He can face Grant’s journal.

He can even face me.

But he doesn't know how to face the men he thinks he abandoned.

Blaze takes another step.

“Are you going to say anything?”

Doc finally speaks.

“I don't know what you want me to say.”

Trigger answers from behind them.

“How about sorry?”

Wolf gives him a look.

“What?”

“He disappeared.”

“Not helping.”

“I wasn't trying to.”

Ace's jaw tightens.

“We looked for you.”

“I know.”

“We called.”

“I know.”

“We wrote.”

“I know.”

“Then why the hell didn't you answer?”

Doc looks away.

“Because Grant was dead.”

The room goes silent.

Ace's anger falters.

Doc continues.

“I was his medic.”

Blaze closes his eyes.
