Finally, they cut their way into the lobby.
Jack is there to greet them.
Why's he down here? Where's the others? Jack moves behind him as Fio pulls out his phone and sends off a few texts.
He looks up from his phone as movement catches his eye. Hayley leaves the room like she's got a purpose.
Haynes exits the stairwell, followed by a woman Fio's never met before. He turns to look at Jack, who's come closer now.
He distinctly mouths the words "Eleven Ninety-Nine," and Fio freezes.
Officer Down.
Fio frantically types a message onto his phone and holds it out for Jack to read.
Jack has a really good poker face for a few seconds, and then Fio reads it on his lips.
"Carson."
The wind is knocked out of him.
Sarah? Sarah's... gone? No. No, maybe he misread it. Maybe- maybe what Jack really said was--
No, he can't trick himself like that. Jack said Officer Down, and he meant Officer Down.
Fio closes his eyes. He could've been there. Could've bailed her out just like in the QZ.
All those times at the Vannah? At the shooting range? Fuck, he was just teaching her to sign this morning.
Is this what it feels like to lose a sibling?
All he can hear is her voice echoing in a matter-of-fact tone, alive and well, maybe 20 minutes ago in the warehouse,
''Any kind of close quarters is gonna result in some casualties. Just the way of things.''
