Theo lookes back through the rear window of the Speeder. She does look marvelous, he thinks again and grinnes. Sometimes he can't stop wondering that he ended up commanding such a beauty like the Reverie. He sighes and turnes around while he is being carried away by the taxi from the mooring docks of Curacao Main Port. His destination is Vice City, just as Caitlyn has suggested.
It has been way to long for shoreleave for his crew as well as him. And since the last destination of the Reverie had been Cortez, he simply ordered a longer stop, mucht to everybodys surprise and pleasure. While the ship is being groomed up by the cleaning crew of the Port, everybody spreads out for some r&r.
Theobald Franklin just leanes back to enjoy the setting sun, when the driver announces their arrival. Stepping out he turnes around. So, Vice City. What did Cait say? A red door somewhere at the port? He startes looking around, but with a demanor as if he knows exactly where he is going. It takes him much longer to find the red door, snuck up in a shady corner of a dark alley. The light bar above the door flickeres. The whole scenery might be out of a bad movie. Theo walks up to the door and knocks. Only seconds later the door creakes open and a Big Guy sneeres down on him. Theo being not a short man either feels a little bit intimitated but only for a second. The Big Guy waits expectantly.
Theo swallows and says with a firm voice: "Long live Dionysus!" The Big Guy grunts, nods and steps aside, opening the door fully. Theo steps inside and behid him the Big Guy clanks the door shut. He points without another word to the stairs leading downward. Theo steps down and gradually the light becomes brighter and warmer, giving way to a very comfortable and cosy bar, decorated partially with OS&C branding. The sharp smell of cigars and alcohol mixes with aromatic food, making it meorable and pleasing.
Theo looks around and sees three familiar persons, their voices familiar to him.
"Whatever you drink, I take the same as you," he says loud and clear for them to notice, as he suddenly arrives at their table, stopping behind one of the free chairs.
