angel, he would grieve for Maddy in private. He was a captain. A pirate. He needed to stay focused on that.
