[QUOTE="kid A, post: 884606, member: 11757"] The drive back to his apartment was quite pleasant. Lt. Reed seemed to have many questions for him; how could he stand the Florida weather, for example. A valid question, for it was always warm, and very humid. But, after living much of his life in the cold of Russia, and working long hours in the temperature-controlled environment of KSC, he more than welcomed the change. They found his apartment rather quickly, and, leaving his bag, he got out of the car with his keys in hand. He intended to get his vodka, check for anything else he may need for the trip, and come right back out. He was surprised to hear, then, the second car door slam shut. [I]This has indeed turned out to be a long day,[/I] Andreev thought to himself. And by the look of the grin on Lt. Reed's face, it was turning out to be one he would not soon forget. He could not help but think that Commander Durant may have had something to do with this. He revised his mental note to bring two bottles of his best vodka for Durant. Andreev's smile returned. "Well, Lieutenant, it has been long since I have served in the military, so you may know about these rules better than I. However, I should think that a woman such as yourself could hold her liquor. And I don't see the harm in one drink." [/QUOTE]
