Everything was over quickly and when they saw a moment, they took it, both halves of Cole rushing over to Chris and pulling him away from the strongest parts of the memory. Both halves stayed close and they grabbed him into a hug, holding him and trying to comfort him, one half petting his hair gently.

"It's okay Chris, we've got you." "Come on Chris, come back to us." Both sides were doing their best to draw him out of the memory without resorting to cutting the link entirely, knowing that would shake Chris up more on top of the memory. Cole could hear over the radio the sounds of their handler panicking and calling for them to respond, but he blocked that out. Their partner was more important. "It's over, it's just a memory." "A really bad one, yeah, but still a memory. You can go back into the drift now, Chris. We won't let you go."
