Chapter 26

　　“Are you ready?” she said.

　　“Yea, I think so.”

　　“Good, let’s go dancing.”

　　Before I had a chance to protest, she had taken my hand in hers and led me towards the elevators after locking the glass doors to the office.

　　“I am not a very good dancer,” I said in the elevator.

　　“Don’t worry, I will teach you.”

　　“I was afraid you would say that,” I said with a sigh.

　　She laughed and smiled up at me with her white teeth in stark contrast to her black skin.

　　The drive was quite long and led us out of the city. We passed several suburbs and I saw signs saying that we were getting close to the airport. When she slowed down and turned off the main road, we drove up a smaller side street which ended at a large parking area. We got out and I heard loud music, people laughing and there was the smell of meat cooking. I realized I was quite hungry.
