Chapter 19 - Revelation

Sylvia dressed for the beach in a bikini but put on over it a loose summer dress printed with bright green, red, and yellow leaves; they would be visiting other areas before the beach. She slipped on sandals with medium-height heels and grabbed a bag of items she often wanted at the beach. From her fridge she took two plastic bottles of water, one for each of them.

Her brother came out of his bedroom in worn blue jeans and a white tee with a formerly black but now grey Miami Police Academy emblem on the front and back. Worn but bright red tennies adorned his feet. He caught her placing the water bottles in her bag.

"Good idea. We'll need those soon."

"We can get more at the spaceship hangar and the beach if we need them. Ah, did you bring a bathing suit?"

"Didn't think I'd need it."

"We'll pick up one on the way."

They also picked up, briefly, several women the sea monster knew by sight and name. The monster introduced Rickie but only by his first name. If they assumed he was taken that was alright by her. He thanked her after the second obviously predatory woman.

"God, where are the retiring maidenly Latin women?"

"You're from Miami. You ought to know the answer; there arn't any. Anyway, most of these are Argentine women. They consider themselves Europeans."

They walked down the main street toward the south, Sylvia a bit proudly showing off all the modern stores. In a clothing store with a decidedly youthful bent he bought a trunk-style swimsuit, making Sylvia rethink her swimsuit choice: a bikini made up of three small triangles. This was popular with younger Boricua and women in Miami and probably appreciated by her brother—on women other than his sister. So she bought a suit with a sports bra top and a bottom that covered her bottom. Somewhat further on they bought a snorkel and swim fins for Rickie.

All set for the beach, she led him to the nearest auto tram site. The werecreature examined the posted schedule.

"Hmm. We'll have to wait fifteen minutes for the next cart. You want to walk to the hangar? Or run?"

"Run? With those heels? You'll kill yourself."

She slipped her sandals off. It had been a stupid choice for the beach. She had only been thinking of making a better impression at the spaceship hangar.

"No, I won't. Let's go."

"No. The concrete will kill your feet, and any little rock will cut those tender tootsies."

She laughed. "My feet are tougher than boots, Riki Tiki. Come on." And she was off at a leisurely jog she could keep up for hours or even days on end. When he caught up with her she stepped up the pace to a fast jog. At first he kept a sharp eye on her but soon seemed to mentally shrug and began to enjoy the view around them.

At one point an automatic passenger cart trundled out of a side street. Sylvia veered to catch up and stepped aboard.
