Ace
I realized I hadn't responded to the cub, getting lost in my thoughts instead, "Every time I close my eyes I see how weak she looked and how she could barely move let alone speak."
"You've seen worse, Ace. Look, you know she's fine now so get a drink and calm your thoughts. You could always make the drive to see me or do a job," shuffling sounded on Jericho's end of the line until I could hear the sound of a microwave and then a dog barking.
I missed Slash — Jericho's German Shepherd; only a little bit.
"Can't do a job, remember?" I grumbled, balling my hands in tight fists until my nails dug into my palm.
