Jack was mad, both at himself for taking those shots and because that random pilot was going to get away with acting like he was superior to the [i]Sundown[/i]'s crew. Making sure the Duel wouldn't move during takeoff, he powers it down and opens the cockpit, removing his helmet and sighing. It had been a slaughter house, one that he'd willingly taken part in. And he personally hoped he didn't have to do it again.
