Beckett had never forgotten.
He'd been young, very young when he'd met Captain Jack Sparrow, rising star of the Company. Cutler had been startled, then charmed, then full of… well, something more.

"Perhaps you remember a certain pirate named Jack Sparrow. "
"Captain!" the two snapped, instantly, and Miss Swann reiterated, with some heat: "Captain Jack Sparrow."
"Captain Jack Sparrow." Beckett savored the words, his lips curving. "Yes. I thought you might."
