Laughing, the dark-haired young man put Carter in a headlock.
"Take your seats, boys," Wendy, the flight attendant, said. "We’re going to Miami."
"So you were roped into this wedding as well?" Grant asked Finn.
"Yep. My only regret is having to go back to Connecticut. I know my parents will want to see me."
"They aren't off your case now that you have something productive to do?"
Carter snorted. "Like the Marine Corps is productive."
"Exactly," Finn replied, a sour look on his face. He stood up and went to the small bar and poured himself a drink.
"They're mad that they paid all that money to adopt me and didn't get their money's worth."
"You can always come work at Holbrook," Grant said.
Finn grimaced. "I don't think I'm qualified."
"Carter's less qualified than you, and he's working there," Grant said.
"Oh yeah?"
"He's an intern," Mark corrected.
"If he's going to act like that this whole trip, I want off this plane!" Carter threatened.
"Calm down," Grant said. "Have a drink, Carter. Nothing wrong with an internship. You're having fun, aren't you?"
They continued the somewhat friendly bickering until they reached Miami.
After they landed, they spent over an hour in traffic, fighting to get to the marina where Fernando waited with his uncle's yacht.
"Wow!" Carter said with a whistle as they stood on the dock, looking at the enormous luxury vessel. "That is intense."
The five men took their bags out of the car and headed to the gangway.
"So what's the itinerary?" Mark asked.
"Um," Carter said.
"You planned this," Eric reminded him.
"Youplanned this?" Mark said incredulously.
He and Finn had changed out of their uniforms and were sporting brightly colored polo shirts and sunglasses.
"Shut up, Mark!" Carter said. He just wanted to punch his brother.
"Whoa, you two need to calm down," Grant said.
"Stop acting so high-and-mighty!" Carter yelled at his cousin.
"Hello, boys." Grant swung around as Jean-Claude walked up the gangway behind them.
"Hell no," Grant said flatly.
"The conquistadors. All lined up," the tall, thin European said with a smirk.
