My vibrating alarm watch wakes me from fitful sleep, and I stretch and move to get some of the kinks out. Opening up one of the tins of food I found, I dine on cold spaghetti and meat balls. While not my favorite, it will satiate my growing hunger pangs for a while. Carefully, I bury the can in dirt at the back of the cave. Perhaps some archeologist will find it some day?

In the midst of folding up my insulating sheet, I hear splashing! There is Lucia, looking somewhat the worse for wear, splashing in the ocean about 40 yards down the beach! What an odd and fortunate coincidence! Fortunate for me, that is.

Settling down to wait, I peek in my pocket mirror around the corner at her quite sexy body; she may not be my exact choice among women, but I can understand why Jason enjoyed her so. She dresses in her sun-warmed clothes and looks in a couple caves, perhaps searching for me? She disappears into one cave not far from me and does not come out. Quietly, I gather up my stuff and repack my backpack. Dropping to the beach, I move along the rocks in her direction; my infra-red glasses help me find the cave she is in. Reaching the edge of the cave, I peek around the edge with my mirror.

She is sleeping soundly, but she has a few simple traps which might make it hard to get to her. I choose to come back later, and move away across the island to search some more, erasing my tracks with a fully-leafed branch, wiping until they are gone. The cliff face is tough to climb, but slow and steady gets me to the top. Lo and behold! Yet another opponent approaches across the rough ground on the Manor side of the hills.
