Gibbs leaned back, away from Will's face, with wide eyes. He panted and looked away from him. "Mary, not another debt." he silently said under his breath while rubbing the back of his neck.

______________

Jack's head slowly came out of the barrel with knitted eyebrows that sat below his bandana.

He spun around on his heel and settled his back into a sway. His eyes looked over Bootstrap's face and he said, "So, ye are sayin'..I'm immortal now?" He curled up the side of his lip.

"Will!" Elizabeth exclaimed under her breath, rushing over to support him as he lay there gasping for air. "Will, what happened? What debt?"
_______________________________

"Aye," Bootstrap replied, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "If we weren't immortal, Jones would've long ago lost his crew t' suicide, an' without a crew, 'e can't run a ship. Not to mention, no mere mortal could crew this ship for very long an' live to tell th' tale. Jus' ask William. Jones doesn't care how tired or sick or hurt his crew is; he wants immediate action, an' the punishment for slacking is far worse than anythin' ye might endure if ye just ignored yer body's protests an' worked anyway...It's like I said, Jack; yer one of us now." As if to illustrate his point, Bootstrap suddenly pulled a pistol out of his coat and shot Jack in the chest. "See?"

"A debt?" Ragetti said softly as he looked at Pintel. "Do you know what he's talk'ng about?" he said as he wooden eyeball squeeked in the socket.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will looked at Elizabeth's face and then grabbed her hand in his, "Jack owes......Davey Jones a debt......I believe one hundred years......of service..." he squeezed her hand tightly, "We have to go to Tia Dalma.....we need to help Jack!"

Mr. Gibbs' face pruned. He plopped himself back into the boat's bench. "I thought we 'ad already seen 'nough of-... her..." His eyes looked over at Elizabeth, then to William.

______________

"AH!" Sounded a pathetic sort of yelp from Jack's lip.

The strong power from the pistol had kicked Jack's body up against the mossy walls. His kohl-rimmed eyes were wide eyed and slowly blinking.

Fog from the gun powder came floating up from the chest wound. "That was...interesting."

Elizabeth bit her lower lip in confusion. "Tia Dalma?" she echoed, slightly raising one eyebrow.
______________________

"Ye deserved it," Bootstrap said bluntly, locking the pistol and putting it away. "For bein' foolish enough to sell yer soul in th' first place."

((Frodo, it's an eternity of years, not 100, an eternity... that is much longer!))

Pintel looked at his friend. "Well... we might not be seein' cap'n Jack for awhile!" he said, then went back to rowing.
"We going to that Tia Dalma? Again?" Pintel shook his head, wet hair flopping over his shoulders...

"Yes....we need to reach Tia now! It's important.....she may be able to save Jack," Will said as his breath and heart rate began to return to normal.

He then sat up and took in a deep breath.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ragetti looked at Pintel and shrugged his shoulders, "I guess we are goin' ta 'er." He grabbed and oar and began to row.

Gibbs looked irritated as he gave shifty eyes towards the rest of the faces in the boat. "Look, Will..." he said in the nicest tone he had, "The crew and myself are hopin' for some sort of a reason we should visit-her 'gain."

________________

Jack's eyes looked over Bill. "Is that what it 'as come to then?" He stepped forward towards where Bootstrap was. "That, ye would 'ave rather watched dear ol' Jack drown that day then?"

"And I'm still waiting to find out who 'she' is," Elizabeth said a bit impatiently. "Why would 'she' be able to help Jack any more than we can?"
____________________

"P'raps if dear ol' Jack hadn't gotten the notion into his head that 'e was a fish an' could swim as far or as long as he bloody wanted, dear ol' Jack wouldn't have started to drown," Bootstrap shot back, staying where he was. Truth be told, he held himself a bit responsible for not being there to keep Jack from doing anything stupid, but he was far to frustrated with the situation to simply let Jack off the hook. His decision was, after all, the root of a majority of both of their problems. If Jack hadn't bargained with Jones to get his ship back, there would have been no Black Pearl. Without the Black Pearl, there would have been nothing to catch Barbossa's eye. Without Barbossa, there would have been no mutiny. Without the mutiny, he wouldn't have ended up at the bottom of the ocean and been forced to make a bargain with Jones. And without the bargain with Jones, neither of them would be on this bloody ship at this very moment with nothing to look forward to except endless years of servitude.

Will became irritated with Gibbs. "I just told you mate! We must go to her because she may be able to save Jack! Do you want to be the one responsible for abadoning Jack?" Will said angrily as he leaned into Gibbs face.

Will backed away from Gibbs and turned softly to Elizabeth. He stroked her hand and said, "Don't worry Elizabeth. Tia Dalma is our friend. I have no feelings for her." He smiled softly as he looked into her eyes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ragetti giggled toward Pintel as he watched Will and Gibbs fight. "Looks like we're gunna get a free show!"

"Well, there's the code to consider." Gibbs said with shifty eyes towards William. "And plus, it's bad luck to visit her the same month says I...and nothin' good will come o' tha'."

Jack looked at Bootstrap, somewhat understanding what he said was true. But in the other understanding, he took it as a rude remark.

"But mate, I could'nt let 'er go like that..." his eyes looked sober, but then he added with a silly grin creaping across his face, "And I would've ne'er been known as Captain Jack Sparrow."

Pintel smiled, black and yellow teeth showing, "aye," he said to Ragetti. He grabbed the other ore and started rowing...

Elizabeth turned her eyes away from Will's, instead choosing to occupy herself with tracing the weathered patterns in the wood of the longboat with her finger. "I don't doubt that, Will," she said quietly, still avoiding his gaze. Realizing that she was drawing attention to herself, she lifted her head again. A bit more loudly, she added, "Mr. Gibbs, we owe Jack our lives. If there is any way to save him..."
____________________

Bootstrap stood and drew himself to his full height, towering over Jack. He seemed to contemplate arguing further for a moment, then simply sighed defeatedly and turned to leave. "Jus' forget it, Jack," he said wearily. "Forget I said anythin'. I make a point of keepin' the past in the past, an' thus far it's proven t' be a sound policy...C'mon; there's still a lot more for ye to learn."

Will continued to stare at Elizabeth, even after she turned away. Hearing what she said under her lips, Will gripped her wrist tightly and said under his breath, "And what exactly is that supposed to mean?" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ragetti giggled lightly and nudged Pintel in the arm. He pointed toward Elizabeth and Will. "I bet that she'll win da fight before 'im. What do you say?"

"It means I have faith in your fidelity," Elizabeth replied obviously. "You are an honourable man, and I have no reason to doubt that you would respect our engagement. Besides, it would take all the fun out of our wedding night if you did not," she added slyly, giving him a chaste kiss on the cheek before directing her attention back to Mr. Gibbs. "Well?"
