Percell took a deep breath then said, "Anderson and Goldman were POW's,
Goldman and Alex went to dinner and the restaurant blew up and she died."
Beth leaned against Percell, kissed him and said, "That's. wonderful.."
"What..?"
"Behind you." She whispered. Behind her stood the Lieutenant, arms crossed, staring intently at them.
Danny stood up behind Beth and saluted Goldman, when he didn't return the salute he said, "Hello, Lt.uh.sir"
Hey, Myron, how are you, I'm glad everyone made it back alright."
He didn't say anything, just stood looking at them both. "Goldman, what's wrong?"
He didn't look at Beth, only stated, "Beth, go, but meet me in my office in 20 minutes."
"Goldman, don't get upset."
"Go."
She got up, looked at Danny, then glanced at Myron. He didn't return her look, but kept his stare intent on Percell. "Percell, what the hell do you thing you are doing? You know you aren't allowed this close to the wire, and bringing a reporter, someone important out here where she could get it by a sniper. That was pretty stupid, Percell, then not watching, you were making out, like a couple of teenagers."
"Sir, it wasn't what it looked like." Myron raised his eyebrow. "After we got on back from the mission, Lt. I didn't know where she was/ I found her, sir, carried her over here, watched the sun come up and she was just givin' me a little kiss, that's all, really sir." Percell explained in his raspy voice.
"Alright Percell, just don't let it happen again."
"Yessir. Thanks, Lt."
Goldman turned around and headed for his hootch and his fight with Beth.
She was sitting on Goldman's chair when he walked into his hootch. "Myron, how dare you tell me and Danny what to do, you're dumber than what you look. Man, you're definitely messin' with the wrong person." Beth exclaimed before Myron got one word out.
"You just wait a damn minute, here. Danny knows that takin' you out to the perimeter was dangerous, then he does it anyway. Percell needs to thin before he does something. I've deeply considered having you switched your quarters so that you would be stayin' with Mckay and me.
Beth snapped her head around and glared at him. "You will do no such thing. Don't you dare mess with my personal life, not during this war, not during my lifetime, do you understand me?"
Goldman smiled, did an about face and walked out the door. Beth sat speechless on Myron's chair, but a few moment later she took off after him, "Goldman, wait, God, Myron wait!"
She shot up from the chair and took off towards the door, headed out and before she got anywhere, she ran into a hard chest, falling to the ground. She looked up and there stood Mckay, looking down at her.
"Problems?" He asked as he reached down for her hand. "Hey, look I don't remember exactly what happened last night, but I have a feeling it wasn't good."
She took his hand, "Mckay, don't worry about it. I should have known better than to let things get as far as they did. And yeah I'm having troubles, Myron's being an ass."
Just as the words come out of her mouth Myron walked back around the corner. "I'm an ass huh?"
"Look, Myron, I just."
"Myron, just let her talk."
"Mckay, stay outta this."
Beth shook her head. "Listen, guys, Myron, you have no idea how much it would mean to me if you would just let me stay where I am now, because their seems to be more raw emotions in their, and they include me. There around more than you and Mckay. He's always flying on missions, and you're either talkin' with Brewster or you have some kind of papers to fill out and type, or a letter to send home to some poor folks who just lost their son. I need to be around other people, who will include me in things and not leave me here to fend for myself. I'm new to this."
Myron and Mckay looked at her. Myron said, "Fine, but they better not put you in any danger."
"Fine." She smiled, feeling good for once today. Beth went and hugged each guy. "See ya guys later." She walked back to her hootch, everyone gone, except Percell, laying on his cot. "Hey." She walked in and went over to him, and rubbed his shoulders. "Damn, you're real tight." He glanced up at her and laughed. "That didn't come out right. " She rubbed his shoulders and his neck and leaned down and kissed him. "I almost had to move out. Myron was pretty pissed." "What?
"He didn't though, I talked him out of it and everything between me and Mckay is fine. Thankfully." ******* A month later, the guys hopped off of the chopper, just coming off of a week mission. Standing in the same spot Danny had stood at a little over a month, Beth waited for her boys to come home, not being able to sleep much since they had left. As soon as the chopper had left Beth ran over to Percell, jumped up into his arms and kissed him, coming out full of camo paint. "Is everyone home?" He nodded. "Good, let's get you showered off and into Saigon for some cool beer." "And hot women!" Taylor yelped. He glanced at Beth, "Or just cold beer." Taylor and Beth laughed. *** After Danny had showered he come back to the hootch, only in a towel, hair dripping wet. "Hurry, let's go!" She said standing in a knee high length skirt and a blue spaghetti strap top. Taylor walked in, "I got new boots, and a new shirt. I'm ready for some fun."
Beth leaned against Percell, kissed him and said, "That's. wonderful.."
"What..?"
