Gunner nods solemnly, wishing he could do more for Destiny, but recognizing that right now, he could not. "Okay. I'm gonna stay with you for a bit so... if you need anything, just holler."
Feeling badly, but helpless, Gunner nods again and backs off, giving Destiny her space. Wandering back to the computers in the living room, he sit down and opts to browse, knowing that they would have to eventually anyway. He might as well get a jump on things and find out as much as he could. If Chance had made a mistake while hacking, there was a chance he had saved things he shouldn't have.
Chance remains unresponsive, but once they're in the truck and moving, he takes the paper towels Katie had given him and tries to stop some of the bleeding on his face, starting with his nose. The pickup hits a bump and he cringes but doesn't say a word.
How could he have gotten into this mess? How could he have slipped up this badly to be caught? Now the whole Underground was in jeopardy.
As he drives, Jason continues to feed Katie his anger to avoid any explosions.
Sorry. Rick says control my temper. Right. How would he like it if he were walking around with a hundred times the emotions?
He sighs. He knew Katie hated it when he apologized, but he'd never stop. He never liked seeing her in any kind of discomfort, whether the emotions were what she needed or not. He wished it could be less painful.
I don't even know what to say about Chance. Destiny was pretty broken up... I had suspected before that there might have been something going on between those two... I think if there wasn't, Destiny wouldn't have been quite so upset today.
