This turns out to be a mistake as Jillie, their waitress, executes a perfect slow-motion projectile simultaneous multiple "serve". At this point ready for nothing more than a quiet evening of rest, Snake asks to be taken home. Once there, she is nabbed by her brother, who drags her and Rapol off to a formal dinner with Richard Hardwick-Greeves. Sky gets a little bit too relaxed while Snake and Rapol fail to relax at all.
