Sabina was basking in the sun. She decided that since she was supposed to be on holiday she was at least going to enjoy it. She lay spread out on one of the hotel's many loungers, enjoying the warming glow of the morning sun. Her huge sunglasses covered her brown eyes from the blazing sun while her hair was tied back in a loose bun.
Alex was lounging beside her with a magazine in his hand. Sabina was the only person who could see that inside of the magazine was a copy of the file of the case they were meant to be working on.
She didn't notice when he caught something out of the corner of his eye. She didn't notice that it was Sue gesturing for him and she didn't notice the small nod he gave in return.
"Um, I'm going to get a drink, want anything?" He asked standing up from the lounger.
"No" She shook her head.
Alex got up and walked towards the door where he had seen Sue Mathews moments before. He glanced behind him at Sabina quickly before walking into the lobby of the hotel. Scanning the room he spotted his 'Mothers' red dress disappear into an elevator.
He jumped into the elevator before the doors snapped shut. "Alex, Sausage!" Sue's voice rang out.
Even though they were alone in the elevator she still insisted that they went along with the lie. "Mum." Alex nodded in acknowledgment.
"You're Father and I are going out soon. Will you and Sabina be ok? Here? At the hotel?" She acted sweet and motherly toward him.
Alex could tell that she was hinting at the two of them to not leave the hotel. "Of course. We'll me fine, Mum."
The ding of the elevators sounded before the doors opened. Alex followed Sue down the corridor to their room.
"Where are you going?" Alex asked as soon as he was sure the door to their hotel room was closed.
And with just the closing of a door the facade was over. "To scope out the island."
"You're sure you don't want me to come?"
Jacob kept quiet, packing gadgets into two non-descript backpacks. "I know that Mr Blunt holds you in high regard, but it is not our job to baby sit you. You and Sabina will stay here." She answered.
When a dark shadow crossed in front of her sun she opened her eyes to see Alex. Sabina stared at him. "What's wrong?"
Alex just shook his head and started walking away from her.
"Hey! What's your problem?"
"You. You're my problem! You shouldn't even be here!" Alex exploded.
"What do you mean?" She asked surprised at his sudden outburst.
"You're not a spy, this isn't your life." He gestured wildly as he paced along the pool side, getting more agitated.
Sabina stood up and followed after him, letting him get everything off his chest. "You think I wanted this?" She pulled her huge sunglasses off her face.
"Well, I didn't see you turning down the opportunity." He glared down at her.
"I didn't have much of a choice!"
He shook his head, "You could've said no."
Sabina had no response. She hadn't told Alex why she agreed to go on this mission, nor did she plan on telling him. Instead she just squinted up at the glaring sun behind his head.
He let out a deep breathing, letting his shoulders sag. "I worry about you, Sabina." Alex said softly.
"Well, don't." Sabina said harshly, still fuming from their argument. She turned away from him and walked into the hotel. As she passed her lounge chair she grabbed the towel that had been drapped over it and wrapped it around her body.
Alex watched her go into the hotel with grim satisfaction. As soon as he saw her pass through the door he breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't sure if she would take the bait. He hadn't wanted to argue with her but could think of no other way to get her to stay at the hotel while he followed his 'parents'.
