Unfettered snooping was her idea of fun. She even snagged a souvenir. It was just a tee-shirt. Nothing that would be missed but it smelled like him; clean sweat,

Jack was spending his copious amounts of free time in the brig reenacting the scene from The Great Escape involving Steve McQueen and a baseball. He'd convinced one of the guards that he wasn't going to somehow use it to escape or kill them. It was something to pass the time at least.

Betsy's telepathic call made him jump about a foot and a half in the air, not that he would ever admit to it. I'm here. The thought was tight and hesitant as it was sent.

He sent a thought to Betsy of himself tossing a baseball at the wall and catching it over and over again. Curiously, even in his mind, there was a lack of peripheral vision coming from the left side of the pictured thought.
