Jack did his best to track Gabe in the room, thinking that they should check the windows and doors again to be certain they were safe, but any actual caution had faded with exhaustion. At this point, anyone who tracked them down and kicked down the door was welcome to them. He just couldn't muster the energy to do more than tiredly wait for Reyes to join him and what he wanted most of all was the close security blanket that was his bond.
"We'll be safe," he murmured at Gabe, but also to assure himself that a lax in double and triple checking the doors would be fine. It wasn't as if either of them would be caught dead in establishments like this. They were desperate but also out of the usual league they played in.
He took the palmful of pills that Reyes had decided would dose them both and didn't even question it as he threw them back and struggled to swallow them dry. It took him several swallow tries, but he managed to get them down, sagging where he sat before giving in to lay down. He dragged his legs up and shuffled over to the warmth that was Reyes. He managed to toe up the blankets to cover them both, needing the warmth at this both.
He figured they were both likely in some form of shock.
He made a similar sound of mixed relief and pain to be laying down, to be able to give into the urge to just rest that had been doggedly plaguing them both since they had set out in the ambulance. He tucked the blanket around Gabe, making certain there were no cold drafts and carefully cuddled into Reyes' side. Normally, he would guard Gabe's more vulnerable side, but at this point, all angles of them were the most vulnerable.
"You aren't allowed to die in your sleep," he murmured, head carefully settled on the pillow. He would definitely be leaving blood stains. They both would. Beyond the wall where their bed was pressed, he could pick out the sounds of two people fornicating and sighed. "Definitely no one will look for us here." He sighed, eyes closing and so close to dropping off to sleep.
