“I know that look, Jac. What's bothering you?" David came in to my cabin, carrying the tracking device.

“We’re being watched. It would be best if we left today.”

David wrapped his arms around me, holding the tracking device up in front of my nose. “For you my dear. Fully calibrated.” I turned around within the circle of David's arms and kissed him. "I'm still sifting through the history lesson your friend gave. Fallen Angels? Really?"

"It is an entertaining history to be sure. But you did ask, and he is well versed in Catholic theology and history." David bent his head down and kissed my forehead. "Just be safe, would you? I worry about you, you know."

I stroked the side of his face, smiling up into his eyes. "As safe as I can be, mon chéri."

We fell into each other's arms, his lips crushing against mine. Danger had its downsides, but it had its compensation as well. Just as I felt David's hands start to slide up under the edges of my shirt, Niccolò burst through my door.

"Captain! Captain!" He slid to a stop in front of the two of us. "Captain! That Guard Captain from before." Looking back and forth from David to myself he stopped, stammered, and blushed furiously. "Um. Perhaps now is not a good time." He started to back out of the room.

"Niccolò!" I said, more sharply than I intended. "If you thought it was important enough to come bursting in, then tell me what it is."

He stopped backing up and took a deep breath, still red to the ears. "Captain. I saw the guard captain from the Vatican. He's here.” He took another deep breath. "I don't think he saw me. Or if he did, I don't think he recognized me, but he is headed this direction."

I grimaced and untangled myself from David. "Thank you for bringing this to me so quickly."

Niccolò stood up a little straighter, ignoring our disarranged clothing. "Yes, but it will take him a while to get here. The Airfield Master is walking with him."

"Merde. Do you know where Tyler is?" I combed my fingers through my hair to straighten it. Turning to David, I said, "I'm sorry, mon chéri, it may be nothing, but I have to look into this."

David smiled, hiding any annoyance. "We can pick this up again later."

I gave him a quick kiss and followed Niccolò up on deck, slipping the tracking device into my pocket.
