Henry

James raised his right eyebrow. He then pointed to the wheelie bin outside the cabin with both eyebrows raised.

John, realising his mistake, made a mildly disappointed expression with his face and gestured to the corpse of a dead girl lying on the floor between them, his arms held out at maximum width.

James nodded and brought his left hand under his chin, thoughtfully.

James began to mime, indicating a large, bulky object with his hands, then prentending to pick up the girl's corpse and drop it into the object, he finished with a grinding arm action, reminiscent of 'The Hustle'.

John's face lit up with recognition. He began miming in excited confirmation, quite enjoying the game caution demanded they play. His palm facing the ground, he put his hand just above his eyes. Then he pointed sternly at the door.

James recognised this as John miming 'like Fargo?' and nodded vigorously.

Down the road from the cabin in which our protagonists have been gesticulating, an unmarked van is parked. Inside the van, there are a number of monitors, speakers and two CIA agents. One of the CIA agents turned to the other and raised a confused left eyebrow.
