D is for Don't (SPOILERS)
This was it. Cougar was done, and he knew it. Jensen knew it to, he just refused to admit it. If he died he'd block Jensen's way out and they would both be screwed. Jensen had his niece to get home to. If anyone made it out it would be him.
He nearly acquiesced to Jensen's urging that he follow as the tech man clung to him for one last time. He could feel Jensen's desperation as he trembled.
"Cougar," he whispered, "Carlos. I..."
Cougar cut him off. "Don't," he said, shifting to get more comfortable, if that was even possible in his current state, "Don't say it. Don't say it, or I won't be able to do this. Just go, Jensen. Jake. Just go."
Reluctantly, Jensen left. He felt his heart tear in two when he heard the explosion. Sitting next to Pooch in the chopper, quietly, under his breath, he said what Cougar wouldn't let him say.
