nonplussed by Drew’s reaction.
    “It’s the irony of it all, really.” He looked at his watch and discovered it was eight fifteen Sunday morning. “At this moment, I should be on a beach at a gay-friendly resort in the Dominican Republic, sipping on an ice-cold beer and getting a sunburn on my shoulders.”
    He bent down and grabbed his shoes and then the hoodie and his watch from the counter. He moved toward the door, smiling a little as Chance backed away from him.
    “Instead, I’m stuck here waiting to die, and do you know why?” Drew was feeling a little out of control, and knew he should really get a handle on it but couldn’t seem to figure out how.
    Chance shook his head, frowning.
    “That man you saw me kissing? He’s my boyfriend… well, was my boyfriend. I was kissing him good-bye after having lunch with him. We were supposed to spend the night at his apartment and then catch a plane yesterday.”
    Drew stomped down the hall and into the bedroom, then tossed his shoes on the floor angrily before flopping down on the bed.
    “Then why were you walking alone in the dark in the middle of the night?” Chance sounded so confused it was almost funny.
    “Because that fucking asshole went out for a drink with his work buddies when they were done at the office for the day, and Jason ran into his old boyfriend. Apparently he’d only been stringing me along for the last six months to make this guy jealous, and it finally worked!”
    Drew could feel the tears burning in his eyes again and reached over to punch the wall in frustration.
    “He showed up back at the apartment, almost falling through the door because he was so desperate to have this guy fuck him!” Drew was yelling, and he couldn’t help it. Chance just stood uncertainly by the door.
    “I was so pissed off I punched him in the face and took off out the door.” He looked up at Chance, and he knew all his fear and pain was showing, but he couldn’t stop it. “I just wanted to get home and call my mom. I was going to hop on a plane and fly back to my family for the week and come back feeling better.”
    The tears started falling, and he hated letting Chance see him being this weak.
    “But instead, you assholes grabbed me, and now you’re going to kill me, all because that jerk decided to treat me like I was a piece of garbage.”
    He looked up to see Chance’s face go a chalky white. “I’m sorry.”
    Drew was incredulous. He was sorry? “Fuck you, Chance. Take your sorry and shove it up your ass.” He glared at the other man. “I’m gonna die… and probably more after me, because you’re too much of a fucking pansy to stand up to your father about what’s right.”
    Chance clenched his fists and took a step toward Drew. “You shut the fuck up! You don’t know anything about me and my father, you stupid faggot!”
    Drew didn’t care anymore. “What are you going to do, kill me? News flash, jackass! You’re gonna anyway! You’re a fucking soldier, Chance, and I’d bet a fucking good one! I heard what you said to your father about only killing terrorists. You don’t want to do this, but you’re going to anyway, because of him.”
    Drew angrily wiped at the tears on his cheeks with the hem of the T-shirt Chance had given him. “Do me one favor, will you? You owe me that much!”
    Chance looked taken aback. “What?”
    “Leave my body where someone can find it. That way my family will stop looking for me and move on. I have brothers and sisters who don’t need to spend the rest of their fucking lives wondering if I’m dead or I’ve just abandoned them. If you won’t do it for me, then do it for them. They’re just kids.”
    The other man’s face was ashen as he stepped back toward the door and then out of the room without a word. Drew looked at him defiantly until he grabbed the doorknob and shut it.
    Drew heard the lock click into place before letting his grief overtake him.
