I was enjoying my win, thinking about the shopping I could do. When something caught my eye. A man in black was standing next to one of the doors. He looked like he could be security. But there wasn't anyone else around.

I was listening to Max and Sara talking. But I was watching the man. One thing I've learned while working security was to trust my gut. He scanned the room, when he noticed I was watching him. He looked me right in the ears. I knew at once, who he was. And he knew that I knew who he was. He turned and walked out of the dining room. I pushed my chair back.

"Baby?" Ricky asked me.

"Sorry I just need to use that bathroom." He nodded and let me walk away. I walked out of the door he just walked out. When I knew no one was watching, I broke in a run. When I past a corner I saw him, he was still walking away.

"Chris." I called out. He slowed but didn't stop. I held out my hand and put up a shield in front of him. He hit it and stopped. I slowed down and walked over to him. "Chris," I said again. He turned around and faced me.

"Julia," He said right back. 10 years sure did make him grow up.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked him.

"Working." I started laughing. Then I saw he was telling the truth.

"Working on this ship, I know you're not ship security. So please explain what your job is on this ship." He looked down at me.

"What are you doing on this ship and how do you know I'm not security?"

"Because Mr. Peterson the owner would not have hired you. One because of who you are and two because you've worked with a government. You also aren't wearing a name tag, should I go on. I don't have to explain anything to you."

"And I don't have anything to explain to you." He said and turned around. He hit my force field again.

"I still have a promise to make up to you. I told you that if you ever hurt my brother I would hurt you. While we're on this ship, there isn't much I can do. But if I see you again, I will. Stay away from my family. Whatever you're doing here, keep that away from my family also." I turned around and walked away. When I walked around the corner I put the field down.

I smiled once I hit the dining room and walked back over to the table. Ricky was watching me closely. I leaned over and kissed him. I know he was watching me. I would talk to him later. I picked up my glass and took a drink.

"We're going to head in early, thank you for dinner Peter." Ricky said.

"Don't thank me," I let Ricky help me up. I kissed Peter on the check and let Ricky walk me out.

"Who did you run after?" Ricky asked once we were out of the dining room.

"A long lost friend." He stopped us and looked down at me.

"He's here?" I nodded and started walking again.

"He doesn't know Peter's here, that's a good thing. Peter's finely moving on." I was pissed off. Ricky held me close and walked us back to our room. He opened the door and walked me in.

"You want to know where he is?" Ricky asked me as I slipped off my shoes. I looked up at him and he was leaning against the closed door.

"Do you know?" He folded his arms and nodded. "You don't want me to, why?"

"Because I see how hurt you are over this. I've seen how hurt you've been over him not being in your life. I'll tell you where he is, but you can't do anything." I thought about it and stood up.

"This should have been a really romaine week." He came over to me and kissed me.

"It will be," He pulled back and let me get dressed. He handed me a ear piece. I put it in my ear and disappeared. He opened the door and walked out. I slipped out behind him and walked back down the hallway.

"You'll walked to go down four floors." He told me. It stopped at a map and did what he said.

"Baby, we'll go shopping tomorrow." Ricky said when he knew I stopped in front of a store window. I started walking again and followed his directions. I ended up on the deck outside. Slowly I made my way over to Chris. He was leaning against the railing smoking.

I stood there watching him. He looked at his watch more times than I thought he would need to.

"In coming." Ricky said.

"You're late." Chris said.

"Your early, why did you call me here?" I took a step back.

"I'm here to watch one super; you did not inform me there were more than one here." Chris said.

"Your job is to watch and keep that one super in line. No one else matters. You know your job, do your job."

"How many are on this ship?" Chris asked, but he got in the other man's face.

"Two don't matter you to. One is here to do a job, that will include your mark and another. You will stay out of his way to do his job."

"You pulled me here, gave me almost no information and think that will fly. Diesel you know me better than that. Give me one good reason why I should walk away now?" Chris asked him.

"The man you're watching could bring the super's world crashing down. Keep your man in line, that's all. No one else matters." Diesel said. But I could see he was looking over to where I was.

"Fine a new lap dog." Chris flicked his smoke over the side, walked passed me and inside.

"Start yelling now, I can feel you from here." Diesel said. I pulled back and punched Diesel in the face. "What the hell was that for?" He asked as he rubbed his jay. He looked around waiting for me to show myself.

"Your still here Julia."

"Show yourself if you want, your safe." Ricky told me. I showed myself.

"I don't even know how I trusted you." I told him.

"I'm very trust worthy." He said and was still rubbing his face.

"You're blackmailing my brother, into working for you. Couldn't you just get the hint that he doesn't want anything to do with you? And when he finds out about this," I shook my head.

