Chapter 1 - one

"Yo-ho, yo-ho, a pirates life for me."

Jack hummed the tune. He woudn't - couldn't - sing it.

He had a heading, but no one to share it with.

He snorted. A derisive sound that might have passed for laughter, had there been anyone to hear it.

"I'm captain Jack Sparrow, mate." He squinted into the setting sun, then dropped his eyes to the map.

"Fountain of youth, eh?"

Water, water all around, yet not a drop to drink. He had his rum. It was all he needed.

Well, that and a ship.

And Gibbs. Musn't forget about Gibbs.

"Bugger."
