3rd Person's POV
Jack goes to the rail and waits, pretending to look out at the sea. Elizabeth, dressed in sailor's clothes to excellent effect, joins him.
"You didn't tell Commodore Norrington everything."
Jack nods with a smirk, "I noticed neither did you. The same reason I imagine."
Elizabeth sighs and shakes her head, "He wouldn't have risked it."
Jack chuckles humorlessly, "Could've gotten him drunk."
Elizabeth looks over with sad eyes.
Jack shrugs, "Don't get me wrong love. I admire a person who is willing to do whatever is necessary."
"You're a smart man Jack. But I don't entirely trust you."
Norrington comes over with Cat behind him. Norrington closes the compass in his hand then tosses it to Jack.
"With me Sparrow."
Norrington and Jack walk away leaving Cat to lean on a rail by Elizabeth.
Elizabeth sighs sadly while looking at the ocean, "These men will be facing an enemy that seemingly cannot be killed."
Cat shakes her head with a reassuring smile, "Jack has a plan. If it succeeds, then any battle will be decidedly brief... and one-sided."
"How can you trust him so easily? Especially after he hurt you."
Cat looks out at the moon, "I don't know. I look into his eyes and I can just tell."
Elizabeth nods, "What's his plan?"
Cat opens her mouth to speak but is interrupted by a shout, "LAND HO!"
Isla de Muerta lay dark and menacing on the horizon. Norrington comes down the stairs and walks over to Elizabeth and Cat.
"Elizabeth-- below decks. I will not compromise your safety."
She starts to speak; he turns away.
"Lieutenant, escort Elizabeth to my quarters, and make sure she stays there."
Norrington gazes through his spyglass, at the island. Jack watches with some amusement as Elizabeth is escorted away.
"I don't like the situation, Mister Sparrow. The island is riddled with caves. I will not put my men at a disadvantage."
"Funny, I was thinking along those lines. How about you let me and Enchantress go in alone, and while you're setting up an ambush, we'll trick the pirates out to you."
I secretly smirk while still looking out at the moon.
"You would do that?"
"They left me stranded. Twice."
