Meaning, his body was shaking violently as his bellowing laughter rang in his PA's ears. "What- what did you do?!" the company man asked with a horrified expression, his voice trembling as he stumbled backwards, almost falling over a cabinet.

"Me? The real question you should be asking is what he did! I mean, lo-ho-ho look at him! He's a mess!" Jack laughed again, almost acting hysterical. Who was Rhys kidding? Jack was definitely hysterical. He should probably get as far away from him as possible at this point. But, as the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. No, that was probably not what killed this guy. But Rhys couldn't really tell as all the blood he could see was already enough to make his vision go blurry.

The company man took a deep breath to calm himself a little. He knew that the CEO could get a little, uhm, 'out of control'. But he never really hurt him before, except for an occasional punch - you can choose where (and you'd probably be right too). So he should be fine. Probably. Right?

So, he stepped a little closer. The poor guy on the floor looked like he got mangled by a Skag. Which would not be very plausible, because they were on Helios. Wait. Didn't Jack still keep Pandoran monsters in the Research & Development? "Did- did a skag from the R&D get loose?!" Of course his fight or flight response immediately set in. He sounded more scared than intended, though, judging by Jack's reaction. Handsome Jack walked over to his assistant, a gleam in his eyes as he grinned at Rhys. "Relax, cupcake. I already sent out a troop to search for the thing. It's gonna be fi-" but he got interrupted by a roar in the - not so distant - distance. Jack's head whipped around, his body instantly moving into the direction from where the sound came from.

"Jack! Are you crazy?!" Rhys yelled, his feet glued to the ground in a moment of hestitation. He shouldn't run after him. But he also couldn't just run away and do nothing. So he stomped after Jack, muttering curses under his breath. "Coming along for the ride, eh pumpkin?" Jack asked, cocking his gun and shooting the other a confident smirk. "No games, Jack. If that thing could maul that beefcake back there, it's gonna make short shrift of guys like us!" Rhys looked sternly at the CEO who merely raised an eyebrow. "There's no need to worry about it, Rhysie. I'm having a troop of Loader Bots and Hyperion soldiers taking care of this little problem as we speak. We just swoop in for the final blow." Jack sounded alarmingly excited and confident.

The noise was getting louder as they reached the Hub of Heroism and Jack's steps were getting faster to a point where he was pretty much running. Rhys had no trouble keeping up with him, though, as much as he'd prefer to just stay behind. Then they saw it. A huge Skag, rounded by only a fraction of the troops Jack originally sent. Well, Rhys didn't have to guess where the rest of them went, seeing as there was enough blood and gore to fill a kiddie pool with. He flinched. As Rhys glanced over to Jack he could see that spark in his mismatched eyes. He was practically beaming, not even trying to hide his amusement and joy. Rhys frowned. "Let's do this, Cupcake." Jack chuckled as he rushed forward, shooting his gun at the monstrosity. Rhys readied his own gun aswell and aimed with a shaky sigh.
