"Mmmmm," Dianne moaned as her mother rubbed and massaged her shoulders. "That feels good."

"You're very tense, Di." Lisa Parkhurst's thumbs rubbed over a particularly knotty muscle, smoothing it down into relaxation. "How did the rescue go?"

"Pretty well. Mine collapse outside of Kiev. Ten people missing. We pulled out six survivors and four bodies," Dianne explained as she rolled her shoulders then let her mother move in again to massage more. "I'm glad we found them all and quickly, too. Virgil was really tired from all the extra work the boys put in to finish the monorail extension." She smiled. "Maybe you should offer him your services as a masseuse."

"Perhaps I will," Lisa said off-handedly.

"Are the new recruits settling in?"

"Seem to be. No loud arguments about the accommodations. I think they're still all awestruck."

"Probably. Did John tell Kat?"

"Yes, he did. Took her on the tour. Cherry passed on the word that Kat's staying."

"Good. We need her."

The two women were silent for a while as Lisa continued to erase the tension from her daughter's shoulders.

"When is Jeff due back?"

"Sometime tomorrow, I hope. It's still Friday in the States, I think. This time zone and International Date Line stuff is hard to keep track of."

Lisa chuckled. "You're telling me? I'm always just about to pick up the phone when suddenly I have to stop and think: what time is it there and is it tomorrow yet?"

The two women laughed. Dianne turned to her mother.

"I see you've already buzzed the boys' hair."

"Yes, I have. Sometimes, I think that the only reason you haul me out here is to cut and style the family's hair."

"What? What makes you think that? You've got a beau out here, or don't you remember?"

"I remember. That's why I said, 'Sometimes'."

They laughed together again and Dianne got up from the sitting room sofa.

"I think a soak in the Jacuzzi is in order. Oh, I can hardly wait for tomorrow."

Lisa reached out and embraced her daughter. "I know. He'll be home as soon as he can, Dianne."

"Yes, he will. It's just hard to wait when I miss him so."

Lisa headed for the door. "I think that I'll check in on Virgil and Scott and see if they could use some loosening up. Goodnight, Dianne."

"Goodnight, Ma," Dianne said as she headed for her bathroom and the soothing Jacuzzi.
