Club Calypso Beautiful Valencia  The dancers name was Valencia and she danced with grace and style. She was stunning and her beauty lit up the dance floor. Every man in the club wished to hold her close, yet she had never found a man who could match her. She carried the stigma with her even when she danced. The sadness that she would never find a man to suit her, weighed upon her soul. She drew a crowd every night at the club, they came just to watch her dance, so her partners always felt they had a chance to romance the sweet Val.    The night the stranger had walked in was like any other until he entered and she caught his eye. He looked her up and down, impressed with what he saw, but he had a lot on his mind. He was a private detective hired to find a woman who had left her husband in Dallas, Texas. The last anyone had saw them was on a beach on the Mexican coast at a little village where the Club Claypso was a main attraction for nightly entertainment. The beach combers and latin lovers hung out in the bar and danced to the rhythmic beat. It was hot and heavy, seductive for the lovers and a balm for the lookers. He had heard they were known to frequent the place, so he stopped in for a look round when he was shot at the bar his first night in the village. He was only wounded and his shot had killed the tall form that now lie in his own blood in the doorway, everyone screaming going out the back way. The closest hospital was miles away, so the local doctor had treated the strangers wounds and sent him on his way, to the local village police station to be grilled about the killing.  The bartender and all the waiters and waitresses were done with their testimonies and he was the only one they hadn’t spoken to. He was grilled and they considered it self defense, but they confiscated his weapon until he could prove its legalities. He had shown them his passport and his gun permit, but it seemed only legal in the US. So that was a sticky point. They dismissed him as they really had no reason to hold him, though in Mexico they didn’t always need a reason, if they wanted you bad enough. He walked out of the station, lit a cigarette and noticed a car parked at the curb. His first reflex was to grab his gun, but of course now he didn’t have one. He saw sitting in the car the lovely Mexican senorita and recognized her as the dancer at the club. She rolled her window down and spoke to him in impeccable English. “Senor, would you care for a ride?�?Her voice was sultry as she was beautiful. He walked to the car and got in. to be continued...

Club Calypso Hot Sultry Night     Valencia moved over so the stranger could get in. He felt her leg against his and wondered what there was about her to make her so irresisitble. She smiled to give him a clue and she said; ‘where to, handsome?�?/P> He had checked in to the only hotel in town, so he smiled back ‘Your place?�?and laughed. She looked down at his feet and he thought to himself, is she really shy or just putting me on? She said; ‘So you got yourself into a little fix tonight.�? ‘Wouldn’t be the first time, he laughed, adding, ‘friendly place you’ve got here.�?She smiled and looked down. She was very beautiful but seemed to him to be so sad. He could relate, as sometimes life just doesn’t turn out the way you want it to. He looked out into the hot sultry night and felt like he was at a crossroads. A beautiful woman sitting next to him, a case that could get him killed. Ah the beauty of the unknown. They pulled up to the Hotel Grande and he got out of the car looking back wishing he could invite her up to his room for a drink. She looked at him knowingly and winked as if inviting herself, she followed him out onto the sidewalk and they stood looking into the night sky. He said ‘Beautiful night.�? She replied ‘Yes, it is very beautiful.�?/P> ‘What brings you to El Dorado, Senor ah...�?/P> ‘McKenna, Dave McKenna, and I’m just here for a little rest and relaxation.�? ‘This I do not believe Senor McKenna.�?/P> ‘I don’t believe I caught your name; he replied, and the whole mixup at the cantina was... only that Miss...�?/P> ‘Val, Valencia Esperanza.�?/P> ‘Well Val, please call me Dave, everyone else does. I gather your family owns the cantina.�?/P> ‘Yes Senor Dave and the hotel here; she smiled laughing, my father and brothers are very wealthy men, this is why I am pursued so furiously, I’m afraid. So you see it doesn’t really have a lot to do with beauty or love.�?/P> ‘Oh I beg to differ, because you are very beautiful.�?he mused. The hot sultry night became incredibly stuffy now that he wondered about her family and how they might interact with his case. He was looking for a woman who disappeared into Mexico, she was wife of a wealthy Texas business man out of Dallas. He and his brother still ran the business which they had inherited from their father, who was affectionately known as ‘Heavy�?by the local criminals he had hunted down after breaking bail. He was a hard ass as the brothers always said and the McKennas were not taken with kid glove treatment. They had been raised in a strict background but the old man taught them everything they knew about running this business. Dave had went into the private investigating after a short stint with the Dallas Police Department. Their office was now located in Austin, since Dallas had not been to their liking, what with the way it had grown. They now were seeing similiar growth in Austin and they didn’t like it. As Jimmy, Dave's brother, always said ‘what ya gonna do about it.