The water is warm around his ankles, as he looks into the setting sun.

'Not all that different from Miami." He thinks to himself, turning to the woman standing beside him. She smiles gently at him and it looks odd on her face, like she is more accustomed to flirting with him, or threatening him. He nods to her and she walks away, her hips swaying and the thin skirt she is wearing blowing in the wind.

As soon as he hears her car drive away, he looks to his right and then to his left, as if expecting someone.

Or more than two someones, as the case may be.

The headphones are pushing onto his ears, and he finds it very uncomfortable, but it is nessassary if you want to talk in a helicopter. Not that he wanted to talk. Annoyed and restless, he yanks the offending object off his head. The younger man next to him looks surprised. As if he is not used to this mans directionless unsettlement.

The chopper lowers suddenly, and the young man gets off with a nod from the other man. Then the flight continues, until they are right over a long, white sand beach, with a single man standing on it.

The man does not look up at the sound of the helicopter, he just stands back and watches. The two men nod to each other and the chopper flies away without hesitation.

The two men standing facing each other, then turn away abruptly, quickly scanning the vague edges of the horizen.

As if they are looking for someone.

He snaps his phone shut, and rubs his ankle absently, like it is a long accostomed habit. Or like he is missing something that is usually there. Either way he catches himself and forces his body to relax in the standard issue government Ford.

Looking out of the corner of his eye, he nods to the older man driving. This man looks nervous, and he runs his hand through his short dark hair. But still the driver pulls over.

The man gets out, and smiles cheekily, but his lips turn down. He nods to the driver who speeds off.

He walks down the beach, careful not to get the sand in his pricey, Italian leather shoes. He stops at the two men who are already standing there. Then he steps forward and the meeting begins.
