Vari stumbled backwards a bit as the Commodore entered. She briefly caught the glances of Cole and Alex as they were dragged inside by two soldiers. Upon hearing what Sam had to say, she nodded quickly. “Aye, it’s true,” Vari said. “This man has been stealing from merchant ships,” she replied, motioning at Mr. Jansen with her pistol still in hand.
-----------
Edward chuckled at Charlotte, “Well, at least we’ll blend in a bit more. Besides, you’ll only have to wear them until we’re out of Port Royal.” Then he heard Carmon at the door and called back, “Aye, we’re finished.” Walking over to pull the door open, he listened carefully to hear voices downstairs; there was Vari, Sam, Mr. Jansen and… “Commodore Norrington!” Edward said in a breathless whisper.
-----------
“Oh,” Keyara said meekly, her gaze cast downward. “Well, it’s just - I thought…” Here she paused, a confused look passing over her face. Silent for a few moments and lost in her thoughts she quietly asked, “Were you married once by any chance?”

(awww, you're welcome, Will!  )
Jansen pushed Sam aside, she was of no concern anymore, and he ignored Vari. After all, what could either of them do? He rolled his eyes at what they were trying to pull on the Commodore. "Commodore Norrington," he began addressing the man until he saw two guards enter with a couple of pirates. One of them was... Nicolas? He glared at Cole with a look that would make even a grown man nervous.
Cole only moved when the officers force him to, and he sure as anything didn't wish to look Jansen in the eyes. He wasn't particularly too scared of the man, really, he just... preferred not to tell him anything. Nottomention, he couldn't help but direct most of his attention to the three pirates in the room with his step-father. Unfortunately, that was something that did not escape Jansen's piercing glance.
"what is this?" Mr. Jansen demanded.
____________
Emma tried to follow Sam and Vari's lead, but she wasn't as sure about it as they seemed to be. Surely, the Commodore wouldn't fall for it. She knew they should've never gotten caught up in Edward's friend and this, this mess. But there was nothing else for her to do now. She couldn't change the past. Everything seemed to be going at an alarming pace and she couldn't keep up with all the change. They were caught. It was all over. Unless Edward and Lotty could come and bale them out.
___________
In response to Edward, Lotty raised an eyebrow sarcastically. She couldn't help but roll her eyes, hitch up her breeches (again) and follow him to the door. She was lost in her own thoughts when she heard him say "Commodore Norrington!". She took a step back and gasped.
Carmon nodded sadly. "I'm afraid so. What do we do now?" she implored, looking from Ed to Lotty. Maybe adventure wasn't quite what she wanted after all? How would they all get out of this mess? She wrung her hands worriedly.
____________
Thinking the conversation, or at least that part of it, was over, Lord Beckett let his thoughts drift off again. He didn't take any more notice of Keyara, that is, until she addressed the matter again. Why wouldn't she let it drop? He sighed and turned back to her, quickly trying to think of a sly comeback, but one wasn't coming. Finally he said, "Ms. Pierce, are you hungry?"

"This" the Commodore began slowly "this is you're stephson if I'm not mistaken." His eyes wandered again over the pirates, over the girl who'd stolen from the market. He'd even asked her a favour. Then over two redheads, both unfamiliar but unmistakenly pirates.
"Now, tell me. What's going on here." he repeated and his voice contained a certain threat which couldn't escape mr Jansen.
----
Sam felt uncomfortable without her gun but still pointed her sword at Jansen. Annoyed by the fact they were excluded from their little chat she looked curious at the boy who had to be Cole. With a grin she winked at him and then turned to the Commodore: "Sir you aren't listening. We captured this man."

Alex eyed the other pirates. She glanced at the commodore. Perhaps if she could just distract him long enough...

Calloniel (PD) wrote: Will smiled at her, however he couldn't help but quickly glance around the room in a nervous way. He wondered where the Governor was and if he would mind. But finally he nodded at her and at that time he also noticed her hand in his. He didn't say anything and left it at that, but he wasn't quite sure if they should go or say something or what was quite proper. Ugh, he wished something would just happen. Although he knew she didn't mind things that weren't proper, he still felt he should make some attempt. Wait, no he shouldn't. That was the mess that caught him before he met Jack. Finally he broke his chain of thoughts and the silence, "of course, Elizabeth."
Elizabeth smiled; Will looked so cute when he was uncertain. "Don't worry, Will, my father's away on business all day. Anyway, surely he can't object to his daughter's desire to learn self-defense?" Never mind that I'll be doing the learning in a small space, alone with you, she thought cheekily. That's one detail I'll leave out of it when I tell Father about this._________________

(Another quick *bump!* as well as continuing the Willabeth story...  )
Will nodded slowly, "of course," he said again. But he was still unsure if they should just leave or tell someone. He tried to think it through. What should he do? He decided it might be alright to tell the butler and to leave. Just so they knew where Elizabeth was and that she was safe. Outloud he said, "We should tell one of the maids or the butler so your father doesn't worry. Then we can go."

