No.
No.
No.
Was that all that Darcy could ever say to him? It was always no, Owen.
“Right.” Owen said coldly. “Thank you for reminding me the importance of a mere pilot.” There was blame in his voice. Anger. He could speak this way to Darcy because he was speaking now to a man he saw as his father not his superior.
“I guess I’ll just sit on my hands like you do then. Good plan.”
His eyes stung. His stomach flipped over. The feeling of helplessness was torture.
“Dad, I -” he faltered, “he’s my friend.” He didn’t want to do this. He didn’t want to plead his case. So he wouldn’t. He pushed it all away and steeled himself again. He was good at that. “Thank you for informing me.”
He hung up the receiver with a heavy clack. Unthinkingly he picked it up and slammed it down again harder. He did it again and again. Slamming the phone back into the receiver. He wasn’t sure when he’d stood up. He picked up the entire body of the phone and tore it out of the socket and threw it against the wall. He could feel himself yelling fuck and clutching his head but he wasn’t really inside his body. He felt sort of outside of it. Detached.
He couldn’t lose someone again. Not Sanders. Not like this.
He was silent, stewing, when he marched from his office. Unseeing he went straight to the yard and picked a bush, fell to his knees and puked on it.
That felt better.
It felt good to break something and empty himself.
