A few weeks later Sally lay flat on the top of an office building in Miami and tried not to think what Daisy had planned for her. Billy was to stay in Washington till further notice. He was working on code. Sally was needed to help on a special assignment. Sally had a stealth helicopter waiting behind her and a long-range high-powered assault riffle in her hands. ...

She could make out a black rubber dingy. When it got beside her, a pair of arms reached out to haul her in. She nodded a thank you but didn’t figure it was time to speak. She looked in the direction they were soon heading and saw a boat. A rather large luxury sailing yacht with its sails down.

So here I am on a boat in the ocean, or in and on, Sally thought. The man in the dingy had greeted her just before they reached the yacht. He called himself the captain. He gave no other name and Sally didn’t give her name and was not asked. ...

... Just eye candy.
The first part of the assignment was robbery and reconnaissance. No one died until after the robbery.

Ana Mari was a part time student studying microbiology and molecular physics at Simon Bolivar University. She eventually wanted to study rocket science as well but rocket science was in another country. She was a model and escort at an exclusive agency. There were those who presumed a woman from an escort service was a higher priced prostitute. At Sarah Solomon’s Model and Escort ...

“I was made for this assignment.”
“Good. It sounds like a nice job.”

There was time to learn all there was to learn so after getting an overview of the mission and a look at the stars while lying on deck, they went to sleep in their bunks and woke up to the sun bursting in through the portholes and the smell of coffee. ...

They visited Ana Mari’s apartment before returning to the hotel. Sally noticed a snap shot of the two of them on a beach. She took the photo into the bathroom and looked at it and her reflection together. Ana Mari came in and stood beside her. ...

... “I’m not either. Can’t party and stay fit both. I partied some with you, or Angela, I mean. She partied more than most people. She was a lot of fun. She was determined to party herself to death. I guess she did.”

Back at the hotel Caprice told Sally about Angela’s life. Angela was born in Washington to fairly well off parents that managed to have quite a sum of capital bequeathed to her before they inadvertently both got shot in their heads while travelling at a speed somewhat over the recommend limit and thus, not having working heads, losing control of the German made luxury sedan proceeded to ...

Ryon Servio had a lunch date with a client outside of Caracas and up in the mountain. In the jungle. Natives made a drink not recommended for foreigners. The story was, they chewed various fruits, spit them back in a barrel and let the stuff ferment. The danger was that it was far too easy to drink. The alcohol content was high. The adventurous tourist that bought a bottle usually didn’t get ...

... But even this business deal, Billy had told Sally, might not be the reason for the hit. Billy was still working on the reason. Not specifically for any one target. He wanted his coding to figure it out.

Caprice and Sally slipped into the hut unnoticed and masked. The husband and wife didn’t see or hear them; they were sound asleep from the chloroform soaked into the clean rags that were held over their faces. Not the nicest stuff to inhale but better than having to die. ...

... open and crawl into the driver seat. He wasn’t surprised to find no keys in the ignition. He didn’t care. He knew it was over. He turned the radio on and listened to a jazz station before slipping off into unconsciousness. From whence he would not return.

The crime scene was confusing. The two men appeared to have killed each other over a dispute but there was the problem of the two dead bodyguards and the three witnesses that hadn’t witnessed anything. It didn’t add up. ...

... killing of a couple of people was so common in Caracas that even when it did get to the news, most people would take little notice. No one had taken notice of Caprice and Sally as they rode over the ill managed dirt highway on a 125 Honda. It was a common enough event.

Sally was wondering about Caprice as they watched the surface of the water above them. Hanging out and being friends and assassins was a great way to live. Thrilling. She missed Billy and the professor a bit. She wanted to ask Billy something every few minutes. He wasn’t there. He could be there virtually easy enough. She watched a few bubbles rising to the surface. Focus girl. ...

... “Those fishy things that are soaked in lime juice.”
Caprice smiled, leaned over and kissed Sally.
“But first, I need a little sleep.”

“In the future, when the human race is no longer paranoid and in constant violent competition, the NSA will be an important data bank and search engine. You will be able to search a date with keywords to a conversation you had on the telephone and be able to retrieve that conversation. If you made a date with a friend and forgot to write down what time, or what restaurant, you can find out what was in an e-mail you mistakenly deleted with the spam.” ...

“So, Sally. Are you sure we are going to do this. This thing is not company approved.”
“Billy checked their backgrounds and says they fall within the boarders of collateral damage.”
Caprice laughed. ...

“Oh, that it will.”
“So we’re doing it.”
“Like it already happened.”

A large tent had been erected on the south coast of Aruba in the back yard of one of the most elegant hotels on the island. Security was at a minimum. They were just visiting priests. Security was to assure privacy. ...

... And they talked among themselves in their tent on the beach in the evenings. Drinking a great deal of blood they drained from Jesus.

Caprice and Sally stole a one-engine plane, a bit of a junker, and flew it along the coast then north toward Aruba. They set the direction for the Atlantic before jumping out of the plane. It continued for hours before running out of fuel and crashing into the ocean unseen by anyone other than a couple of drug runners with a speedboat full of cocaine. ...

“That’s my mother given name.”
“I like it. It’s cute like you.”
“Are you coming with me.”