Vari watched the Commodore intently before glancing at Sam and slipping a piece of paper into her hand. It was neatly folded with thick black lettering that read, ‘To Edward’. “Make sure he gets this,” she whispered before turning back to Norrington and Jansen. “It seems he,” Vari said, motioning to Norrington, “has something you want, Mr. Jansen, and you have something he wants. I propose a trade. Hand the boy over to his step-father, and as a replacement, take me.” Her hazel eyes shined with a new light. If Sam and the others could escape with Cole, at least they’d have someone who knew where to get a ship and how to act more convincing than she did. And not only that, but Vari would be left with Alex, a magnificent escape artist, and the two could conjure up a plan.
-----------
Edward looked at the two women with a growing concern in his eyes. “We leave. It’s no use if we’re all caught.” He knew that the others would probably want to help out Sam, Emma and Vari, but sometimes in these situations it was best to act first and think later. “Come on.” He motioned towards the window and started walking over to it before he was stopped.
-----------
Keyara looked at Beckett imploringly as he spoke. Food had been the last thing on her mind, but it was now clear that by changing the subject he was purposefully avoiding her inquiries. She nodded once before adding, “Yes, I am.” For now she would play along, but perhaps she would just have to bring this subject up again at a later point…

Jansen nodded slowly in reply to the Commodore. "of course he is," he said, eyeing Cole harshly. He quickly turned back to Sam and Vari. "do you really think you're going to be able to lie and make deals with the Commodore like this? Why would he only take you when he can have the whole lot of you? These three are the pirates and there are two more upstairs with my step-daughter." he glared at Vari, Emma and Sam. They wouldn't get out of this that easily. "now, can you remove them from my house and tell my why he," here he motioned at Cole, "is in chains?"
Cole caught Sam's wink. What was going on? We watch curiously. Did they really think this would work? Did they not know his step-father? His heart skipped a beat when he heard Jansen comment on two more pirates upstairs. Edward had come while he had been gone! Mentally, he kicked himself for ever running off. He shook his head slightly as he heard Vari's deal. It would never work.
Emma watched Vari, wondering what she was doing? And how would this save the rest of them? She furrowed her brow with concern. The situation was pretty much out of their hands now if Charlotte and Edward couldn't save them.
_____________
Lord Beckett studied Keyara for a while longer, deep in thought. What was on her mind, he wondered. Normally for him reading people was as easy as reading a book, but for some reason she proved a tad harder. Unfortunately, he knew she had seen through his purposeful change of the subject, but at least she had gone along with it. It was none of her business anyway. She was merely another one of his employees, a tool. He remained deep in thought for a little while longer before he turned and motioned to one of the servants to come over. "Bring this fine lady some breakfast," he said and the servant hurried away.
________________
Charlotte nodded in agreement to Edward. She knew as well as he did that Sam, Vari and Emma could help themselves for now. "Aye, it's the only thing we can do. And if we can at least get away we can spring 'em from jail later. The Commodore won't hang them right away." she quickly followed him to the window.
Carmon wasn't so sure. "but..." she stopped and looked back down the hallway towards the stairs. She started wondering, where had Cole had gotten to anyway? In this situation, he'd know what to do. He would be able to get Vari and Sam and Emma out, right? She had always thought he could anyway.

"Ah, of course." Elizabeth nodded and said to her maid Estrella, who just happened to be walking by, "Estrella, if Father asks about me today please tell him I've taken up swordfighting lessons with Mr. Turner and that I'll be in his smithy."

Norrington started to laugh upon hearing Vari's proposal. "I never did and never shall make deals with pirates." he said in a threatening tone. "You're all under arrest!" Then he called over to the two soldiers outside and when they hurried in he commanded them to inspect the scond floor for more pirates.
"About your son." he started "He is ironed because he should be. He helped a pirate escape, several in fact and I took him here to make him take responsibility."
----
Sam couldn't hide her curiosity when Vari passed her the note. What did the note say? Did Vari know this on forehand? But when she heard her next comment Sam was about to explode of resentment. She grabbed Vari's arm but addressed the Commodore: "My friend is mistaken" and she threw Vari a warning look which meant Don't you ever think about surrendering.... "Please understand, there's somethin' to trade. We'll not hurt ye daughter." she smiled to Jansen. "If ye let us go unhindered."

