Drabble 36 – Persistence (courtesy of SithKnight-Galen…I know this isn't exactly what you meant, but I hope you like it anyway.)

Lisa couldn't help but admire Jack Baker…well, certain things about him at least, like his piloting abilities, his loyalty and his brashness.

As she waited for Rick's shuttle to land, she spotted Baker following Karen, until she whirled around to face him, pointed her finger at him and said something. Lisa couldn't hear what it was, but Baker stayed eerily still as Karen left. He seemed lost until he suddenly ran after Karen, calling her name and telling her to wait.

It was then that Lisa realized that the thing about Jack Baker she admired the most was his persistence.
