They had been floating around for a couple of hours now. The baby had been sleeping soundly, but suddenly awoke with a cry. Kaylea rocked the baby gently.

“We need to have something to feed the baby. I don’t want it to starve to death.”

Kami grabbed one of the bags and rummaged through it. Alexandra followed her example, grunting from time to time. Muscle man looked at her.

“I would really be grateful if you would let me look at it, sweetie.”

Alexandra shook her head.

“I’m sorry... Mark, but I’m not just going to flash everybody in the boat here. It’s probably not as bad.”

Mark looked at her in surprise.

“You know who I am? How do you know?”

Alexandra shrugged. Kami and Kaylea pretended to be currently occupied with other, more important, things.

“We saw you perform in London. Oliver here, too. The only one I don’t know is shark man over there.”

Oliver looked at Alexandra sideways. He didn’t recognize her at all. Alexandra saw him staring at her and gave him a blank face back, even though butterflies were creating a tornado in her stomach. Shark man came too at that moment.

“Where am I?”

He sat up slowly and looked around. He didn’t know any of the people in the little boat they were in, but he knew that they had saved him from the sharks. He looked at Kami and smiled at her. She had been the one that had gone back for him, really.
