A small but very tiny fist clutched Jay's stomach when he heard Danjou got himself captured. Oh if there was some master plan at play, a peon like Jay wasn't in on it. The man that shared the news, a Legionnare named Sanjay was tight lipped as he scanned the watery horizon. The nearest officer had nothing to add, but Jay glanced his way anyway. The boat heaved away from Freetown, leaving behind their leader, Natalie, the kitten, and a bunch of dead people. It didn't exactly feel like a victory. But the rock of the waves was soothing. He tried to focus on them. It didn't work.
Jay pulled his sunglasses to his eyes and waited quietly beside Sanjay, trying to ignore that voice in the back of his mind. That he should have done something else. That there was something he was suppose to do. He'd forgotten something. The pull was so tempting, he almost jumped into the water and swam back to shore, full kit and all.
"Damn it." He muttered.
Sanjay looked over. "I know what you mean." He said.
"No you don't," Jay replied, wincing at the sharpness in his voice he'd not intended to unleash. Sanjay didn't respond, but as Freetown grew smaller, Jay's fists clenched until his nails dug sweet pain into his palms.

Only darkness shows you the light.
