During the recess Yoko stood outside getting some fresh air. Her mobile rang and she reached into her handbag to get it. She checked the caller ID and answered the phone, "Hey Kevin! What are you up to?"
"Right now? I'm headed to Miami – new job, new city."
"Another job," Yoko replied, "so soon?"
"Yeah. Course I work enough as it is. Hey I saw you on TV – good job."
"Thanks. I feel really…fulfilled now. There's plenty of stuff for me to do. And it won't be easy, but I feel like I'm really making progress here."
They both looked up to the sky. Kevin continued,"Damn, nice weather though. This oughtta be fun."
Yoko turned off her phone and smiled as Linda joined her. Many miles away Kevin Ryman also smiled as he got onto his bike and rode off into the sunset.
Meanwhile at a dock more miles away, David King stood next to a similar payphone with the receiver in his hand. "Yeah…and I read your article too. Very good."
Alyssa Ashcoft picked up the article in question, "I'm fully aware of that thank you very much. How else would I make front page?"
"Okay okay. No need to brag. Still got a lot of work to do before we can take down Umbrella for good."
"It's all about strength…physical strength. David…do you really have to go?"
David sighed, "yes. There's someone I need to talk to."
Alyssa laughed, "you? Talk? No way."
"Hmpf. I suppose idle talk has its place sometimes. No, I'm serious."
"Will I see you again?"
David smiled, "you can count on it."
As Alyssa continued to do more reps, David was on a ship leaving he harbour. The sun was rising on a new day.
Else where, Mark lay on his best deck chair with mobile in hand, "nothing new with me. Just as dull as ever…of course that hardly means I'm looking for a little adventure or anything. What've you been doing?"
Jim scanned the shelves looking for the right shoes. "Huh, what? Oh yeah, you were just asking what I was up to right? Getting ready to start work again. Hold up!" He pointed suddenly. "Now that's what I'm talking about! The ones with the red stripe over on the right side of the third shelf."
"Jim?"
"Huh? Oh sorry I was just talkin'." Mark waved to his children and looked at the sky as Jim left the shoe shop with his precious cargo.
Dr George Hamilton tapped on his laptop and looked out of the plane window with one hand whilst trying to hold his mobile in the other. "I've been thinking about dropping by the university research labs sometime soon. There are a few things I've been meaning to look into…how are you Cindy? You OK?"
Cindy smiled as she looked at the ad in front of her, "yeah. I just decided that its time to start something new you know? You really should come by."
George sighed. "I'll try but…you know how it is with my new job. I should be quite busy. Why don't you invite some of the others round or…" George knocked his extremely hot coffee into his lap and dropped the phone, "aaaah! Air hostess! Tissues please!"
Cindy put down the magazine and start dialling numbers, "yeah. I just might do that…"
