Day Six

Finn shoved her camera, a bottle of sunscreen, a baseball cap, her e-reader, and a bottle of water into her backpack. The literature Veronique, the clerk in the excursions office, had given her suggested she should bring a light jacket for the return trip, but she expected to be so hot and sweaty from spending two hours walking in the heat and humidity of the Mexican jungle she would welcome the chill of the air-conditioning on the tour company’s chartered bus.

She slipped her cell phone into the pocket of her cargo shorts, looked around her room for anything she might have forgotten, and headed to the main restaurant for breakfast.

The trepidation she had felt yesterday had evaporated after she read the text Luisa sent her at nearly four a.m. Finally home. Exhausted. Have fun in Chichén Itzá. I’ll call you tonight so you can tell me all about it. I can’t wait to hear about your latest adventure. And Finn couldn’t wait to live it. Now that she knew Luisa had made it home safe and sound, she could relax and enjoy whatever the day had in store.

She walked—okay, floated—down the two flights of stairs and headed for the flower-lined walkway next to the sea. She hadn’t seen the grounds this deserted in days. It was so early even the iguanas weren’t up yet. The white-clad security guards were already at their posts, however. She nodded good morning to one speaking rapid Spanish into a walkie-talkie. His spiked hair and tattooed arms gave him a rough edge that contrasted with the more sedate appearance of the clean-cut guards she had seen stationed near the beach over the past week. Those guys looked like they could double as Secret Service agents. This guy looked more like a bouncer in a biker bar.

As she neared the heart of the resort, she passed a trio of maids in coral-colored uniforms reporting to work. Their holas were more subdued than normal, but she attributed that to running into them before they’d had their morning coffee. And vice versa. She normally didn’t start feeling human on most mornings until she’d had her second cup of joe. Today she was still waiting to have her first. When she reached the restaurant, nearly thirty women were gathered at the foot of the winding stairs, and more were on the way.

“Grab a seat,” Ryan said, straddling one of the stone benches outside the gift shop. “They’re not open yet.”

Finn checked her watch. Six forty. The restaurant’s doors were supposed to be open ten minutes ago to give everyone plenty of time to have a hearty breakfast before they left for their respective excursions. So much for two cups of coffee. Today she would have to settle for one. If that.

“What’s the holdup?” she asked. The bus was leaving in less than an hour, and she needed to fuel up before she boarded. The granola bar, apple, and banana in her backpack were supposed to be a snack. They weren’t supposed to last all day.
