Kaine went out to the beach, looking for the umbrella the girl had described. He saw it not too far away and made a beeline for it.
There was a woman just getting out from under it, having packed up a little box. She started to take it down.
"Excuse me?"
"Sorry," she said, not turning around from taking down the umbrella. "I', finished for today."
"I just want to ask something. Are you Lana Greene?"
She turned and saw him her eyes widening, then tackled him, hugging him tightly. She started speaking excitedly in a language Nikki probably wouldn't know, Kaine responding in kind.
Lana was a woman in her forties with very light blonde hair and the same jade eyes as Kaine. She looked full of life and incredibly overjoyed.
"Without heroes we are all plain people and don't know how far we can go."
