Disclaimers: All things SWAT Kats belong to the owner of the
show.  No infringement intended and no profit gained.  The rest
of this insanity is mine. 

Notes: My Muses are being more flighty and stubborn than normal
and this is the result.  It's short but it's a scene that I've
always seen as missing when they did the flashback, even before I
was sure I saw the guys together. 

Summary: A missing scene set the night the guys get kicked off
the Enforcers from Jake's POV. 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

It's late.  It's cold.  I'm scared.  Not that I'd ever admit it
to him, but then there's a couple hundred things I can't tell
him. 

It's not that I'd mind letting him know I'm vulnerable, but he
couldn't handle it.  He thinks I'm this womanizing macho
sureshot.  The other half of his womanizing hotshot pilot.  At
least he thinks I'm his other half on some level.  It's better
than I expected once I figured out he didn't date guys. 

Yah, leave it to me to fall in love with a Kat that isn't capable
of even wanting me, much less loving me.  I hate my life
sometimes, but it's par for the course.  I've never done this
relationship thing well. 

Today's been absolute shit.  I can't believe Feral did it.  I
can't believe I said that we quit.  I really can't believe Chance
went along with me.  He didn't blink then.  But now ... 

Now he's had time to think.  He's had time to begin to understand
what we've lost.  Well, what he's lost. 

Face it, Jake.  You've never cared that much about what you did
or where you lived.  You just wanted this drop dead gorgeous kat
in your life and found the best way to be close to him.  You got
what you wanted and cost him everything he did in the process. 

This seriously sucks.  I was even beginning to like the Enforcers
and now it's all over. 

What's that noise? 

Oh, God.  He's ... crying?  He must think I'm asleep. 

Chance ... I'm sorry bud.  Whatever it takes, I'll make sure you
get back in the air as a goodkat again.  I know I haven't been
very good at keeping promises so far but this one will happen.  I
screwed up your life, I'll fix it as best I can.
