I was in surgery when the hospital was attacked. Guess I got to sleep through it. Lucky me. I'm so groggy and out of it. The pain meds they gave me kind of leave me loopy. It's weird...I was in the park, and then the hospital. Now I'm in a high school. The irony of finding refuge in a high school after I transferred to Sunnydale so I wouldn't have

What could you have done differently, Jack?

It's damn hard to fight offense when you barely have enough people working the defense.

I bet Madison is doing the same thing right now. If she came to you and told you that she caused this, that if she had done something different we wouldn't have four cops to bury and two of us injured, what would you tell her?

I don't know, evacuate the hospital sooner. It's common knowledge that vampires can just walk into public places. I knew he had vampires. I should have never put Paige in that situation, she's not traine for intellegence gathering. Maybe I shoulda moved us all in here a lot sooner. Changed patrolling locations.

*scrubs face with hands*

I reckon I would tell her she's full of shit, that it isn't her fault. That whats going on out there isn't something they woulda covered in the academy. That she's done a remarkable job all things considered. Y'all have.

And I see your point. I do. Theres just one difference. This is war, it's what I'm trained for. I should've known what to expect.

Jack, you made the calls you made and they weren't bad decisions. Hell, hindsight is always clearer.

You got us here. It could have been a lot worse than it was. I'm not discounting what happened. We all have to carry our own weight here. You don't get to own this on your own, Cowboy.

Sorry.

*looks up at him*

I used to second guess myself all the time. All it did was make me doubt my instincts. You start doubting yourself, Jackson? Then we got problems because we need your instincts.

*smiles a little. grabs her hand and kisses it*

I don't recall hearing you say you'd stay in bed a little longer.

[kim_sullivan]

Nice side step, Cowboy.

We weren't talking about me staying in bed though.

[jack_morgann]

*smiles ruefully at her*

I do believe you side stepped me first, ma'am.

*shrugs*

Those men, those 20 soldiers that died? They trusted me. They followed my order without question and now they are dead. That does make one pause for a little second guessing. If only to figure out where things went wrong so that it doesn't happen again. I'll be damn if he's gonna get the drop on us again.

*blushes a little*

Yeah, well I was still pondering your question.

*nods her head*

I can understand that a lot better than what you were saying earlier about everything being your fault.

[jack_morgann]

*looks down unable to meet her glance*

You were hurt, it could've been worse. I don't think I could take losing you.

*looks back up at her*

I wont ask you to not fight. I wouldn't do that to you, but if you would just rest up until theres actually something happening, if not in here, someplace else.