Vari frowned at Norrington indignantly. “That’s funny,” she said, smirking and raising her voice, “since just yesterday we made a rather interesting deal, do ye not remember that, Commodore?” She glared at him, not afraid to stare this man down, no matter just how powerful he was. “Do you not remember that?” Vari would be more than happy to take him up on his previous offer and readied the pistol in her hand.
-----------
Edward stopped in his tracks as Carmon hesitated. He could try to persuade her, beg her to follow him and Lotty, but instead he walked back over to her. “Look, there’s one more thing we could try; although we risk exposing ourselves to the Commodore, we might just be able to strike up a deal with Jansen and Norrington. But you need to play along with it, all right?” He looked at Carmon hopefully.
[[So I guess we’re going to have them ‘threaten’ Carmon downstairs in front of the others like Will had Sam suggest?  ]]
-----------
Keyara pulled a look similar to that of a child who were denied they wanted, but quickly wiped it off her face. She straightened her posture and folded her hands behind her back, looking as innocent as possible. “Will you not be joining me?” Keyara asked, taking a step towards him.

Will smiled kindly at the maid as Elizabeth addressed her. When she was done, he turned his soft eyes back to her. He held out his arm to Elizabeth, although it felt a little awkward. He walked with her to the door and opened it. He knew he should start the conversation, but about what? What could he say? He glanced around the well-kept Swann yard as the door of the house shut behind them, and they began to descend the steps.
_________________
A smug look appeared on Jansen's face as the Commodore arrested the pirates. "Oh, shut up you bloody pirate!" he glared at Vari as she continued to try to squirm her way out of her well-deserved fate. His face turned stern once more, however, when Norrington addressed the matter of Nicolas. He nodded and glared at Cole, "is this true?" but before Cole could answer, he was distracted by Sam, "what?" he stormed. "what do you mean? How will you hurt her if you're down here?"
Cole breathed a sigh of relief as the piercing eyes of his step-father were redirected to Sam. Now he had more time to think of a convincing argument to what the Commodore said against him. He bit his lower lip and lost himself in his musings for a short time. What could he say? How should he say it? What was Ed doing? Was he even really here? where was Carmon? He tried to straighten everything out in his mind as the pirates bought him some time.
Emma saw the paper Vari passed to Sam. She looked from Vari, back to Sam, full of curiosity. Ugh, she glared at Norrington and Jansen. They both disgusted her. However, when she heard Sam's threat a small smile crossed her face, but would Edward and Charlotte go along with it? Did they even know about it to put Carmon in the necessary position to convince Norrington and Jansen they meant business?
______________
Charlotte remained by the window, watching Edward. What was in his mind now? He couldn't be serious!?
Carmon looked up at Ed, back at Charlotte, and then toward the staircase. What was he exactly planning to do? "what do you mean?" she asked cautiously.
(I guess so  )
______________
As Keyara took a step closer to him, Lord Beckett took a step back. Her look hadn't escaped him, though. She wouldn't let it drop, he sighed. She would bring it back up, but she might want to begin re-thinking about that. She didn't want to question him too much. "No," he paused and glanced over at her before looking back at some inanimate object on the deck, "I'm afraid not today." Part of him wanted to, but he knew it was best for now if he kept his distance.

(( Just to make things clear, I didn't intend to have Edward change his plans I just wanted to bring it up in order to shock Jansen and to make Norrie think there are more pirates he didn't know about. But it could be fun.. what do ya think?  Either way, there are two soldiers on their way upstairs ))
The Commodore narrowed his eyes but his face remained blank when he looked at Vari. Of course she wouldn't have forgotten. He wished with all his heart that she'd obliged him then but she didn't. Fate he had told himself had probably intervened. There were unfinished business which he had attend to now.
"You choose to run which causes my offer to be invalid now. I am very sorry for you."
------
Sam smiled at Jansen's reaction. "Apparantly you have forgotten our friends upstairs. It doesn't matter, we'll decide when you'll get her back." She raised her eyebrows at Vari's comment. Offer, what offer? Still there wasn't any sound from the soldiers upstairs. Perhaps Edward did escape as she suggested earlier.. Sam bit her lip. Their stories would soon turn against them. If they didn't get any help she was sure they would be lost. _________________
