Challenge: 346 - Fold
Notes: Jack wishes he could say goodbye

Jack's breath caught in his throat as he picked up Owen's lab coat and began folding it.  

Now all it represented was a bundle of possessions that would be locked away for eternity in a box down in the archives.  

As his hand brushed over the assortment of badges adorning the coat, the tears he'd been trying to hold back came pouring down his face.  

Owen had died because of him.

Him and Toshiko.

Beautiful Tosh who'd died in his arms.   

And poor Owen who'd died alone. No assurances, no goodbyes. Just cold, unforgiving death.

Jack would never forgive himself.
