KERRY WAS SPRAWLED, dressed in her dive jacket, savoring the westering sun as they bobbed at anchor just off the reef. If she opened her eyes she could see Biscayne Bay, and when the wind shifted she fancied she heard snatches of music off the beach.

On the table at her left hand was what was left of a platter of fresh seafood, and she picked up her glass of white wine and sipped it.

Dar was lying on her back on one of the cushioned benches, her bare feet draped over the stern, white cotton sweatpants covering her long legs. “What a nice day,” she drawled. “Great seeing those hammerhead sharks, huh?”

“Great getting you silhouetted against them,” Kerry said. “I can also see us spending time at that raw bar near the new office. That platter was awesome.”

“It was.” Dar turned her head and regarded Kerry sleepily. “I have to call Bridges tomorrow. What the hell am I supposed to tell him?”

“No?”

“Agreed, but how do I say no to him and not piss him off to the point he blackballs our nice shiny new company?” Dar asked. “I’d like to pick up Gerry’s new contracts. That’ll be a pretty good bootstrap for us.”

Kerry pondered the question. “Can you say no to his czar idea, but still do the programming for him?”

Dar half sat up. “Ker, that’s the part I don’t want any part of.”

“Mm...yeah I know.” Kerry got up and picked up a lonely looking oyster, bringing it over and offering it to Dar’s lips. “But you know, I was thinking. He’s going to get that program done no matter what you say. Could you do it so that it wouldn’t be so scummy?”

Dar swallowed the oyster, and licked her lips.

“I mean...” Kerry sat down on the edge of the bench and leaned her arm across Dar’s hips. “Think about it, hon. What he’s talking about might have caught those guys before they blew up those planes, you know? Is there a way to do it that protects everyone but the bad guys?”

She saw the wheels turning behind those baby blues. “No one else he asks is going to give a crap.”

“That’s probably very true,” Dar answered slowly. “I don’t know. Depends on how much control he allows over it. Let me think about it.”

Kerry leaned over and pulled up her sweatshirt, giving her a kiss on the navel. Then she put her cheek down on the spot and gazed quietly up at her partner, knowing a moment of surprising content, given everything going on. “I know there’s a lot of unknown in our path right now, but I’m really excited about it.”

Dar smiled gently at her, reaching over to push a bit of thick, blonde hair out of her eyes. “I’m kinda jazzed about it too,” she admitted. “All this time, I had to deal with whatever it was ILS decided to do. Now...it’s scary, but interesting to know we have to make our own decisions and live with what happens from them.
