Victoria didn't blink or raise an eyebrow. She was used to random outbursts of anger like this. She merely tutted and headed to the little door at the back to see if anyone was there...finding nobody she began to shake her head. "Oh dear...I take it this isn't good?"

"This is all...my fault..." he said breathlessly before leaning on the wall nearby and slithering down until he was sitting on the floor.

Victoria padded over next to him and crouched down, taking a hold of one of his hands and squeezing it gently..."It's not...it's more mine if anything. But you couldn't prevent this...even if you had been here...how could it be your fault?"

With a long and heavy sigh, he murmured, "I was the one who told her..."

Blinking, she leaned her head to his and gently probed on...."Told who?"

He was a little reluctant to go on, "I don't know her name...she just...she went by the name 'The Ruthless Ruby'...and I know it from somewhere but..." he sighed once more.

Victoria squeezed his hand tightly again..."Captain Sparrow....what happened?"

~~*Flashback*~~
Jack took a swig from his rum, before glancing around the inn to find the owner of an assertive but pleasing voice, her laugh was particularly captivating.
Evelyn was sat around a large table with the members of her crew, they were honouring their most recent pillage.
Soon enough the two encountered one another as Jack presented himself to the young beauty. "Cap'n Jack Sparrow, love, and who may you be?" she had flashed a compelling smile before answering enigmatically, "I'm the Ruthless Ruby..."
...
The two Captains explored a different sea...a sea of pure lust. Evelyn thrust herself up upon Jack's naked body. He eagerly kissed her collarbone, clutching onto her waist.
Jack groaned huskily. There was a rampage of desire before both of them were breathless. They took a few moments to slow down before Jack gently tasted her lips again, and Evelyn placed a hand on his warm face, returning it. "You are...quite a treasure...aren't you?" Jack said with a smile.
A little while later, they spoke of the treasures that they had seized. Evelyn lit a cigarette and Jack shifted his head onto her chest, "I've seen quite...." he blinked for a moment, "Quite a bit...of trrrreasure, in my t-time.." he slurred. Evelyn chuckled a little, "Are you drunk, Sparrow?" she asked
"Pfff...no. I'm...perrrhaps, a liiittle bit TIPsy..." he said, whilst caressing her leg.
Evelyn nodded mockingly, "Ah...just a wee bit." she tapped the cigarette onto an ashtray, so that the ashes fell upon it. "So what's this treasure then? Where'd y'find it?"
"Mmmm..." he pointed a finger, "Isle de Muerta...an uncharted-ed...island, shafe for ttthose who..." he blinked, "Umm...oh...I forget. My friend Will and I, you see...he's a loverly young boy...unic..."
He shook head, "His faaather was the...oh! And Barrrrrbossa, now HE was a naaarsty old b*gger...and oooonly he and...and I knew the island, as it were...well, Will didn't, b-but he went there sooo...yes it's aaaall, hmm...it'sh really a fashcinating little adventure we had, oh yesss, and then, then they hanged me...well...trrried..."
Evelyn laughed at him, and then there was a glint in her sea green eyes, "I see...do tell me more Jack, it's eeever so fascinating..."
Jack was more than willing to prattle on, "Well, beccccause Turner...his faaather... umm, Turner, and sooo, HE had THE blood...it's verrry...well ANYway...yes! And deeeear old, well young...Will Turner was taken!! To Isle de Muuerta, and you see, there’s mountains of gold coins and aaall jewels you can think of! And of cooourse the chest of" he then imitated the deceased Barbossa "Azzzztec Gooooold!"

Victoria listened intently, not knowing who Will Turner was, who this Ruthless Ruby character was...even exactly who Jack Sparrow was! She looked down at the ground, working it out in her head...then spoke her thoughts..."Do you think this Ruby woman took your friend?"

"I think so..." he leapt up to his feet, "Come on, we can catch up with them!" He began pacing in circles, "If we set off now, it couldn't have been long, the Pearl is ready anyway!"

"The pearl?" Victoria asked alarmed..."A ship...oh no no no...I'm not going on another ship when I have no idea as to what might happen....you might...you might...well let's just say ships and I disagree with one another." She stopped, sighing. Her emotions were torn. She didn't want to go back to sea...yet she was rather enthralled with the idea of an adventure...
"Promise me one thing Captain Sparrow..." she said with some cunning, "after this....you will take me to Naples?"

Jack blinked, raised an eyebrow, then coughed and simulated a sincere face, "Umm, yes, of course, Naples is...we'll be passing by it at any rate!"

"I'm a girl but I'm not stupid Captain", she grinned, "Naples is in Italy....just make sure you see to your word." She cocked her head coquettishly, rather caught up in the excitement..."Shall we go and save your friend then?"

Hook paced back and forth in his gaudy, glorious cabin. Blood spattered the wall and some lowly crew member was desperately scrubbing it off. The one who was meant to guard her lay dead on the Turkish rug in a pool of his own blood. He was furious. Not only was his plaything gone, but now he'd lost his control over the powers of Europe...there would be no ransom anymore. Unless he found her..
He looked out the window...he went over what the idiot crew member had said, and what he himself had seen. Another man, a strange looking man with wild hair....he had been with her last....it was likely that he had taken her...was she at Port Royal? Or on board some other vessel...he watched the Port. As he did, he noticed that a ship was beginning to pull away...and rapidly...
"There is very little wind..." he thought, "stupid to set sail now...unless..." it struck him. That was the ship she was on! Why else would they leave now at a silly time such as dusk, with hardly anything to blow their sails. That was the ship he would go after....
