“I want him destroyed!” Bev shouted at Gerald. They had gone to the roof garden of Sabine’s condo for a more private conversation. Tauni Cerise was a trusted individual, but they didn’t want to give her too much information. “He is dangerous and…”

“Calm down, you’re disturbing the neighbors.”

Bev looked around her and all she saw was pigeons and roosting seagulls. This made her laugh, and with the laughter her blood pressure went down. “All I know is that he isn’t going to stop. He is a psychopath with a lot of ley power fueling him. Also he’s dripping in money, and in this country, money buys power.”

“I have my people looking into him. In the meanwhile, I have sent Captain Duda and his family on a Disney cruise and replaced them with a few, let’s say, gentlemen who would love to have the opportunity to be of service as long as violence was involved.” Gerald was a chess master and hoped that he was at least two steps ahead of this beast. He still didn’t have a name for this man who was cloaked with shell companies and aliases. But no one was untouchable. One just had to find the crack in the foundation and then exploit it.

“There are people enslaved on that island. In this day and age, slavery! It disgusts me.”

Gerald rubbed his jaw, noting the day’s growth of beard. “That is going to be a delicate situation. I have some ties into the state department, but there are no promises that once we liberate those people, they won’t be sent back to their countries of origin.”

“Do your best. The feelings of despair and apathy have reduced them to automatons.” Bev looked over at her friend. Outwardly he was in control, but she sensed that inside he was in turmoil. A hundred plans forming, reforming, shifting, rejecting and more materializing.

“Are you reading my mind?” he directed this thought to her.

“Well, yes,” she answered aloud. “I’m sorry. I didn’t realize what it must be like to be you.”

“I beg your pardon,” he said sharply.

“Don’t be insulted. What I’m trying to say is that I take for granted, hell we all do, that you can fix anything. What we don’t take into account is the toll it takes on you. I’m sorry for assuming that you will come through for me, no matter how I treat you.”

Gerald’s face softened. “I do it because I love you, Beverly Cooper.”

“I know you love me, stupid man.” Bev moved towards him. “You have excellent taste, but I can’t be all you want me to be.”

“But, Bev, I’m not asking you to be anyone else but who you are. I just want you to be with me.” He took her in his arms and kissed her tenderly.

The pigeons cooed and the gulls quieted. Thoughts of love and lovemaking passed back and forth in their minds. Without more than a kiss, Bev was taken away and her knees went soft. Gerald hardened and drew her more closely as their souls merged in a joining that was beyond the physical.
