Drabble: 'Fool of a Captain' (Jones, Beckett)

[dwgm]

A last drabble for the 'Fool' prompt, exactly 100 words of Davy Jones and Beckett, post-DMC. Thanks, again, to hereswith for looking it over for me!



~ Fool of a Captain ~


“Jack Sparrow is dead!” Jones asserted, with relish.

“Is he?” Beckett raised an eyebrow. “You know, he’s damnably hard to kill. Do you have some evidence? His head, perhaps? Or some other bit I’d recognize?”

Jones seethed, though that would avail him nothing, thanks to Norrington. “The Black Pearl’s gone to the depths, and its fool of a captain with it!”

“Hmmm. And yet… the ship’s been raised before. By you.”

“For a price! We had a bargain. But no one escapes the Locker!”

Beckett laughed. “No one? And a bargain?” He shook his head. “Fool of a captain, indeed.”

haha! I like these two together and the legend of Jack Sparrow grows! *g* Oh yes, many fools in the room. You sure you wanna lay this drabble prompt to rest? You're on quite a roll and I am so enjoying!

Beckett's so cold, and Jones, for all his heartlessness is awfully emotional -- no wonder he had to cut out his heart. And yet that doesn't explain why Will has to lose his. But we digress.

Thank you so much for the feedback -- I'm so glad you enjoyed this and the rest of my drabbles this week! Maybe next week's prompt will prove just as inspiring. *hopes*
