Chapter Nine: Laura Cruz

I sat alone in the booth of a rather run-down café outside the port. I needed something to eat before I rang up the shipping company later on. I had abandoned my guns, jacket and map earlier on, along with the car. I felt bereft without my guns. I can't believe this time two days ago I was never going to do anything like this again.
I stirred the red soup round with my spoon, and took a sip of some lemonade. Half an hour later I had finished, and paid the chef 10 euros for the rather… average meal. He took the 'hefty' amount graciously. I walked into the ladies' room before I left, and picked bits of dirt out of my hair. I quickly splashed my face with some cold water and towelled myself dry with a wodge of tissue. I walked out quickly, and found a payphone round the corner. I dialled the number off of an advertisement board and found the French bloke on the other end easy to convince with a little flirting.
"Hello?" He answered in a gruff voice.
"Hello? Is this the company for cruises?" I asked innocently.
"Yeah. D'ya want to book a passage?" He replied.
"Yes, is there one for today? Or tomorrow?" I requested sweetly.
"The earliest one leaves at 9pm tonight. Is that alright, sweetness?"
"Perfect, thanks."
"What's your name?"
"Uh, name?"
"That's what I said." I blanked. I can't say Lara Croft.
"Um, Laura Cruz."
"You sure?"
"I know my own name!" I lied.
"OK. You need to be at the port by 8, and then you'll collect your tickets. K?"
"Alright."
I hung up the phone. Laura Cruz. Nice.
