De made his way back downstairs a second time, this time fully dressed and in a completely different suit. As he breezed through the front door of his building he patted himself down, making sure he had all the essentials. Keys, cash, gun and clips, wallet, phone, and a ballpoint pen. As he climbed into his car he was relatively sure that he had everything he needed for the day, though with the information he'd just received over the phone that morning he was a bit distracted and was beginning to pay more mind to that old saying "You can never go home again." As it stood, there was only a fifty/fifty chance that this entire trip wouldn't blow up in his face, and he knew he stood a better chance of surviving the week if he was in the company of his comrades.
As he started the vehicle and began the drive back towards the hotel, he wondered if the others were having any fun yet. Between the beaches, clubs, shops, and people, the city could be full of wonder. It could also be fully of creepy crawlies and things that go bump in the night. But seeing as how it was the middle of the day, what could possibly go wrong?
Back at the hotel, the "twilight twins" had already made their way out of the building, leaving everyone they passed with a more than slightly confused look on their face. However, in their wake things in the hotel were starting to return to normal. Staff memebers were finding thier uniforms tucked away in closets and drawers, lockers and cabinets. And guests who happened to be returning to thier rooms found their suitcases once again packed with their rightful clothes. Of course, those still on the lower floors and by the pool were unaware of this recent turn-around, but that suited quite a few of the guests just fine.
