“Sam!” Vari gasped, nearly having a heart attack as a rather furry pirate rolled out from underneath Cole’s bed. With a hand still on her chest, she felt her pulse slowing down again. “Aye, we’re goin’ soon, but… where have the others gotten to?”
Edward pushed the assortments of vests and other clothing that was hanging in the closet out of his face before stepping into view. “We’re right ’ere, Var, but Sam’s right - we should --” He stopped abruptly as a shadow blocked the light behind Carmon and Vari’s in the doorframe. If they were all present and accounted for, then it could only be one person. Edward felt his heart sink. They were going to get caught and he knew it; it was only a matter of time.
[[PD - I figured that perhaps we could have Mr. Jansen come up, if you and Will are still doing that idea you told me about…  ]]
-----------
Keyara glanced back at him one last time before one of the soldiers opened the door for her and she left. The weight of the entire evening seemed lifted and she no longer needed to be tense and on-guard. Making her way up to the main deck, Keyara went over to the railing on the starboard side of the Endeavour and watched the ocean. Finally she had the chance to be left alone with her thoughts. Tonight was one of the most memorable nights she’d had in a long time… Stop it, she told herself, you don’t feel that way about him and you know it. Tonight was just dinner between friends, that’s all. Keyara sighed. “Of course, you stupid girl, that’s why you’re out here and can’t get him off your mind,” she breathed softly.
[[PD - I figured Keykey would be the one to fall in love quicker and think everything is going very well… just like we talked about.  ]]

[ Heey PD I thought we could get him shackled to his house.. I'm kinda sorry for Cole and I really hesitated perhaps to let Norrie change his mind. But he really believes Cole betraye him. }
"I wish I could believe that. Now shackle her." the Commodore commanded. His voice was stern but a glimmer of doubt fell over him like a shadow. Couldn't he trust him? Cole had always been a loyal man, a friend. But then fate seemed to have it's own course: friends became enemies, lovers were seperated.. For a moment his mind trailed off and he thought of Elizabeth. Then he noticed Alex taking a few steps back. "Put them on." he repeated.
If he would arrest Cole, not only Cole would be disgraced, but his entire family. Norrington shook his head as if he had reached his final conclusion. He'd caught Cole on the scene of crime. Whoever cooperated with a pirate, was like a pirate and therefore be punished like one.
He looked over to the sunny main street, enough soldiers patrolled the streets. He called out for 4 of them and they hurried over to their commander. After he'd shackled Cole's wrists he mounted his horse and nodded to the soldiers. "Please, assist me with getting these pirates over to the Applegate mansion. It's urgent." he added.
[So I actually expected Cole to shackle Alex, but you don't want that, tell me and I'll edit ]
-------
[Jep, I think it's code green for plan B  (don't mind me  ) ]
"Don't stop now Ed" Sam and she glanced at Edward who's gaze seemed to be fixed at the door. She quickly turned, her gun now aimed on a dark figure who'd appeared behind Vari and Carmon. Sam had the urge to scream, but her throat seemed sore all of the sudden. She wished Lotty and Em wouldn't get out of their hiding places to check what was going on.. They were in big trouble. _________________

Alex turned her glare on Cole. So he's not a pirate, she realized. That would stand to reason. Still, what does he want with me?

