Jack’s voice startles me out of my thoughts and I’m surprised to see the lights are on. When did that happen?
“Yeah, sorry.” When I swipe a hand over my face, I find I’ve been crying. That’s going to be a problem. After scrubbing my face dry with my sleeve I look up and see Jack holding out a hand to help me up; a concerned look on his face. Great, there’s going to be questions I don’t want to answer. Turning away, I reach out and let Jack pull me upright.
After taking a moment to pocket the iPod and put the gun away, I brush off my suit and say. “I was just...” Letting my voice drift off, I look up at the ceiling then swallow the pain away and look Jack in the face.
“Lots of ghosts down here, you know?” I say in a voice that’s a little shakier than I’d hoped.
