Chapter 6
Captain Jack And The Treasure Of Captain Crookedfinger
Back With Bill
Meanwhile, Bill and his "crew", had seen the whole thing. Bill had been hiding behind a bush as Jack came running up to the rock wall. He had witnessed the finding of they key, and was rethinking his plan. His first plan was to beat Jack to the treasure, (but that plan had failed), and he was going to get as much of the treasure as he could, then steal the longboats and the Black Pearl. The plan he now had was to wait until all of Jack's crew were inside the cave, follow behind at a safe distance fight for the treasure, and then take the longboats and the Pearl. The rest thought it was an even better plan than the first.
So they waited and fortunately for them, Jack had left the door open so he would know how to get out of the cave. Bill stayed close enough to see the glow of the torch but far back enough so as not to be seen. They could hear Jack and the crew talking, and were thinking of how they were going to attack.One member of Bill's "crew" had the idea to wait until Jack was in the the treasure room, and then take the treasure. Everyone agreed.
"Men," Bill said. "Hide 'til ye see me signal, then follow close behind."
