A rapid series of hand signals communicated what I knew.He quickly stripped down to his BVDs and I did the same. I posted Matt and one other as backup... then on our bellies, Gunny and I slipped into the water of the pool. We surfaced once, beneath the falling water, to get our bearings, then swam quickly beneath the surface, knives in hand, to where the couples were intertwined with each other. The view in the fading light was anything but clear, but I found the couple who were my target. I. It didn't matter,it was all bloody anyway. The force of the magic lifted me off of theground, and burned more painfully than I could ever have imagined.

I smiled and nodded at Jorg, then grabbed my jacket.'Atta girl.' He grinned. 'So, who around here serves real food?'I took him to Franco's Ristorante, a nice Italian place a few.
