"Quo vadimus?"
Brendan turned around on his heel and looked at Randy, who was peering at a map of London as if it were a complex math equation. "Come again, mate?"
"It's Latin. It means where are we going," came the reply, as the younger man finally gave up and tucked the map back into his back pocket. "What?" he said, noting that Brendan and even Tara were looking at him curiously.
"I didn't know you spoke Latin."
"A little bit. I took a class in college. When I said I was bilingual, I meant that I speak Mandarin Chinese."
Brendan snorted. "That must come in real handy at work."
He shrugged. "On occasion. We do have Chinatown. Now, do you have any idea where we're going? Because I am totally lost, and you're the one who lives here."
"Of course I know where we're going. I'm not gonna lead you around in circles. Now, Buckingham Palace is right down this street and around the corner..." Brendan continued, picking up the pace again as they continued down the scenic walkway they had been on for the better part of twenty minutes. "You wanna translate when we get there?"
Randy snorted. "I'm gonna regret telling you that."
