[He's waited. All day he's waited, and looked all day, looked everywhere, anywhere Jack might be, and now there's nothing else for it.]

Jack Kelly. If you know him-- He's gone. Missing, or dead, it doesn't matter which. [Only it does matter. He swallows. His voice is hard; he forces it to be hard.]I'm not putting in with the police, all right, I' ( Read more... )

You need some help looking?

There's no point in looking for what isn't there, right?

If he's not there then why did you JUST say you're going to find him?

Sirius. If you're not going to go to the police you NEED to get someone to help look. Two pairs of eyes are better than one.

That's what the police would say, is what I mean. He's gone home, or he's dead--it doesn't matter. Not to them. And it sure as hell doesn't matter to anyone else--so if it's all right with you, I'll keep looking.

Excuse me? Boy, when the hell did you get the idea that nobody else would think it matters? [No, her understanding (or misunderstanding) didn't strike a nerve at all.] Because it sounds like you're saying nobody else cares. And that shit is NOT all right with me. Don't you DARE imply that I--or ANYBODY else--don't care about Jack. Don't you dare!

Not the way I do!

[He snarls his response--and that's too much, he ought not to have said that--weak, and stupid, stupid more than anything--]

You can care all you want, all right, that's why I said all of this in the first place, that's why I came on this stupid bloody network and told you--care all you like, go out and look for him, but keep the hell away from me with it!

[Ro's quiet briefly, staring at her NV. Not out of of fear, but pure dumbfoundedness. Because that is one of the stupidest things she's ever heard.

But when she talks, she's a lot more gentle and patient than how she just did. Exasperatively so, but holding back the frustration leftover from her own outburst.]

CALM down, Sirus. Is that what's going on inside that head of yours, honey? You gotta grow up and think straight. I know you're upset, I KNOW you're worried. But doing this by yourself isn't going to give you different results if you're just going to do the same thing.

[ooc: Meant to add this--please lemme know if I'm assuming too much here! I figure Ro would put two and two together about Sirius already looking before + all that other stuff, but if I'm having her "assume" too much I can definately change it.]

Don't! Don't talk to me that way, all right, don't be patronizing-- I'm not being a child about this, I know what the hell I'm doing.

Do whatever you like. You can call it helping me if you like, I don't care.

[ooc: YOU ARE TOTALLY FINE, don't even worry about it. <3 and I apologize for the erratic angry tags. :/]

[ooc: Cool cool! And oh psh, don't even worry about that. It's srs bsns time, it doesn't bother me.]

And last time I checked? An adult doesn't push people away when the stakes are higher than their own stubbornness.

[There's an exasperated sigh on the other end, followed by some rustling. She's getting ready to go out and try this herself.]

It's not stubbornness--if you could help, that would be one thing. If any of you could help--but you can't, all right, there's nothing to be done. If anyone's going to find him, it's me.

[Hold on. More rustling, some zipping, the cock of a gun.]

It IS stubborness, Sirus. It's also stupid. I'm not saying going out there and looking for him is stupid, but doing what you're doing RIGHT now is.

[Hang on-- He tries to listen harder, trying to work out what those noises are.]

What are you doing?

Calling it helping.

No. I'm already looking.

Well, damn. Guess it's a good thing you said you didn't care then, right?

[He makes an irritated noise, nearly a growl--and for a second, contemplates chucking his NV away. That will get the point across quite nicely. But if it breaks, he won't have any contact with Jack at all--]

Do whatever the hell you want. Just don't expect any fucking help from me.
