[john's breathing a little harder than normal; he's just woken from a nightmare]

Derek? You're really- Where are you?

I'm heading to the apartment.

[retargeted]

Right. I'll- [still trying to calm down]

I'll see you soon.

[He stood in front of the door for a few minutes, waiting, as if that would change anything, but now he's opening it and coming through]

John.

[retargeted]

[John was pacing, waiting for Derek to turn back up. It may not have been long since they last saw each other, but if what he'd just seen was right...well...

The moment the door starts to open, John is heading over. The stops a short distance away. Watching.]

Derek? ...are you alright?

[Derek closes the door and stands there, quiet, for a while]

Did you get the girl out?

[retargeted]

[That answered the question. His gaze drops to the floor and he only nods an answer]

[sent_back]

...good.

Dead men tell no tales;

[retargeted]

[he's quiet for a long time]

It shot you.

But the mission was a success.

Dead men tell no tales;

[retargeted]

No it wasn't. You died.

[it's in a tone crossed between anger and defeat that he carries on]

You weren't meant to. Not you as well.

Dead men tell no tales;

[sent_back]

John, people die. That's what makes this entire thing important.

[He says it, and he's angry, but not at John]

I should have seen it coming.

[retargeted]

But it was pointless in the end. We gave her back. So how does that make it right?

[The logical part of his brain would remind him that they saved a life and learnt about Weaver, Ellison, and John Henry because of it. But that part was hidden far away right then.]

Dead men tell no tales;

[sent_back]

It doesn't.

[He scowls]

I'm not happy about this either.

Dead men tell no tales;

[retargeted]

[It's another period of silence.]

...you've been gone for five days.
