The government agent Jack first talks to in Blackwater, Howard Sawicki, directs him to Ross's cabin out on Lake Don Julio, where he is spending his retirement years with his wife.
Jack first meets Emily on the cabin's porch, where she vents her worries to him about her husband regarding the Bureau continuing to harass him for work.