�?/P> He had got into this ordeal when a John Watson had walked into their offices a week ago. He paid up front and he paid well. Jimmy said; ‘Want me to go down and take a look around Dave?�?/P> ‘Nah, I’ll take care of it.�?had been his dumb reply, never knowing that he was getting himself in deeper shit than he could imagine. Wasn’t the first time he was shot at, but this seemed to be awfully fishy seeing as how he’d been revealed to the gunman who must work for the man who ran off with Mrs. Watson. He had a bad feeling, now. He needed some sleep and he wanted to have a little conversation with old man Watson, plus he needed to do some serious thinking. ‘Miss Esperanza, I must take your leave, smiling he replied; would you care to have dinner with me tomorrow night?�?/P> ‘Please Senor Dave call me Val, and I would love to have dinner with you, but you must escort me to the Club later.�?/P> ‘Goodnight Senorita, Shall we meet at around 6 PM then?�?/P> ‘Yes Senor, I look forward to it.�?/P> He gets in the elevator and goes up to the third floor and puts his key in the door with the lady on his mind and suddenly he feels a blow to the head and everything turns to blackness... A hot sultry night indeed...

Club Calypso What a Headache!  When the stranger awoke he looked up into a face smiling down at him. The face looked awfully familiar, yet he could remember nothing. He had a splitting headache and his vision was foggy. He felt like he had been hit with a baseball bat. ‘Senor McKenna, are you alright?�?asked the big burly man with a bit of concern, but mostly amusement. ‘Oh I’m just fine, he mumbled, ‘if you don’t mind getting shot and knocked out all in the same day.�?He shook his head and saw stars.   He awoke later to find himself in his hotel bed and he felt like he’d been run over by a train. Heck of a welcome, today has got to be better, he thought.  He looked at the clock and it said three o’clock, pm I presume he thought laughing, ouch! He wondered who had helped him into his bed, only wishing it was the sweet senorita musingly. He remembered his dinner date this evening, but he had not done one thing as far as work, but get shot, kill a witness and been hit over the head. He wondered, why am I still breathing? Someone had helped him, he vaguely remembered his face looking down at him like a dream, then nothing. He wondered, why his sudden popularity?    He took a shower, shaved, brushed his teeth, put on a casual jacket, dress slacks and a light shirt, walked down to the bar and ordered a bourbon straight up, and a sandwich. He had a dinner date if he wasn’t mistaken. Suddenly a familiar burly man walked up asking; ‘Senor McKenna, are you feeling a little better this afternoon?�?I’m Miguel, Vals brother, ‘she had asked me to look out for you last evening or this morning, but I was a bit late. The man who hit you over the head got away, I’m sorry to say.�? He replied, ‘Well you probably saved my life nevertheless, so gracias Miguel and I’m very happy to have met you, your sister seems to be looking  out for me without knowing a thing about who I am. Curious I might add?�? ‘Well senor, my sister is a very helpful young lady who sometimes takes an interest in strangers, unfortunate as it might seem.�?Miguel had a mean look as he said that, and it gave Dave a bit of a funny feeling, but he had nothing on him or her family and so far he hadn’t a clue about any of the business he was hired for. He replied; ‘Well Miguel I’m at your service it seems and I really appreciate you and your sisters help. I only hope I can repay you in some way.�?/P> ‘Well Senor, if you wish to repay me you will not take my sister for granted, he said a bit menacingly, then added laughing, ‘or we could have to rethink our association.�?   He sat sipping his drink, and ordered a beer and ate his sandwich giving much thought to his occupation and the hazards within. He knew that the couple he was looking for had been seen in this vicinity, but the exact whereabouts was pure speculation. He may have to move up the coast, as he felt they would more than likely stick to the less traveled tourist traps, albeit less appealing, the beaches not as nice as Acapulco or one of the other more popular haunts. They had to have known that Mr. Watson would spare no expense to bring his wife back home to him, love him or not. He had made that very plain in his conversation with Dave. So now risk your life for a big paycheck or call the whole show off and let him hire someone else with more interest in money then living. This bothered him very much and he was contemplating that as he sipped his beer and ate his sandwich. He knew now they were very aware of him and his intentions, so this left him feeling very nervous. He thought and I could really just put my attention to this beautiful senorita. This idea was the best one he'd had for ages.

