" The three of them walked over to the redbrick building. "I have something very important for you to do, Andrew." "Anything you want," Andrew said.

TANNER LED THE way into the redbrick building and walked over to Prima. Tanner turned to Andrew. "Here's what I want you to do. Princess and I have to leave now, but at six o'clock, I want you to turn this computer off. It's very simple." He pointed. "You see this big red button?" Andrew nodded. "I see it." "All you have to do is press it three times, at six o'clock. Three times. Can you remember that?" Andrew said, "Yes, Tanner. Six o'clock. Three times." "Right. See you later." Tanner and Pauline started to walk out.
Andrew looked after them. "You're not taking me with you?" "No. You stay here. Just remember: six o'clock, three times." "I'll remember." As they walked outside, Pauline said, "What if he doesn't remember?" Tanner laughed. "It doesn't matter. It's set to explode automatically at six o'clock. I just wanted to make sure he's there when it happens."
CHAPTER 45
AT WAS A perfect day for flying. KIG's 757 was speeding over the Pacific Ocean under an azure blue sky. Pauline and Tanner were snuggled together on a couch in the main cabin.
Pauline said, "Darling, do you know it's a shame that people will never know how brilliant you are?" "If they ever found out, I'd be in big trouble." She looked at him and said, "No problem. We could buy a country and proclaim ourselves the rulers. Then they can't touch us." Tanner laughed.
Pauline stroked his hand. "Did you know that I wanted you from the first time I saw you?" "No. As I remember, you were very impertinent." "And it worked, didn't it? You had to see me again, to teach me a lesson." There was a long, erotic kiss.
Far away, lightning flashed.
Tanner said, "You'll love Tamoa. We'll spend a week or two there and relax, and then we'll travel around the world. We're going to make up for all the lost years when we couldn't be together." She looked up and grinned impishly. "You bet we will." "And every month or so, we'll come back to Tamoa and put Prima II to work. You and I can pick our targets together." Pauline said, "Well, we could create a storm in England, but they wouldn't notice." Tanner laughed. "We have the whole world to choose from." A steward approached. "Is there anything I can get you?" he asked.
Tanner said, "No. We have everything." And he knew that it was true.
In the distant sky, there were more flashes of lightning.
"I hope there isn't going to be a storm," Pauline said. "I-I hate flying in rough weather.
