[QUOTE="kid A, post: 899267, member: 11757"] As she holstered her sidearm, Andreev replied to her, "I do not doubt your abilities, Lieutenant. As I said, there is no-one I would rather have protecting me. However, I would like to avoid any trouble as much as possible. Besides, this will give us a chance to talk." He reached inside his jacket, checked the revolver, feeling safer for it being there. He had had little use for firearms nowadays, working mostly with various space programs. However, on the rare occasion a project included military involvement, he was required to re-qualify with his weapon. After a while, he had made it a point to keep himself in practice. It never amounted to much more than a job requirement or hobby, but now, feeling it there, he was glad for it. He was reminded yet again of his days in the military. They began to chat. Lt. Reed told him about her life, growing up in Texas through her days at the Academy and serving at Elgin AFB. Confidence and ambition, two qualities that Andreev found most attractive in women, were apparent in her actions and decisions throughout her life. Andreev smiled, "I am one of those rare individuals on this planet, Lieuytenant, to have found the good fortune to realize his dreams. My life has been a difficult one, but not without it's rewards." He told her his story, and they talked into the night, the drive passing by more quickly than Andreev would have thought. Or would have liked. [/QUOTE]
