I'll admit that what I did was reckless and not thought through. However, I would think if someone you cared about was naked and bound in a cage with dozens of horny sailors around, you might be willing to be reckless as well. I know I screwed up...obviously. I also know that you saved me, and I was going to thank you. However, you might want to get off your high horse and stop thinking that I'm supposed to just grovel at your feet and obey your every word."</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>"You're welcome."  Mac's voice was deeply sarcastic as he shook his head from side to side.  "And to answer your question, if someone I cared about was naked and bound in a cage with dozens of horny sailors around, I'd damn well come up with a plan that gave me a decent chance of helping them.  Charging right into the lion's den, by the way, seldom works out that way.  And so help me God, I will get you back to Norfolk to testify at the court martial if I have to keep you in chains from now until the gangway goes over."  He brought up a finger, and pointed it right under her nose.  "So don't test my patience."
