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.”

Found thanks to new table of contents. Beckett is doing smugly superior so well here. And about to fall flat on his face of course. Off to see what he and Barbossa have to say to each other...

So glad you are finding the table of contents of use! It'll sure make it easier for me to find things. Beckett is such an awful little man, but my niece adores him (and really, he has quite a large following considering he's an unredeemed villain in the sequels), and I have to admit he's fun to write, sometimes. So glad you liked this one! Thank you for letting me know.
