Quint

A kick to my kidney drops me to my knees as I strike out at Troy. Sparring with him used to be fun, but for the past few weeks, it’s just pissed me off.

“Dude, what is up with you?” Troy falls to his knees on the pad like he’s getting ready to pray and waits for me to explain.

“I’m sorry, man.” I roll over onto my back and cross my forearms over my eyes. “Just some shit going on that I can’t get out of my head.”

“At work?” He knows I can’t talk about work beyond general references to my day, but I’ve never been this absent-minded before. Everything that went down with Damon and Scotty is still messing with my mind. Even though I know they’re back home, I can’t stop thinking about how they’re doing or if they’re back at work for Tanner again. For all I know, they might have skipped town and will never be back again.

“No, just…other shit.”

“If there’s anything going on that you want to talk about, you know I’m here for you.”

I peek at him from under my arms and give him a smirk. “You’re such a girl sometimes.”

“Sometimes.” He laughs and waggles his eyebrows. “But usually only when I’m drunk.”

I groan at the image. “TMI, dude.”

“Well, that’s better than NEI.”

I lift my eyebrow questioningly.

“Not enough information. Like what you always give me.”

“Sorry.” I know I should give him something, but I don’t know what to say. I don’t understand what’s going on in my head either. And I can’t understand why the memory of Damon and Scotty won’t leave me the hell alone. They hate me. I get it.

But just because I deserve their hatred doesn’t mean I have to fucking like it.

“I’m fine, Troy. Really.”

“All I’m saying is that you need to get your head on straight. Not just because I’m kicking your ass every day, but because in your line of work, you can’t afford to have your head in the clouds. If you can’t stay focused on your job, people could get hurt. Maybe your staff, maybe you, or maybe some innocent tourists who are walking through your hotel. Kids. Families. You need to figure this shit out, Quint.”

I nod at the truth in his words. “I know I need to do it, man. I just don’t know how.”
