"Ah! Sparrow!" Jack's 'company' greeted.
"Enrique Carvala..." Jack growled, failing a Spanish accent.
"Oh why so glum Jack?" The man glared.
"I don't know. Maybe because the last time I saw you you tried to kill me." Jack spat and took a large sip of rum.
Enrique took a bottle from the table too and the two men sat and drank, glaring at each other the whole time.
"So I think we should catch up." Enrique suggested after his 2nd bottle of rum.
"I don't." Jack slurred after his 4th.
"Poker?" He asked.
"Only if you're not afraid to lose." Jack produced a deck of cards.
"What are we betting?" Calvara cracked his knuckles.
Jack sat back in his chair. "Anything of your choice. You won't win."
"Deal." He gave an evil smile and shuffled the cards.
Halfway through the game, Angelica came walking in.
"Please tell me you bet wisely." Angelica whined.
"Shush woman!" Jack bellowed.
Angelica mumbled under breath and made faces at him.
"Full house, you lost again Sparrow!" Enrique bragged.
"Yea yea, what do you want?" Jack lazily slurred.
"Her." Enrique looked lustfully at Angelica, who nearly spit out what she was eating.
"No no. No no no no. No way." She wagged her finger.
"Too bad. You're what I want." He came over and dipped her.
"Wait wait, you can't have her." Jack stumbled over to them.
"Yes I can. She is part of anything. I could've taken your ship, but this thing is a rusty bucket." He scringed up his nose.
"Hey!" Jack defended.
"This is not what you need to be worried about Jack!" She yelled over both of them.
"Too late." Enrique dragged her away to her ship.
Jack watched painfully as Angelica struggled in his grasp.
