Since Irina’s betrayal, Jack had sealed himself off from the world… even dangerously so. He was emotionally distant with even his own daughter. He did it partly for the job, but mostly out of his own fear of being betrayed and hurt yet again. Trusting someone, loving someone, meant opening yourself up for the possibility of being hurt.

And he couldn’t allow that. And if it did happen, he wasn’t sure how he’d react or who he might hurt, both emotionally and physically.

The phone rang, startling him. “Bristow,” he answered in his gruff voice.

“You’re not alone Jack. You never have been.”

He was caught off guard… vulnerable… much to his dismay. “Irina?”

“Turn on the radio Jack. Don’t lose faith.” The call promptly ended.

Flipping on the radio, he noticed that it was on a different station than he’d left it. A song was just starting to play.

We all drink to forget
Some of us more than most
When reality gets too real
And the fires of hell to close
But I'm here to let you know that
That you can make it through
If you believe that someone is watchin' over you

And call it an angel
Call it a muse
And call it karma that you've got comin' to you
What's the difference
What's in name
What matters most is never ever losin' faith
'Cause it's gonna be alright
You're not alone tonight

We all have our days
When nothing goes as planned
Not a soul in the world
Seems to understand
And for someone to talk to
You'd give anything
Well go on and cry out loud
'Cause someone's listenin'

Yeah, and call it an angel
Call it a muse
And call it karma that you've got comin' to you
What's the difference
What's in name
What matters most is never ever losin' faith
'Cause it's gonna be alright
You're not alone tonight

Keep your faith alive
You're not the only one

Yeah, and call it an angel
Call it a muse
Call it karma that you've got comin' to you
What's the difference
What's in name
What matters most is never ever losin' faith
Yeah, you're gonna be alright
You're not alone tonight

Oh you can cry if you want to, go on

For the first time, ever, Jack Bristow felt a lone tear roll down his cheek.
