Afterwards (Open)
Mordecai would shrug a bit “I don’t really remember coming out of the drugs the first time…” he replies looking away for a moment. “But now I’m just waiting on Marshall and word back from the other knuckle head..” He’s referencing his co-pilot assuming that he’s still alive until he hears Raleigh finished that sentence.
“Alone..?” He asks brows furrowing “What’s that supposed to mean?” Even though he knows what Raleigh means he can’t seem to fathom it. Mordecai’s mind starts to turn through things, the feeling of radio static in the back of his mind and those indescrible feelings of utter terror, Mordecai would look up like he had suddenly be betrayed. “They didn’t feel the need to tell me that sooner?”
Raleigh’s face is growing stormy,” ...I guess they decided I Was gonna be the one to bring you the news.” This is not what he agreed to. He thought Mordecai knew! The ex ranger rubs his face, exhaling explosively,” ...I am so fucking sorry.” He grabs a piece of the hospital stationary. Jots down the numbers and slips them into Mordecai’s hand,” ...I’m going to go have a talk with someone look. That’s my private number. You can call me anytime.”
He has to get out of this room.
Raliegh was just tricked into being the one to tell a pilot their other half was dead. Gone. Not coming back! He was feeling a little betrayed by the marshal and the medical staff. He was also furious on Mordecai’s behalf.
