Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom

“Next time, when a lady says ‘let go,’ Pintel,” Melinda said, her
pert nose in the air, “perhaps you’ll listen.”
Swishing her skirt, she stepped over to Jack and took his arm.
“Let’s go somewhere quieter, Jacky,” she suggested.
“My very thought,” he replied.
Together they traversed the corridors and warren-like
passageways of Shipwreck City, until they were once more at the level
of the cove. It was much quieter outside, and they began walking along
the docks, looking for an unoccupied, dark place to conduct their
business.
They’d walked nearly around the little island that held Shipwreck
City, all of it lined with layers of docks, passing Troubadour and
Venganza midway. Finally, just as Jack was about to suggest going
back to her room, he spied a place that would serve—a section of
dock that lay in deep shadow cast by the nearly full moon. He steered
Melinda toward it, and had just begun to strip off his coat to lay it down
on the splinter-infested wood, when he heard a gasp from his
companion that grew so shrill it was almost a scream.
Whirling around, he saw her staring, eyes wide, at the water.
“What is it?” he demanded.
Wordlessly, she pointed, her hand shaking.
Jack looked, following the angle of her finger, and saw, in the
moonlight, what was floating a few feet below them. He stared, silent
with shock, hearing the gentle lapping of the water—and also the soft,
sodden thumps the left leg made as it drifted back and forth against
the pilings.
“Tommy,” Jack whispered. “It has to be.” The clothes were right,
and the man had been bald. But he couldn’t be certain. The dead flesh
was the color of seawater, and bloated.…
Seeing also that the crabs had been at the body, Jack felt his
stomach lurch. He’d seen dozens, possibly hundreds of dead men—
and some of them he’d known. But most of them had been killed in
battle, not drowned.
Hastily, he handed Melinda the coins she hadn’t yet earned, and
ordered her to go back to Troubadour’s berth, call out to the crewman
on watch for Captain Teague, then lead the Pirate Lord back here
