have found her, alive,” the voice replied.  Rick stopped dead.
    “You a re fucking joking?” he asked.
    “No Sir, I’ll send you a picture.  She is in a coma, in a downtown hospital.   The staff, say she was washed up on the beach, with no ID.”  Rick glanced over to Sarah she was lying on her back, taking in the sun’s rays.  His phone bleeped.  His looked at the picture, and then quickly flicking through his photos, he checked it against the one he had.
    “It is her,” he confirmed.  “I want you to arrange her transport in my jet, bring her back to the city hospital in London. Pay her hospitals fees where she is now.”
    “Sir, there is something else.  After a little gentle persuasion, the owner of plane Hire Company confirmed it was not one of their pilots, who took them out.  Someone paid them a lot of money to let him take the plane with the girls.  He says the pilot bailed out, and the plane crashed, his company was heavily compensated for the loss of the plane.  Rick, it was a hit, you were right.”  Rick’s fists clenched tightly.
    “Well done Mark, be careful okay, check in when you have sorted transport .  Make sure you fly the plane yourself okay, do not allow anyone on board you do not know, if he finds out she is still alive, he will come after her.  Get Andy to dig as deep as he can, find some evidence.”
    “ Yes sir. - Sir?”  Mark questioned.
    “Yes?”
    “If he thinks she is dead, he is going to go after the sister and then you.”  Rick glanced over to her again.
    “I know ; she is with me.  I think he has already sent two goons, but I have dealt with them.”  He hung up.  Wandering back to her, he sat down and put his phone back in his rucksack.
    “Okay?” she asked.
    “Yeah, it’s nothing,” he brushed off casually.  “Fancy a swim?” he asked.  She looked over the top of her sunglasses at him.
    “Sure, why not.”  She jumped up , threw her sunglasses down, and followed him into the water.  They waded in to their waists.
    “It is cold,” she shivered, as she attempted to dunk herself, underneath. Rick did not hear as he had already swum off, further out to sea.  His mind was full of worry; he was going to have to tell her, but how?  Finally, under the water, Sarah swam over to him, and they treaded water together.
    “Are you sure you are alright Rick?” she asked, he had turned very quiet since that phone call.  He grinned at her, and shook his worrying thoughts from his mind.
    “Sure, come on, I’ll race you to the shore,” he challenged.   Laughing, she swam after him, she was a strong swimmer, and soon over took him.  Emerging out of the water, she stood with her hands on her hips waiting for him.
    “Well there you go,” he said as he waded out.  “Already I know a little more about you.  You are an excellent swimmer.”
    “A junior and senior champion,” she added with a chuckle, as she grabbed her towel and wiped her face.  She dropped down onto the blanket and he poured her another glass of wine.  Sitting down beside her, he gazed at her.  She swallowed a little nervously, as she sipped her wine, her eyes lifting to his as she felt the energy bouncing between them.
    “Sarah, you are so beautiful,” he said , as he lifted a hand to her cheek.  He swept back her long wet hair, and ran a hand across her shoulder.  She blushed, and then as he pulled her closer and kissed her. She dropped her glass, as her arms clasped around him, and she held him tight.  Rick deepened their kiss and they lay down on the rug, his hand cupped her bottom and he pulled her in even closer.  His hand moved up her back and his fingers pulled at the ties of her bikini.  Sarah ran her hand across his back, her fingers lightly following the curve of his spine until it rested on his bottom.  Undoing her bikini Rick slipped his hand around to her front and cupped her breast, his fingers teasing at her nipple.
