“It’s been a long time coming, Father.” Holden addresses Joseph respectfully, his heart thudding a hard, irregular beat in his chest that he fears may echo in the small, confined space. He holds tightly to the infant strapped to that very same chest, hoping the hard staccato beat doesn’t disturb her too much.

“You don’t know how long I’ve wanted to talk to you.”

A gun sits strapped to his side, but he has no intentions of using it. It’s protection in case things get heated and Marley is put in danger. For now, he keeps his arms wrapped tightly around her, his lips to her forehead so she can feel her papa and be calm.

The Project at Eden’s Gater had been one thing, though when the first of many attacks started stemming out from that damn Guy Marvel movie set that they’d set up in the mountains. Now people were chomping on one another and it was starting to turn the valley into a damn horror movie. 

Ignoring the click in her knees as she ascends the stairs up to the church that was situated right on the shore of the lake in Joseph’s compound Jean pulls her hand away from her weapon to knock out the secret passcode before taking a step back to wait.

          it was a useless endeavor, trying to make any sense of what had happened or how it could have come to this, yet every waking LUCID moment the deputy had was spent on it. joseph wasn’t the first wolf in sheep’s clothing she’d dealt with and this wasn’t even the first CULT she’d handled, but the answer to how it could have come to this alluded her no matter how hard she tried. throat burning ( she wouldn’t take any chances drinking the WATER unless she had to. ) she cleared it, pointing daggers. ‘i’ve studied men like you. disillusioned men who think they’re SAVING people.’ her voice was rusty from disuse but she continued out of spite. ‘they’re a dime a dozen.’

The Rookie hates this, standing in a cage for who knows how many days. She has lost count of the days but she knows it’s been a long time. Jacob and Joseph are speaking she should try to listen but instead she’d looking to poor Staci. The whole point of this was to try and save her partner but it had gotten her into more trouble.

Jolene wraps hans around the bars of the cage, staring at Joseph. “I don’t want to cause any more trouble for you or your family, Father.” She tells him not sure how much of that was true. Seeing how John had treated Hudson she wanted them all to pay but she would be kind for now hoping it would get them somewhere.

“Just let Pratt and i out then we’ll be on our way alright? There’s no need for anymore of your siblings to get hurt I just want my people back.” She tells Joseph hoping to reason with him. While he may not seem the most reasonable she had to try.

ISN’T IT FANTASTIC?

Joseph walking with him often though, js. As slow as he needs, probably arm in arm with him.
