Napoleon Solo hated getting wet. He loved to sail, to be ON the water, but IN was an entirely different kettle of fish. A kettle of fish, and sea water was exactly what he had been dumped into by the now deceased THRUSH henchman. Napoleon sat and fumed over the state of his new suit, as the mephitic fumes surrounded him. Waverly would never approve another suit on his expense reports for this month. Kuryakin would smirk and make some biting comment about his sartorial state. Napoleon was not at all happy.
