Summary
After confirming his orders and that he would report within three days, Jake numbly hung up the phone. He started going through the familiar motions of a new deployment. He went online and bought himself a one way ticket to California for that night and began throwing his things in his duffle. It wasn’t until he made it to the airport and onto his flight that his mind began to race. His mind went to a place he rarely let himself go, a time before everything came crashing down around him. A time where they were happy and in love. A time where he could see his future so clearly. But inevitably, as it always did, these thoughts became clouded by the pain of that last night. And for the first time in two years, Jake knew without a shadow of a doubt that he was going to see him again. So he steeled himself during his flight. Began to restore his mask, piece by piece, until Jake felt like his heart was carefully hidden away. Because Jake Seresin may have loved Bradley Bradshaw, but Hangman had never loved anyone.
