“Look around boys,” The Craggy Man said, “you aren't the first, and many others have tried to escape, but we all seem to end up back here.”
Joe and Guy did look around. Now that their eyes had adjusted to the hazy demi-light of the bar they could see a proliferation of shirtlessness and unbuttonedness, and even some meshness. “Great googally moogally.”
“Still, I like a challenge,” Nebuchadnezzar mused, massaging his strong jaw line with equally strong fingers. “Are you on a fixed deadline? Or would one of the festival days do? Better yet, are you all on good terms with the new husband? If we could get him to help distract her...”
Guy and Joe were in awe of the man's abilities to break down a problem as they devoured ribs, drank beers and discussed how best to get off the Island and back to Chicago.
“It doesn't have to be forever,” Joe admitted. “I mean it wouldn't be so bad to come back here, eventually. Maybe I can even get the office to open a branch here. Beach Actuary. It would suit a younger generation.”
“Plus you would get the female demographic,” Honey said in her thick, husky voice..
“Do you mind?” Nebuchadnezzar said to her, “we are scheming, here.”
“Who am I going to tell?” Honey asked, shrugging and moving away.
And if this was a different sort of story? Honey would have been a plant from Pele, set to spy upon her collection of hunks. But Pele actually didn't have anyone spying upon her favored ones. She kept no ledgers, she wasn't that sort of goddess.
Honey, truth be told, did not really believe in the common misconception held by the men who frequented Blick's Cafe, Novocaine that they were cursed by an Island goddess. She simple couldn't accept such things; however, she did enjoy the scenery. Lots.

“You boys get along really well, don't you?” Nebuchadnezzar didn't really mean it as a question, “It seems like to me...”
“Yeah, of course we get along well!” Guy blurted, “he's my brother. We're like best friends.”
“Of course we're best friends,” Joe exclaimed simultaneously, “we're brothers, it's natural to get along!”
The Craggy Man rolled his eyes. He sipped his beer to get some of the saccharine sweetness out of his mouth. Then he wiggled his mustache so the foam bubbles burst. “You fellows are un-be-lieve-able,” He said dryly.
Guy and Joe looked at each other. “We are?”
Resting his head on the back of his hands on the table, Nebuchadnezzar shook with silent laughter, “yes,” he said in conclusion, “I'll take Paypal.”
