Chapter 5.

SUMEDH WAS ROAMING around the pub. "Hey young man!" Said a young lady grabbing him by his collar. "Wanna have some fun?" She asked seductively.

Sumedh freed himself after some moments of struggle. He didn't want to be in there anymore, it was really pathetic. He decided to go back to Prajakta when-

"You filthy pirate! Pay the money for the rum that you drank and just get going!" A man shouted at the top of his voice.

The guitar has stopped playing and everyone was watching the scene curiously.

Sumedh turned and saw a funny man holding a bottle of rum and struggling to stay still.

Sumedh couldn't see his face as he was facing his back. The man had long brown hair and a big triangular shaped hat.

"Hey! Mind your own business you rag! Don't you dare to speak like that to me again! You should be proud that the Black Pearl's Captain is at your pub!" His drunk voice said as he did some gestured with his hands.

At that point Sumedh's eyes were filled with happiness and excitement. His one and only dream was becoming true. An ear to ear smile appeared on his lips as he made his way to the man.

When he was close enough to the man he placed a shaking hand on his shoulder. The man turned and Sumedh's happiness touched the nineth cloud.

Captain Jack Sparrow stood infront of him.

"Oh. My. Goooooddddd!!!!!!!!" He yelled without being able to control his emotions. He could read the confused expression on the Pirate's face.

"Who are you? Have I threatened you before?" He asked with a curious expression. Sumedh laughed on the dialoge.

"No Captain... I am a big fan of yours!" Sumedh said shaking his hand.

"What do you mean? I think a mad person has stepped into your cheap pub, Fleance!" Jack said turning to Fleance who was red in face because of anger.

"How dare you to call my pub cheap Sparrow?!!!" He yelled.

"Like this: cheap pub" Jack laughed on his own joke.

"Do you think it's funny?! Now it's everyday that you come in my pub and drink without giving my money. Let's finish it today ok? You pay my money or I'll tell the East-India Company that yoh are here and I will never let you in here!!!" Fleance yelled.

"Who wants to come in your dirty pub Fleance? You'll regret this day and you will always remember this as the day you almost caught Captain. Jack. Sparrow!!!!" And with that the pirate ran out of the pub with some rum bottles in his hands and turning some tables upside down.

Sumedh ran behind him. "Prajakta!!!!!! Captain mil gaya! Chal jaldi!!! (I found the Captain! Let's go!!!)" He shouted at her. Prajakta got up and started running behind him.

Jack ran out of the pub and so did Sumedh. After a long run all of the three stopped. They were all breathing heavily.

"Why are you following me?" Asked Jack when he gained his breath.

"We need your help Jack!" Prajakta said.

"First of all, it's 'Captain' Jack Sparrow... and why should I help you? It would just be a waste of time!" Jack said taking a sip from the bottle.

"Oh please, you are our only hope! We heard a lot about you. Our two friends separated from us and we can't find them" explained Sumedh with pleading eyes. Jack rolled his eyes.

"Look kids, I have other things to do... and more important than finding your friends" he said.

"We will do anything you want but please help us!" Prajakta said. Jack thought for a moment.

"Anything?" He asked. Prajakta and Sumedh nodded.

"Okay then. Deal." Jack said shaking hands with both of them.

Rohit's POV
Someone was shaking me very forcefully. I slowly openec my eyes and saw the light-blue sky.

"Wake up!! The Captain might be coming at any time now!" A man shouted as I sat on the wooden floor. I looked around with a confused expression. I was sitting in a ship. A big old ship.

I tried to remember what happened to me. I was sitting on the sofa in Sumedh's house and we were fighting for the remote.

What happened next? Everything was blank in my memory after the small fight that we had.

And why on earth am I sitting in a ship?! I looked around hoping to find the others, but no one was there.

I got up even if my head was spinning and walked around the ship. I was on the deck I guess.

"Yaar! Kaha aa gya me?! Mera sir bohot dard kar raha he! (Man! Where am I?! My head is hurting like hell!)" I said to myself.

"Which language are you talking boy? You are meant to be whiping the floor!" The same man shouted so loudly that I jumped.

"Why should I whipe the floor?" I asked with a puzzled expression.
The grabbed me by my collar and lifted me by a few feets because he was much taller and stronger than me.

"Do. Not. Question!!!" He shouted and threw me like a bowling ball on the floor. I yelled in pain but managed to get up and started cleaning the floor with a dirty piece of cloth.

At the time I was so confused. There were other people on the ship, all busy in something. Many were bent on the floor and were cleaning like me. I looked at the man that was near me. He seemed friendly so I decided to ask him where we were.

"Can you tell me where are we?" I asked. The man looked at me. For a moment I thought that I shouldn't have asked that but he smiled showing some golden teeth.

"You seem to be new..." he said in a grave voice. "We are on the Flying Dutchman" he added.
