Angelica marched downstairs into the pub and over to the bar.
"Have you seen a man that has long hair and wears a bandana?" She asked signaling to her hair.
The man chuckled and leaned towards her flirtatiously, "Why would the likes of you be wanting to see Jack Sparrow, dearest?"
Angelica grabbed the man by his dirty collar, "That, you dirty scum, is none of your slimy business." She threw him back and he shakily explained.
"HE WHAT?!?" Angelica screamed, silencing the pub. She growled and they all went back to their drunkenness.
"I'm telling ye miss. Two men came here and told him something, looked important. He laughed at them and they didn't like that. Drug him away and he hasn't been back." The man shrugged.
"What kind of men?" She asked in a hurry.
"Definetly not our type. Looked so out of place. I'm guessing military, Britain's military by the flag on their shirts."
"Well where did they go?!" Angelica grabbed the man's shirt again.
Jackie and Seraphina came down the stairs, Seraphina gasped at Angelica but Jackie chuckled, "So your not just violent to dad."
The man Angelica was holding gasped, realizing she had a child.
"Oh don't be so surprised." She released the man. "And to give you one more thing to gasp about, dearest," She mocked, "He's Jack's."
They all walked out the door where Angelica looked around, found it clear, and began to explain. "Jackie, I need to go somewhere. I don't know how long I will be gone, but Gibbs will be on the ship with you."
"On the ship? Then where's dad?" The boy furrowed his brow.
"That's why I'm leaving." She sighed.
"What are you going to do?" He asked concerningly.
"What your father always did best. Improvise."
