I went back and forth on these 2 photos as I was trying to think what the story might be.
First impression was just some couples at the wrong place at the wrong time and they got caught in the middle of something. But that was kinda meh to me.
Then I thought what if the guys are analysts of sorts for the CIA or some agency. They were partying on their day off and were targeted by someone.
But that seemed off to me too. The guys seemed too cocky for that.
So, then I thought what if they were thieves who just had a big score and fled to the Bahamas to celebrate/hide. That could work. But who were the girls? Local girls? Girlfriends?
Maybe they were thieves too? Maybe they were after the guys to get back what they stole.
It was sounding better but something still seemed off.
Then I flipped it around.
What if the girls were the thieves and they were celebrating their big payday?
What if they came down to the islands and they picked up some local boys. The guys are cocky cause they think they’ve hit the jackpot.
That is until someone comes looking for the girls and these guys are cannon fodder.
That could work.
Of course, the other ideas aren’t bad and could/would work fine in other stories.
I’m thinking the girls might be part of the female criminal group called ‘The Lashers’, who are based out in Vegas.
More info on them coming in a future story. ?
