Will, Jack and Elizabeth went to the harbor, where the Pearl was docked.

Gibbs saluted Jack and smiled. "I see you have our charges with you." Gibbs turned to Will and Elizabeth. "It's nice to see you again, Miss Swann; you too, Mr. Turner."

"What are we here for, Jack?" Will asked.

"I was just about to tell you when you interrupted me." Jack taps his chin and looks at the sky. Just then, the thought came to him. "Oh yes! Treasure! I have found a way to make us rich. I just need two respectable looking people to help me pull off the job. You two look more respectable than most folks I care to encounter. What do you say, are you in?"

Elizabeth replied, "I don't think we should agree to anything that we aren't sure of. What is your plan?"

"It is treasure, love. You get a stake in the treasure if you go into with me."

"We could also get the rope if we join you." Will added.

Jack smiled brightly. His golden teeth reflected light from the sun of them. His brown eyes glowed. "Thems always the chances we make, savvy?"

Elizabeth still wasn't convinced. Neither was Will. "Now there is treasure and you need us to help you get it. Where are we going to get this treasure? Where is it located? What exactly is it? Is it Gold? Jewels? Ladies garments?"

Jack gasped. He was shocked and appalled. "What makes you think I would want ladies garments for? You have me sadly mistaken for another pirate, my lad. I thought you knew ye?"

"I'm not sure if I will ever know you or want to know you, Jack." Will plainly said.

Jack calmly said, "The treasure is jewels. The place is Kingston, Jamaica. The Duchess of Fairmont enjoys a good game as any one. She is a gambler, who is giving this big shin-dig or something or other. I need you to be invited. I need you to win those jewels."

"What make you think that we can't keep all of this to ourselves? Why do we need to share the loot with you?" Elizabeth asked.

"Elizabeth is the Governor's daughter. That will surely give her access to the party."

"Yes, and Will is with me, which will give him access. Where do you fit in this plan?"

"I thought you would never ask!" Jack exclaimed.
