"I wouldn't know much about that," he reasoned as he drove them. He had been very open with his sexuality when it came to Gabriel, aware it could create issues. He was certain that he had a few female followings, but he had always politely declined. They had certainly never had an opportunity to consider his scars as something that made him look tough and 'wild'. To be fair, most of his scars were on his body, but if the mess his face was happened to be any indication, that was definitely changing.
He continually glanced into the rearview mirror to check on Reyes as he took them deeper into the darker areas of town. The bond between them had grown subtle with their exhaustion and it was by no means difficult to find, but he was concerned at how it seemed Gabe was struggling. Being concerned about Reyes meant he was far more awake and less in danger of running them right off of the road. So there were benefits.
Jack took them to the to the industrial area where plenty of sleazy activities would be performed. There was less security down there and also less police presence for the most part. No one would see an ambulance as anything entirely odd either, given how some violence seemed to be present at all times of night in certain areas.
He found one of the ditches and eased the ambulance into park, twisting around to ease his way into the back with it idling. He reached out to assure himself of Gabe, touching having always been big when there was a real danger between the two of them. "Set the explosion up, Gabe. I'll haul out supplies out and clear."
He reached out to grab the two packs in question, one with mysterious supplies and the other full of medical supplies. He grunted and groaned as he loaded both, one on each other before he grabbed his rifle and slung that over his less injured shoulder. He leaned down before Gabe could start and pressed a kiss to the older man's forehead, yet another assurance before he was grunting and shuffling his way out the back of the ambulance.
Jack nearly collapsed under the weight and the fatigue, but he righted himself long enough to slip into the shadow of a building. It seemed that sitting down and then having to be in motion again had done him no favours.
