"He's my old man, ok? He may not be much in your eyes, but he's all I got here. If I can make it work; what is your problem?" I asked in confusion.

MacLeod stared at me for a long time, his face impassive. He wasn't even giving me a clue to what was going on in that thousand year old brain of his. I didn't understand why he was having such a problem accepting that I had finally found my old man. Sure, the guy had some family issues but that didn't have to creep into my life.

"We'll talk later, ok?" Mac said finally. His voice was quiet, almost sad even.

He turned away from me as I sighed deeply, looking down the hall as if patience herself was going to come and help me. Mac was great at the mysterious walk away and most days the guy was like a Rubik's cube. All colorful on the outside, but a real puzzle once you got down to it.

"Yeah. Later." I mumbled at his retreating back with a quick eye roll towards the ceiling. My informal nickname for Mac was turning out to be right. He really was Mr. Mysterious at times. I nodded in agreement with myself as I turned to walk back.

I stuck my hands into my pockets as I walked down the hall and let out another heavy sign. Most days I didn't know what I had done to piss him off; today was just another one of those days. I was so not looking forward to our talk later.
