Devotion

This is a section of a longer unfinished work. Captain Jack Sparrow has vanished, taking with him top-secret documents stolen from the Navy. Commodore James Norrington is sent to retrieve them. He finds Jack captive in a pirates’ den, chained like a captured and abused animal. He’s been there for months, and unable to respond to anyone in any way other than rabid fury. James rescues him and takes him home. Keeps him drugged for a bit, but will not chain him up again. Groves wants to shave his lice-ridden head, but James cleans and washes his hair and the rest of him, and puts clothes on him because he doesn’t want him waking up naked and vulnerable.
