Jack watched the events unfold, remaining on his guard before the Commander really started to get it. Jack figured this would be a time to intervene, as soon as Alex raised his powered sword, Jack fired another tranquilizer at the kid with dead-eye accuracy.
The moment Alex was subdued, Jack leaped forward, roughly grabbing the Commander, and throwing him over his shoulder while activating yet another trap, which would be used for a quick getaway.
Another field of hard energy and electricity separated Jack and John from the mountain. Jack knew Val would handle herself, and didn't need to be told what to do. He'd done his research. She was capable.
Jack activated his communication device, requesting an evac drone, and projected his coordinates to the plane circling miles above the Himalayas. Jack said nothing to the Commander that had ordered his death, that he'd just saved.
Jack was a twisted old man, yes, but on the battlefield, when it really came down to it, honor was something Jack valued. Honor and perseverance.
Commander John was at the mercy of Jack's honor, and Dylan the meta had received a respect from Jack. Not because he was a powerful opponent, but because of what he saw in the kid. He'd need to request that Dylan be spared if another kill team was sent without Jack.
