"Maybe they are coming after me to get you to back off on the project," Jennifer said.

She and London sat on her terrace eating the dinner they'd had delivered. When they'd woken up together that morning, still holding each other in the confined space of the hammock, London had restricted Jennifer to a day of rest. They spent the day lounging around her bungalow, ordering room service and talking about everything from their past lives to London's agricultural project. They were getting to know each other and, in the process, growing closer.

By the time late afternoon had arrived, Jennifer was feeling fine and she and London decided to call room service once again and enjoy another evening looking out at the beautiful Tahitian beach. It was amazing how different a day could feel when you were with someone you cared about. The day before she had been bored to tears after just a few hours on her own. With London there, she couldn't think of anything else she'd rather do.

But as they sat down to eat, she'd noticed London's misgivings from across the table. She knew he was thinking about the threat. In fact, she had known he'd been thinking about it all day but didn't want to bring it up. But the time had come.

He slowly buttered a roll as he mulled over her statement.

"That thought had entered my mind, of course. How could it not after yesterday. And it angers me to even think that you could be targeted because of me," he said tightly.

She reached across the table and covered his hand with her own.

"London, it's not your fault that they felt they could control your actions by coming after me," she said.

"I wish I knew who 'they' are. They make a dirty play then hide behind a smoke screen. Well, their tactics are not going to work. I'll see to that," he said grimly.

"How? You don't even know who attacked me or why. We're only speculating as to the reason," she said.

"I don't have all of the answers," he said. "But I'm confident that they will strike again once they know that I am not backing down. And we have to be ready when they do."

"What if we set a trap?" Jennifer asked. "It would give us the upper hand."

"What kind of a trap?" he asked, intrigued.

"One where we use me as bait," she suggested.

"Absolutely not! Not on your life," he responded.

"Why not? They've already come after me once. It's likely that they'll do so again if you don't back down, which you are not. The next time we will be waiting for them," Jennifer said logically.

"Waiting for who? Us?"

Jennifer's head snapped around at the sound of the familiar voice.

"Beth! Grey!"

Jennifer rose from her seat and propelled herself into Beth's surprised arms. Beth returned her sister's bear hug with utter shock. She couldn't remember the last time she had received a hug from Jen. Or even a "hello" for that matter.

When Jennifer released Beth she moved on to a baffled Grey, chuckling at his bemused expression as she embraced him.
