Ollie jolted, then instinct had him ducking the shot and moving again, this time to pull the gun he'd tucked into his pants before rolling to his feet. He got a return shot off before Carlos Sánchez could even turn to order him to run, and moved to stand in front of Gael as he kept his gun steady on Patrick. His hand didn't tremble and his expression was cool, angry, but somehow almost remote as he fell back on the training that only Gael knew about.
"That's only one answer," he said as he saw Patrick come further down the aisle. His shot had been closer than Patrick's, but still had missed.
"He's Patrick Zeitlin," Carlos said as he came to his feet. That smooth shot from Ollie, and the cool demeanor - normally he'd be giving the Diamond a very considering look. But it was hardly the time for that; Carlos was just going to embrace that Oliver Byrd was more ready for this than he was, in a way. He only had blades. It made him wish for a moment that he carried a gun, like Elisha did. "He was Gael's boyfriend. Spade." And Jordan Novak had sent him away. Right now, based on this scene, Carlos wondered if Daniel Prochazka had had a hand in that one.
Ah, Ollie thought as he kept his eyes steady on Patrick. Well, that explained a thing or two that Gael never had. "I don't think he considers Gael a boyfriend Carlos, darling," he drawled out in a tone that was at odds with the even stare of an officer. "More like he thinks he owns him."
