Lord Cutler Beckett wouldn't mind some Gillette, but if wishes were horses… Other characters appearing: Mr. Mercer, Gibbs, Pintel, Ragetti, OCs (Jeremiah Peters) Warnings: some violence, angst, h/c and sap.

When Captain Norrington and his second in command, Lt. Gillette, fall into the hands of pirates, Mr. Turner decides that it's high time for Captain Jack Sparrow to do something useful for a change and drags the unwilling pirate into an adventure that might end in disaster for everybody.
