For the past half hour, Janie had been sitting on the beach, watching the waves.  Water both fascinated and scared her, which is why she was at a safe distance.

She wasn't unhappy, but she had doubts about nearly everything in her mind.  She wasn't sure if the yellow boat parked a few hundred yards away was a safe idea or not.

"Um... heh." She looked away for a moment "An ex?"

Robert laughed. "Yeah, huh, something's oddly familiar about that. Anyone I've met?"

"It's not funny! He was nice when I met him... and no. You haven't. The only people who've seen him are Lynn and Phoenix."

"It's not funny unless it's the kind of thing that keeps happening in this family. Then, it's funny. When is he from?"

"It doesn't keep happening." She sighed, crossing her arms. "Um, from Phoenix's world. I worked with him?"

"All right, then. Where do we find him?"

"I don't know." she said, picking the metal off of the body.

It was a medal that she recognized from her time at the agency. "Let's try Mom's shop."

"We need weapons," Robert said.

"There's some there." she said, checking that her knife was still in her boot. "Mom had a cache buried behind self-help books"

"That's the best use for them, ever," Robert said. "Though they also make good tinder."

He got a look around and ended up with a small, high-powered energy weapon.

"Ready when you are."

"Thirty seconds. I need to get rid of the body." With that, Janie and the body were gone.
