Alice turned her head away from Ghost and looked out the window. "My parents are dead." She said with no emotion at all. She turned her head back to Ghost and continued: "They blasted themself to bits in an experiment." She took a drag of her sigaret and exhaled the smoke in a rather seductive manner. "Kinda like those poorly trained kids you were talking about. Would you like something to drink?" She said as she leaned forward to a cabinet, which presumably contained several sorts of beverages, most likely alcoholic beverages.

"Yes, actually, RC Cola if you have it. I keep thinking I should cut back, but I just can't resist something so spectacular! I guess you could say it's my 'weakness', hyuk hyuk hyuk..."

I looked at her seriously, easing up on my tendency to joke around.

"It must have been rough...How old were you when it happened?"

I reached down and squeezed her hand. Mourning a loved one was always bad, and I knew from recent experience that it was pretty crummy the other way around, to boot. I'd left them behind for a good reason, but that didn't mean it hurt any less.

"Oh, I was about 18 years old. Hey, could you perhaps let go of my hand? I need two hands to open this thing." Alice said while she pried her hand from Ghost's. She pressed two buttons located on the side of the cabinet and the top jumped open. The cabinet turned out to be a fridge too, since the RC cola can she handed Ghost was ice cold. "It's my last one, so enjoy." She said and poured herself a rather big glass of Jägermeister. She leaned back in the couch, took something that blurred the boundry between a sip and a gulp and smiled. She looked Ghost in the eyes, effectively ignored the red colour and said with a wink: "Cheers, honey."

I toasted and drank, returning the look, and enjoying the silence of the limo ride. Postively certain that this writer was too much of a hack to keep covering a limo ride, I mildly wondered how long it would take to get to her grandfather. If push came to shove I would initiate small talk, and fade to scene.................

Meanwhile, the other writer read the previous post and thought: "Fuck you, man." Nevertheless he approved of the idea. So after a full 35 minute ride, the lady and the luchadore arrived at a huge villa. The stoned driver parked it on the grass in stead of the gravel, but nobody gave a damn, because everybody knew that the driver was stoned. But that was no fun, so the writer included a palm tree that was driven into the front of the car. Still two people didn't give a damn. The Driver was stoned and Alice had drunk too much Jägermeister and was quite tipsy. She stumbled out of the car and stared at the car for a while before uttering a small, drunk giggle.

All that awkward fourth wall breaking aside, I found it a very pleasant car ride, including the collision with the tree and Alice stumbling around, hammered. I'd been laying off liquor for awhile now, as it didn't tend to help me as a fighter, or as a person, come to think of it. It took a lot of effort to train my body the way it was now, I didn't want to undo all that now. I slipped out and walked over toward the giggly scientist, wrapping an arm around her and doing my best Groucho impression, fake mustache, cigar(non-exploding variety) twirling in my fingers.

"Is it just me, or does intoxication really bring your your eyes this time of day? C'mon, girlie, let's find your grandpa...is your driver insured?"
