Wilson had been leading Jack through the dense brush of the jungle for at least an hour, if not more. There hadn't been much in the way of conversation; on a few occasions Wilson had stopped to ask Jack a few questions about the other residents of the bunker, but the only response Jack had given had been to poke Wilson in the arse with his sword. It wasn't that Jack was protecting anybody - he didn't know anything, really. He was too busy watching for pursuers to give any attention to Wilson's questions. A few times since they'd left the jail Jack was certain he'd heard someone following, yet every time he'd looked there was nobody to be seen. That only meant that whomever it was that was following was biding their time, waiting for the right moment to make their move.

"Captain Sparrow?" Wilson called back. Jack's attention had been behind them, and he hadn't noticed the doctor had stopped yet again.

"How many times do I have to poke yer behind before ye get the hint? No stoppin mate, not til we're where we're goin."

"But we are here. This is our destination."

Jack looked around, confused. "In the middle of the bloody jungle? Mate, yer more daft than I think people think I am, and I think people think I think I'm more daft than they think I am." Jack paused a moment while he considered what he'd just said, as if he'd confused himself.

Wilson looked smug. "Trust me. We have reached our goal."

Wilson scanned the surrounding trees, and appeared to choose one at random. Walking towards it, he began to pull on the bark until a portion of it swung open as if on hinges. As Jack looked on incredulously, Wilson punched a few buttons, and then closed the hidden compartment back up. Running back to the pirate's side, Wilson looked at Jack with a grin.

"Hang on, Captain Sparrow."

A series of rings jumped up out of the ground and settled around the two men. In a flash, they were gone. The rings disappeared back where they'd come from, leaving no hint that anyone had been there previously.
