shouted. “All I need to know is if he came for his check up yesterday.”
    “Ma’am, I cannot tell you that,” the receptionist stated. “As you have admitted yourself, he is you r e x -husband, not your c urren t husband. It is against the law for me to give you any information without his consent.” The receptionist checked her computer monitor. “And I do not see that consent here in his file.”
    The woman grabbed the monitor and tried to turn it around so she could see, but the receptionist smacked her hand away.
    “Hey!” the woman yelled. “You can’t assault me like that!”
    “I can and I will, ma’am,” the receptionist said. “Do I need to have security escort you from the premises?”
    “You’re goddamn right you do!” the woman screamed. “Because I’m not leaving until you give me some information!” She grabbed her daughter’s upper arm and shook it. “He hasn’t paid child support in two months. You want my children to starve, is that it? Are you such a heartless bitch you would rather my kids not eat than risk violating my deadbeat ex’s precious privacy? I was married to a SEAL for ten years; I am fucking sick of privacy!”
    The mention of the SEALs got Max’s attention and he stood up and walked slowly towards the counter. The boy saw him coming, reached back and grabbed his mother’s hand, his eyes locked on Max’s face.
    “Not now, Jack,” the woman spat.
    “Ma’am, I’m calling security,” the receptionist said, picking up her phone.
    The woman grabbed the phone and yanked it from the receptionist’s hand and was about to hit her with it when Max rushed forward and stopped her. The woman looked at the hand clamped around her wrist then up at Max’s face. She blanched at the sight, but recovered quickly.
    “Do you mind?” she snarled at him.
    “Do I mind what?” Max asked, not letting go. “Watching a good looking lady like you get tossed out of here on her ass? Yeah, I mind. No one should treat a fox like you that way.”
    The woman sputtered and blinked, unsure of how to take the compliments from a stranger while the stranger also held her arm immobile.
    “Mind you own business,” the woman said finally, yanking her arm free.
    “I was trying to,” Max said, waving at the waiting room and the spectators. “But you kind of distracted me.”
    The woman looked about and a range of emotions crossed her face as she saw everyone staring at her. Her features finally settled on a mix of resigned embarrassment. Then her eyes went wide as two officers of the VA Police marched over to her.
    “Hold on, boys,” Max said, stepping between the woman and her children and them. “I got this. We were just leaving.”
    The police officers glanced at the receptionist. She in turn glanced at Max then back at the officers and shrugged.
    “Then go,” one of the officers said. “You are disturbing the other patients.”
    “On our way out,” Max said, looking down at the children. “Ready, kids?”
    “What the hell do you think you’re doing?” the woman snapped.
    “Keeping you out of the brig,” Max said. He looked at the police officers. “You do use a brig, right?”
    “We have a holding room,” the other officer replied.
    “Well, even though that’s not as scary sounding, I’ll bet it has the same piss smell as a brig,” Max said. “Am I right?”
    The officers just glared at Max.
    “Right,” Max said. “We’re outta here.”
    He took the woman by the elbow and started walking her to the exit. She tried to resist at first, but as the police officers fell in line behind them, she stopped her struggles and let Max steer her and the kids outside.
    Once the automatic doors slid shut, and they stood on the sidewalk out in the bright sunlight, she yanked her elbow free and whirled on Max.
    “I don’t know who you are, but I didn’t need your help back there,” she snapped.
    “Yeah, you did, Mom,” the girl said.
    “Smart kid,” Max said. “I’m Max
