private text; backdated to a day or so after joel hauls jesse's ass to his home??

[shittybirthday]

hey its joel
tell me more about this ward guy

[hackitude]

Uh. Whhhhy...

[shittybirthday]

because hes a pain in the ass

[hackitude]

You can't kill him, Joel. The cops will find you and put you in jail. And then who'll look after Ellie?

[shittybirthday]

[ Goddamn it, it's not like he hasn't already considered that. The mere thought of being separated from Ellie by being thrown in jail is the main reason he hasn't shot anyone in Heropa yet. Amazingly. ]

somethings gotta be done about him

[hackitude]

Well if you've got any bright ideas seriously don't hold back I'm ALL EARS

[shittybirthday]

[ He's working on that part. So far, he doesn't have many ideas at all. His way of dealing with these sorts of problems is to launch into full-scale violence and kill the threat by any means possible. Kinda tricky when there's law and order that he's gotta navigate around. ]

kara still watching you?

[hackitude]

Only like a hawk.

[shittybirthday]

ok good
just to let you know im keeping an eye on your boyfriend to make sure he dont get into any more trouble

[hackitude]

... Please do.

I'm guessing all this means you know he got jumped by Ward.

[shittybirthday]

uh yeah you could say that

[hackitude]

... Can you check on him for me? Make sure he's okay?

He doesn't want me to see him.

[shittybirthday]

just said im keeping an eye on him didn't i?
spose this all means your boyfriend didnt mention that i was the one who found his sorry ass after ward went to town on him

[hackitude]

uhhhh nope.

no he did not!!

[shittybirthday]

gathered as much
ward messed him up pretty bad

[hackitude]

I figured as much

On account of the whole it's WARD thing

Plus the whole not wanting me to see him thing

[shittybirthday]

[ Why does Joel have the very distinct feeling that the kid didn't say anything to Skye on account of what happened after Joel picked him up, too?

It's also not strictly true that he "found" Jesse on the street, but he's not about to get into Jesse phoning him, in case that comes with a bunch of questions. ]

believe me, you wouldnt have wanted to see him
it was bad what that ward guy did to him

[hackitude]

...

this is so fucked up.

[shittybirthday]

seeing you seem to know him so well and after seeing the kinda damage he can inflict
what are the chances of him harming ellie

[hackitude]

... As long as she stays out of his way, she should be fine.

[shittybirthday]

yeah?
well he ever touches ellie, we'll be finding out how many bullets it'll take to shatter his skull

[hackitude]

If he ever touches Ellie, I'll be the one pulling the trigger.

[shittybirthday]

thats if ellie dont stab his throat out first
you a good shot?

[hackitude]

I wouldn't place myself on the world's top one thousand, but I'm decent enough.

[shittybirthday]

what kinda firearms?
