3rd Person's POV

Catalina paces the deck anxiously as she looks at the rocks by the prison. Coffins lay on the rocks and far away screams echo from the building. A tear slides down her face as she thinks the worst.

It had been two weeks since Jack went inside the prison. Everyone had warned him not to go inside but no; there was something in there that was so important that he needed to.

"Fifteen men on a dead man's chest, yo-ho and a bottle of rum." Gibbs stumbles out the first mate cabin holding a bottle of rum.

He looks up and sees Cat pacing and frowns, "By god Cat what ye be doing up out here so late?"

Cat jumps and turns to Gibbs with a guilty smile, "I can't sleep. I'm scared. He's been in there a long time. What if-"

Gibbs shakes his head as he walks over to her. The two walk to the rail and lean against it watching the waves.

"Oh lassie he be Captain Jack Sparrow. He can get out of anything."

"Why didn't he let me go? I could've helped and he would've been back faster."

Gibbs looks over at her with a frown, "It's too dangerous he said. Cap doesn't want you hurt or worse. Don't worry he be back by sunrise."

He pats her shoulder then walks up the stairs to the wheel. As time passes by, more and more of the crew step up from below deck and get to work. Cat remains leaning against the rail, watching the strong waves hit the rocks by shore.

The prison guards come out carrying more coffins and throw them into the water. Cat watches as a black bird sits on top of one, hitting it with its beak over and over. Suddenly, a loud shot bangs from the coffin hitting the bird making it fall into the water. The crew all run to the rail and watch as a skeleton leg pops out the top of the box. A body sits up and starts to use the leg as an oar, rowing to the ship. Cat smiles as she sees witty Jack get closer and closer.

The small coffin hits the ship and Jack starts make his way up. As his hand hits the rail, Gibbs holds his hand out to help but instead gets the skeleton leg. Cat stands back behind everyone as Jack makes his way on deck. Everyone glares as he starts to make his way to the back of the crew. He sees Cat and relief washes over his face as he holds his arms out.
