Words are for sissies

Before you can answer Roldan grabs you by the collar and slams you up against the wall.

"Listen up you little prick! She's mine!" he snarls.

"Glad to see the love is still there," you say sarcastically.

"Shut the hell up, or I'll shut you up!" he growls.

"Just you try!" you say and headbutt him.

Roldan falls back, blood dripping from his nose.

"Cunt!" he curses and swings at you.

You dodge the punch and kick him in the groin. He falls on the ground in pain.

"You gonna let her go?" you ask.

He looks at you, red in the face and jumps up, reaching for his pistol. You hit him with an uppercut, knocking the wind out of him. He drops the gun and it clatters to the floor. But he's not out of the fight yet. He hits you with a quick succession of punches that leave you dazed.

"I'm gonna enjoy breaking your pretty face," he says.

You put up your fists just in time to block his next punch. Then you lurch forward and drive your knee up into his gut and clobber him over the head with both fists. At this point the fight becomes one sided as you continue to beat on him.

"Stop!" he says. "I'll let her go."

He tries to back up, but you stop him from doing so by grabbing his wrist and smashing his face into a table. As you stand over him, he continues to plead. By now, other soldiers have gathered around.

"Hey, that's enough man," one says.

Roldan grabs a knife from a soldier and lunges at you. That's when you grab his arm and twist it behind his back. He cries out as you **** it upward.

"Oh shit! Please don't kill me!" he begs as you put the knife to his neck.

"You so much as look at Kylie, or any other woman for that matter, and I'll gut you like a fish!" you warn.

"I won't," he promises.

You let him go, and toss the knife back to its original owner.

"Hold on to this," you say.

You down the rest of your drink and walk out. Betty's outside, leaning on your Humvee.

"Just talk to him?" Betty says.

"Didn't I tell you to stay in the apartment?" you say, annoyed.

"Hey! I'm your commanding officer, not some **** girl, Drako!" she angrily replies.

You sigh in exasperation, "You're right. I'm sorry."

"I just wanted to make sure you're okay," Betty says.

"I know," you say.

You give her a hug, and kiss her on the cheek.

"I love you, too," she says.

You hop in the Humvee and rev up the engine.

"You know, you could be my **** if you wanted," you say, teasingly.

"Oh, is that right?" she says, grinning.

"I could get some collars in your size," you say.

"Dream on, Drako!" Betty says. "But we can always go pick one out for Miki."

"Ohh, I like the sound of that," you say.

"Something with spikes and maybe a bell," Betty says.

Then the radio buzzes for you and Betty to come to the forward command center.

"So much for that," you say and turn the Humvee around.

"What happened to you?" Captain Pacco asks, looking at you as you enter his command center.

"We had a small disagreement," you say, shrugging.

"A disagreement?" he asks, raising an eyebrow.

"He left the cap off the toothpaste again," Betty jokes.

"Betty!" Pacco scowls.

"What? It's the truth!" Betty says.

"Alright, knock it off," Captain Pacco says. "We got a situation."

"What is it?" you ask.
