Summary
Jack barked out, "Ellis, sitrep."
Parker pulled up short, her head whipping his way, surprise in her face. As soon as she caught sight of him, that surprise turned to mockery. "Major Jackass, reporting for duty," she drawled as she joined Jack in the little well of space off BH 2.
"That's 'Major Jackass, sir,'" he drawled right back.

Summary
Distantly, he’s grateful that it's Robby who's stumbled upon him, and not some poor, hapless new kid. Robby always finds him, whether it be on the roof or, apparently, on the floor of a bathroom. He's got a nose for trouble. Blindfold him, and tie his hands behind his back, and he'll seek out those who need him. And, he'll know exactly what to do.
“Hey,” Robby says, tone soft, “What’re you doing down there, brother?”
***

Summary
“I didn’t say I minded, uh, sharing a bed with you.” Robby scratches at his beard and tries not to look at Jack. It’s hard because Jack isn’t even looking at the road; he’s smiling sideways at him.
“Don’t worry. I don’t kick.”
“I think the phrase is ‘I don’t bite’.”
Jack’s grin widens.
“That’s the problem. I do bite.”
Robby fears his recovery is going to feel very long.
