Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom

Esmeralda, looking for evidence that Tommy had actually seen “the
devil’s ship” anchored in Shipwreck Cove. He finished by confirming
that he’d clearly seen the brass bow chaser.
Teague again asked Lady Esmeralda whether Jack’s account
was accurate. Jack was afraid to look at her when she stood up, but as
she began to speak, he forced himself to meet her eyes across the
chamber. “Yes, Captain Teague,” she said, steadily, “Jack Sparrow
reported exactly what happened today. I looked through the spyglass
too, and I clearly saw a brass bow chaser on Koldunya’s bow.”
When she finished speaking, she gave Jack a faint smile. He
smiled back, light-headed with relief. Teague nodded curtly at Jack
when she finished. “You may step down.”
Jack went back to his seat. As he settled in beside her, he looked
at her and whispered, “I…I thought you might be…angry…”
She met his gaze. “Jack, you keep forgetting. I’m a pirate. I know
pirates. Now hush. I want to listen!”
Teague was speaking to the assembled crowd. “Is there anyone
present who saw or spoke to One Tooth Tommy after he left The
Drunken Lady on the night in question?”
There was a shuffling in the back of the chamber, and then a tall,
skinny, ferret-faced man wearing a black eye patch was standing
there. “I saw him, I did,” he said. “I knowed it was Old One Tooth
Tommy, seein’ as how we was shipmates, you know.”
Jack, who had turned around in his seat, like the rest of the
assembly, narrowed his eyes as he took in the man sitting next to the
speaker. It was that repugnant manikin…what had Melinda called him?
Pintel, that was it.
“State your name,” Teague commanded.
“Ragetti, sir,” the pirate said. “I sails with Cap’n Barbossa.”
“What did you see, Ragetti?” Teague asked.
“I seen Old One Tooth, I did. I was lookin’ for me friend, Pintel—”
he looked down at the bald pirate next to him, who gave him an excited
glance and grinned broadly. “And I seen him. Tommy was walking…
well, more like lurchin’ y’know, behind someone. They was headed
down the corridor, the one what leads out of Shipwreck City to the
docks.”
