Day 8: M*A*S*H Compound, Swamp, 1500 Hours

She headed back to the Swamp and fell face first on her cot, tears brimming in her eyes.

A while later, Captains' Pierce and Hunnicutt entered the Swamp and Pierce noticed his niece laying on her cot with her face buried in her pillow.

"Jess?" Pierce asked as he sat down on the edge of Jess's cot. "It wasn't Dalli's fault, and Father Mulcahy is fine, his leg just needs to heal," Pierce said, trying to make Jess feel better.

Jess was silent for a while, but then she mumbled into her pillow, "She won't talk to me."

"What?" Pierce asked.

"Dalli won't talk to me. She's mad that I agreed with you guys about her to have handled it herself rather than not telling someone," Jess explained, lifting her tear-streaked face out of her wet pillow so her uncle could understand her.

"I'm sorry we made her mad at you," Pierce apologized in an attempt to make Jess feel better.

"I'm sure she'll get over it soon," B.J. said reassuringly, and even though all of them wanted to believe it, they knew it wasn't true. Dalli could hold a grudge for years she was so stubborn.
