He picked up his coffee or what remained of it as Daniels's approached him, and gave a nod to her, before she moved towards the door, and frowned, but said nothing. It was a small world when it came to SGC and those who were attached to the program. He had to wonder if anyone one else from his family other than Matt and Trav were part of this craze. Hopefully not. Then moved his hand to gather the files that would be archived at the SGC.

Next was Cowden, regardless of how it got started, the man at least had a sense to do a proper goodbye, polishing of his lukewarm coffee, he listened as he sat the mug back, carefully. Shook the man's hand as the meaning behind his words became all too clear. Gripping the man's hand, Robert calmly took the collar of the member of the IOA and swung one fist towards that nose and face before Oxford jerked Cowden closer to the him, "You can say all you want about me," Bobby gritted his teeth had hissed, was not arrogant to the fact that he might have caused Elliot harm, if he had, Oxford would celebrate with a bottle, "but you keep my father out of this. Otherwise I'll make you wish that I had turned out like my old man."

Robert Oxford Sr was not by any means a coward. A simple man who had enjoyed serving his country as a member of the Military. Bobby knew that for himself being a black sheep of the family had its perks at times. But he would not tolerate his family being insulted right in front of him. If people thought he would brush it aside, they were in for a surprise.

Kim had moved when Loveridge had, deciding to wait for Oxford outside. Giving him time to pack, she was about to say something to Troy when action that was happening in the background caught her attention. Her green eyes widened in horror, while her mind wanted to be amused over someone finally taking a stand with IOA, "Troy....Uh..I mean General," she had a slip; rank or name."Captain." She pointed where Oxford was, yet didn't wait for orders she ambled fast, "Captain, let him go," she tried breaking the grip the Guards officer had on Cowden, with little success. "Sir release him." Oh why didn't she have her zat with her?

The death glare he was shooting wasn't going to help him, if Cowden pressed charges on assault.

Mentally, Troy was already preparing himself for his next engagement as he made his way out of the room. He was due at Area 51 this evening to attend an evaluation and audit committee for the newest Earth battlecruiser that was about to roll off the production line. His flight out be out of Andrew AFB in the mid afternoon, and he was about to email a friend in town to see if they wanted to catch up for a drink and a bite to eat before he flew out.

Being a widower with an estranger daughter and a deployed son did give Troy the flexibility to work from the road, bouncing between various SGC and HWC facilities of the US and her IOA allies. In a way it was ironic; when he’d been with the Delian Expedition, all he’d craved was to be back home and have a sense of normality. And yet, he’d actually spent more time in his home while on leave during his Delta years than he had since being based back on Earth. Mind you, ‘home’ was an abstract concept; he’d sold the family home in Colorado Springs following Ashlee’s passing. Nowadays, home was a string of airport hotels and temporary officers quarters.

This impromptu self assessment of his life was the reason the General didn’t see the altercation between Oxford and Cowden until it was too late. In his years with special forces, he had seen the speed with which a properly trained man could land a blow. In that moment Troy had to admit, for a Coastie, Bobby was fast. Colonel McKinnon hastily excused herself and rushed back to break up the pair.

Troy imagined that it must have felt good to be Bobby right about now, especially as he believed he’d heard reference to the Captain’s father a moment before the exchange. A much younger Loveridge would have gladly thrown himself into a foray as well, any chance to stick it to an ungrateful suit. Sadly though, in his position, the General had to be an unwilling ally to the suits day in, day out. While those in uniform put their next on line, they couldn’t do what they did without the pencil pushers in Washington.

Elliot didn't have time to react,  Bobby's fist came flying at his face and there was a very loud and very sickening crunch, followed by Elliot swearing as blood started pouring from his nose.   Oxford kept saying something to him before finally letting go of him so he could move away, Cowden swore again as he lightly touched his now smashed nose only to wince at the jolt of pain. 

Blood still ran down his face, and didn't show signs of stopping anytime soon, Elliot looked over to where McKinnon and Loveridge stood with Oxford. The Coast Guard Captain was shooting him a look like no other, Elliot gritted his teeth and gave him one right back. "You get the hell out of this building," he told him before quickly looking to Kim, "Both of you." he added, his anger apparent in his voice. 

Oxford would be lucky to still have a job by the time he returned back to the Expedition, if Cowden got his way he'd be shipped right back to Earth and sent to some penguin infested outpost where it was only daylight for one day a year. He wiped away a drop of blood that was forming on his chin, before pushing past Oxford and leaving the room to find someone to drive him to the hospital.

Kim could only gap at Troy's comment. She knew how true it was. However Bobby had done what ran in the minds of many in the halls of the SGC. Getting even with few IOA personnel. Since the Coast Guards Captain didn't seem to loosen his grip, so Kim was still trying to get Oxford to loosen his grip on the collar of the IOA agent, "Sir, release him," she hissed, "NOW."

Seeing the blood and with some mental satisfaction, Bobby jerked Cowden back. He had waited over twenty years to get his revenge over what was done to his father by the man. Still oozing a cold glare, "With pleasure," he told Elliot, as he noticed that Kim had gripped his coat by the arm, "however I hear you messing with my family, my kids. I swear to god, I'll do much worse then give you a broken nose." Seeing Eliot making his way to door, "THAT'S MY PROMISE, COWDEN."

pi$$ed, he picked up the files, still raging with anger, he looked at McKinnon, "If the a$$hole, expects me to apologise. Tell him he's dreaming and he can wait for hell to freeze over." Then at Loveridge, a little calmer, "I'll apolosise to you for loosing my cool, because your support means hellva alot to Vedas, and second you have earn my respect; not because Travis holds you in high regard - yet I'm starting to see why he does. Don't that take the wrong way. Cowden provoked first." No one insulted his two old men -his uncle and father- and got away with it.

Sarah had made the hallway, checking her phone and another string of messages from Ruth when she heard the shouting. It just figured, men.

She came back on, pursing the phone as it vibrated again, and walked back into the conference room. She was almost sorry she'd missed whatever had caused Oxford to take a swing at Elliot.

Speaking of whom, she got into her purse and wordlessly handed him a wad of tissues. As she got her car keys, because she knew what a broken nose looked like from her son in football. "I'm on the top level of the car park."
