When Nicole woke up, she didn't find Bruno. She looked out the window and saw him talking to some men who seemed strange to her. She went to take a shower, and after a while, she heard him come in.
When he came out, she noticed that his expression was serious.
"Has something happened?" she asked, puzzled.
"No, why do you ask?" Bruno tried not to get nervous.
"Who were those men?" she sensed that something was wrong.
"Oh, those? They were locals. I was asking them some questions about fishing," he said, stating the first thing that came to his mind.
"By their appearance, they seemed like military personnel," Nicole thought they didn't look like locals at all, they looked different.
"I only know that they're from here, no idea what they do," he shrugged as he said it.
Nicole found his attitude strange; he was clearly being defensive.
"And now, what did you eat?" she asked, serious now.
"Nothing, I haven't had breakfast," the question seemed odd to him, not relevant.