"About what?" He asked.

"Peter's never told you why he won't work for you or any other government has he. If I were you, don't tell him who your lap dog is and you better make fucking sure he doesn't see him while he's cleaning up your dirty work. You sure are a bastered." I shook my head and walked away from him.

"Julia," He called after me.

"What,"

"You should ask your brother what he's cleaning up. Because it's not my mess." I pulled opened the door and followed Ricky's directions back to our room. He opened the door and pulled me to him.

"I'm sorry baby."

"I really wish my powers were dangerous." He kissed my head.

"No you don't baby, I love you."

"I love you also Ricky."

Sam was watching them walk away and she was worried. I took a drink of my wine and waited for her to ask.

"Did I do something wrong?" She asked. I filled up her glass.

"No something else is bothering her. Ready to turn in?" I asked her. She took a drink and thought about it.

"No, let's take a walk." I got up and she handed me my wine glass. Put her arm around mine and lead me where she wanted to go. We walked out on the main desk.

"You really did something different with this ship." She told me.

"And it was cheap." She laughed with me. As we were walking around, music started playing. Now I understood why she wanted to come out here. I took our drinks and sat them on a table, then pulled her in front of me.

"If you wanted to dance all you had to do was ask." I told her. She let me lead her over the floor.

"Do you know how hard it is to find a boyfriend like you? Why do all the good guys have to be gay?" She said. I looked down at her and smiled.

"Not all of them are, give it some time and you'll find out who you're looking for." We danced a few songs, and then I lead her off the floor.

"Now I'm ready to go to bed,"

We walked into our room and got ready for bed. We've sleep together many times. It doesn't bother me at all, but every time. Her mind works around if she should be doing this or not. When she's done, I pulled her to me and fell asleep.

The next morning I woke up and rolled over. Sam wasn't there. I opened my eyes and looked around. There sitting on a chair outside was Sam. She was holding a cup of coffee looking at the ocean. I got up and leaned against the door frame.

"Been awake long?" I asked her.

"The sun comes up really early." I nodded and saw the folder sitting on the table next to her. She looked up at me and saw what I was looking at. "That's very detailed." She said.

"Happened with your working with supers. Tonight, I'm going to have to disappear for a few minutes." She picked up the folder and read throw it. She held up a picture, of who I was going to push tonight.

"Is that who you're going to find tonight?" She asked me. I flipped the page over and pointed out the time and place. "Why did you pick that one?" She asked me.

"I can be hidden while I read his thoughts. If I need to know more all I have to do is bump into him. Then push the thought into his head. Tomorrow I'll do this man. Same kind of thing. On day four I'll do the woman. She's not a super, but knows about us." I told her as I was pointing everything out.

"You need my help on that one don't you?" She asked me.

"Yes, I was going to talk to you about that. You did say you wanted to watch." Her face light up.

"Tell me more later. What did you want to do today?" She asked me.

"What," I started and looked back at the door. I turned around and opened the door. Julia was standing there with her arms folded. I couldn't hear what she was thinking, but I did know she was pissed off. Then she started tapping her foot.

"You're working?" She asked me.

"That shouldn't be surprising, I won the ship and its first curies. There's bound to be times where I'm needed and fix things." I told her. She glared at me.

"That's not what I'm talking about." Throw the door I heard Ricky's thoughts.

We had a visit from Diesel. I looked back down to Julia. Moved aside and let her walk in. I saw Sam look back at us.

"Yes, I'm working. But you'll never know I'll be gone or what I'm doing. Why does this upset you so much?" I asked her.

"Because you should have to do this. They black mail you, I hate this." She started pacing.

"I know, but they did find a very good thing to black mail me with. It's three short things, it's needed Julia." She glared at me.

"You're not the only mind reader out there. Why do they have to come to you?"

"Because I can be blackmailed, I only help when I can't say no. This time is one of them."

"What is so important?" She said and throw her hands up. I grabbed her hand and pulled her to a stop, then pushed pictures into her head. She gasps and tied to pull away. I held onto her and let her see why I took the job.

"Oh god, who would do that?"

"That's what I'm going to make sure doesn't happen. Are you better now?" I asked her.

"Don't ever do that again." She hugged me.

"Just a tease of what I can do, Sam just asked what we were going to do?" I asked her.

"Swimming, shopping and eating." Julia asked and looked over at Sam.

"Sound fun, I know a great place to eat." Julia said she would be ready in a minute.

