A First Step

[Jose Benitez]

Amongst the first people to disembark was someone that Jose recognised from his intelligence files as Alexander. Alexander stepped forward and inquired with a goodly degree of enthusiasm as to the location of the bar and dancing girls.

'€œErr'€¦. Well I was not aware that you had been particularly interested in dancing girls and bars Senor as I was lead to believe that there were other things on our agenda'€, he replied. '€œPerhaps we can arrange for some of my men to take you to Crete for a weekend or something once our business has been concluded?'€

Jose noticed with some amusement as Alexander was hissed at by one of the other members of the delegation, and appeared to become a little calmer.

'€œI hope that your journey was without incident?'€ Jose asked. '€œIf you'€™d just like to follow me then I will be pleased to take you to the rooms that have been set aside for our meeting'€.
