Santa Monica Beach after ten o'clock still had people reveling...
Around several bonfires gathered many young men and women, dancing to the music in their swimwear, drinking beer, the scent of hormones pervading the party scene.
Mountain Eagle strolled up to the edge of the beach, when a girl in a short skirt stood up unsteadily from beneath a tree nearby and wobbled towards the revelers, oblivious to her skirt hitched up by her underwear...
Watching the girl stagger a few meters and then plunge onto the sand, Mountain Eagle made a symbolic gesture to reach out, then hesitated, shook his head, and walked past the girl with her buttocks exposed, strolling along the beach inside the walkway...
A white van drove slowly along the coastal road, the rear doors open, with a young man inside, holding a silenced rifle and dressed in hip-hop fashion.
