Chapter 70: Anything For You

Jackson pushed on his temple with his fingers trying to ease the pain. He'd had a couple MRI's since his incident with the door a couple months ago, and everything had come back clear. Even though everything looked fine, he still got a killer headache now and then, usually due to high stress. Things around the office were crazy, and he was trying to deal with everything as quickly and efficiently as he could so it could all be put to rest. The powers that be had decided that everyone from the unit wouldn't be headed out this fall. They had been cutting people from the roster left and right. He'd heard rumors from a guy he knew that he'd probably be flagged and taken off the list due to his accident. He didn't really want that to happen, and he made sure that no one knew about the potential of him staying behind. The last thing he needed was to get someone's hopes up only to have them trampled when it didn't happen later.
