It was as though he was holding onto a fish with the way she was wriggling and flailing in her arms. "Alice, Alice its alright." He grunted, avoiding her fists as he held her close. "It's me. Your father." Sebastian doubted she could hear him. He didn't know what caused this. Jack looked back and noticed her freak out and approached her, "Alice! What's wrong!" But she started to fight even more as Jack came closer. Sebastian narrowed his eyes, "Idiot! Take off that uniform!" Confusion colored Jack's face before he realized his error. "Alice! Alice, it's just me, Jack!" She fought even harder against Sebastian's hold and he growled. "I said take off the uniform!" he barked. Jack looked heartbroken as he undid the uniform jacket, discarding it on the floor and leaving him in just his under shirt and the blue pants. He discarded the badge, hat, and belt but kept the gun in his waistband. "Now get us out of here." Sebastian barked. Jack took one last look at Alice before running back down the hall. Sebastian held his daughter close, "It's alright, love." He murmured, "You're alright now. We're going to get you home."
