Author's Notes: Geez, it's been a while. Apparently, this challenge was too much for the muse to pass up. Go figure. In any case, this...is kind of AU.

“Did he…”
A nod.
“Mike, I’m sorry. I should never have asked.”
“You couldn’t have known.” Gets to his feet. “Let’s just take this guy down, okay?”
