"Me?" he asked. "I needed a break" he replied with a shrug of his shoulders. "Gen and me, we decided to opt out of staying at the hotel. My place is further out the way. And besides, I plan on using that distance to my advantage" he added. He brought the cigarette up to his lips and took another drag. "Figured you lot would be all right down there without us. And I'm fairly certain we're not the only ones who have opted out of the hotel" he added, flicking ash on the floor.
"So who exactly were you trying to draw out anyway? I take it they're not with the hotel group then?" John asked, leaning back in the chair and getting more comfortable. Relaxing a little more.