Club Calypso A Romantic Rendezvous   He looked about the bar and he noticed the clock on the wall just turned to five and so he went back to his room to freshen up a bit and walked out onto the balcony for a bit of air. He had always just dreamed of a life of leisure, sitting in the sun taking in a cool breeze, sipping a drink, with a beautiful woman at his side. He entertained those ideas and decided this was a plan if he could swing it somehow. This may just be his last job. He picked up the phone and called long distance to talk with his brother Jimmy. 'Jimmy, I've been shot, hit over the head and I don't have a clue as to the whereabouts of the individuals we were hired to find.' 'Dave, I told you to let me go down there,' he replied helpfully. 'It wouldn't have made a damn which one of us it was and you sure as hell would have been shot and hit over the head and who knows what all, cause that sonofabitch Watson has set us up.' He thought man, Jimmy could be dead cause he never was as quick with a gun as he was and besides the girl wouldn't have taken to him so then what, no protection. He hated to think where he'd be if her brother hadn't showed up. 'Jimmy forget that, you tell that sonofabitch that when I get my ass outta here I'm coming straight for him, unless he has answers right away, pronto. I'll call you tomorrow and see if you have talked to him or not. Let me know and wish me luck.' 'Ok Dave, but hell you never did need luck you always had it, always. Talk to you tomorrow and I'll find out what I can about the old man.'  Dave hung up and looked about for his other gun in his suitcase and sure enough it was still there, he loaded it and stuck in his shoulder holster, it fit nicely under his jacket. No problems at least he could shoot back, whether or not it made any difference was up to a higher power.  He called for a taxi and before he got off the phone there was a knock on the door of his hotel room and a voice outside that sounded an awful lot like his dinner date. He hung up the phone and opened the door, she walked in he was stunned, he nearly passed out right there, he got dizzy and felt hot. She asked ‘Senor Dave are you alright?�?He was speechless and tried to stand up to walk out for some air, she grabbed his arm and said ‘Stay right there Dave, I’ll get a cold cloth.�?He heard the water running in the bathroom and suddenly she appeared placing the cloth on his head he felt dizzy still but managed a smile. ‘I guess it’s the blow to the head Val,�?knowing full well what it was. She smiled and kissed the side of his face and said ‘We could order dinner in Dave.�? ‘Marvelous idea darling., he replied, ‘cause I m not feeling too good. Would you mind?�?He was really feeling awfully woozy. She was just too good to be true, he thought, so very beautiful and a sweetheart to boot. He suddenly felt like he had known her for years and he was in love so quickly, funny how that happens especially to a grown man. He’d had one little try at marriage but of course it didn’t work out, what with his line of work. He was never home and he met way too many women, beautiful women, enough to ruin any marriage. He heard another knock on the door and Val got up and let the bell boy in with a tray with champagne and two glasses. He opened the bottle and poured them each a glass. He reached to tip him and Val shook her head, smiled and said 'Thanks Jorge!'  They lie back on the bed and he took her in his arms, and smiled saying 'This sure beats going out.' She smiled and he leaned over to kiss her. He thought this is one gorgeous lady and he could be in love. …………………�?/P>

