Choice is yours

Alec manages to stand up and starts brushing off the sand from his pants, now completely dry, despite having been in the water.

At Ryan's suggestion, his eyebrows rise a little and his mouth quirks as if he's holding back a comment. Grabbing his t-shirt he opts not to put it on yet, and carefully puts an arm around Ryan to walk toward the ice cream place. "I don't know," he mentions, almost under his breath. "I might wanna head for the lotion first..."

Still grinning, he plants a kiss atop Ryan's head. "But I'll settle for ice cream... for now."


Chance snickers and leans back with the television remote. "As if a word could scare me off. If that's the way most men are, then most have no backbone."

Taking another bite of his sandwich, he shakes his head. "Nope, don't have a clue what's on, but my guess is that the best thing will end up being a cheesy B movie. Not that I mind though."

Flipping channels, it seems nothing was on, and Chance falls silent for a short while, looking for something to watch while continuing with his sandwich. "Hey, I was thinking," he mentions, "Maybe when you're feeling up to it, we can take a day to the mall or something... you know, just... hang out for a day." He pauses, giving Destiny a sidelong glance. "You deserve a break."


Reese stops short as Trey spins around, bristling at his tone. Giving a quick glance to Angelica, he decides to answer himself, opting to simply go for the truth. He wasn't to sweet-talk or manipulate with persuasive words.

"Under the circumstances, we think it's best if you do stay under TJY's protection," he replies calmly. "And... I think you're smart enough to know that whether you're a Mexican citizen or not..." His tone lowers slightly. "...we don't tolerate those involved in drug rings here. Now, you have been sent here to be under our protection and we're going to do our job. But until we are sure of every side, you're going to have to remain at TJY or leave with an escort. It's that simple."

He turns and points back towards the airport gates. "Either that, or you can turn around and pay your own way back home just to have your head blown off once you get there. Choice is yours."
