"Not until we have to." Not until they were sure that Malcolm and Neal and even possibly Negan weren't coming to look for them. The idea had settled somewhere and was sitting on a knife's edge, propped up a fraction of hope that he still had left. Then they could go off to their deaths. Doc could even walk back and let the Marshal die out there alone in the dark.
All the better to spare you the trouble, my dear. Even he wasn't looking forward to resolving himself to that kind of end. He'd had other plans on how to go. This wasn't in them.
"Enough people have gone missing and enough brains have been thrown at it that over a very large number of cases, they look at success and fail rates. Tells them what paths of action are more likely to end in rescue or death. If someone's missing more than 48 hours, the chances of them being dead go up by 23 percent." He rattled of more - the rate of people likely to own a gun and get shot by it on accident, the number of people that successfully are rescued or escape from kidnapping. For a guy who didn't say much, he wasn't dumb or shy about it. Just not as loud as others.
Doc could worry about Raylan's temper as much as he wanted - there wasn't a chance in hell that Raylan could trust himself to let that can vent even the slightest without devastating consequences to his relationship with Henry. Not after that. He hated the idea that he made anyone feel the way he did when he was eight and Arlo was drunk and ranting. It had never mattered what it was. It was never really anyone's fault but Arlo's fury never cared, doubling down on his son when his wife ran into Noble's holler to let Raylan take the brunt of it.
