[ Well, at least one of the people who gives a shit about Gabriel Reyes isn't as dead as everyone thought. He's a ghost in his own sense, maybe, but as soon as he'd returned to the explosion site and realized that there was even the slightest chance that Reyes might have survived, he hasn't stopped looking.
He'd had to recover from his wounds, but once he was able to be vertical without feeling like he was going to pass out or puke all over himself, he started on his mission. His suspicion had been that Talon was behind the explosion from the start, and they have a track record of picking up people connected to Overwatch and twisting them to their side -- with force, if necessary.
All Jack can do is hope that he isn't too late. That Gabriel isn't lost to him, the way that Lacroix was.
He's been following Talon's bloody trail for a while now, hacking into their databases where he can, sifting through files for any hint of what they might have done with Gabriel. A lot of it is in code, and the irony is that this sort of work was always Gabriel's forte more than his, but he'd learned a few things over the years.
If he's followed the trail right, then he's finally found the place where they're keeping him. The building is well-secured, but it isn't particularly large, and it's tucked away in a remote part of Ukraine. The fact that it was so hard to find this place only makes Jack more certain that he's on the right track.
He manages to ambush one of the guards patrolling the perimeter, changes into his uniform (including a helmet that completely covers his face), and then works his way through the interior lab space to the room where they're keeping their current "pet project." Code name, Reaper.
There are two men guarding the door. It's simple enough to knock them out, and then Jack gets the door open, drawing in a breath as it slides open and he steps inside. He knows he doesn't have a lot of time, but he also has no idea what state Gabriel's going to be in. From the little he'd been able to pick up from the files, it's not going to be good. ]
