Matt and Pedro stood outside a small shop full of tourists; Jamie had gone in a few moments before to get directions. Matt leant against the wall, enjoying the shade from the summer heat when he noticed something strange. A small boy ran past him and bumped into Pedro, as he did he took the book Pedro was reading.

“OI! YOU STOLE MY SPANISH-ENGLISH DICTIONARY!”

“Dude,” Matt stepped out of the shadows, “you can’t read.”

“Yeah,” Jamie came out of the shop. “And you don’t speak English.”

Pedro: does the shifty eyes and shuffles away.

“Where’re you going?” Matt asked in a bored voice while flicking through channels.

“On a date.” Matt whipped round to look at Richard who was buttoning up his shirt.

“You…a date?” Matt whispered unbelievingly.

“Yeah, yeah. Is a tie too much?” Richard held up two equally hideous ties and Matt nodded, unable to speak.

“But, with who?” Matt was still finding it hard to believe.

“A business woman.” Richard said hurriedly.

“Oh, I see,” Matt turned back and continue to flick through the channels. “A prostitute.”
