"Yeah, yeah, I've got him," comes the answer from Rabbit's left. (Along with a blatantly-telegraphed grab for the camera. She's not going to let her own blackmail material stay in his hands forever.)
The instant Voodoo's arm is free, she slings it over her shoulders. He's a big guy; lugging around a massive machine gun will do that for a person. She staggers for a moment before shifting her posture. "Up you get," she half-croons. "Easy now, easy. No more schnapps for you, Brian."
No. Calling him by his real name feels strange. After so long spent with the SEALs, months under the metaphorical gun, those names are the ones that feel right. They're not Eric or David or Brian. They're Rabbit and Mother and Voodoo. Just like she's not Wraith. She's Parker.
SHD rules of engagement state that anonymity is the way to go. You use codenames and make sure no one knows who you are. The only place that information is kept is on ISAC. That little orange smartwatch is the only link to what makes an agent more than just a spook.
But the situation has changed. There's never really been a point to the subterfuge. It gives the civilians hope to have a name with the face. Less and less often is Wraith in use. Now it's just Parker. That seems right.
"Jesus, Voodoo, lean the other way. You're crushing me here."
