Devon decided to pay for a sandwich and a gourmet coffee. He had no cash with him but signed for the food, thinking he would have to be cautious about running up a bill in this expensive place. He had money with him but spending large here was going to cause questions from his family.

He had been working on his contacts for hours now and he needed some sustenance.

Earlier he had seen his Aunt Megan with a large bag of purchases. She was having lunch on the outdoor patio restaurant and it looked like she had made some new friends. The women were chatting away as if they had known each other for years.

He was looking around for a quiet spot to eat when he saw his uncle Maurice huddled in a corner. That was interesting; the M&Ms here, but not together. What was going on?

Curiosity compelled him to take a peek at the screen of the computer that was causing such intense concentration by Professor Maurice Anderson. He sidled around a wall and gently stepped along until he could glimpse the iPad screen. At first he thought his uncle was a secret online game fan and found it a neat idea. Could it be he had discovered something new in that line? As a composer of such games, Devon wanted to know more. He craned his neck and quickly realized the game in question was not a medieval war contest or a science fiction fantasy. It was a well-known American gambling site. The multiple screens were changing rapidly as cards were discarded or added. He had heard such games were addictive but that applied only if you were an active participant. As this thought occurred, he saw his uncle click on a side panel and a confirmation appeared briefly on the main screen. He had made a bet and it was a big one.

Wow! I wonder if snooty Aunt Megan knows about this? I hardly think so, when he is obviously concealing his activity. If it was harmless, he would be doing this back at the apartment.

Devon withdrew silently, tucking this information away for future benefit. It briefly crossed his mind to find his aunt and reunite the M&Ms just to see what would happen. This was not his style. After all, Maurice Anderson was not the only one here with secrets. He took the elevator down to ground level and sat on a step overlooking the waterfall while he finished his lunch. He would walk back to the apartment and see what else was going on. With ten different individuals thrust together in one place for a whole week, the interesting possibilities were pretty much endless.

Initial observations at Nuevo Vallarta Resort.

Barely 24hours here and already I can see a number of features that seem unusual.

Supervision everywhere; indoors and out. Trained staff in uniform, easily identified.

A range of ages. Access to this huge complex is limited for vehicles.
