"You know you could just tell her" Phoenix suggested "What are you talking about?" Bob asked as they entered the classroom hanger
"You know exactly what I'm talking about" Phoenix stated
"We could die when we go up there Bobby, you can't keep everything to yourself" Rooster agreed
"Oh shit," Hangman said as the group stopped in the aisles
Abigail was stood solmly talking to Cyclone and Maverick
"That face is never good" Jake muttered as they sat down
"Team," Maverick said making each of them straighten their backs
"Ms Seresin has some new information on the mission"
"Ms Seresin and not telling us himself, this is bad" Rooster agreed
Abigail stepped up to the podium, placing a file that was definitely heavier than when they last saw it
"Good morning everybody," she said swallowing hard
"I wish I was here to give you good news, I honestly wish I could tell you all that the mission is called off and you can all get time off to go hug your families" she sighed bracing her hands on the podium
"But I can't, I'm afraid I'm here to tell you the exact opposite, I am here to tell you that new Intel has been discovered that moves the mission date up, 1 week, your mission has been moved to 1 week today, you will be here early in the morning and you will leave late, you will be trained, rigorously and I find it necessary to remind you that, your lives are on the line here, more than any mission you did before, more than the uranium mission
Therefore, if anyone on our A team wants to back out, you can, at no repercussion to your career or reputation, which I will assure you personally but today is your last day to say no, tomorrow you sign the latest drafts of your contracts, legal fares and wills"
The tension in the room was thick and silent, no one wanted to break it
"Thank you Ms Seresin," Maverick said quietly
Abigail was quick to flee the podium, leaving the hanger
Bob went to stand but Phoenix grabbed his arm "I know you want to but sit" she whispered harshly
She looked over to Rooster who nodded standing and leaving as Maverick started to talk
"I feel like you hide in this office then you do work," Rooster said as he opened the door
Abigail chuckled slightly dabbing at her eyes carefully
"Hey Roo" she smiled
"You alright love?" He asked
"I told you not to call me that, someone will take it wrong" she smiled
"Are you okay?" He repeated
"My brother and 3 of my friends are about to fly themselves into certain death, what do you think"
"I think, you need to talk to someone," he said simply pulling the chair to behind her desk
He hugged her close "Bob, Jake,
Fanboy and Phoenix are amazing pilots some of the best, that's why their here, because their the best, Top Gun graduates and deserve more praise than I can give, they will get out of this, I won't say they'll get out unharmed cause no one can but they'll get out alive" he told her
"I'm blaming you if they don't," she said quietly
"Blame me all you want as long as it's not yourself" Rooster agreed
