Fortunately, I didn't see anyone I knew as I made my wayquickly to the cabin.Hanging up all the clothes, and putting my shoes away, I set up thelittle...desk in my room as surveillance central. Quickly I turned on allmics, cameras, and GPS to the girl's phones, carefully writing downplans they had for the trip. Each night they partied, drinking anddancing with as many guys as possible. Sleeping late every day, theywould skip breakfast, then waste the afternoon away sunbathing on thetop deck. One. Any chance of getting a nuclear disarmament agreement through the US Congress was slim to none as Aaron Bronstein phrased it.Any guesses concerning other nations that held nuclear stockpiles were even less optimistic. The US was among the five nuclear non-proliferation treaty nations, with the UK, France, the Russian Federation, and China.China and Russia had rebuffed the Masi'shen requests for meetings of either an informal or ambassadorial level. In the absence of any dialog, it seemed likely. Carole was amazingly understanding and made no comments that would add to my disgrace. What was most humiliating though was hearing her tell me not to worry 'that it could happen to anyone' because given what I knew about her I was sure that I was the first she'd tried to do it with who didn't perform. Indeed, after a few more evenings of failed attempts on my part she began to have diplomatic headaches so that there would be an excuse for me not to try and so it was that our honeymoon played. Shaking off the sleep still left in my mind I turned and walked down to the lake. I had time to kill so I stripped the pants off and waded out into the water until the waters had reached my waist, then I dove into the water. I was swimming slow circles in the water when I sensed her presence nearby. I can’t describe in human dialect how I knew she was present, it is that sense between feeling and hearing that humans refer to as ESP or ‘being watched.’ A demon, or an angel or any creature.
