Jack made a frustrated sound, but there was no more argument to give. What he thought and what was reality was obviously very different, especially if the news still playing in the background was any indication. If only he could make the public see, didn't want to let this narrative run its course. He felt helpless and trapped.
His fingers flexed on the rifle that had mostly slipped from his grip, needing something to hang onto. He felt renewed nausea as he considered the far-reaching implications. If his bond was blacklisted... what could he even do? Gabriel was his everything now more than ever, and he was totally thinking with his heart, stopping this runaway train before it left the tracks.
"But... we served. We've always served..." he murmured, eyes glancing towards the television and then back to the door. Escaping Gabe's grip was next to impossible now, so he remained in it not fighting.
Slowly his eyes shifted from the door at the insistence to look at Gabe, but his expression was deeply unhappy and worried. "I want to protect you from this possibility," he murmured softly, a touch heartbroken. "I'll always have your back. You can trust me in that."
