I think we have a bomber to find.


I get why this would be a mission that would be triggering for some of us. If you want out, I understand. This is something I've got to do.

[Long, long pause. Hell of a welcome back.]

I'm in. I don't want--think it's something I've got to do myself.

Have you considered letting Ms. Jones in on this?

[rawly]

I know.

[Locked]

I thought about it. After the way she looked, I don't know what would be best for her. I think putting the offer out there might be good.

Sure as hell would have liked that offer back when you know.

I like her. She's a good woman, but hell if I know what's best for her, either. Might want to wait until we have some solid answers to extend the offer.

Fuck if I wouldn't have wanted it myself.

You okay? I know you were there.

Yeah, from what I've seen in the time we've been here, she's good. Real good. But I'd rather wait than give her false hope that we can find this guy. On the other hand, this time it's one guy. One wanderer. Kinda insane so not gonna be covering up his tracks.

Think we all would have. But back then no one knew a damn thing, no one had resources that'd help. It's different this time.

I'm fine. I figured something would happen. I just also figured I would have actually been able to fucking do something. I get real tired of just watching while shit burns to the ground with good people in it.

I've no doubt he's slipping all over the place. I'll hack into what feeds I can from the party room, see if that gives us anything. It was connected to the conference room, so it's a good bet.

So you find him, and then what?

Guy was nuts, Sonny. Magical fucking bombs. I know it's no comfort, but there's nothing anyone coulda done, and you're taking matters into your own hands now. It won't change the fact, but it's something.

Yeah, it should give you something to go off of. If we can get a recording of that shit, we might be able to pick out where he was when he was going off on his rant.

Then I kill him. I don't know. Guy's off his head like you said. If I was that fucking crazy, I'd want someone to do me that favor. I'm not going in on this alone so I don't do more than kill him. Cause the desire's sure as fuck gonna be there.

I know. I just wish for once there'd be something somebody could have done and then I'd do that thing.

I know. It's something. Delayed, preventative measures for one more disaster.

Yeah, definitely. I'll get right on that, might have something by the time we do the briefing.

[asdflkajsdf fwaugh] Okay. I'll be going in on it with you and we can both keep each other even-keeled. Don't worry about Gates, I'll make sure he doesn't drink himself into oblivion tonight.

Think that's what hits the gut the worst. The should've been.

I'm tired It's good. I'm glad you're doing this. We're doing this.

Sounds good. It'd be nice if we could go into this thing running for once.

[;; sorry] Yeah, it sounds like a plan. Okay. I already agreed to share the whiskey with him so I'll be keeping an eye out too.

Yeah, it is. It always will be.

John.

I am too.
