Gabe was exhausted. His hours at the firehouse had to be picked up because the last three days had seen three fires, one at one of the greenhouses, one to part of the courthouse and one to the elementary school. Thankfully, no one had died in any of them but there was substantial damage and some major and minor injuries. Gabe had sustained some first degree burns on his left forearm and that was all wrapped up in gauze under his shirt sleeve. He had been on duty for the firehouse for over forty-eight hours and now was allotted twenty-four hours of his own time. He'd been granted a leave day as well because of the extenuating circumstances.
So Gabe was at the Jujube. Sadly, it was busy as hell for a Thursday night and everyone was talking about the fires. He told Sadie he was going to find a booth in the back because he needed to get away from the fire talk for a little while and he managed to find a recently vacated booth tucked into the farthest corner, where he chugged down half his beer and then rested the bridge of his nose in his finger and thumb with a sigh. He couldn't keep up with this much longer. He knew the inevitable was coming. Eventually they'd catch the arsonist, and if Gabe wasn't there to step in and kill him, he was going to give Gabe away. He started thinking about Sadie and his relationship with her.
He might've gotten away with being Eli Potts for the rest of his life if it wasn't for the arsonist. He was pretty sure he could be happy living as his alter ego in this little town...with Sadie. Gabe wasn't allowed happiness though. So much had gotten fucked up so quickly for him once he'd come her. He had no idea how to fix things. Also, it was only a matter of time before the WA attack Sinai anyway, and then it just wouldn't matter. Gabe will have gotten all of them killed. And they were all innocent. Maybe not completely innocent, but they didn't deserve annihilation just to move the WA border farther east as revenge for the Pukwana attack. Gabe sighed and tried to turn his thoughts off. He failed.
