“Isn’t that life in general. Nobody wants to find trouble. And she is well organised in life. She takes more after her mother in terms of personality but she has our self sufficiency. Some day she’ll be a designer and dressing the movie stars”. Largo did hope for good things but was realistic to know things didn’t always work out that way. He suspected Brett had never planned on ex wives but that had come to be. Brett Ravenmore

"Kids are such fruits of labor," he said as he put down another drink as he stood up. "Come on, I need to go check on a few things and could use some company if you don't have anything else planned at the moment." Largo Vasquez

“Are those things business related?” Largo posed sounding curious. He’d nothing against brothels if this was the business that Brett was on about. He’d just never seen one up close before. “Did you ever have any children?” he also posed finishing of his second drink. He didn’t drive here and he felt just fine. The sea air would deal with the alcohol soon enough. Brett Ravenmore

"Always," he said with a laugh. "I never know how to put business down," he said. It was part of the reason why he went through so many wives but he liked how he was and his current wife did not seem to matter too mind it too much. "I don't have any yet though according to my current wife we are actively trying so maybe soon." Largo Vasquez

“Alright then Brett. You’ve gotten me curious” he replied cheerfully. Then he added that his current wife and himself were trying for children. That was a good thing and he added “hopefully you can be blessed that way. I’ve been through all that and it is worth it. Even when they’re teenagers”. Then laughed a little. Estella was good and sensible and he’d no worries when she did things. Brett Ravenmore

Brett laughed as he got up and finally moved out of the mall as he waited on Largo. "Oh not teenagers though I believe that is when they find the most out about themselves which I imagine can be good but stressful," he said once they were outside the mall. Brett took the first corner and looked back. "Come on this is a shortcut way," Largo Vasquez

Following Brett might well get him into trouble. That thought crossed his mind but he’d dealt with worse before. So feeling sure of being able to bug out if things did get too hot he nodded and followed. “So you want the diapers and sleepless nights then?” he posed. Largo keep his eyes and ears open as they started to go into back streets. Those usually tended to be the short cuts in any town or city. Brett Ravenmore

"As I get older I think, I start to think of what I have left behind but more important than that what I have left them and I guess I do. I mean my wife wants it, I fought it for a little bit but unlike the first few she still seems to stick around with me and so I am inclined to give her what she wants," he said. He had already been soaked of enough money as they finally came out on a different street. "I want to keep her happy." He needed to keep her happy, she knew too much. Largo Vasquez

“Keeping the wife happy is essential and when she wants babies you have to let her run with the ball” Largo advised. He also couldn’t put his finger on the feeling he was getting about Brett just yet. In the meantime they were getting deeper into the city. One wife felt like enough to him and it take a special person to even think about going through that stuff again. He was still keeping his bearings as once you knew the way to the sea you could always get back there. They weren’t in the old town yet. Brett Ravenmore

"I agree," he said as he took a second and made another turn. "We are taking the back way to the brothel. You see there are a few people that like to know when and why I exit and today is not a day that I want to run into them and especially not in my current state. I mean I hold my alcohol pretty well but still I have business and honestly Largo not all of it is clean." Largo Vasquez

Going the back way. That got an itch going in the palm of his hands and he didn't even have as much as a knife on him in what could well be a dangerous situation. He knew from his younger days it was a warning his senses sent him but so far it was good. "I've had to do things I'm not proud off before but in the here and now and while on this island I do want to make things better for everyone" he replied. This island was a chance of redemption for him as he had a settled job, enough local mysteries to keep him occupied and his daughter living here. Also the time to repair the damage he had done. "So it sounds like you could have an adventurous life. I hope the PD don't know about the shady side of things" he added as they kept going deeper. Brett Ravenmore

"I am going to be honest Lago I do not want to stay in the whorehouse business for long and once my third wife divorces me she will probably take it but I am using it more so for good than bad. I checked the crime rates out before I came here and the last thing that I want to do is add to those, beside ashford pd is already up my ass for how active the whorehouse can be but I do not control anyone's urges you know?"

“You can’t help men being horny Brett” Largo agreed. Some up their arse moral puritan was probably pushing that agenda but Brett was actually providing a safe place for those women to work in. “In fact you are providing a community service and a safe place for night workers. You have nothing to feel bad about” he added before noticing something else. “Did you notice if you were being followed before we went down these back streets? Because the last time I seen bricks like those two guys it was on a dig just outside Mexico City. Local mobsters looking for a pay off so our dig or staff wouldn’t suffer. I shot one and they didn’t bother us again”. Now he needed a weapon and fast. Even a beer bottle would do. Brett Ravenmore

"That is how I see it too," he said but the next question he was not expecting. "No but it would not surprise me if someone was having me tailed," he said. Brett did not see himself as this one all, be all powerful individual but it did not mean that he might not be associated with the workers. "You shot one and they lived or you shot one and they died?" he asked as he looked around. "Here, you take this bottle and I will take this jagged knife." Largo Vasquez

Brett didn’t seem to be surprised either but luck was with them. He had a knife and there was a lucky beer bottle near them. One man’s refuse is another’s weapon after all. “I shot one and left him with a big hole in a shoulder. He lived and the police questioned him. Then we weren’t bothered again and thank you for the weapon” he replied eyeing two bruisers carefully. They might only get once chance to cause them harm. “We can double team them if we can lure them to those dumpsters. They narrow the alleyway” he added seeing them draw switchblades. At least he wasn’t taking a beer bottle to a gunfight but he also could fight dirty. Brett Ravenmore
