Wash's Motivation
Wash couldn't help but smile to himself as he backed into Carolina. With her at his back, he could ensure she was safe. He turns around, and Carolina is shoving him to the ground. He sees the grenade on the ground and pulls her into him. "I can't lose her," he thinks. When they land on the ground, he finds it painful but pleasant. Who knows what would have happened if he hadn't grabbed Carolina. The explosion had wiped out all the soldiers, or so he thought. One stands up and stumbles towards Carolina, raising his gun. Wash reacts on instinct. He screams out her name and shoots the soldier down as fast as possible. The fear that shot through his heart perfected his aim. He didn't want to rush Carolina, but York was dead and he has always been there for her. Washington knows he is about to make a risky move.
