The refrigerator was empty, a common occurrence in the apartment. Alex groaned slightly, knowing that he would be the one sent to the store. As he walked toward Bria's room, he found the door wide open and Agent Thompson straightening a few books on one of her many shelves.
"Bria, what are you doing?" Krycek asked, leaning against the doorframe.
She smiled, "We're having company for dinner tonight, Alex. And be nice, he's one of my good friends."
"Boyfriend you mean... Is he from the Bureau?"
With a nod, Bria turned to him, "I need you to run to the store and pick up a few things." she handed him a long hand written list.
Alex sighed, taking it from her, "Alright, if you don't mind me running a couple other errands along the way?"
The women smiled, "Sure Alex, as long as you get back here before six thirty, or else dinner will be late."
"Alright then." he left the room and grabbed his jacket.
Slipping the leather coat over his bright blue sweater, Bria followed him.
"I also need you to pick out a nice red wine for after dinner."
"Sure, I'll try my best."
Bria laughed at his sarcasm, as did Alex himself. He pulled a pair of black gloves over his hands and walked to the front door.
"Da Svidanya." he directed toward Bria who was making her way into the kitchen.
She laughed once more, "Bye Alex, be careful."
With a mischievous smirk on his face, Alex left.
