The Caribbean Club, Key Largo, Florida, Saturday night

[whoisalicewhite]

The music was live and laid-back, the drinks were cold, and the bar food was good. Not as good as at Luke's or the Portland pub, but still pretty decent. Parker was tapping her foot to the music and nibbling on chips and salsa.

"Are you guys ready to go back yet?" To the boat or to Fandom, she wasn't specifying which.

[for the guys]

"You really askin' if I'm ready to go back to that cold weather?" Hardison asked, shivering theatrically. "Hell naw. I think we should move here forever an' live on the boat full-time."

He did not. Though the weather was much nicer here, where it was both warm and not full of random things.

Parker cuddled closer to him because of that shiver, and said, "We'd have to bring all the people to be here with us. And then the Island might get mad." Maybe that would be a bad idea? "...but we can come back this summer, right? And find doubloons?"

"...Now you got me wonderin' if we can't just steal the whole damn island an' haul it down here," Hardison said, thinking about that giant city of computers under the surface.

"An' hell yeah we can. Though we'll probably also have to go to Key Campground or whatever it's called. You know, the one Eliot wants to visit?"

"Maybe that would make it less deadly," Parker speculated. "Key Campground? Wait, I don't remember this."

"Feel like the island's gonna be deadly no matter where we park it," Hardison said, especially once he remembered that they'd have to haul along the creepy baby island as well. "An' one of the other Keys has, like, a campground or somethin' on it. It was the one Eliot wanted to go to. Probably so he can fulfill his dream of punchin' a shark an' a bear on the same trip."

...Which, okay, would be hot.
