"Captain, can I talk to you?" Samantha asked. She lead the captain over to a corner. "When we reach the island, which is about a week away, John and the people that came with him will get off first. As soon as they get off, we're going to leave them on the island. It was Jack's idea." Samantha whispered.

Smollett frowned, but nodded. It had also been his idea. Of course he had only told Indy and he was certain she hadn't even had the chance to tell Jack. It unnerved him to be contanstly on the same wave-length as the pirate Jack Sparrow. "Very well. Now, have you seen Captain sparrow, Sam?"

"She's down in the brigg with Jack." Samantha said. She looked away from Smollet and coughed into her hand.

"With Jack?" Smollett frowned again. "I believe I told you both you were not premitted to see him." The frog said sternly, then sighed, "Nevermind." HE himself wondered why he had let it go, but moved past Samantha and headed towards the brig's stairs.
Jack looked up seeing the captian arrive and Indy looked as well, now drying tears from her face. She moved away from JAck's grasp, standing up. "Captain Smollett."
The concerned look on his face was noticable and Jack suspected neither Sparrow would get a beratting from him.
The frog cleared his throat, looking to JAck now. "Samantha told me of your plan. I agree with it. But how do I know you're not with Silver?"
Jack stood up, straightening his shirt. "Whatever caused Indy to be this upset was Silver's doing. I know he killed Mr. whitmire, although I didn't see him do it. But I've known Silver longer then any of this crew and he's the kind to kill an innocent man for getting in the way of what he wants."
"Of course, he's a pirate, Mr. Sparrow."
JAck fought down the urge to correct Smollett with 'Captian' and continued, "Well, not all pirate are as ruthless as he. I know I didn't favor Mr. Whitmire very much, but that was all in concern for Indy. Navy men and pirates... Well... Anyways, Captain, true to me stars, I'll not be a part of Silver's mutanty. I know how it feels and I want nothing to do with Silver besides."
Smollett considered JAck's words for a moment, then nodded. "Very well. But I'll need you to act otherwise. I need you to become Mr. Silver's confidante and inform me of any further plans. I will make sure you and your sister receive full pardons from the govener if you cooperate. Is that clear?"
"Oh, aye. Sir." Jack said and nodded.
"Good." The frog turned to Indy, "Captain Sparrow, are you alright?"
"Yes, fine, captain." Indy nodded, giving him a very forced and brief smile.

Samantha twiddled her thumbs as she sat against the wall and looked out to the ocean. She sighed softly and ran her hands through her hair.

Indy left the brig quickly, the stride in her step slowing only when he passed Samantha. She gave a sad glance to her, unsure if the girl had seen her or not, and hoping she hadn't, before walking into her cabin, inhaling deeply.

Samantha had seen her. She had opened her mouth to say something, but she wasn't sure what to say. So, she followed Indy to her cabin. She knocked on the door and waited to be allowed to enter.

Indy turned away from her mirror and laid the hankercheif on the dresser before opening the door. She forced a smile at Samantha. "Good morning Samantha. I'm sorry you had to see me that way eariler." Indy gave a short laugh, but simultainiously sniffed. She turned away, wiping at another tear that had trickled down.

"What did John do to you?" Samantha asked as she walked a bit closer. "Don't lie to me either. I can tell when you are."

"What happened between John and I has nothing to do with you Samantha." Indy spoke coldly and as if she would change the subject at any moment. However, she said nothing else and kept her back to Sam, arranging some papers on her desk.

"Well he obviously hurt you in some way." Samantha said trying to get the information from her. She wanted to help Indy.

"Yes, and it's not the first time he has." Indy said, in the same tone... "And undoubtly not the last..." She mutter. "In any case, I can take care of myself. What you saw in the brig was a moment of weakness. I would apperciate it if you didn't mention that to any of the crew."

Samantha sighed and turned her back to Indy. "All right." she said. "But if you need to, you can talk to me." she walked back updeck and looked out to sea.

Indy glanced back to Sam and watched her leave. She exited the cabin, not knowing she was passing by John.
"I'll be seeing you tonight." He said casually. Indy turned to him, disgusted and angry. "You'll see no such thing."
John grabbed her arm as she tried to walk away from him. "Unless you want me to be seein' Cat or Saman--"
"Alright." Indy whispered harshly.
John smiled. "Alright." He let go of her and Indy immedeatly turned and went back to her room.
From unseen places Gonzo and Rizzo exchanged glances.

Samantha looked around for Jim. She could find him anywhere. After a while she remembered the crows nest and climbed to it. "Jim?" she said peeking over the side.

Jim closed his telescope and smiled at Samantha. "Afternoon, Sam. I haven't seen any land yet..."
---
Gonzo pushed Rizzo foward and he knocked on the door. "C-captain?"
"Yes?" Indy said from inside.
"Can we come in?" Gonzo asked.
"It's open."
The two creatures walked in, Rizzo now hiding behind Gonzo.
"Is there something you boys wanted?"
"Well... Um..." Gonzo started, "We noticed you've been spending alot of time locked up in your room since Mr. Whitmire died. I know that these past few days must have been hard but... You're the captain, you can't--"
"I can do what I please. Captain Smollett is the commanding officer, not I."
"Well, yes, but--"
"Is there anything else?"
"We saw John grab you. Is that why you've--"
"Did anyone else see?"
"No." Gonzo looked worried.
"Then tell no one else about it. Especially not Jack."
"Yes, ma'am--" Rizzo started, then Gonzo cut in.
"But you're the captian!" Gonzo spoke passionatly, "He can't treat you like that! We thought he was a nice guy, but we were wrong!"
"But you will still be under his order, do you hear me?"
"Capt--"
"Am I understood?"
Gonzo sighed, "Yes. But--"
"Leave my room."
"Capt--"
"Leave!" She shouted, making Gonzo and Rizzo jump. They left quickly.
"Boys! Shouldn't you be to yer chores?" John said quite casually seeing them again.
"Um, yeah. Sure." Gonzo spoke for the two of them and they left.

Sam climbed in. "That's all right." she said smiling. "I didn't expect to see any land yet." She sighed. "Have you been up here this whole time? I don't think I saw you at breakfast."

"I ate early. Before John served the others." Jim said and shrugged. "Smollett said we would arrive at the island within the week, but i thought I'd keep alook out just in case. You never know when other ships might come along..."

Samantha nodded and pulled out bread and cheese. "Well I brought you some food. I didn't know that you ate already."

"Thanks.. I'm not hungry though, but... We could save it for later, i suppose. John sure makes a good meal, though, doesn't he? Much better then table scraps for supper." Jim said, but did feel a little bad about having left Miss Blubridge with a half burnt tavern and a dead Billy Bones.
