Apollo nearly shook with frustration as he approached Jack. “We need to talk,” he barked.

Jack glanced at the mountain of flesh shaking at his side and nodded. “Okay, buddy. Give me a second while I—”

“I need to talk to you now,” Apollo muttered through clenched teeth.

Jack put away the topographical maps he was going over and closed the folder. “Okay. Let’s talk.” He pulled Apollo to the side. “What’s going on?”

“It’s Maria, man. She ain’t having nothing to do with me now. I tried to hook up with her a little bit ago and all she wants to do is practice her sword shit with the Padre.”

Jack looked at him expectantly. “Is that it?” Jack shrugged. “That’s what has your shorts in a twist?”

Apollo stared at him wide eyed. “Ain’t that enough? Man, I ain’t had time to spend more than five minutes with her in over a week and now that we do, she’d rather knock swords with Hank than spend time with me…and you think it’s no big deal?”

Jack smiled and shook his head. “Buddy, you need to take a chill pill and learn to relax. Go take a cold shower or something…”

“Man, I thought you would understand!” Apollo exclaimed.

“Understand what?” Jack shrugged. “You caught her in the middle of her exercise routine and you expect her to drop everything because you have five minutes to spare?” He looked at Apollo expectantly. “And now you get all antsy and pissed because she doesn’t drop what she’s doing, throw her clothes to the floor and jump your big ugly ass in front of God and everybody for a quickie before you run back out the door?”

Apollo stared at Jack with a blank expression on his face, the tic in his jaw gone.

“So am I reading you right?” Jack asked.

“Well…I…”

“Well?” He raised his brows at him. “Did you or did you not just get all pissed off because your girl didn’t drop everything for a quickie because you found five minutes in your busy schedule?”

Apollo’s face flushed as he realized he was being a jerk. “Man, I didn’t think about it that way.”

“No, I don’t think you did,” Jack said. “What if it was the other way around? What if she had found five minutes in her schedule and you were busy with something? Maybe you were in a meeting with the colonel? Would you tell Mitchell to piss off because you had to go service your girl?”

“Well, come on now, she was just practicing swords and…”

“And that is important to her!” Jack emphasized each word, hoping it would sink into Apollo’s thick skull. “Buddy, you know I love you, but you have to understand something. She was scared to death on that hilltop. Her first real mission in the muck and she almost bought it. She ran out of ammo up there, and it was the Padre and the rest of the crew that came to her rescue. She saw what he could do with a blade and realized…blades don’t run out of bullets in the thick of it.
