Cruz watched the look pass over this new man's face - judgement. He apologized for his father, he had no place. "My father is a good man. You don't get to pass judgement on him. He's done bad things for good people. And we may not understand the consequences or reasons but he does." Cruz didn't know what his father did, but he knew without a doubt his father was a good man. There were reasons and he'd learn them when he could walk again.
The pain decided as Ivan was talking to bury itself deep in his stomach and Cruz tried hard to listen but he could only focus on holding his stomach contents from leaving his stomach. He'd only managed a little water as it was. Even he knew that he needed to eat and drink most importantly.
He vaguely heard the explanation - the wrestling metaphor was probably lost on him, he'd never been physical in that sense, but the concept was familiar. He was doing that right now. Wrestling with the pain.
The pain lessened right around the time Ivan said "maybe" and "I think". Like he wasn't sure. Who had his father brought him to help. Confidence didn't seem to be this officers strong suit here. But what choice did he have, if his father thought it could help...
Cruz spoke though the pain was evident in his voice, "What do I have to do?"