(Anie, yeah, I know... This aughta be good...)
A little surprised, Will looked into Elizabeth's brown eyes and said, "what is it? Anything."
_______________
Emma rolled out right behind Sam and smiled at Vari. "Var..." she stopped in mid-sentence as she too noticed the large shadow behind Carmon and Vari. She gulped and felt for her pistol again. They were in some trouble now.
Lotty started to push her way out of the closet behind Edward when she noticed him stop. She was about to move him out of the way so she could get into the bedroom too when she noticed he was looking at something and looking rather pale. She stopped and remained hidden, listening. Something wasn't right, the room was dead silent.
Carmon smiled over at Vari and then she looked around the room at the other pirates as they each emerged. When she saw them all stop and stare, wide-eyed at her and Vari she gave the other woman a puzzled look. That was when she noticed the great figure who had moved in behind them. She gasped. It was her step-father, Mr. Jansen!
Jansen stood right behind Vari and Carmon and in a calm, eerie voice said, "what is this?"
The room was silent and Lotty certainly stayed where she was.
(yeah, ok.... this is working out fine!  )
_____________
(that's fine with me... you're right, Ara. sorry...)
The moment Keyara left, Beckett turned away and quietly sat down at his desk. He noticed the papers and drawings of the Dead Man's Chest, which he had almost forgotten about a few tense moments ago. Now everything raced back into his mind, the Chest, Jack Sparrow, the escape on Port Royal. Yes, he had a lot to do. Keyara quickly started to vanish from his mind as he began looking over papers and various other business he still had to attend to. However, part of his mind remained on her and what exactly he could do with her. It was obvious she had some kind of feeling for him. That could come in handy before the end, he thought. His thoughts were coming easier now that she was gone and now he could also plan better without her.
______________
(no, that's fine! If Norrie believes Cole is a betrayer than he has to do what he thinks is right... and in some ways Cole is. and about the shackling... that's fine too!)
Cole took the shackles and moved over to Alex. He gave her a slightly sorrowful look before putting them on her wrists. "There's one thing I need to know," he whispered. Before he continued he quickly looked back to see if the Commodore was watching. When he noticed Norrington seemed to be deep in thought he continued, "do you know a Edward Blackhaven?" But before he knew it the Commodore had taken a hold of him and was shackling him too. He stared at the man with a sad and lonely look on his face, similar to a little puppy. But it turned into a look of horror when he heard they were going to the Applegate home. "what?" he looked from soldier to soldier and finally at Norrington himself. But all he could get out was, "no, we can't. that's not where you take... pirates."

"This, Sir, will be the last moment ye'll see your daughter and her friend alive unless ye cooperate." Sam said in a threatening tone. In a split second she'd made up a story. It would be better to continue Vari's game, to let her play the gentlewoman, perhaps it could save them all. She pointed her gun from Carmon to mr Jansen. "Now, lets go down to business: where's all yer money?"
----------
James noticed the panic in Cole's voice and in this state of fear he seemed so completely innocent: Cole played his part well. He ignored the slight feeling of sympathy he had and reminded himself that perhaps he could make this disaster undone by eliminating the cause..
"No mr Applegate," Norrington replied. "The Fort will be your new residence but not for we've made a short stop at your house so you can explain this to your step-father."

Alex looked incredulously at him. "You couldn't have just asked me on more normal pretences?" she whispered when the commodore looked away. "I was in the midst of escaping, and it very well might have worked if you hadn't grabbed me!"

Edward came over and stood next to Sam, hoping Lotty would stay where she was. “Aye,” he nodded, “and ye’d best make it quick. We ain’t got all day.” He glanced briefly at Carmon and Vari, but kept his pistol aimed on Mr. Jansen. If this man so much as looked at him wrong, Edward wouldn’t hesitate to fill him with holes.
Vari quickly pulled a frightened look. “Please don’t harm us,” she said calmly, “I’m sure we can work something out?” She glanced hopefully at Mr. Jansen and then at Carmon. It was hard to be believable and tricky now more than ever and Vari hoped she wouldn’t crack under the pressure…
-----------
[[*ish at a loss of what to do with Keykey*  ]]
After another few minutes of standing alone on the deck of the Endeavour, Keyara made her way back to her cabin. It had been a rather trying day and now what she needed most was to relax. Closing the door behind her, she changed into her evening attire and let her hair down out of the neatly folded bun it had been pinned up in all day. Keyara then walked over to the shelves on the wall opposite of her and pulled out a thick, dusty book. She had always loved to read and was very well-read herself, ever since she was a small girl. Opening to the first page, Keyara read until she felt her eyelids becoming heavy, at which point she gave in and fell asleep, dreaming of pleasant things.
[[I guess we’re going to the next day then, PD?  ]]

