Cougar tries to snatch the envelope away, but Jake is taller than he is, and his arms are longer. He just leans over and grabs at the envelope anyway, sending Cougar a dirty glare for trying to keep it from him.
"I can't leave you," he protests. "You're my family."
Jake doesn't talk about it much, but Cougar knows how important that word is to him. His family has been a complete shit show his whole life, abandoning him when he was a child. He decided very young that he'd have to choose his family, if he wanted one. And he's chosen Cougar. They're in it for the long haul.
