21st Hour // Voice // Backdated to Sunday night

[Jack's voice is strained, angry, hurting.]

This is Bauer. I need a healer. Now.

[And just so no one gets the wrong idea about Skrulls or anything:]

I ran into Lust, she took me down. Don't bother going after her. She's long gone.

Damn it!

[POLICE FILTER]

I need forensics in here. She was using this warehouse... [Jack breathes for a moment, heavy and ragged.] There could be evidence here.



[ooc: Jack had a skirmish with Lust that ended badly, and is now bleeding quite a bit.]

Yeah. Yeah I will.

I know she's not a Skrull. She said... she let me live so I could help hunt them down. But that was probably just her way of toying with me.

...one more thing. [This is a terrible time to have this conversation but when will Jack get to talk to Ghost again?] Any leads on Candy?

[No lie Ghost is impressed with someone who's been wounded to this extent and can still focus on things other than ow.]

No. [his poker voice fails even on the one word. So hastily he keeps going as if he could cover the falter] I have begun to hope, in light of what I could imagine as her fate, that she is at peace already.

...I'm sorry to hear that. [Mainly because she's An Important Lead but he can hear in Ghost's voice that this is not the right thing to say]

I've got to go. People are coming for me. [And Unconsciousness Land beckons. This is why you don't hold intelligence-exchanging talks minutes after getting cut up by a homunculus, Jack]