It didn't take long for Carmon to catch on to the act. She looked back at her step-father with a pleading, scared look on her face. She was good at playing weak and innocent, so this would should be easy, right? She had done it before to get out of trouble, but this time it was even more exciting with pirates and guns and threats.
Emma stood by Sam and Edward and glared Mr. Jansen down. She almost hoped he would make a wrong move so she could help send him to his rightful place.
Jansen scowled at the three pirates, but he began leading the way down the stairs. His mind was still working though, he could trap these pirates yet.
Lotty thought she heard the noise in the room become less and less. After a short time of breathlessly waiting, she slowly emerged and looked around the room. She felt a little left out, but somewhat pleased she wasn't involved with the whole mess. She stood in Cole's room and thought about what Edward might want her to do. Should she follow them or stay where she was? She peeked out the door and decide they might need her help before the end.
______________
"Well," Cole tried to think of something good to say in his defense. "how was I suppose to know? And I doubt you would've just walked up to me to answer all my questions." Cole glared at Alex until he heard Norrington's voice again. His face brightened slightly as he heard the commodore say 'no', but all too soon it returned to the pale complexion it had been. Take him to his house to explain it to his step-father? Cole wanted no part of that business. "Commodore, sir, why don't you leave me at my new... umm, residence," here he paused and gave Fort Charles a rather worried look, "and you can tell my step-father?" he forced a smile.
_______________
(that was perfect, Ara!  yeah... I'll take Becky to the next day and we can start there...)
Lord Beckett emerged from his cabin the next day. He was quite refreshed from a good nights sleep. He stood by the glass cabin doors and scanned the deck of his ship. The sun was just beginning to rise and the whole atmosphere of the ship was reflective of what the perfect early morning on a vessel should be. He walked over the rail and stood for a moment looking out at the perfectly blue ocean and gathered his thoughts about the past day.
(you could bring Keykey in here if ya want )

((No worries, Lizzie won't ask for anything naughty... ))
"I'd like you to teach me to fight with a sword," Elizabeth said quickly, before the ladylike side of her brain could begin to argue with her. "Just so I know how to defend myself. Please?" she asked, attempting to look cute by widening her eyes and pouting a bit. _________________

"Do you usually do this to people?" she asked in amazement. "Just grab random people off of the streets and demand things of them? Just because I'm a pirate doesn't mean I know everyone!" she shot back. Her dark eyes blazed with annoyance. "I'm going to be taken back now, thanks to you!"

Edit:
Sam nodded at Edward and mumbled: "Why don't ye guard the hostages.." She winked and hoped Ed would understand her intentions: they had to find a way to escape. At least all of them wouldn't be trapped here." She pointed her gun at Jansen's back and pushed him through the doorway. "Move it. Hurry"
----
((When will Beckett arrive? And where will he meet up with Norrie and the rest? ))
Norrington blinked as he rode into the bright sunlight which fell on the Main Street. It promised to be another beautiful day but the Commodore already knew he wouldn't have the time or possibility to enjoy it.
"That would be easy for you wouldn't it, Mr Applegate?" He looked back at Cole as he rode in front of the procession. "No, you ought to take responsibility for your deeds. You shall do that."

Edward watched Sam carefully before nodding slowly. Be careful, Sam, was all he could think. This man, Jansen, was tricky, perhaps even a bit more than Sam could handle. He turned to face the others. “All right… anyone have a plan?” Edward asked, the distress clear in his eyes.
Vari laughed softly. “It seems the infamous Edward Blackhaven has lost his knack for comin’ up with bold an’ darin’ ideas? Never thought I’d see the day.” Then she turned to Carmon. “Well, he’s your step-father… ye know him better than all of us, lass.”
-----------
Keyara opened her eyes in the dark room, which was now taking on a soft, orange glow. She sat up, trying to remember exactly where she was. Then it all quickly came back to her… the Endeavour, the East India Company and… Still haven’t gotten him off your mind? Keyara asked herself as she stood up and got dressed. Heading towards the old mirrored vanity, she decided to leave her hair down today. On the dusty wooden vanity, Keyara noticed a small blue box. Upon lifting the lid, she watched as two small figurines; a man and a woman dressed in their best clothing, danced together as a beautiful, yet haunting melody played. A music box such as this wouldn’t have belonged to any of the men aboard, and it looked as if though it hadn’t been touched in ages. Keyara closed its lid and left the cabin.
Stepping back out onto deck, she noticed Beckett standing near the rail with his back towards her. Keyara smoothed out the folds in her silky cream-colored gown before clearing her throat and making her way over. “Good morning, Lord Beckett.” She smiled, watching the sunrise with him. “It’s going to be another beautiful day.”

