Not that he minded - in fact, he'd started to ensure it. Wash was a good partner--maybe not the best fighter on the team, but he and York worked well together. They'd picked up on each other's moves and knew where to stand and when to shoot and where to watch to keep each other in good condition. So, in short, York was used to having Wash at his side.
So the one time when they were separated, he couldn't help but worry for the guy.
Yeah, Carolina said it'd be best for the team if they all split up, but without Wash keeping an eye on his back he couldn't help but feel a little bare. A little like an easy-target.
Frequently York checked his HUD trackers, just to check-up on Wash's location. It was a comfort knowing that little grey dot wasn't too far away.
"Lower-level security's busted." York murmured into his helmet, watching the way some of the team began to move to his coordinates. "Might, uh. Have a little trouble on our hands soon though." It was only one alarm... that wouldn't garner all their enemies rushing to his spot, would it?
Turning around, only to come face-to-face with the barrel of a gun in some cocky soldier's hands, York thinks that maybe he should move before he has the chance to find out.
"Oh man, when I bring you down, they're gonna call me a hero--" the guy was planning further ahead than was necessary. It was up to York to put a stop to that.
"Sorry, bud." Sweeping out his foot, York brought the guy down and stood in one swift arc, grabbing the gun as the other fell. "I don't go down easy." And, because he was an enemy, York couldn't feel bad about silencing the guy for good.
Lifting his gaze, York became aware of more insurrectionists, all approaching with their guns raised.
To his team, he spoke;
"I'm not likin' that the bad guys are gettin' here faster than any of you."
