Prologue

Jack Sparrow leaned back in his chair, listening to the usual clashing and bloody screaming of Tortuga, but mainly trying to listen to the interviews for his future crew. As the noise grew, Jack watched the almost-dead men leave his sight. Three rather interesting pirates came up to the table.

"Why have ye three come here? Ye are neither wounded, nor dying." Gibbs commented.

"We have come here in seek of a captain," the third one said.

"You may know of him," the second voiced.

"Captain Jack Sparrow" the first explained. "We have come to join him and the Black Pearl on his quest to find the chest of Davey Jones."

Jack looked up. He looked at the three. "How do you know about that?" Jack said.

"We've heard from a reliable source that we will not speak of. Savvy?" The first one answered.

"Get them on the ship." Jack said to Gibbs.

Gibbs looked at Jack as if he were mad. Jack gave Gibbs his are-you-questioning-my-authority look. Gibbs said to the three, "Sign the roster." They hesitated. They all looked up in unison. Gibbs' eyes grew wide. A slightly evil grin spread across Jack's face. The three were girls.
