As was inevitable, morning came to Hong Kong as it always did. To everyone’s dismay, early on the atmosphere was gray with the effects of the heavy pollution that poisoned the air. Doom and gloom in her voice, Maggie announced that things would get brighter when they partook of some good old-fashioned shopping. The others wholeheartedly agreed. They were all down in the lobby well before the appointed hour of seven o’clock.

“We do breakfast just like all tours do,” Maggie announced in her best tourist-guide voice. “I suggest we all do the buffet so we can move along at a good pace. Then we can depart the hotel and head for Nathan Road, where we will shop till noon, have lunch, then shop some more until three thirty, at which point we will head back here to the hotel, partake of high tea, then settle down and discuss the day. Raise your hand if you are in agreement. And by the way, we need to welcome a new member to our group, Mr. Bik Bo. Mr. Bo is from San Francisco. He got stranded somehow, and his tour company shuttled him over to us. So, everyone, a big welcome to Mr. Bik Bo.”

The gang waved with gusto. Mr. Bo grinned, showing twice as many teeth as he had when he was Dishbang Deshi. Mr. Bo also had twice as much hair, a new eye color, and ruddy cheeks, along with ten extra pounds plus two inches more in height. All thanks to Alexis and her red magic bag of tricks.

“Mr. Bo will stay as close to Alexis as possible during our shopping trip. We don’t want him pairing off with any of the guys, so if someone is following us as a group, nothing will cause suspicion. If we’re all good here, then let’s get some breakfast so we have enough energy for all the shopping we’re going to be doing. Ah, I see Mr. Snowden heading our way. Okay, everybody, showtime. Act just like the stupid tourists we’re supposed to be.”

“Nice talk, girl.” Nikki giggled as she walked alongside Maggie, her gaze sweeping the exquisite dining room for anything that appeared out of the ordinary.

“I’m thinking I missed my calling. Maybe I was meant to be a tour guide in my other life.” Maggie lowered her voice, and said, “I’m not seeing anything to cause concern, are you, Nikki?”

“No. But we are inside the hotel. I’m sure things will change once we get outside into the street.”

The quick meal was accompanied by a lot of girl talk and a bit of nibbling while the guys mostly remained silent while stoking down a heavy-duty breakfast. While they chewed and swallowed, their eyes and ears were tuned to anyone who looked like they didn’t belong in the elegant hotel and whatever conversations they could overhear. Surprisingly, most of the conversations they could overhear were spoken in English by tourists like what they were supposed to be.

“No cause for alarm,” was Charles’s assessment.
