It was hard for Jack to resent the Colonel for the meeting they'd just
had, but a
part of him did and to be honest he didn't appreciate it. The Marine
training in
him however told him to take it on the chin and carry on, after all that
was nothing
compared to anything, just a light and polite warning.
Pacing the deck he scratched his face slightly and sipped the coffee
that the replicator
had created for him. Ahh the computer, it had long been a musing of his
to find out
who the sultry voice of the computer was, perhaps it was some creators
voice,
or maybe even his wife.
"Captain, is there something I can do for you?" came an inquisitive
chefs voice
from the galley just infront of Jack.
"Got any scotch?" He looked questionably at the guy.
"Is that a trick question? you know the Colonel has a prohibition law in
place."
"Right..." Jack pondered again. "But...it wouldn't be in place on the
station now
would it?" He let a sly grin creep across his face.
"But...Captain!!" the Chef called out but it was too late, Jack had
already set
sail for alcohol and there wasn't anything that was going to purge the
thoughts
from him mind except the brown liquid he sometimes desires.
After having avoided conversation with many people on his way over to
the
station Jack found pretty much the only bar left that would serve him on
this station and took a seat.
"Whisky, Neat. Leave the bottle." He dropped a few slips of latinum on
the
counter, a few slips more than was necessary mind.
"Thank you sir" the girl behind the counter grinned.
Tasting the whisky Jack winced slightly, it had been a while since he'd
tasted
it. Rubbing his face quickly he bit the bullet and took another sip, he
winced
again. Swallowing hard he downed the glass quickly and sighed quietly to
himself as he refilled the glass himself.
Eleven Glasses later and Jack had found himself talking to a pretty
girl,
who apparently loved a man in uniform, particularly a green collared
one.
"So then it turned out it was the fair ground owner!!" Jacks roaring
laughter
filled the tiny bar and a few of the regulars glanced up from their
sorrowful
moanings into the bottom of their pints.
"Oh Jack, where have you been hiding?" Carla ran her fingers through her
blonde hair before throwing it gently over her shoulders as she leant
into
place a subtle kiss on Jacks lips.
"Quantico?" He pulled back and took another sip of whisky. "And that's
another thing you know, that place can ruin a man. I've seen it!" he
trailed
off slightly before picking up again. "Things that would shock you to
the
core" he downed the glass again and almost immediately his vision
became slightly hazy.
"Riiight" she smirked at him. "Enjoying that aren't you" she pointed to
the
now half empty bottle.
"I'm Enjoying you" he leant forward rather lasciviously and grabbed her
hips kissing her in a way that only a drunk arrogant man can. "Lets
take
this bottle and go back to your quarters" Jack stood grabbing the bottle
almost automatically.
"Okay" she pouted emphasising the red lipstick she was wearing and stood
from the stool, her red dress instantly flowing just above her knees as
she
did so.
Next morning Jack awoke in unfamiliar surroundings, covered in only a
sheet
and the body of the girl who presumably lived here. "Morning Jacky" she
smiled hugging him tightly.
"What's your name?" Jack rubbed the sleep from his eyes and moved his
arm around her.
"Oh You!" she hugged him tighter. "You're such a joker!"
A second later a tall brunette emerged from the bathroom wearing only
Jacks green undershirt and a flower in her hair. "Gonna pretend you
don't remember me aswell?" she slipped into the bed next to Jack
and put his arm around her too.
Nice.
Looking about the room pretty pleased with himself Jack leant left into
the brunette and caught a whiff of the flower in her hair. The smell was
outrageously addictive and sent his heart racing. Leaning back on the
bed further he looked at the ceiling eyes glazed over.
