"F-fake . . . what do you mean?"
"It's not important now. Hey, do you feel like a swim?"
Erin shrank back. Her dream! It was her dream! "Don't touch
me," she said to him in a low, shaking voice. "I've already sent
for the police, your signal blocker isn't working."
"That's a lie."
"You don't know that!"
"I know you, sugar." He grinned.
Erin was desperately calling out for TIM, but the interface
signal was completely blocked.
"This is your pole," he said, indicating one of the fishing
guns. He turned and casually fired it out over the water. The
harpoon shot out in a great arc, trailing strong, dangerously thin
monofilament. He held it out for her, and said, "Here."
She made no move to take it.
He shrugged, and put it in a holder. Then he turned and

We can survive it. What's there to be afraid of?"
"Why are you doing this?" she screamed at him, her voice
cracking. Tears streamed and her nose was running.
"I mean, all that'll happen is you'll get into a new,
younger body," he said. "You'll only be away from the business for
a few days."
"I don't want to die!" she cried.
"Come on, Erin. Get into the water, let's get this over
with."
"I don't want to drown!"
"You won't drown, I promise. I've made sure it'll be
absolutely painless. You see, this is going to be a fishing
accident. You're going to fall overboard while we're fishing. My
lure is going to mistake you for a fish. The lure will hit you in
