Mykonos, Greece
Over the years, the island of Mykonos turned from a sanctuary for the Greek Gods to a sanctuary for all party-goers of Europe and besides. Every village, every beach, every camping had its nightclub.
This camping did not make exception to the rule. The well-named camping "Paradise". Conveniences were rather rudimentary and as everywhere in Greece, the soil was dried out. Vegetation was rare and the warmth heavy. However, parties there could be damn great.
In the daytime, there was music around the swimming pool. Two bars allowed the customers to refresh. Three small steps led to a beach of white sand. The water was translucent. The view was sublime. The customers usually laze around on the beach or in water. There was not much of other thing to do. Everything seemed more quiet and peaceful here.
At night, everything changed into a dance floor. Tables and bars became podiums, the swimming pool a place to get cooler, the beach a place to flirt. The owners added up an additional room for those who wanted to dance in the middle of the flashes of light and the corners of black light. People were going out of the torpor of the day.
Ambience was always hot but this night more than ever. It was the "Full Moon" party and the clubbers have come from the four corners of the island.

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show they never go away
Like moving pictures in my head for years and years they've played

Dominic was on the run. Letty had been arrested a while ago in South America. He still do not know if she has made it on purpose to put an end to their getaway or if the cops have ended up finding them. He learnt that she had taken everything on her. Anyhow, they caught her out with the traces of blood containing her DNA in the Honda which they had left behind them. Vince was already in jail at that time.
Deep inside, he really did not want to know the truth then he kept on running away. After Asia, Europe was well worth another continent. And this evening, all he wanted was to forget by partying.

If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all my shame to the grave

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back
And never moving forward so there'd never be a past

She was on vacation. The first ones for quite a lot of years. She was savoring it. She had come here alone. It was in her personality, she was rather solitary. She was attracting all the looks by dancing. She was letting them slip and did not pay attention to them. Only the dance mattered. It was a way to forget as another one and she has to forget.

If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all my shame to the grave

Dom had been quickly encircled with a bunch of brassy blonde women but he was not of the kind to dance. Some of them left. He was not, or not anymore, of the kind to talk but some of them still hang on. Why not after all…
.
Just washing it aside
All of the helplessness inside
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
It's so much simpler than change

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

His gaze was wandering, absent-mindedly and scanned the crowd. Pictures of other holidays were overlapping. At that time, his life h ad been full of adrenalin. Perhaps it had been full of problems but he had had a family, a reason to fight to earn his freedom. Currently, days were merging into nights without him realizing it. Currently, he had all the freedom which he ever wanted but he did not know what to do with it.
A girl caught his attention. Obviously, he was not the only one to have seen her. She was closely encircled with a heap of boys. Of course, he thought, with the clothes which she wore. He watched her head to toes: rather simple tank top, hot-shorts and black thigh boots. All things considered, her clothes had nothing special. Perhaps it was her curves? Certainly, she was well-made but not anything special there either.
He watched more attentively. In fact, it was her attitude. She was rather small, lean and had brown hair fondling the small of her back. Her stay here had gotten her a light caramel tan. She was rather common but it was emerging a certain strength from her. He wondered where did it come from. He looked closer. It was unquestionably from her eyes. She was there but she was not there all at once. Weird.
One of the fair-haired women who was hunging on his arm brought him back to reality by some unimportant prattle. He turned his attention to her. Since Letty was not there anymore, he made sure to remember no girl. Only her mattered and ever will. He lived in memories. The adrenalin was finished for him. Therefore, he turned his back on the dance floor to lean on elbows on the bar and concentrate his attention on an easy and stupid prey which he will leave without regrets at the end of the night.
