Tumblr media
ethan  looks  up,  eyes  widening  a  small  fraction  at  the  sight  of  the  paper  in  joel’s  hand.  he’s  all  too  familiar  with  those  damn  missing  posters  ;  he  knows  who  put  them  up,  who’s  trying  to  find  him  again.  how  many  fucking  quarantine  zones  has  SHE  sent  those  fucking  things  to,  masquerading  their  purpose  as  merely  being  a  concerned  wife  looking  for  her  husband,  when  in  actuality,  her  and  her  colleagues  just  want  to  poke  and  prod  and  test  him  for  something  that  they  refused  to  explain?  it’s  SICKENING.  ethan  tears  those  goddamn  posters  down  whenever  he  finds  them  ;  he  let  his  hair  grow  longer,  didn’t  shave,  didn’t  keep  his  face  perfectly  smooth  the  way  he  used  to.  he  doesn’t  use  the  last  name  anymore  either  :  WINTERS.  he  goes  by  baker.  anything  to  try  and  get  rid  of  the  resemblance  between  him  and  the  man  on  the  poster.
[  THEY  WILL  HAVE  TO  DRAG  HIM  BACK  KICKING  AND  SCREAMING.  ]
gloved  hands  slip  inside  the  pockets  of  his  jacket.  the  brief  flash  of  surprise  is  gone,  facial  features  now  impassive.  there’s  a  small  shrug,  followed  by  ethan  calmly  answering,    “  that  looks  nothing  like  me,  joel.  ”
it’s  not  him.  it  used  to  be,  but  not  anymore.  
joel  doesn’t  need  to  know.  ethan  cannot  trust  him  with  that.  he  will  NOT  risk  HER  being  alerted  to  his  whereabouts  ;  that  is  one  thing  he  cannot  do.