"Did you bring money?" I asked Sam. She got up and came inside. I waited for her to answer. She put the folded on the table. She grabbed some things and walked into the bathroom. I smiled and shocked my head. I grabbed the envelope out of my suit case, when she walked out I slipped it into her wrap. Then walked into the bathroom and changed myself.

"Peter?" She questioned me.

"That's your bounce, have fun shopping with it." I said as I walked out.

"This is a lot of money."

"You did the math on how much money this will bring me in. That is just a little, compared to that." She thought about it. Then hugged me.

"You want me to carry this around with me?" I pointed to her purse, then pulled on my shirt. She was putting her money away. We slipped a pair of shoes on, she handed me my wallet and sun glasses.

"What will I ever do without you?" I asked as we walked out.

"Go belly up," She laughed. Julia was standing in the door way to her room with her mouth open. "Coming?" Sam asked as she walked away. We followed her to this really nice outside dinner. We ordered and waited for our food.

"I never got the story about how you two meet?" Julia asked. I gave her a look.

"I put an ad in the newspaper." I told her. Her mouth dropped opened again.

"I was working for this jerk, but he paid better than most. When I had enough, I started checking for a new job. I read throw the paper almost everyday. I saw Peter's add and called him. I couldn't believe this high school kid wanted to hire a personal assistant. But he paid even better and I actual have a job to do." Sam told her.

"You had a personal assistant in high school?" Ricky asked me.

"Never wonder where Mr. Peterson came from. I started my company the summer before my last year of high school. When I got over loaded with both, I started looking for someone to help. That's where Sam came into play. After school I moved to New York." I shrugged.

"Did dad know?"

"I don't know, but he did do the back ground check on Sam for me. If he did, he didn't say anything about it."

"Why did you get into curse?" Ricky asked me.

"We went on one when I graduated, I liked it and worked towards owning one."

"What does you company do?" Julia asked.

"It works in a few different fields. The building that you came to see Peter is his." They looked at her then me.

"What I get bored," I shrugged.

"He started out just playing around with the stock market. That lasted almost two years. Then moved onto law, I think that mostly came into play. Because we got sued. That only lasted long enough for him to know everything about it. Marking was next, that turned into owning an magazine. That's when he got into cruises. He's been doing that ever scenic. But bought out an travel agencies." Sam told them.

"In 10 years you've been throw 7 different jobs?" Ricky asked.

"I still own all of them, I would have more money now. But I bought each business with my own money. I might do some pushing, but I still play them what it should be worth." I told them.

"How do I not know all of this about you?"

"You work all around the world, come home for holidays and that's it." I shrugged at her.

"How many ships do you own?" Ricky asked.

"This is number three. The first one is a little smaller than this one, it's for families. Packed full of fun. The second one is able half this size, it's mostly a dentation ship. You're off the ship more than on it. Then this one." Sam told them.

"This took me the longest and cost most then the other two. I'll give it some time to make me my money back, before I move on. I don't know what I'm going to do next." I told them and thought about it.

"What's left to do?"

"Don't say that, I did once and it wasn't pretty." Sam made face. Our food came and we started eating.

"What happened?"

"He bought a book stories and locked himself in it. That's when he took up marking. Never understood why."

"You own a book store?" Ricky asked.

"I sold it after I was done with it. Sam ran the numbers and it would have went under within 6 months. Not worth keeping." I said to them. They just looked at me like I lost my mind.

"You're more than an personal assistant, aren't you?" Julia asked her.

"Yes and no," Sam said and shrugged.

"She's as close to a partner as she'll allow herself to be. We set it up so every time I've moved on, there's someone to make sure everything runs how I want it. She over looks everything for me also." I told them.

"That's a lot for one person to do,"

"You watched me working, it's really not a lot." Sam told them.

"We set it up so there isn't a lot for either of us to do. We tried it another way and couldn't get anything else done. Now are we done talking about my business, because I would like to go swimming?" I left a tip on the table as we walked away.

"Why are they so surprised?" Sam asked me.

"I don't talk about my business." I told her. She gave me a look. The girls found a set of chairs, We took off our over clothes and get into the pool. It was fun and we all played around. When the girls were done swimming, we got out. They went off to do some shopping. Ricky and I sat down.

"Why don't you talk about your business?" He asked me. A woman came over and asked if we needed anything. We gave her our drink orders.

"There are times where I use my gifts to get me what I want. I don't want to explain that. You guys haven't asked either."

"Your mom does the same thing." I nodded, he was right.

"I don't like or want to boost. Before I took this ship on I was pretty well off. Maybe even more so off them dad." Our drinks came.

"Are you going to leave things like they are now, or are you going to go into a new field?" He asked me.