(well, I knew that, Anie. Good, dear Lizzie!)
Will stared at Elizabeth, a slow smile spreading across his face. He was flattered that she might want him to teach her how to use a sword when her father could get her the best sword master there was. "of course, Elizabeth." he gazed at her for a moment longer before pulling his eyes away and glancing back down at the floor.
_______________
"No, of course I don't!" Cole whispered back at Alex, wondering how long it would take until the Commodore caught on to their conversation, "but you are a pirate and pirates know a lot about the whereabouts of other pirates, right?" As they came out into the sunlit street, Cole looked away from Alex and back at Norrington as he heard the Commodore addressing him again. He thought over his answer. It had to be something good. "Why would it be to easy? They could," he paused and thought, "still visit me in the... jail" he had never been in a prison cell. Ah, well, a new experience never hurt, he thought. "yes, and isn't it the Commodore's job to throw pirates in jail? Not carry them all over the county side. Pirates can't take responsibility for their actions because, well, to put it simply, sir, pirates are pirates. You don't expect them to, do you?" Cole was trying to sneak around the Commodore by any means possible, even if it meant admitting that he was something he truly didn't think he was.
__________________
(So where exactly are they? Vari, Carms, Ed and Emma, that is? Are they just outside of Cole's room?)
Emma, pistol still drawn, watched as Sam and Edward talked about "captives" and all that right in front of Jansen. It was bloody brilliant. She decided to go with Sam, after all, she couldn't have her friend left alone with that creep.
After the two left with Mr. Jansen, Carmon silently listened to Edward and Vari. Her eyes had grown fairly large with the excitement and her heart raced. However, when she saw the two turn their gaze on her she fumbled for words. "well, he's... he doesn't take "no" for an answer. He's harsh and he's pretty sneaky. You never know what he'll think or say next." but she quickly added, "but mother loves him so there must be something in him." she felt bad she couldn't help them any more.
Lotty grinned with relief as she saw the huddled group of Carmon, Edward and Varianna. She advanced toward them. "what exactly happened back there?" she glance back at the room. "and where's Sam and Emma?"
______________
With the two women behind him, Jansen slowly walked down the stairs. He had the perfect plan and it was even better now that there were only two of them. And just mere women too, he chuckled to himself.
___________
(ahhh, you mean the blue box? I think I got ya... hmm, maybe Key should ask Beckett about it sometime... )
On hearing a voice coming from behind, Lord Beckett quickly turned to see Keyara Pierce. Eh, he had almost forgotten about her. He hardly made a response, he only looked back at the rolling ocean and nodded. "I trust you slept well, Ms, Pierce." he said after a while.

(( Oh my PD! Jansen really gives me the creeps! *shudders* ))
Sam nodded reassuringly to Edward and Vari and smiled at Emma. She was immensly relieved that her friend decided to join her. In the few seconds that they were descending the stairs Sam thought of the irony of this day: only 2 hours earlier she could also have turned to the docks, find a ship to sail away.. but then she wouldn't have met Edward..
"Keep yer hands where we can see them savy?" Sam commanded and she placed her pistol on the back of Jansen's head to put him under more pressure. She knew Jansen was a cunning and sneaky man and she had to watch him because all they had to do was to win the others as much time to escape.. and then, then she and Em had to find a way out themselves.
-----
James remained silent for a moment, his thought dwelled on other matters when he noticed soft whispering among Cole and the girl. The sounds on main street prevented Norrington to hear everything but he clearly heard Cole say the phrase: about the whereabouts of other pirates. James smirked, proof seemed to pile up that Cole indeed had been an intriguer all along, but he would tell all his secrets James thought. The good or the bad way.
"So you admit you are a pirate then Applegate." was the only reply Cole could get. Norrington had enough, he couldn't talk with his so-called friend any longer..

Alex rolled her eyes. "Do I look like some sort of oracle to you?" she snarled. "Of course I don't know everyone! But I might be persuaded to help you if you would kindly shut up and help me escape!"
