First thing we do when landing is go to one of their fellow soldiers home. Andre said this would be our stakeout. It's here we are lead into his den full of weapons. We also are able to eat, and rest up for the evening . I needed to use the bathroom but overheard voices.

I ignore them because this is not my house or business but from where I was standing I could see them but they couldn't see me. I had to be a little nosey.

"I didn't come all the way out here to stand on the sideline." Cortez says.

"All I wanted you here for is to be my eyes. Someone I can trust without thinking."

"This is not like back in Afghanistan." Cortez watches as Andre goes over some paper on the table.

"When you didn't follow orders and I almost lost you?" Andre looks up softly into his eyes.

Cortez picks up a glass of something and gulps it. "It was war. I knew going into it."

"If anything happens I need you to get these kids out of here but most importantly." I watch their fingers touch. "You have to get out of there too."

"I only went back because of the kid." I see tears in Cortez eyes. "You know that right? After all these years. I hope you know that."

"The kid you couldn't have did nothing to save. Tez, I have told you time and time again."

"I don't know what messed me up more. That or how you consoled me that night. It changed our friendship forever."

"I should have just held you instead of..."

"Letting me make love to you." Andre's eyes drift but Cortez's find them.

Cortez then moves in closer to him. "For me that was exactly what I needed. It was beautiful, you giving yourself to me in that way."

"It was my first time letting a man top me. I was scared as shit." He smiles.

Damn. I can't imagine Andre moaning and spreading his legs and shit. He look strictly like the nigga in charge in the bedroom.

"You told me you wasn't ready to be anything more when we finished in Afghanistan. Said you couldn't do it. I waited at that airport for hours. You never came."

"Then six years later you show up in Mexico with Max." Cortez sits down on the table.

"Max was everything my heart wanted and more. My healing."

"And everything I couldn't be. The one you needed healing from. I love him too, Dre. I love him for you."

"I ain't gonna be able to talk you out of coming am I?"

Cortez shook his head. "Cause if you fall then who will carry you?"

"Can you at least promise that if it looks like we can't win, you will retreat?"

"No. I won't leave you. Save that speech for Zay and his boo."

Andre shakes his head and hugs Cortez . "Stubborn."
