- Chapter Seven -
Robert sat on a water barrel cross-legged, near the spot where the Dark Diamond had once been. He glanced around in case Raven came back. After she had driven her fist through yet another water barrel, she had screamed various obscenities, obscenities that he had never heard in his life, in the direction of the ocean. She had then muttered something about rum, then had left him on his own.
Robert rested his chin into the palm of his hand, his elbow leaning on one of his crossed legs. He had thought about searching for Raven, but he knew that she was most likely drinking herself into oblivion.
Around him, various sailors and pirates were standing in groups, nearby to the pirates were a couple of whores. Robert, even though he was only a boy of twelve, had known about the existence of whores since about the age of six. It was a typical upbringing for a boy in Tortuga.
Walking towards him he saw three figures. One of them was vaguely familiar, swaying as he walked, and Robert thought he saw glint of something shiny in the man's hair. One was about the average height of a sailor, rather stocky and rounded. The other man he recognised immediately.
"Malone!" Robert called out, and jumped down off the barrel, glad to see the sight of his captain's first mate.
"Robert, lad. Where's the Captain?" Asked Malone, he looked rather pale.
"Not too sure, but I do know that rum is involved." Robert gave a grim smile. Although he wondered what had happened to Malone to give his pale appearance, he was also worried about Raven. He had seen her drunk several times, and knew that when she had cause she would drink herself unconscious.
"Then surprisingly enough, she's at a tavern." Jack quipped glancing down at Robert, taking in the boys appearance. Small, scrawny, with oddly familiar dark eyes accompanying dark hair.
Robert frowned at the man.
"Were you the one in the tavern earlier?"
Jack smiled at the boy, showing his gold teeth.
"Aye. That was me, Lad. Captain Jack Sparrow."
Robert's eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly. He had heard several tales about Jack Sparrow, but he hadn't realised that he was a real person. He thought he was nothing but a tale considering how far fetched some of the tales were. Commanding sea turtles just didn't seem believable.
"Jack, we best be searching then, aye?" Stated Gibbs.
Jack nodded and waved one arm, indicating the others to move.

The mug slammed down onto the bar. Raven lifted her head and motioned for the barman to bring her another rum. The barman had done this so many times, that he now decided just to place a bottle next to her.
Raven nodded and placed a few coins onto the bar. She stared at the bottle for a couple of moments the raised it to her lips.
"You alright Lass." The barman, cocked an eyebrow at her. He had seen this particular female pirate a few times in his bar, but normally she would be having a grand old time, laughing and joking with associates, rather than being in the sullen state that she was now.
"Fine, as long as ye keep the rum comin'" She intoned, her voice flat. "Here's to the Dark Diamond."
Raven then downed the contents of the bottle, and she began to feel the effects of the drink.

Jack and the others had searched several taverns, but had yet to find Raven. Gibbs had questioned him on why they were helping Malone, but Jack didn't really know why himself. Yes, he had a slight attraction to Raven, but he was also curious on what Raven was searching for. Whatever it was it was something that she was willing to kill for.
Jack had quizzed Malone earlier, on what had happened to him. But Malone remembered nothing. Only that he was by the docks searching for McNally, the next thing he knew he was coming too on the ground. Jack had guessed that Malone had questioned the wrong person, and had alerted McNally.
Jack knew little about Frank McNally. Only that he was once aboard a ship called the Devil's Due which was destroyed in a storm. McNally was one of few survivors, but he hadn't escaped unhurt. He was caught in the face by a wooden beam, which had ripped the flesh. Now permanently scarred for life, he had stayed at Tortuga still his strength had returned. That had apparently been the end of the pirates story, that was until now.
"Tell me again, what happened." Malone asked Robert.
"A Captain named Willoughby killed the crew, and stole the ship."
"Leave the Lad alone, Malone. Besides it's not like he can tell ye somethin' new." Robert smiled gratefully at Jack.
"Jack, we're coming close to the 'Song and Siren', maybe we'll have a bit more luck here." Stated Gibbs.

Several bottles of rum later, Raven was staggering in the tavern. The barman had tried several times to kick her out but to no avail. At first the sullen pirate had been fine, somewhat drunk, but she had been keeping to herself. That however had changed upon the arrival of another, that had decided to challenge her, ever since then the two had been yelling abuse at each other.
Raven had stood her ground the best that she could considering her condition. She was so drunk that she was just about aware of what the yelling was even about. All she knew is that her feelings on losing her ship had been transferred into a violent rage against this male pirate. Soon to be a dead pirate if she actually managed to get her hands onto him.
"All ye women are the same. All vicious bitches. Ye should never be at sea. Ye should remain at home and be the whore that ye are!" yelled the pirate.
"I am not a whore!" Raven yelled back.
"What are ye gonna do about it? Give us a kiss!" Replied the man.
"'Ere's me kiss!" Raven shot her fist out and it connected with the man's face. Not as hard as she normally did due to her rum consumption.
This was when Malone, Jack and the rest entered the Tavern,
"Captain!" Malone called out.
Surprised Raven spun round and stared, confused at Malone standing before her. Wondering where the hell he had just appeared from.
The pirate she had just hit, wasn't impressed that this female had attempted to hurt him and grabbed the nearest object. An empty bottle which she had practically suck every drop of rum out of earlier. With swipe he whacked her on the back of the head with the bottle. It shattered upon impact, and left Raven dazed and stunned.
"Bastard......" She muttered, before she crumpled to the ground. The blow having the desired effect.
