SIXTEEN
Dr Michael Fraiker had been working for the Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social in a small government sponsored clinic in Quepos for under a month. He was still amazed, baffled and enchanted by Costa Rica and all its curious and often contradictory glory. It was without a doubt one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places on earth and nearly every day, he experienced something totally unbelievable.
On his first night there, he had been driving through pouring rain, inching along and squinting through the deluge, and he had missed the unmarked dirt road that led to the small house provided for him by the clinic. While looking for a place to turn around, he nearly hit a wet, mopey-looking creature that he had mistaken for a German shepherd until it turned its long skinny head to peer at him with a tiny eye. It had been a giant anteater, cruising along the side of the road as if it had no idea of its own stunning improbability. When he asked his cheerful American neighbor why she hung tin pie plates over the horses' stalls in her rickety stable, she had replied in the most matter-of-fact way that the reflective plates confused the radar of the local vampire bats and kept them off her sleeping animals. Vampire bats. It was unreal. There were monkeys and toucans and crocodiles and sloths. It was like living in a zoo with no bars.
Then there were the women. Dr Fraiker was twenty-nine and more than a little geeky, tall and thin, with hunched shoulders and large feet. He had never had much luck with women back in the States, but in Costa Rica, he suddenly found himself with more female interest than he'd ever dreamed of. Tica women were friendly and totally open about sex. And they were all interested in him. He could suddenly pick and choose from a veritable smorgasbord of beautiful women, but there was really only one he was genuinely interested in.
Her name was Jucilei and she worked in a tiny restaurant two doors down from the little clinic. The blond American surfer types who hung around her like hungry sharks called her "Juicy" and for good reason. She was a stunning natural beauty with big hazel eyes fringed with thick dark lashes, and long, sleek chestnut hair, which brushed the upper curve of her round and saucy bottom. She, like all the other local Tica girls, seemed to subscribe to a curiously asymmetrical kind of modesty. She was often seen wearing pants slung so low that the cleavage of her spectacular ass cheeks was on display even when she stood straight upright, yet she also wore a thick, padded bra, even with skimpy halter tops, as if showing even a hint of nipple would be totally obscene. Aussie Dave, who tended bar at Croco, the comfortable and homey open air bar Dr Fraiker frequented on his days off, was the one who first pointed out this curious contradiction.