Club Calypso Slipped a Mickey  He awoke with a phone ringing in his head, he reached over to answer it realizing that Val had left him in the room sleeping. He answered and a familiar voice spoke to him, ‘Dave, where you been? I’ve been trying for two hours to reach you. Well anyways the old man he checked out clean and it seems the last P.I. he had hired had been killed and so you know I think I’d better come down there?�? He replied, ‘No Jimmy, you stay put and tail that old man just send Tiger down, he’ll watch my back and help me out of any jams I may get into, it seems I’ve got some guardian angels down here, but I’m not sure why? It’s very peculiar and I’m getting a bit nervous, I’m feeling very groggy right now, I got hit in the head last night and slept most of the day. I was supposed to have a dinner date who left me hanging, I feel like someone slipped me a Mickey. But don’t worry I’m a ok! Let me know when Tiger’s coming in and I’ll pick him up personal like. This damn phone might be bugged, so I’ll call you at home from a pay phone. Bye!�?He hung the phone up before Jimmy could say shit, so he thought better this way he doesn’t need to think I’m worried. even though he was.  He changed and splashed on some cologne, opened the door and looked out into the hall and lo and behold another brother he surmised watching over him. This one was a bit smaller and much friendlier looking. ‘Senor�?Dave, he exclaimed, ‘I’ve been waiting on you, I’ll bet you need a ride to the club. Val said you’d come around after a short nap. It turned into a long one though, it’s rather late, but of course the club is open until two in the morning. Val will be waiting. Oh my name is Tom, eh Tomas, he smiled and winked, I was raised in the states Senor�?Dave. My father is looking forward to meeting the famous private eye. You may be interested to know you’re well known in town now. This is a small resort.�?/P> ‘Yes Tom, I’ve gathered as much but I haven’t had much time to see anything, what with the warm welcome I’ve received. It seems I was slipped a little something to make me sleep this evening. Your sister has really taken a liking to me it seems. He laughed and replied, ‘Yes Senor�?Dave she wanted to make sure you got your rest she felt you weren’t up to the evenings events without some. She does have an obligation to the club according to our father. So, she made sure you wouldn’t be too tired for some dancing and drinking.�?/P> ‘Well Tom, that’s very nice of her to think of me, he replied sarcastically, she is beautiful though and quite charming. I do have some business to take care of the next few days and I’ve had my share of interruptions. So it’s off to the club, shall we?�?/P> ‘Si Dave! My car is right out front.�?/P>  They arrived at the club and he had made sure his gun was loaded and in it’s holster before they left, just in case good old Tom or Mike got any ideas. They sat at a table close to the door and he made sure to turn his chair and face it. He took a long look about for something or someone suspicious. Hell they all looked suspicious. He moved his foot to the beat of the music and heard the rhythm of Latin passion. He found her among the dancers with a wealthy looking older gentleman and he thought so this is what her job is, to soften up the clientele a bit. She was so very beautiful but she could be sucking him into something he wanted no part of. Suddenly a face appeared out of the crowd she looked awfully familiar, but he wasn’t close enough to I D her. A man grabbed her arm and walked over to he and Tom. He spoke eloquently to him, ‘Senor�?McKenna, You’ve met my sons and my daughter I would like to introduce myself to you, my name is Francisco Esperanza and this is my finance�?�? ………………………�?.

