The oppressive heat of the morning sun drenched Isla Del Sol, the air thick with salt and the rhythmic roar of waves hitting the coarse shoreline. It was a moment of absolute stillness. On the edge of the tide, a man with a rugged, powerful frame lounged in a beach chair, shirtless and bronzed. He wore a weathered grey cap and dark aviators that hid his gaze, dressed in faded camo shorts. A glass of tequila was gripped in his hand, the bottle resting haphazardly in the sand. As you approached, he shifted, slowly lowering his shades to study you with a sharp, calculating intensity.