"I don't know, I want to make back my money before I go into anything to big. But that's not hard if I do it my way. Sam would rather I wait. We've been working on this ship to long and both could use a brake."

"If you weren't gay would things be different between you two?" I smiled.

"Most already think there is more between us. Sam has a way of dating crazy's, when that happens the door man tell them she's my husband. She also makes me go to all kinds of evens, on top of that we live together." I told him.

"You live together?" He couldn't believe that.

"At first it was because I wouldn't let her live where she was. Throw out the years I've moved out and moved her back in with me. If I wasn't gay I don't think she wouldn't be working with me. She makes sure my business runs and I make sure she's safe."

"You have feeling for her thought don't you?"

"We've been together a long time. But it's nothing more than sisterly love. I would have made her a partner year ago if she would let me. But she already thinks I do too much for her. It's only a matter of time, she'll see it my way."

"Have you ever pushed her?" I nodded at him.

"A few times to save her from hurt. Not before asking her first. When she noticed I had gifts she didn't care. Still doesn't, she's seen me pull off some thinks that would be questionable. Never walked away from working with me. She does ask to use them sometimes." He looked at me.

"What?"

"Her way of thinking is, if I can take I should give. That's doesn't mean I should give, I should have other people do it for me." He looked over at the pool.

"That is a good use of your gift. If I didn't know better I wouldn't believe you guys weren't together."

"That woman could get me to do anything. She's a mix between all the women in the family. If I could change who I was I would."

"You're in love with her," I looked at him. "I know you don't love her like I love Julia, but you're in love with her aren't you."

"I already told you that."

"No you tried to explain that you love her like family. It's more than that. For a mind reader, you really don't know how to read your own. You give each other everything beside a sexually relationship." He told me.

"Ricky what are you talking about."

"You two give each other everyone two people would in a couple besides sex. Then you work together and do the same thing there. Whether you want to believe it or not, you're in a relationship with her." He took a drink and smiled at the thought.

"This makes you happy why?"

"You've moved on," He said and looked over at me. I gave him a look and raised an eye brow. "Just listen to me for a minute. I know you might not have moved on to be ready for another love relationship. But you moved on enough to love someone else." He told me.

"That's never been my problem."

"Then why haven't you," He couldn't find the right words.

"Ricky if I ever meet someone, there isn't anything holding me back. The problem is that I haven't wanted to meet anyone. I can move on, I chose not to. Not because I'm waiting. I stopped waiting a long time ago. I just chose not to find someone." He nodded at me.

"Can I ask when you stopped waiting?" I sat forward and brushed my hair back.

"I gave him the amount of time he asked for. He told me he would be back in two years, he wasn't and that's when I started up my company. I stayed for another year. Then I left. Like you and Julia I only come back when I'm asked. I've made a life in New York."

"What do you mean you stayed another year? You were still in school."

"By my chose, I stayed in school when I didn't need to. Because of my gifts I can use more of my brain. Unlike Max I don't know everything, but I know a lot." He just looked at me.

"Are you telling me your super smart?" I shook my head.

"Just can us more of my brain. The more I progress, the more brain I open up and can use. Are you trying to tell me in 10 years yours haven't progressed?" I asked him.

"Yes but not like that." I gave him a look. "Seeing somehow moved into hearing. I don't know how they it will grow any more than it has."

"If it does it will be a surprise. Mine always is."

"How much has yours?"

"A lot, but it's all in the mind. I really don't know where it can go from here. I really don't want to think about where it will go from here. I'm still trying to work on my last advance."

"What was it?"

"I can create illusion. It only for a short time frame and the size of a small room, for right now." He just looked at me.

"That's cool,"

"What are you guys talking about." Julia asked. Her and Sam sat down.

"Where's your bags?" Ricky asked her.

"They will be in our room by the time we get there. That was a very smart thing to come up with Sam."

"It also saves on bags or boxes. Plus you don't have to carry things around all the time. So what are we going to do next?" She asked.

"Let check out that hot tub," Julia asked. They got up and walked away.

"Is it a good thing or bad thing they're getting along?" I asked Ricky.

"I can't tell yet." We got up and followed them. It was the size of a small pool. It also snack around the front of the ship. We picked a set that over looked the front.

"You put boots on a boat?" Julia asked me.

"I had nothing to do with what was in the stores." I put my arm behind Sam and let her lean back against it.

"Who did?"

"Me, Peter had a say in most of the ship. But knows nothing about shopping or food. So I got together with the two people he put in charge of everything and planned what would go in the ship." Sam told her and was kicking her feet.

"We should be asking you, what there's to do?" Ricky asked her.

