[He should know it's coming, at this point, but perhaps Jack is riding a little high on the fact that he has Gabriel so close. The prospect of either answers or his hands around his enemy's throat is so overwhelming that it makes him sloppy, lets Gabriel unhook the flash grenade and set it off right in his face.
Since some of his attention is currently diverted to healing the gunshot wound in his midsection, it makes it that much easier for him to be surprised by the grenade and subsequently allows Reyes to blow another substantial chunk out of him--this time his neck and shoulder.
He immediately loses his physical form, little more than a writhing mass of black miasma in front of Gabriel. This time, it takes him a few long seconds to start pulling himself back together, leaving himself open in the process.]
