first chance.

[Adam's on the most breathtaking beach you've ever seen. White sand, cool breeze, crystal clear ocean. He gives a contented sigh and all but drowns in his mojito. It's about high time he had a chance to relax. He would be more than fine with spending the next 400 right here, kicking back under a coconut tree. But there's something missing...

Looking to the side, he sees a beach chair leaned up against his, an almost sad expression crossing his face. He holds up his drink, and a beautiful woman with dark skin comes to take it away, bringing him another one almost instantaneously. Adam doesn't pay her any mind; he seems to be looking for someone.

Is it you?]

It's nice to meet you too. [Rita shakes his hand.] So do you live around here?

[identity profile] traptinacoffin.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing so exotic. I'm just on vacation. [He smiles around his straw.] Yourself?

[identity profile] justasdamaged.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I live nearby. [She settles into her chair.] I like to come running here. The view is amazing.

That it is... [he agrees with a sigh, looking out over the ocean.] I seem to have misplaced my friend. You didn't happen to see a young man, dark hair, sad puppy dog eyes?

[identity profile] justasdamaged.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no I haven't seen anyone like that. [Rita frowns, obviously concerned.]

Why does he have sad puppy dog eyes?

[identity profile] traptinacoffin.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure hell turn up. And in the mean time, I have you. [He smiles, managing to stop the laugh that wants to come from her question.]

Wouldn't you be sad if you and I were separated? [Adam lifts his eyebrows, showing her how amused he is by her concern.]

[identity profile] justasdamaged.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rita smiles.] Not as sad as your friend must be.

[identity profile] traptinacoffin.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
He'll survive without me, somehow.

[identity profile] justasdamaged.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Somehow. [Rita says cheerfully, looking around her.] Have either of you ever been to Miami before?

[identity profile] traptinacoffin.livejournal.com 2011-04-30 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
I've been quite a few places, but no, I can't say Miami has been one of them. And Peter doesn't often leave New York.

[Rita is definitely concerned now.] Maybe we should go looking for him.

[identity profile] traptinacoffin.livejournal.com 2011-05-01 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Adam frowns, wondering why he hadn't be concerned about Peter before Rita brought it up. Oh yeah, because...] He's a grown man, Rita. [He pulls out his iPhone, showing her the screen.] No missed calls.

...Maybe we should go looking. You think so?

[identity profile] justasdamaged.livejournal.com 2011-05-01 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Rita nods.] I do. You can never be too careful when you're travelling in a strange city.

[identity profile] traptinacoffin.livejournal.com 2011-05-01 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Safety first. [He gets up, turning around to hold out a hand to help her up.] Thank goodness I have you.

[identity profile] justasdamaged.livejournal.com 2011-05-01 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Rita uses his hand to pull herself up. She smiles shyly at Adam.]

Oh... I didn't really do anything.

[identity profile] traptinacoffin.livejournal.com 2011-05-01 02:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Nonsense. You very well could have saved Peter's life. Or will have, once we find him.

[identity profile] justasdamaged.livejournal.com 2011-05-05 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Where do you think he could have run off to?

[identity profile] traptinacoffin.livejournal.com 2011-05-05 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
Anywhere really. Perhaps if we just start walking.