"If you want to shop or eat. Peter did the rest." She was bouncing. Then saw something and stood up. I put my arm around her and pulled her on my lap. She let me then looked over the side.

"You put in a climbing wall?" Julia asked when she turned around and looked at the same thing.

"Four, the deck below has a wake pool instead of a hot tub." They looked around and found it. Got up, grabbed us and pulled us there. Sam sat across my lap and put her feet on their intertube. Julia did the same.

"What other cool things did you put in?" Julia wanted to know

"There's a lot to do, we have seven day's to find out everything that there is to do. But from what I remember there is a club?" I asked Sam.

"There's a few different ones and I know just how to bump us to the front of any lines. Only if you want to go?" She asked when she wasn't so sure.

"And how is that?" Julia wanted to know.

"The owner we'll get us in." Sam smiled down at me.

"Then we have to go, Sam how old are you?" Sam looked over at Julia.

"Oh I'm your age. I was 21 when I started working with Peter." Sam told her, but she was trying to understand why they wanted to know that. I rubbed her back to try and calm her down.

"You must have been really bright and good at your job." I gave Julia a look.

"She didn't mean it how that sounded." Ricky said. Julia looked around and hit her forehead.

"Sorry, I really didn't mean it how it came out. I just meant at such a young age you must have been very good at your job for Peter to hand over his company to you. It still isn't coming out right."

"She's trying to tell you she's impressed of you love." Sara nodded.

"Thank you, but he didn't just hand everything over to me. We spend most of his last school year trying to learn how to work together. Still we don't always work good together. He wants it done his way, I find the middle line and he doesn't want to look at it." Sam told them.

"Reminds me of dad. Is Sam to you what mom is to dad?"

"Yes, that's what I was looking for. I know what mom has done to dad's business and I wanted the same thing. That's why I've offered Sam a partnership from almost the begging. Without her I wouldn't have a business." Sam looked down at me.

"You mean that?"

"Do you know Peter to say things he doesn't mean?" Ricky asked her. I wiped the tears off her checks.

"I think it's time to talk about something different." Julia said and they started talking about everything they had in common. When it started getting dark, we grabbed out things and headed to our rooms. Sam showed and started getting ready while I showed.

As I was getting ready, I put on my watch and set the timer. Sam walked out of the bathroom in a sexy little dress.

"I'm going to have to beat guys away from you tonight love." She smiled at me.

"Sure you will, but thank you anyways. I like your sister," She told me.

"She likes you also," She came over and fixed my shirt and hair. I slipped my wallet in my pocket and opened the door for her. I knocked on their door and waited.

"Do you think you'll be long?" She asked me.

"No, it should only take me a few minutes. I'm sure you'll be able to find a better partner thought." She rolled her eyes. Ricky opened the door. Julia was hopping around trying to get her shoes on.

"Does she know we'll wait?" Sam leaned over and watched.

"That's just how she gets ready." Ricky said. When Julia got her shoes on, she stood up and fixed her hair and walked over to us.

"Ok I'm ready, can we eat first?"

"I know a place." They linked arms and walked away.

"Giving you a heads up, we might be in Ney York a lot." Ricky told me.

"Want a penthouse?" I asked him. He looked down at me. "I made Sam move out of the penthouse. Then she made me go to a charity and I gave some money. So I'm looking to sell the penthouse."

"How many houses do you own?"

"Two right now. Throw out the years, many." He laughed at me.

"We'll talk about it later. But I might take you up on that offer." Dinner was great and all Sam had to do was drop my name and we got the best table. I left a nice tip on the table and let Sam lead us to the club. She walked us to the front line and started talking to the guy behind the rope. As we were waiting I looked around and listened to some voices.

"Yes ma'am right away, I'm sorry for the wait." The guy hurry to let us throw. I let them walk throw and stopped to talk to him.

"Six couple back, let them throw also." I pasted him a tip and caught up with Sam.

"Big softy." She said as she put her arm around mine.

"Why are there lines?" I asked her.

"Because there's a limit to how many people can be in the room. Give it time and everyone will know where everything is. What did you hear?" She asked.

"There here on their honey moon." She looked up at me. "As much as I don't like waiting it was unfair for us to get let in while others are waiting. The woman was getting upset."

"Can't have a woman cry around you, do you want me to send them something?" She asked me. I shook my head no. We followed Ricky and Julia to the dance floor.

Can I dance with you, or will they think the wrong thing? Julia thought at me. I smiled as I pulled her close to me.

"Love, never question what's normal, just because people are around." I whispered in her ear. Finely she started moving with me. We got drinks and danced until my watch went off.

"Try and have fun while I'm gone." I kissed her head and moved away from her.
