"Wake up guys... It's time to go!" Chris said to everyone who was asleep.
"Ugh! So this isn't a dream after all!" Jacqueline said to herself as she lifted her back off the grass.
"Good morning girls. Trust you had a good night's sleep aye?" Marley joked.
"Oh yes! It was the best ever... NOT!!!" Kim cupped her face with her hands.
"I understand. Hopefully we'd get out of this terrible situation today." Marley smiled reassuringly.
Kim found herself lost in Marley's eyes. For some reason she felt safe knowing he was by her side.
"I don't think you guys are planning to leave here today!" Chris yelled directing his sarcastic facial expression towards Jacqueline and Kim who were still seated on the grass.
"What is up with your friend? Always on edge!" Jacqueline asked Marley wearing a disgusted look.
"That's Chris for you." Marley chuckled. "Come on let's get going." He replied as he gave both of his hands to help the girls up.
They walked for a long time following the railroad closely. They eventually got to a part of the forest where the trees bore a lot of fruits.
"Mommy fruits! A little boy said to his mom. "Can we get some please? I'm hungry."
"Sure my love!" His mom replied as she and her husband began gathering some fruits.
"I wouldn't mind getting some as well. I'm starving." Kim said as she helped herself to the ones she could reach.
Everyone else joined in plucking the fruits off the trees after which they sat down on the grass and ate them.
"We're supposed to be enjoying ourselves in Miami by now." Kim said as she bit a huge chunk of the fresh fruit she was holding.
"Tell me about it! Tatyana's going to freak out when she hears about this." Jacqueline sighed.
"Who's Tatyana?" Marley asked without taking his eyes off his fruit.
"Our boss." Jacqueline replied.
"What do you girls do for a living?" Chris asked casually.
"We're dancers!" Kim replied.
"Interesting! What kind?" Chris asked again.
"Exotic!" Jacqueline replied.
"By exotic you mean strippers?" Chris asked.
"Yep!" Jacqueline shot back without looking at him. Though she hadn't said much to him since they met, she had a feeling he was the type of person to get impertinent with people.
"Hm!" Chris turned his nose up. "Could have sworn you had a more prestigious occupation but I guess it's okay if it works for you." Chris replied nonchalantly.
