Voice Prompt #6 What makes you lose your temper?
It had started out as a regular night. I was at Joe's, telling tales and generally just relaxing. When a mutual friend of ours, Mac came in with trouble following behind him. His girlfriend had been kidnapped by an old friend turned rival. Apparently his old friend had been arrested along with the woman he loved and they both had been sent to prison. The rival's woman died and had a grudge against Mac.
Mac was still debating what to do since he didn't know what had happened. He went back home to wait for contact and I went with him. By the time we got there, Joe had been kidnapped and Mac had his instructions. No police, come alone, and no one gets hurt.
I volunteered to go with him and Mac turned me down. He was going to play by the kidnappers rules. He was going to just give up and he actually did. If I hadn't disregarded his wishes, he would be. He gave up, because they threatened his friends. I couldn't believe that Mac would just give up without a fight.
One example of what makes me really angry. Life is far too short too waste it.
