“We shouldn’t be seen together any more than necessary,” Natalie said.
“Why not? We’ve shared a breathing apparatus, a fishing boat and a taxi.”
“Still. If there’s a chance of me being taken rather than one of the other girls, I’d rather it was me.”
Duff touched her cheek. “Again, they might not take you. Since we returned to the cave and those thugs fired at us, I’d say there is a strong possibility they’d shoot you rather than take you as a hostage.”
“How else am I supposed to find where they hid my sister? I can almost bet they won’t tell us if we ask.”
“Then we have to find a way to follow them to where they are hiding your sister and the other girls.”
“The longer she’s missing—”
“We’ll find her.” Duff tipped her chin upward and lowered his lips to hers. “I promise.”

“This is the life.” Dutton “Duff” Calloway stretched out on the lounge chair beside the pool and closed his eyes.
Sawyer handed Duff a chilled and fruity Pain Killer drink before easing into the chair beside him. “I’m surprised all four of us were granted leave at the same time.” He pulled the colorful miniature umbrella out of a chunk of pineapple and dropped it on the end table between them.
Duff downed a third of the drink. Normally he preferred an ice-cold beer. But the combination of orange juice, pineapple and whatever else went into the icy concoction was refreshing and helped add to the sense of relaxation he’d hoped to find in Cancun, Mexico. “I didn’t look that gift horse in the mouth. I took the leave and ran.”
“Flew,” Sawyer corrected. “Yeah, I wasn’t questioning our luck, either.”
Duff shaded his eyes and stared past the palm trees to the beach beyond. “Where do you suppose Quentin and Montana got off to?”
“They said something about reserving a diving excursion for tomorrow. I told them to sign us up while they were at it.”
Duff closed his eyes and soaked in the warm rays of sunshine. “Sounds good. After our last mission to clean up that terrorist training camp in Honduras, I’m satisfied to just be a bum and let the hotel staff and excursion coordinators do all the work.”
Sawyer crossed his hands behind his head and leaned back, grinning. “Yeah. This is the life.”
Duff’s grin matched Sawyer’s. “No boss, no guns, no terrorists. Just me, my friends and this...” He lifted the Pain Killer.
