Same night 9:30
Jack awoke, someone was banging on their door. He slipped out of bed and pulled on his boxers. Wiping traces of sleep from his eyes he opened the door to find Kendall staring at him angrily.
"Bristow what the hell are you doing?!" Kendall yelled angrily.
"What are you talking about?" Jack said his mind still blurred from sleep.
"We are having dinner. Your family is having dinner and you're not there. Neither is that terrorist you call your wife."
"Kendall with all do respect. Go f*ck yourself. What my wife and I choose to do or not to do is up to us. And as long as you are on this trip you will stop calling Irina a terrorist she is my wife and a dual citizen of this country. Therefore you will treat her with the respect she deserves and if I ever find out you have disrespected her the consequences will be catastrophic! Do I make myself clear?!" Jack said his voice measured but showing his anger.
"Bristow, I am your boss. You have no right to. . ."
"You're not my boss right now. Your just the pain in the ass tag-a-long that had to come so I could get time off." Jack said slamming the door.
Irina jumped up looking at him her eyes unfocused. Jack took in his wife's confused expression and could now understand why she had wanted a vacation. She was exhausted and pushed to her limits. Nothing as minute as a door slamming should have rattled her to this extent. He rejoined her in bed. He ran a hand through her hair and kissed her gently.
"Jack, what's going on?" she asked her voice heavy with sleep.
"Kendall. Everyone's having dinner and he wanted us to join."
"Ok. We can . . "
"No, Irina. We'll order something later. For now I think you need to go back to sleep. You look tired."
"I'm fine. I'm wide awake." she said her words proven false as she yawned heavily.
"Not even close sweetheart." he said laying down and pulling her back to his chest.
Within minutes her breathing evened out and she was fast asleep. He pulled her close indulging in the scent of her. Her pomegranate shampoo was the last thing he remembered before he followed her once again into sleep.