Club Calypso Dave meets Dad ‘This is my fiancée�?Olivia Martinez. She and I met in the states. So Senor�?McKenna you have, I understand, an agenda for being here in El Dorado?�?So it wasn’t her, but it did look a bit like her, well that would have been way too easy anyway. He didn’t like Val’s father much, he carried an air about him and damn was he nosey. ‘Sir I don’t quite follow you, he replied agitated; ‘and I don’t generally advertise my line of work. If you will please allow me, I will be quite honest with you. I have some personal business that doesn’t involve anyone here or in your family or at least I hope it doesn’t. I’m quite happy to have met your family as you’ve all been very kind to me and I hope we can remain on friendly terms.�?/P> Mr. Esperanza replied tersely; ‘Of course Senor�?McKenna, I fully understand, I was only making conversation and I must say we don’t usually have any problems here that require a private detective. Our police and our Chief make good solid citizens out of all our inhabitants including the tourists and our guests.�?/P>  Suddenly Val appeared and he noticed the music had stopped. She smiled and sat down and said; ‘So Dave I see you’ve met my father and his fiancée�?Olivia. My father always gets right to the point and he’s always been like that. It’s probably part of the reason his business has been such a success.�? ‘Thank you dear, Senor McKenna and I were just exchanging pleasantries,�?replied Senor�?Esperanza.  Dave suddenly had a large number of ideas run through his mind and he thought he’d better get Tiger down there as soon as possible. He could see that things might not remain so friendly. He really took offense to Mr. Esperanza’s line of questioning and his terse attitude towards the McKenna’s business there at the resort. He felt there was some reason, perhaps the Senor�?had some knowledge of Mrs. Watson’s whereabouts, and how the hell did everyone know he was a private investigator when he had only just appeared in town. They had a idea somehow or knew of his business there. How could that be? He wondered to himself if they hadn’t been tipped off, but the only ones who knew were Jimmy, Tiger and the old man Watson and himself. They had to have been expecting a visitor in town and he guessed he fit the bill. He thought the man who tried to kill me, he conveniently had disappeared and nobody had ever said another word to him of it. Was this something to be thankful for perhaps he didn’t really want to meet up with this Chief of Police. He was unsure of everything now and there sat Val by his side and she didn’t know a damn thing about him, did she? He wasn’t sure about that either, so his head was in a spin and nothing but a blur of ideas flashed before his eyes, none of them good. Suddenly the music starts back again, a samba or a rumba he guessed, not knowing because it all sort of sounded alike to him. Val whispered into his ear and so he got up to dance with her. She moved so gracefully, almost like a cat ready to pounce. She was way too much for his senses at this point. He tried to get into the movement and found himself lost, in a trance. He was way over his head, with the music and this beautiful woman.

Club Calypso The Chief of Police ‘Val could I ask you a question? he whispered in her ear; ‘I’m at a loss here as to what interest you and your family have with me?�?‘Well Dave, I have taken a personal interest in you, my family watches out for me perhaps too much.�?She smiled and arched her back and he grabbed her around the waist and held her like a doll. She was giving him the fever and he knew it. ‘Val, I’m a little light headed and I feel like this is moving rather quickly. I wish we could have a talk you and I. Would you mind a walk in the night air?�? ‘Not at all Dave, she smiled and kissed him on the forehead, ‘I do hope your headache is gone.�?/P>  They walked out the side entrance which led to a balcony overlooking the ocean. The salt spray was in their faces and the smell was strong of the night and the sea. He slipped his hand around her waist and she leaned into him then. She was smiling looking into his eyes, ‘So Dave, what is it you are concerned about?�? ‘Well for one thing love, I’ve got a bit of a dilemma. I’m wondering why in the world you and your family are helping out a total stranger and why you seem so interested in me?�?He thought yeah I could love this beauty. ‘Dave, there is something I haven’t told you, we have knowledge of your business here through the authorities who are aware of your background. They don’t like Americans poking around what they consider police business or business of the Mexican populace.�?She kissed him passionately on the lips and he returned it with a bit of trepidation. She said; ‘Dave I personally saw something in you the very first time I looked at you. I felt drawn to you like someone I’d known all my life. Is that such a bad thing? I’m a very lonely woman here in this resort and my father is a very controlling figure as you have probably already noticed.�?BR>‘Yes Val, I read people because it‘s my job to do so.�?He said being quite discreet. ‘I have the feeling though that somehow your family knows something of the case I’m on and thus they’re helping me to help themselves. Does this make any sense to you?