But we walked directly to the room and once we were in, she locked the door. I was surprised as we had only a double bed and sharing the room with her...would mean sleeping next to her. She took off her shoes and asked me for a t-shirt to change and went to the bathroom.I picked up my spare t-shirt for her to use, placed it near the bathroom and switched on the TV. After 5 minutes, I heard her come out and close the bathroom door.“Srini, look at me,” she said.I turned and saw that she had come. She could feel the rapid river water dragged her body away, but she held tight to the rock. Slowly the water cooled her body and washed away the oil around her suit.After a while she got up and joined Anna near the cave opening. The lake was still burning and the bandits were looking at them, smiling."Again I'm impressed ... You escaped my best trap. But too bad, you can't reach us..." The bandit said."But you can't get out as well..." Anna answered.The bandit lifted a bodysuit. "Asbestos armor. "Good on ya, to broadcast your call, out to the world like that!" I'm pleased to meet you, sir." Bridgett, who'd been cautiously observing the arrival from the relative safety of the RV, came on outside and greeted all three men.They met her and treated her with the courtesy one would have expected -- in the Old World. The New World may be a vastly different place, but, so far at least, the old amenities were being observed.Uncle Harry, it turned out, was 78 years old, and somewhat frail.. The galoot froze an' I grabbed his hat. There was a double-barreled derringer rigged up in the crown."He's got a pistol in his boot, too," the girl said. She reached into the galoot's boot an' brought it out. The two glared at each other an' then a shot rang out. The galoot fell back an' twitched some, then he wuz still. The little girl had shot the galoot dead. There wuz a bloody hole in his chest.As soon as we recovered from our shock, we acted quickly. The girl let me have the gun without.
