COWBOY BEBOP SENTENCES. | ( accepting! ) ↳ @faithcorrupted
VANDERWOOD HAD BEEN PACING THE space behind the hacker for nearly ten minutes before the fast-approaching, and fully armed, silhouettes on the security screens appeared, and he immediately turned tail to the door, pulling out his favorite gun from it's hiding place, swiftly attaching the cylinder silencer to the muzzle on his way. his job here on this mission is to protect the information as and after it's collected, and by extension, agent 707. the risks were more prominent on this job than usual, forcing him more on edge.
❛ focus on your own task, zero seven. ❜ he spat, voice cold and distant as it should be.
he faltered, the strict agent side in him wanting to CURSE himself for it, and tilted his head back to catch the confused seven's gaze. useless emotions were forbidden in this agency, but he couldn't help but care about the well-being of the man in front of him. seven is definitely the best of the best agents, a well-oiled MACHINE for the company to use as they please, but as a human being? he's a complete disaster. what would he do without him around? he could see it now, working himself to the bone, dark circles staining the underside of his eyes from never getting enough sleep, his place a total wreck of the mess he refuses to clean, his belly full of nothing but chips and soda, a proper meal never even have touched his lips. being so unhealthy, in mind and body, would affect his performance with the agency and they could have him k- —-!!!
ah… stupid. now isn't the time to think like this, so emotionally. do your job, agent.
❛ hey… ❜ the familiar click of his gun sounded through the room, his eyes twitching to and from the exit as if he was having trouble deciding if his next words were worth speaking aloud or if he should just bolt without another word.
if i don’t make it back in time…
a shallow breath fell past parted lips, eyes suddenly cold as he turned away and took a step out the door, speaking in a clipped tone, ❛ you know the drill by now. pick up the pace. get the information and go. with or without me. ❜
