Dianne rolled over to see her husband's side of the bed empty. She lay still and listened for a moment, then got up and peered into the bathroom, hoping to see her husband perhaps relaxing in the Jacuzzi. No one was there.

She pulled her green silk bathrobe with the peacock on the back over her skimpy satin chemise and slid her feet into a pair of green silk slippers then headed down the hall to the lounge. Sure enough, there was Jeff, in bathrobe and slippers, silvered hair tousled from sleep, poring over the data padds on his desk. He looked up as the slight noise from the ornate grill between lounge and study announced her arrival.

"Still looking over those pilot recommendations?" she asked as she approached.

Jeff sat back in his chair with a sigh. "Yes. Scott wasn't much help. Though he did mention that a good helicopter pilot that he knew had just signed on at Tracy Industries and we should consider her. But her name isn't in here and I'd like to see her get some flight time with us before she's a candidate. I just don't know how to choose!"

"I understand the dilemma. We will need more than one pilot...."

"Yes, but I want to bring them on one at a time. The pilot is crucial and if the one we choose doesn't make the grade while here, I'd rather as few people go back to civilization with our secrets as possible. Besides, most of these guys and gals are hotshots and mavericks. Their records show it. How would they respond to being asked to ferry kids to a friend's house or Mother to the grocery? Because that would ostensibly be part of their job description here."

"Then don't take a hot-shot or a maverick." Dianne picked up a few clipboards and looked through them. She handed one back to Jeff. "What about this one?"

"Christopher Jordan. Former RAF, been working for Tracy Industries in Europe for several years. Kelly Martin says he was deferential and charming to her. 'Looked to my every comfort'. Hmm. He's had to ferry a lot of people around, but he has the experience with the jets and high-speed aircraft. No complaints about his flying or his interpersonal skills...." Jeff glanced up at Dianne. "You may be on to something here."

"Maybe." Dianne said, smiling as she came around the desk and sat on his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek. Jeff began to feel a familiar heat rise within him.

"Okay, we'll start with him. I'll send off the memo to our people in England, and get him out here within the week." Jeff pressed a couple of buttons on the padd in his hand. It downloaded the file into Jeff's personal computer and shot it off to the people in England, where it was still Monday. "He'll get the message either Monday evening or this morning. Once morning reaches England, of course."

Jeff put the padd down and turned his attention to his wife.

"Now that I've dealt with selecting a new pilot, how do I deal with you?" he teased.

She silenced him with a passionate kiss.

"Come back to our suite and find out," she said breathily. A smile slowly crossed his face. He got up from his chair with one arm firmly around her waist and they returned to their bed to answer his question.
