"Straight ahead, shopping district is to the left. Can't miss it," he told him. "Should be able to get something from the stores there, just behind the market.

They got closer and the group of people turned to look at them.
"Gentlemen!" Jack said with a wide grin. He stepped ahead and greeted each man with a handshake and a kiss to the back of each of their hands, as was the way.
