Approached by the staff at the beach equipment shop

There was a voice next to you as you settle down from the long conversations you were having with Linda. Leaning up and putting up your sunglasses, you noticed that one of the locals was standing there, and from the board shorts he was wearing, he must be from the equipment hire place by the hut. He excuses himself in broken English, and motions towards the shop, making some form of gesture. You assumed that he was trying to get you to hire something from him. Linda gave him a shrug, turning to you to make the decision. She says to you that she was more than happy to do something interesting besides laze around all day. With a happy response, you don't see the fault in doing something active. The two of you get up to follow him.

The shop was a small hut laden with inflatables, surfboards, beach balls and various other beach items typical of what a resort would have. There were 3 other local men there, standing around and greeting you kindly when you come closer. You were not particularly sure what to choose from. You were spontaneous with a whole bunch of things if the flight suits your fancy, but this time around, you just did not have the impulse. Should you float in the ocean to relax? Play volleyball to get your mind off things? For some reason, you can't seem to decide, even after referring back to Linda who was following close behind you.

You could hear her chatting away with one of the men there as if she knew him personally, which she certainly did not since you would recognize them immediately. Things were becoming a little suspicious. Before you could turn around to take a step towards her, your ears picked up the sound of the dull thud of music.
