It had been quite some time since Vicente was forced to break Nicolás' device, but he still felt the guilt from doing so. Despite the fact that he had apologized for what he did, he couldn't shake the feeling that he had done something horribly wrong. He was only trying to protect people, but for something as crazy as what Thomas and Maggie were doing to come of it...was he truly helping anyone? He tossed and turned in thought, finding himself unable to sleep. Letting out an annoyed sigh, he rose from his bed, revealing that he wore a black undershirt and a pair of red pajama pants. He slipped some slippers on, heading out of his room and going out into the Playa, standing at the ledge and staring off into the water. He enjoyed the silence of the outside, only hearing the water swaying and waves forming. After some time, he decided he should probably try to go back to sleep, but upon turning around, he was met by Maggie. He hadn't seen her aside from when she first arrived, but he didn't know that she was the one who called him before.
"Uh...can I help you with something?" he asked, trying to get this over with quickly.
"Can you?" she giggled to herself, "Bah, you already did help me!"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"Don't you remember me? Come on, it hasn't been that long!"
"I'm sorry...I only saw you when you got here, I never spoke to you."
"Oh, please! Think hard! Something like, 'You won't like it if I hurt your fans.' Remember that?"
Vicente felt a pit growing in his stomach as he backed up against the ledge again. Maggie came closer to him, poking at his chest with her pointer finger and laughing at him all the while.
"What's the matter? Are you scared of lil' ol me?"
"You made me smash Nicolás phone...and you threatened me. I think being scared is an okay reaction here."
"Relaaaaax! I'm not here to hurt you, if that's what you think I'm gonna do!"
"Then why are you bothering me? Can't you see that I don't want anything to do with you?"
"Okay, okay! I came here because you helped me, so maybe you deserve something in return, yeah?"
"What are you talking about? What could you possibly give me that would make me feel better about this?"
"An opportunity...of sorts."
"Opportunity?"
"You see, there's these two interns that are en route here now with March, I'm sure you've seen them in a couple episodes."
"I think so, yeah...what about them?"
"What if I told you that you could make some money off of them?"
"What do you mean?"
"Boy, you sure do love asking questions! It's really quite simple...someone just needs to keep them out of my way while they're here. I find them annoying, I'm sure you understand. For the person who keeps them in check, I happen to have five hundred dollars! Sure, it's a fraction of what you could have won, but it's money nonetheless."
"And you want them out of your way just because they're annoying? I don't really-"
"Trust me, you'll understand once they get here. Will you accept the task or not?"
"I guess I can do that...no one will get hurt, though?"
"Nope, not hurting anybody! Just want some quality time with my cutie pie!"
"...Thomas? Cutie pie? You're weird, lady."
"Whatever, whatever. You'll get your money when you're finished working, 'kay?"
"Okay..."
"Now then, off to bed with you! It's late!"
Maggie snickered as Vicente passed her by, causing the boy to worry about what he had just accepted.
