“What did you want?”

“I’ve managed to break the first few passwords.”

“Well?”

“Tricia is in Hawaii, but I don’t know where.”

“Okay. Keep trying.”

“Well, have fun. Bye.” I shut the box and put it back where I found it.

“Who was that?” My bride asked.

“That was Noah. We’re trying to pinpoint Tricia’s location.”

“What for? You sent her after those two crooks about a week ago. She called just before we got married to tell us that she had tracked them to L.A.” My bride came over, putting her arms around me. “Do you miss her on our honeymoon?”

“Do I hear a ring of jealousy in your voice?”

“No. Just why is it so important that you find Tricia? She’ll call in when we get back.”

“I’ll tell you over lunch.” I said. We got dressed and went out. Going into the dining room, we went to the same table. The two gentlemen did not show up.

“Well?”

“Well– you see– Tricia and I are the only real ones in this game. Or at least I am.”

“Your getting me confused.”

“Me too. No, Tricia and I are the only real ones. Noah is being controlled by the real one from outside, though.”

“So there are only three real people?”

“Essentially. That is why it is so important to find Tricia. Only the three of us working together can get out of this game.”

“Well, you can count on my help.”

“As long as you aren’t being controlled by Matt and Noelle to slow me down!”

“I don’t think so.”

“Well, that was a delicious meal. Shall we go to the pool this afternoon?”

“The pool. Adam, you said you were real.”

“I did.”

“Then you know you can’t swim.”

“I can so. I learned this morning.”

“I’ll have to see it to believe it.” We left the dining room and went to our cabin. I wore a pair of my nylon shorts, since I hadn’t packed a swim suit. My wife got into hers, a one-piece swim suit which I had to zip up. Leaving the cabin with towels around us, we made our way to the pool. We claimed two chairs. There were a bunch of ladies and gentlemen sunbathing in less than modest attire. We made sure to enter the pool, with a splash, around their area. The rest of the afternoon was spent at the pool.

We came back to the cabin to change for dinner. I put on a suit and tie while my bride changed into a flowing gown. “Is something that formal necessary?” I asked.

“We are sitting at the Captain’s table, and I want to make a good impression. But I suppose that because I’m just some holographic image I should go without clothes!”
