Antonio had made it extremely clear he had friends in high places, along with so many other implications that had set Gabriel to worry about the safety of not only their own people, but Jack as well. They already knew he had suit and money power, but the threat of blow-back had made so many fears that much more real, and taking him in would have done nothing. Egos and red-tape had been a new battle, and all the more reason he didn't play by the rules with Blackwatch.
They had already been fighting an uphill battle, so many turned against them out of some idea that they would overthrow power. Someone had to have been whispering in their ears with the sort of ties a dead man implied Talon had. Now they were just knocked to the bottom of the hill.
Gabriel snorted a bit, "Isn't the only that that should matter that I find you unbelievably attractive still?" A little tease at that, because really Jack. "No one else you have to look good for but me, and I've been enjoying it," while also worried about stress turning him gray early but beside the point at the moment. "You know I'm right there with you when it comes to pineapple on pizza, and I'll also have you know I got him to actually try it and he nearly ate half a damn pizza." Been a sight.
This was comfortable, no matter their aches and pains, and that arm was securely around Jack and just... taking all of this in. Letting himself relax there and at least for a little while hope that things would really be okay, no matter what they were going to be up against once they left this motel room. Could finish off that energy bar later.
Lips brushed carefully against Jack's hairline, "Then we're going to make it for a long damn time."
