Ross felt lonely in the bed. He awoke to the sun streaming through the window of the suite. Still groggy from the night before, he heard a knock at the door. "Rach?" he groaned. "No , I am Natasha. Remember we were going to have brunch and then go exploring." Natasha pulled the door open. She was wearing a blue sundress and a pair of designer sunglasses. In her hands was a Gucci bag. "I have brought my bikini. " Ross realized that he was back on stage. "Natasha, babe, I had a rough night. Just let me put some clothes on and we'll go." He said. "Oh in that case, we can stay right here." She cooed as she jumped on the bed. "No I want to get out of this hotel. I spent too much time last night in the casino. " He jumped from the bed and pulled on his pants and then buttoned a shirt. "Don't forget your swim suit. I thought later we could go snorkeling. Unless you are scared of the little fishes." Natasha said as she took down the straps of her dress and revealed a red bikini. Ross thought if only she knew how at home in the water he was. "Well I guess you are going to have to protect me then." He said as he kissed her.
Hand and hand they left the room. As they approached the elevator, Robin and Rachel were getting off. Rachel seeing Ross started to grasp tighter on to Robin and pretend to laugh at one of his jokes. The two of them headed for his room. With a sure look, he knew that Rachel was going to pump him for information.
After brunch and some shopping, Natasha dragged Ross to the beach. "They have some incredible sights in the cove. There is a bunch of caverns under the hotel that the sea life is incredible. The water is so clear and warm." She smiled. Ross was suddenly very interested because their search in the basement of the casino turned up nothing. Maybe the caves held the answer to their investigation. "Last one in the water is a rotten egg." He yelled. Laughing and splashing , Natasha jumped in the waves and then put her mask on. Ross did as well and then they put the snorkel in their mouth. Skimming on top of the water, they saw shells and coral on the sandy bottom. Lifting their fins into the air, they did a surface dive into the crystal water. Swimming along they had fish swim up to them and petted a manta ray. Natasha was beauty framed as her brunette hair floated around her face. It was obvious she was very comfortable in the water.She didn't even use her hands, she moved about propelled by the slow motion of her fins. Ross swam powered by his hands. Suddenly he saw the caves she was talking about. He knew that he couldn't do too much exploring with out scuba gear, so he mentally calculated that Rachel and him would do that at another time. Out of breath, he pointed to the surface and Natasha nodded. They broke the surface and swam to the shore.
"I don't know about you, but I am exhausted and I have another night of cards ahead of me. I think we should go back to the room." He said. Natasha smiled and shook her wet hair . "Yes, why don't we both take a little nap." Again she pressed her red lips to his and this time he wasn't fighting it. If she was going to lead him to the smugglers, then he had to do it.
Rachel laid down in the bed after their walk on the beach. She told herself she was only using Robin . He had bought her a diamond bracelet and a Louis Vuitton purse. He was so rich and he wanted to show her what a beautiful woman she really was. It pained her to see Natasha and Ross hand and hand. They had to meet later, she was hoping that there was something that she could report when they met later. "A glass of wine, my lovely." Robin said as Rachel stretched out. "I would love to lay next to you and then make sweet love to you." Rachel moved away as he came near her. "But my sweet. Why do you run from me?" he asked confused, "Robert hurt me very bad, and now it is hard for me to trust men." Rachel sobbed. "I want to , but it is going to take time." Robin held her close to him . "When you are ready, I will be gentle." He whispered. Robin closed his eyes and then Rachel laid down. Suddenly he began to mumble. "The diamonds.. They will go tomorrow." Rachel moved closer to hear what he said. "And where are they?" she whispered carefully. "They are being smuggled out of the caves onto submarines that will rendevous
on a boat in the bay tomorrow night." Rachel pulled the covers off and slowly walked across the carpet. She had to get to Ross. Robin rolled over and started to snore. Now she could make her escape.
