Eve left Isaac to heft the milkcrate through the door himself. He had brought it over, afterall. Shuffling to the kitchen, it was well past time for a serious drink. A dose of Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper mix would help her this morning.

Isaac, having deposited the crate, watched her. “Rough morning?” He grinned. “I have never understood why you don’t just drink coffee.” Eve sighed as she made sure the the glass was full of bitesized ice before she began pouring.

“Want one?” She asked out of politeness. He shrugged, “Nah, I had coffee before I left the house. Anyway, brought you a few files. I think you should check them out.” Eve handed him the ashtray he was looking for, one of those that pull the smoke into them.

“Thanks,” he said sheepishly and pulled out his pack. “What’s in them?” She asked curiously, already chewing on the ice, which her dentist warned her about everytime she visited.

“Just look. I think there’s code in the lyrics.” The look on Eve’s face said more than words ever could.

    I used to like Eve, and then she had to ruin it by drinking Mountain Dew. =P
    Have you ever seen “Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle?” Well, there’s a group of guys in that movie who are basically H&K’s nemeses. These guys are very, um, extreme. Any time I think of someone “doing the Dew,” I automatically picture those douches. I also think of the Simpsons episode where Homer is offered the choice between The Dew and crab juice. He responds, “ewww, I’ll take the crab juice.” Very wise Homer. Very wise.

    I like that last bit about there being code in the lyrics. Intriguing.
