[QUOTE="James Heard, post: 2165808, member: 7280"] The trip from Chicago was unpleasant, wet and bumpy. For the fifth time Brandon tried to reach his mother to tell her that he was out of town and failed. He let it ring until the voice mail clicked on, noting with a sneer the final words of her message "...and Brandon, if that's you, then leave a message! You never call me, your own mother!" He clicked his cell phone shut quickly and stretched, pulling his Nikon out of its travel case in the backpack. "Travel light. Travel quick. Stay low," he thought to himself. Just the sort of mantra you'd expect from a person in the middle of one of the safest countries in the world. He clicked a few idle pictures of the vista and the passengers, forcing a smile and polite wave to the ones who might object. Pretty country up here in Seattle, but too rainy. Again, he looked at the letter. No fee listed, no referral. Just what had he gotten himself into? Caroline had been adamant though, "Brandon, you've got to stop all this knocking around the world. What would Jessica and Camille do without their Uncle Brandon?" More jobs in country, check. Less travelling, check. He sighed and put it away. "No adventures here Caroline, "he murmured, looking out through the rainswept glass of the ferry. [COLOR=darkgray]Having nothing better to do, Brandon picks up his camera and wanders a bit.
