The Pirate and His Fish II (Sequel POTC Story)

What Is Going On?

"Liz that's absolutely insane. I wanted to come say bye to you but Will told me there was no time. I was so worried." Kat said after her friend had told her how she escaped from prison.

Liz gave a soft smile, "I know he told me Beckett wanted to speak to you alone... He's a dangerous man, Kat."

Kat huffed and leaned on the side of the ship with both elbows resting against the wood. "Believe me I know... Did he ever mention to you what his cut of the deal was with me?"

"Yes," Liz turned towards Kat fully, "God forbid but if we can't make peace with Beckett and get him what he wants to set us all free, you need to hop in the ocean and swim far, far away before he catches you. His boats may catch up to the Black Pearl but they can't catch up to a mermaid. His agreement he has with you is written in these letters."

Kat turned her head towards Liz, "That means I'd have to disappear, start all over again... I couldn't do that. I've come to far, I can't leave after all of this has happened to me."

"All of Jack Sparrow you mean." Liz gave a knowing smile, "Will and I would be dead and you would face a fate maybe even worse but you'd still rather that then leave him." She shook her head laughing, "Never thought I'd see the free spirit of my best friend tethered to a pirate."

"Maybe we shouldn't be so disdained by the term of pirates. I mean look at us," Kat gestured towards their outfits, "We are well on our way to becoming one. Or perhaps already are."

"Can't argue with you there." Elizabeth reached in to her back pocket and pulled out a few letters, "Beckett let me go with the condition of bringing him back a Compass... He said this is what you and Will are after."

"Beckett!" Gibbs interrupted the two girls as he overheard that blasted name. He looked at the letters that stated that Kat and Will both were helping Beckett.

Elizabeth gave him a weary look, "Yes, they're signed, Lord Cutler Beckett of the East India Trading Company."

Jack appeared next to Gibbs, "Argh" he said upon hearing the name.

"How do you two know him?" Kat questioned.

Gibbs ignored her and pointed a finger in her way, "You and Will have been working for Beckett, and you never said a word!" The look of anger was very discerning to Kat.

Jack on the other hand looked betrayed by Kat. The woman he had come to love was now working with Beckett. Ugh, stupid name.

"Beckett wants the Compass. Only reason for that" Gibbs added.

"He wants the chest." Jack muttered.

"Yes, he did say something about a chest." Elizabeth said still looking weary.

Jack snapped towards Kat, "And you knew about this? You've been trying to get this my Compass for Beckett and didn't feel the unyielding need to tell me?" He said angrily taking a step towards the shorter girl.

Kat's mouth opened, "I did not! I knew he wanted that stupid Compass but not for what! How was I supposed to know that you even knew of Beckett? I'm just trying to save Will and Elizabeth from the noose!" She yelled back.

Jack was borderline livid, "What for? What has he got on you to put you up to this?"

"It doesn't matter! If you would just give me the bloody compass and forget about this whole stupid chest thing I could be on my way!"

Jack gripped Kat's arm and brought her close, "Let me explain something to you about this 'stupid chest thing'. If the company controls the chest, they control the sea, and that, luv, is a truly discomforting notion." Kat ripped her arm out of Jack's grip.
