"Ya. What do you plan for tonight?" Jon asked happily.
"I hadn't really thought about it," Scott lied.
"Ya, ya. Well, I think you should see our city. Enjoy the unique pleasures Amsterdam has to offer."
"I might take a walk . . . or something."
"Ya, ya, or something. I understand. I will see you tomorrow.
Ya?" Jon said laughing.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world."
"Do one favor?" Jon asked. "Watch your wallet. We have many pickpockets."
"Thanks for the warning. See you tomorrow." Click. I grew up in
New York, Scott thought. Pickpockets, big deal.