�?He just felt so terrible about thinking of her mixed up in the whole seamy affair, made his feelings towards her feel grimy. ‘Listen I need to make a phone call if you don’t mind? I’ll meet you back inside alright. Thanks for the talk and being honest with me and just for the record, I too felt something for you.�?She kissed him and turned around to go back inside turned and said, ‘Dave please don’t think the worst of us.�?He nodded. He had noticed a pay phone outside the building and felt he needed to talk to Jimmy and get Tiger down there. Tiger was their muscle and he would help Dave out of anything, going as far as to risk his life. His old man had helped him out years back and gave him a job and a place to stay while he got on his feet. So Tiger had a huge amount of respect for the McKenna’s and would do anything they had asked him to. He heard the click of the phone and his brothers voice ‘Hello Jimmy McKenna speaking.�?‘Jimmy get Tigers butt down here pronto, cause I think the shit’s gonna hit the fan. OK! Did you find anything else about that Watson character?�? ‘Not a thing Dave, I’m sorry to say but I’ve still got a tail on him and so we know his every move. I’ll send down Tiger as soon as he can get a flight.�?BR>‘Jimmy listen up, I’m staying at the Hotel Royal and if he can’t find me, my room is 104. Tell him if I’m not there to check with the US consul and then head down for the hoosegow. Cause I have a funny feeling the Chief is going to have a little visit with me. Ok! Talk soon and don’t trust that damn line at the hotel, it’s more than likely bugged.�?/P>  Dave went back inside and sitting at the table with Val and her father and brother was a heavy set man who looked an awful lot like police. His guess, the Chief of Police was there to pay him a visit�? ……………………………�?/P>

Club Calypso Questions & An Answer When Dave got back to the table, Val’s father got up and introduced him to the heavy set man sitting at the table with them as Chief of Police Garcia. The Chief then informed Dave that he would be held over night in the jail for questioning in the death of a certain Juan Morales�?. Dave informed the Chief that he had already answered all their questions and he was merely acting in self defense. ‘Doesn’t matter Senor�?McKenna there’s been new evidence linked to this case,�?he replied, ‘and he would cooperate or be held for resisting arrest.�? ‘What am I being arrested for?�?/P> ‘You are being held for the murder of Juan Morales�?he smirked. He knew good and well this was a shut and close case and if there were to be any charges he should have the right to an attorney but guess what this was Mexico. ‘This isn’t the United States Senor�?McKenna.�?‘Yes I’m well aware of that.�?But I have fully cooperated in this investigation and if any of the witnesses are to be believed you’d know that I was shooting back in self defense after being shot at.�? ‘I’m very sorry Senor�? but some new evidence has arisen.�?/P> Davy could see that Mr. Esperanza was highly amused and he thought, he’s the one behind this just to give me a little muscle and I will see things his way. Well the only thing he could hope for was Tiger got his butt down here and talked to the US consol. He knew that any other way they would hold him for trial which down here could be a long time and not something to take lightly. He noticed Val crying and whispering in her fathers ear, but he kept shaking his head back and forth and throwing his hands in the air. So Dave knew that he wouldn’t be getting any help from them. Not another one of those nights he thought, God what have I gotten myself into here, he thought. He was searched and they found his other gun and he was handcuffed and taken from the club into the night. It was again a hot and sultry evening and he could smell the salt in the sea. He wondered if he would ever see the beach again and if he would see his brother, he had a bad feeling. The heavy set man who called himself Chief of Police looked an awful malevolent to Dave and he wondered when the torture would start, but he was sure that Tiger would get his butt out of there. He was roughly thrown into a holding area with a group of Mexican prisoners who looked at him menacingly and he wondered who he’d have to fight. Probably all of them he thought. Oh well I’m screwed either way at the mercy of the prisoners or the police come morning. For now the big thing was just to stay awake and watch his back. He did know how to defend himself in hand to hand and he also could fight more than one if it was necessary. But there were at least twelve or thirteen of them, some drunk and some that seemed to have a purpose. He wasn’t sure if he was their purpose or not. He felt like such a fool and he thought about the girl and the look on her face when he was taken away was one of fright and care for him. He thought well I meet a girl, she’s beautiful and I could fall in love if I already haven’t and then I’m killed. He almost laughed out loud at the absurdity of it. Out of the blue the jailer appeared and he was whisked roughly into another holding area looking very much like where he had been admitted, finger printed and answered some questions. So perhaps they were moving him into another area, he just wasn’t sure of anything except there must be an answer here...  ..................................

