Someone was poking Alex awake.
'What?' she asked blearily. 'Have they finished bombing or are we dead?'
'They've finished bombing,' Henry said. Alex opened her eyes and yawned.
'You ok? You're the only person who was able to sleep through that,' Klinger said.
'How long was I asleep?' Alex asked.
'Oh, I dunno, eight, maybe nine hours,' Trapper said. The bombing had indeed stopped, and Frank and Margaret had gone already.
'So, did Frank wake up or is he in a coma, or what?' Alex asked.
'He woke up, about an hour before. Couldn't remember a thing. Wondered why he was in here,' Hawkeye said.
'Did he remember the building falling on him?' Alex asked curiously.
'Nope,' Klinger replied.
'Come on, we need a drink,' Trapper said. He helped Alex up, and Hawkeye and Trapper led Alex to the Swamp.
'Did it survive the bombing?' Alex asked.
'A few things seemed to have come loose, but we can tighten them and be drinking martini's in five minutes,' Hawkeye replied, checking the Still over.
'We see Klinger is talking to you again,' Trapper said, sitting on his cot.
'What? Oh, yeah, He listened to me when I tried to explain it this time,' Alex replied. 'So, what exciting things happened while I was sleeping?' she asked.
'Let's see, bombs were dropped, Five o'clock Charlie even came past. Not a lot, actually,' Hawkeye said, tweaking something on the Still. 'I think that'll do it.' He flicked on of the pipes to get it working, but nothing happened.
'Hell, let's just go to Henry's liqueur cabinet,' Trapper said, standing up again. Alex stood up as well.
'Good idea. I'll join you guys there in a few minutes,' she said. 'Don't start without me.' With that, she left the Swamp and headed towards the nurse's tent.
'Come on,' Hawkeye said and the two doctors started heading towards Henry's office. Henry was there, and he sighed when he saw Hawkeye and Trapper.
'Let me guess, the Still in on the blink,' he said, pulling out a couple of glasses.
'Right first time Henry,' Hawkeye said.
'Get one out for Alex as well, she's coming too,' Trapper said. Henry was just unlocking the cabinet when Alex came in. She was holding a bottle of wine, bought in Tokyo.
'I was afraid the bombs might have shattered it,' she said, taking the top off and pouring a little into each of the glasses. 'I've been waiting for a good time to use it. I thought now was as good a time as any.' They lifted their glasses in a silent toast, and drank.
'Good stuff,' Hawkeye commented.
'Not nearly as good as the Still,' Alex replied. After they had finished off about a third of the bottle, Alex put the cork back into the top.
There are a few other people I'd like to share it with,' she explained before leaving Henry's office.
'Hey, Hawk,' Trapper said from his chair, moving his glass in his hand. 'Did we ever find out what Frank was comforting Alex about?' Hawkeye thought for a minute.
'No, we didn't,' he said eventually. Henry gave them both a quizzical look.
'Klinger caught Alex and Frank in the supply room. Alex says Frank was comforting her about something,' Trapper explained to the Colonel.
'Oh. And she hasn't told anyone what it was about? Well, that does seem a bit fishy,' Henry said. Hawkeye and Trapper looked at each other.
'It does, actually,' Hawkeye said.
'What?' she asked blearily. 'Have they finished bombing or are we dead?'
'They've finished bombing,' Henry said. Alex opened her eyes and yawned.
