Agent Sheldon Jeffery Sands sat on the beach as he frantically dialed on his cell phone. Lifting the cell to his ear he waited impatiently, "Come on, come.. yes! Don't hang up on me!" he snapped into the device. He looked up and looked around, "Look I realize that, but my best men are out there and all are unarmed." He suddenly stood and looked out to the waters, "What?" he leaned over before taking a step on the sandy beach, "Can you hear me now? Hello?" he lowered the phone and hit it slightly before listening again, "Yes! I can here you.. Como Esta?" he yelled when he spotted two strangely dressed people walking on the beach, "Yes?" he jolted as his mind returned back to the conversation he was having, "Fine CALL ME Back!" he shouted and closed the phone and stuffed it into his coat Jacket, "Fuckmook." He said referring to the caller on the phone.
He smiled at the two when they approached him as he stuffed his hands into his pockets and pulled out a Cigarette, lighting it he studied the two, "It must be Halloween." He quipped.Lia and Jack exchanged looks. "Hallow wha?" inquired Lia.
Sands sighed. "Hall-ow-een... Look I'm very busy, what the hell do you want from me?"
Lia looked at Sands for a few moments and then said, "How quick we are to jump to conclusions..."
"If you don't want anything from me then fuck off," he said with matching hand motions.
Jack gave Lia a warning look and then said to Sands, "We'll be on our very way if ye can just tell us where we are, mate."
Sands looked around and then back at Jack. "You're in Mexico," he said with too much of a smart ass attitude.
Jack looked around and up at the buildings. "This isn't the Mexico I know."
Sands looked at Jack before turning and looking up at Mexico City's skyline. "Not Mexico?" he whispered to himself before turning back to the two, "There isn't any other." He said when his phone rang, he fished it out of his jacket and answered, "What?" he turned and looked at the two when he dropped the cigarette in the sand and stomped on it, "No, look, okay.. listen." He looked back at the two and then back to the phone, "Listen, I'm all over it. That's what I do." He smirked slightly at Jack and Lia, "Look, I'll call you back. NO, this time I'll call you back! This isn't the best ..." his head nodded several times, "Yes I got you, now look you just get me what I need and let me do the rest." He then hung up the phone he looked back at Jack and Lia a frown appearing on his face, "Why are you still here, didn't I answer your question?"
Lia looked around and then at what Sands was wearing and squinted her eyes. "We're no longer in the 1700's are we?"
Sands grinned and said sarcastically, "Hey! We have ourselves a genius!"
Lia bit her lower lip and put her hands to one of sheathes that held her throwing knives and stroked the hilt, contemplating whether or not she should throw one at Sands. Jack noticed what Lia was doing and put a hand on her arm and said quietly, "Easy, luv."
Lia took in a deep breath and glanced at Jack then back at Sands and said as cheerily as possible, "Then tell me what year it is."
Sands tilted his head in mock-thought then said, "Last time I checked it was 2003, sugarbutt."
Lia went to the sheathes at her waist and quickly unsheathed one of her knives and threw it at Sands n the blink of an eye. Jack shot his hand out and latched onto her wrists but it was too late. Sands jumped out of the way and shouted, "What the hell, fuckmook?!"
Jack looked at Sands and said quickly, "Not a good idea, mate."
Sands turning in aggravation turned his back to her as the man who dressed strangely with dreg locks in his hair strewn with beads and a double braid on his chin caught the young woman's hands. Sands turning around drew his weapon and aimed it at the woman. "You know what?" Sands said as his brow rose above the rim of his dark sunglasses, "He's right that was a very bad mistake."
Jack turned and wavered back slightly at the sight of the weapon; drew his and aimed it back at Sands.
Lia growled as she glared at the man dressed oddly with a jacket covering a shirt that had strange markings on it of a Dog and the words, "Yo Quiero Taco Bell" on it.
Jack narrowed his eyes as he watched the man chuckle, "Me gun may only have one shot, but I don't miss," he said in warning.
Sands looked at Jack and brought forth his other hand that was hidden in his coat, which held a smaller gun, "That fossil may misfire, but mine won't." Sands hissed, "As it seems that pleasantries are out of the question," he glanced at Lia, "Who the fuck are you two?"
Lia pulled out another knife and aimed it at Sands but didn't throw it. "I'd like to know who the fuck you are!" Lia said in reply.
Sands looked at her and then back at Jack. "I asked you first, and I won't say a damn thing until you answer my question."
Lia stared at Sands, just as stubborn as he was. Jack looked at Sands and then at Lia, always keeping one eye upon the other man. "Me name's Captain Jack Sparrow, and this be me lass, Lia."
Lia looked at Jack and sighed and then her attention turned back to Sands. "You know who we are, now do us the honor of telling us who you are."
Sands grinned. "You know I really don't need to tell either of you a damn thing but..."
Lia bit her lower lip and tried not to fling her knife at him. Sands looked at her and smiled, "Something wrong, sugarbutt?"
Lia growled, but this time Jack was quicker and had her wrist in his other hand. "Lia..."
She glanced at Jack and then gave Sands a cold stare. "Don't be an ass, stop fucking around, and just tell us who you are!"
Sands sighed. "Since you asked so nicely my name is Agent Sheldon Jeffery Sands, CIA."
"CIA?" inquired Jack and Lia at the same time.
"What does that stand for?" Lia asked.
Sands let out an impatient sigh and said boredly, "Central Intelligence Agency."
"Intelligence?" said Lia, "Then that must rule you out."
"Amusing," Sands answered her back, "And you are from the Circus." He grinned, "Neat trick from lowlanders."
Lia looked at Sands and shook her head. "And you are from a circus? Is that your best come back? Like I said, intelligence you are lacking."
Raising a brow at the young woman, "I doubt you know what one is." he answered, "So if you will excuse me, I have an actual job to do." Turning from the two he holstered one of his guns walking back up the beach towards one of the small restaurants.
Jack in thought noticed Lia charging after Agent Sands when he holstered his pistol in his sash and raced up the beach after her, "Stop, please don't do anything stupid." he pleaded knowing that she might not hear.
She kept on running after Sands, taking no notice to Jack's calls. Her only target was Sands, she lifted her blade and was about to fling it when she tripped over a rock in the sand and fell flat on her face. She looked up and said softly, "Fuck!" She growled and jumped to her feet, by this time Jack had caught up with her and was some what out of breath.
"Would you stop trying to kill everyone before you learn anything about them?" Jack asked, almost pleadingly.
Lai was brushing herself off when she turned to Jack. "I learned he's a complete ass, and that he isn't the brightest! That's enough for me!"
Jack looked at her. "I'm not saying anything. First impression, though important they may be, are not always correct, luv."
Lia sighed and looked up at Jack. "Need you always make sense all the time?"
Jack grinned and nodded, "Aye. Of course, luv."
Lia shook her head and then said, "Come on, let's see if we can't figure out a way to get back home."
Jack looked around and then said, "We'll probably have a hard time doing that, darling."
Lia's attention went back to the restaurant where Sands disappeared into and she said matter-of-factly, "You do realize that if I hadn't tripped... He'd be dead, don't you?"
