”“It wouldn’t be right for me to leave you hanging,” Shan replied. “I have an IUD, so I’m not worried about getting pregnant. The program ...ests us regularly because of our labs and dealing with bodies, so I know I’m clean, too.”“Ok. I’m good with that,” I said. “Shall we move to your bedroom?”“How about we just do it here on the couch?” She said. I nodded. “That’s fine, too.” We put our beer cans on the bar and moved into her living room to stand in front of her sofa.For a moment we just stood. Peter nodded. “Come on, we need to talk.” He picked up his wine glass and the bottle and led Helen into the living room. She followed him and sat next to him on the couch. He refilled their glasses.“Okay,” he continued. “I’ve been married twice. The first time was shortly after I graduated college. My girlfriend and I got married right before I entered med school. We lasted until graduation, then she split when she saw my workload was even worse as an intern.”“No children?” asked Helen.“Not. She looked so hot laying there completely oblivious to my stares, or at least I thought. Her sunglasses hid her eyes, but I thought I caught her checking out my thickness, now evident underneath my suit. The beauty of our paradise was it was private with a few houses down the hill and a few to either side, but the pool area was private and perfect for sunbathing sans clothes. I slipped out of my suit and hung it next to her top on the railing. I offered to put some sunscreen on her and since. Therefore, I could hang on to the safety railing with one hand and shoot with the other.As the first flying machine came past me, I snapped off a shot at the pilot. I must have scored a fatal hit with that shot because his flying machine began to tumble in the air as if there were no one in control. I quickly fired a second shot at a different flying machine. I don't know where I scored the hit, but the machine suddenly belched black smoke and exploded only a few seconds later.Two down and one.
