Jenna had a serious look on her face as Colby popped open a bottle of vodka, pouring a generous glass for each of the four of them.
Adler was the first to grab his glass, raising it high. “No need for words, let's drink!”
“To drinking!” they echoed.
Jenna, a true champ when it came to alcohol, downed her vodka in one go. Sophie, not usually one for vodka, managed to finish her glass as well. Colby was the last to drink, doing so with a clean swiftness.
The four sat around the table, eyeing the array of dishes before them.
Jenna couldn’t help but click her tongue. “Can you believe the old man still loves eating this unhealthy stuff at his age?”
Adler chimed in, “Right? I haven’t touched this kind of food since high school!”
Jenna added, “Is it because he doesn’t like lobster or steak? No! It’s because he can’t chew them!”
The group burst into laughter.
“Let’s toast to the old man!” Adler raised his glass again.
Tonight, it seemed like everyone had so much to say, things they had kept bottled up now flowing freely.
Adler patted Colby on the shoulder, asking, “Honestly, Colby, how did you ever put up with the old man’s temper? He was so harsh to anyone who wasn’t his grandkid. Surely he was even harsher on you!”
Jenna complained, “Exactly! He’d make me stand at attention for hours or do two hundred leg kicks if I messed up a drill!”
“I didn’t have to,” Colby said evenly.
This left Adler and Jenna feeling a bit miffed.
“Why?!” they both asked.
Colby simply replied, “Because I was smarter than you two.”

Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner.
