A/N; sorry I'm so late in updating
The Chief could never remember what happened when they launched that raptor. He couldn't quite remember seeing racetrack go through they entered the hangerdeck as they took off. He couldn't remember Adama telling them to stand down or the vipers being launched. He couldn't remember firing up the FTL drive and Helo inputting the jump coordinates. All he remembered was a sharp pain in his head.
"You okay Chief?"
He realized he was lying on the floor, and his head felt like it was about to explode.
"I'm fine" he lied, he couldn't afford not to be fine. Helo didn't look fooled, but he didn't say anything. The Chief got up and sat on the chair.
"How much are we going to lose for this"
"Everything I can imagine" he said and for some reason he laughed. The Chief understood. They were in big trouble and this was an instance that if he didn't laugh, he would cry."
"You know it's funny..." Helo said after a long pause
"What"
"Us, you know in this raptor in this mission. Remember the first time we talked after I got back from Caprica
"Yeah" The Chief remembered it vividly "I was angry, we all were"
"I understand" "But I suppose nearly getting executed for murder and losing what is left of our careers in a crazy-ass raptor mission can make too people put aside their differences." He smiled it was so true
"We're approaching the coordinates" The Chief sat up.
Frack me he thought Sharon's down there.
