Author's Note: Written for the "Revenge" challenge at Black Pearl Sails

Main Character: Bootstrap

Bill Turner folded a tattered piece of cloth over the coin in his palm. He could still see Jack standing on the island, shaking his fist at the Pearl as the distance stretched between them. Good friend, Jack. Hadn’t deserved what they’d done to him. Resisting the cursed gold’s call, he dropped the cloth-wrapped piece into a wooden box meant for his son. He meant to do right by Jack, even if the crazy pirate wasn’t around to hear tell of it. Never mind that he’d be caught in it too. It wasn’t vengeance, he told himself. It was justice.
