[Hey, this is York. M'not around right now so leave a message.

If this is a client, please leave your details and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

If this is one of the others, I'll get back to you whenever.

If it's Florida, I didn't do it.
 

Aaaand if it's anyone else... Just leave a message. I'll get back to you if I recognise you. Or even if I don't, and you sound cute.]

[searchandrecovery]

Um. Okay. Cool.

[York's never this serious, not unless something really awful has happened. Wash feels a little bad for asking.]

[depthlesslock]

They were talking about Louisiana, mostly.

[searchandrecovery]

Oh.

What happened to Louisiana, anyway?

[depthlesslock]

When?

[searchandrecovery]

When she left the base. What actually went down?

[depthlesslock]

She did. Fell behind on an op and our opposition caught up to her. We didn't get her back for... a while.

[searchandrecovery]

[Why, he wants to say. Why in the world didn't you go back for her? She's a member of your team.]

Oh. That's...that's rough.

[depthlesslock]

Yeah. Could've done with you around then.

[searchandrecovery]

Yeah, well. Don't worry about it. It won't be happening again.

....And don't beat yourself up about it either, okay?

[depthlesslock]

Sure hope not.

Yeah, you're two years too late for that.

[searchandrecovery]

I'm sorry.

[depthlesslock]

The fuck for?

[searchandrecovery]

I just--

You don't deserve to be this upset, okay? And it's not gonna change anything. But the plan at the meeting--that will. And it's gonna work. We won't let it not.

[depthlesslock]

She's where she is because of us. We're in this fucking mess because we didn't go and get her.

[searchandrecovery]

I know. Which is why you're making it right.

[And which is why he won't let it happen again. To any of them.]

[depthlesslock]

This wont' make it right.

[searchandrecovery]

You're bringing her back. Eliminating those assholes who controlled her life. That's gotta count for something.

[depthlesslock]

It counts for something, but it doesn't change the fact that she wouldn't be there if we had gone back for her.

[searchandrecovery]

No, it doesn't, but it's not insignificant either. You just gotta do the next right thing.

[depthlesslock]

I guess that's for the best.

[Pause]

Thanks, Wash.

[searchandrecovery]

Anytime, York.
