Drabble - Tea
****
Just good business.
Beckett contemplated the impending battle with calm assurance. With the Dutchman and the Armada at his command, and Sparrow securely locked away, victory was the inevitable outcome.
As if a gathering of squabbling pirates, led by that mere chit of a girl, could defeat the Flying Dutchman. And once the pirates were dealt with, Beckett envisioned no problem convincing Jack to see the profit in joining the winning side.
Finally!
His plans had come to fruition. Now, with the sweet satisfaction of victory within his grasp, he paused to savor the moment.
Smiling, Beckett sipped his tea.
