Sully: We should reach out.
I think about it.
Emmett: I'll talk to him.
Sully: Invite him to drinks at your place.
Emmett: My place?
Sully: Yeah. You're the Cap.
Emmett: Why would he come to drinks? Especially now. Don't you think he's a little busy?
Sully: Because you're the Cap.
Bouch: Great idea.
Evan: I'm in.
Fish: Let him know he's part of the team, and we've got his back.
Nelly: And invite Felix too.
Emmett: They won't come.
Sully: They won't if you don't invite them.
Emmett: Fine.
I open Pierre's and Felix's contacts and send them a group message.
Emmett: Hey. Look, I know shit has just gone down, and things are crazy, but me and the guys wanted to let you know that you're a Maverick now and we've got your back. If you're up for it, we'd love for you to come around to my place for drinks when you feel up to it.
There. Done.
Emmett: Message sent.
Sully: You're a good Cap.
Emmett: * Insert flip off emoji *
Pierre: Sounds like exactly what I fucking need. Thanks, Cap. Things have just gone south here, but I think I'm going to need that drink tomorrow night, if that's okay?
I stare at Pierre's words.
Fuck.
Emmett: Of course. Whenever suits. You have a lot of shit going on.
Felix: We'll be there tomorrow night. What time?
Emmett: 7 p.m. I'll send the address.
Pierre: Appreciate it.
I move to the other group chat.
Emmett: They’re in.
