Jose walked along the corridor. Usually he hated these formal occasions but this one he hoped would be a bit different from the more usual official dinners.
Looking at the invite he was holding he smiled. He suspected that there was a reasonable chance that he’d only received the invite because one of the Elders was away somewhere.
Never mind, a free dinner was a free dinner, and if Ronnie was trying to impress the visitor then there was a reasonable chance he’d of got some of that excellent Rum out of the store.
Arriving at the entrance to the dining room Jose took a deep breath and entered. Looking around the room Jose was pleased to see that there was indeed a bottle of the good stuff available. It looked like this was going to be a good evening.
“Good evening Commandante, Elder Trueno and a good evening to you Senor Brisbane”
Nodding toward Brisbane, Jose moved around the table toward his seat.
“I trust your journey here Senor Brisbane was without incident?”
Sitting at the table Jose caught a very slight smell of what he hoped would turn out to be dinner. If it was what he thought it was, then the Commandante really was pushing the boat out and making this a special evening. Senor Brisbane was clearly a man in which the Benitez should take a keen interest.
