A/N: Hey! Whattaya know? Another two-fer out of this week's prompt!
The unexpected voice from the dark made him start, whirl.
“Why’d you do it, Jack?”
Too many acts to which that question could pertain! “Do what?” he lilted guiltily.
“Stay? Why didn’t you keep to the Code… run when you had the chance?”
Jack shrugged insouciantly. “Perhaps t’was faith.”
A sceptically curled lip. “Faith?”
“That you’d seize the opportune moment to destroy Beckett…”
The Ferryman smiled, newborn shadows retreating from warm brown eyes. Fingers traced the jagged new scar; eyes met, locked; then: “Why?”
A pause… a sigh. “For you. For her. But mostly…” A flash of gold. “For m’self."
