Callahan’s Gambit

I open my eyes and it’s deep dusk, Cassian begs me to get up and details the plan. He’s planned for their scheduled level two supply run with his squad. Except he doesn’t call them that, he just shrugs off and says they’re just some random Dune Reapers he’s familiar with. It’s then when I notice that the picture of him and his squad has suddenly vanished inside the storage room. It’s in the way he takes his time to come up with another word for squad. And how he looks away when he explains who the people are, then taps my thigh to get up—now master of himself. However, I oblige and get up. As he walks me out he further details that the plan is strictly him and his team, firmly excluding me. I twitch my jaw but as I turn around I throw my hands in my pockets, with a careless shrug and I say.

“Ok.”
