JACK
Jack was a spoilsport, but hey - Zeph got some flowers and the pleasure of his company for a bit! That should be good enough for him, right? Right. ”If he does dig too deep then maybe we made a mistake in electin’ him for Governor, and maybe a real Torcher should step in,” he said, offhand. ”Maybe I’ll toss your name in the hat, eh?” Already off the porch and heading away now, Jack strolled backwards, grinning at the other man.
”If anyone ever tells you that, it’s a filthy lie,” he said, despite his presence checking up on Zeph suggesting the contrary. As for bailing on him? The captain’s smile was shit-eating to say the least. ”Would I do that to you?” he asked, spinning on heel to finally walk away.
The answer was yes. Yes of course he would.