Love of An Angel 

Suddenly the beautiful Val appeared and they released him to her. He knew now she was truly an angel and she was so very special, he had definately fallen for her. He grabbed her hand and reached out to her and she smiled and said, ‘Come on Davy and let’s go get some rest, it seems you’re always into something.�?She laughed and shook her head, her long dark hair fell upon her face and he just loved her even more. He put his arm around her, they walked out to the car and she said ‘Oh Davy, I’m so sorry my father is such a cruel man, but we will try and talk reason to him. I wish you would allow me to comfort and soothe you after your ordeal, I was so worried. I could not leave you there for a minute. You and I shall run off together if we must.�?nbsp; ‘Fine by me you sweet beauty, you are my angel.�?Dave smiled and kissed her upon the lips, they crawled into the car together and she told the driver ‘You know where to take us.�?Dave thought oh God she is serious and hell I can’t resist her.
They suddenly were traveling on a country road of dust and they had went a long ways when they came upon a small house with palm trees all about it and it felt good to him. He knew she would stand by him no matter what, but of course he had to get a hold of Tiger tomorrow and let him know their plan of attack, until then he was at the mercy of this beautiful lady who for obvious reasons appealed to him much more than the Chief of Police, he had to laugh. He just couldn’t look at her without a sense of longing overcoming him. She held him close as they walked to the door of the house, he took in a deep breath and she switched on a light and it was very comfortable inside. He could see this was more than likely her place of sanctuary and she led him into her bedroom, it smelled of her. He just breathed her in and she was the sweetest air he ever inhaled. He held her tightly, they kissed passionately and he wanted it to last forever
The sun was rising over the mountains to the east and it was getting light outside, he could smell the sea breeze and see a long sandy beach stretch towards the ocean and in both directions there was not a soul to be seen. He had longed just to rest upon the shore and listen to the waves roll in and that was exactly what he was going to do today. He had to relieve his mind and he needed to think. He wondered if Jimmy had been trying to get a hold of him and he also wondered when Tiger would arrive. Well everything in good time he thought. He noticed she had slipped into a bathing suit and it was well revealing would be an understatement. What a beauty she was, he asked her if she had any idea about his baggage and yes she said I have brought it here. So he walked into the bathroom and slipped off his clothing. He took a long shower and changed into his bathing suit. He walked out into the cool sea shore and there lie Val upon a blanket looking every bit as voluptuous as he thought she would. He lie down beside her and kissed her on the mouth. She returned his kiss and said ‘Dave, you just relax and forget the world here. This is my private beach house and I come here to escape my father, my brothers, the world at large. I wanted to share this with you!�?He started to ask her if she had reasons to believe he would be terrorized at the police station and what her father had against him. She put her hand to his lips and said, ‘No questions now or here Dave. We will discuss this all later after we have your head straightened out. He thought yeah my head needs some straightening  as in straight talk, but he couldn’t resist her as she put her lips upon his. She was so warm and beautiful, he felt as if he were in a dream. He kissed her deeply and lie back looking into the sea. It felt so overwhelming and he could really think of nowhere he had rather be. Shortly he fell asleep and for how long he didn’t know but the sun was high in the sky now and he looked about trying to get his bearings. Val wasn’t on the beach now with him and damn if the car wasn’t gone too. He went inside and there on the table lay a note, it read; Dave, I had to go into town for a few things I shall return there are some sandwiches in the fridge and plenty of fruit on the table here. Please help yourself. There is also a bar on the other side of the living area there, fully stocked so please help yourself. You will be safe here and I hope you will relax and make yourself comfortable. Dave looked about for a telephone and never could find one.
