Beyond the Fence

[what_about_meee]

After Juliet sedates Smokes' Mother before she can wake up, Ben hauls her out to a waiting Dharma jeep. He lays her across the backseat, grumbling to himself. This is not the way it should be done, but he doesn't want the whole damn barracks against him

[whirrrrrr]

SMOKES HEARS THE SOUND OF BEN'S VOICE NOT TOO FAR AWAY FROM THE PYLONS, SO HE STROLLS OUT OF THE JUNGLE TO SEE BEN STANDING THERE NEXT TO THE JEEP. HE CAN'T SEE MOM IN THE BACK OF THE JEEP, SO HE'S ALL SMILES UPON SEEING BEN.

YOU'RE LUCKY YOU CAUGHT ME ON MY WALK. DIDJA MISS ME?

I'm not here for uh...

He clears his throat. It almost hurts seeing him smile like that.

I'm here on business.

[whirrrrrr]

SMOKES SMIRKS. HE ASSUMES BEN'S JUST PLAYING ANOTHER GAME OF HARD-TO-GET, SO HE STEPS UP CLOSER TO HIM.

AND WHAT BUSINESS WOULD THAT BE?

[what_about_meee]

I'm bringing you something.

Look in the back seat.

He cringes, bracing himself for Smokes' reaction.
