Tropical Heat

Whilst Yasmin, a new waitress at the Tropical Heat Bar is working, two Middle Eastern type thugs appear and try to abduct her. In the ensuing disturbance, Nick has to use a wooden tray as a shield when a big sharp pointy knife is thrown at him. The abductors flee after their failure, and afterwards, Yasmin tells Nick that they probably work for Jabril, a dangerous man who thinks that she has secrets pertaining to a certain Middle Eastern government (her homeland). As Nick feels he might be out of his depth with sensitive international issues, he and Sylvie go to see a US government expert in such delicate matters, the enigmatic, charming and suspicious Jack Laslo. Then the case and Yasmin's life are placed in jeopardy when Sylvie uncharacteristically loses her professional focus and falls for Laslo's charms.
