"Relax," Crawford said. "Mars is a dead planet, we can't face natural disasters here."
Spacesuits or not, the expressions on Schwarz's faces were perfectly clear. He sighed.
"Once we kill the scientists trying to find water we'll leave. Dinner's on me for a week."
"A month," Schuldig said.
"A year," Farfarello added.
"Forever," Nagi said.
Distant explosions made the ground shudder ominously; they all looked at the horizon in shock.
"I think they found water," Farfarello said.
As the hundred-foot wall of water raced towards them, Crawford reflected that at least his teammates would shoot him before he could drown.

"Nothing's going to happen this week, right?" Schuldig said, murmuring threateningly in Crawford's ear. "No eruptions, earthquakes or raging infernos?"
"No," Crawford said dismissively. "And any killing will be purely recreational."
"Speaking of which, where's the room service?" Schuldig said.
"Give a good tip when it gets here."
"I'll give a tip all right," Schuldig muttered, loading his pistol.
Hours later, they finally got out of bed. As Schuldig ranted about bad service Crawford strolled to the window and looked out, appalled. Water rushed past, a foot below their fifth floor room.

Bodie closed his eyes and laid his head next to Ray’s on the hospital bed. What was it about this man that touched him so deeply? Why did the thought of losing Ray affect him so? How had Ray gotten under his skin? A finger lightly tapped the end of his nose. “Penny for ‘em,” whispered words stirred his hair, caressed his cheek. “I’m sorry, Ray. For walkin’ out.” The confession tumbled out, surprising them both. “I love you.” “And?” “I want it all – with you.” Ray’s lips met his. “You sure?” Bodie smiled. “Yeah,feels good, this. “What?” “Commitment .”

Bodie quietly entered Doyle’s flat. After three days the air still stank of cordite, blood, and sour milk. Two bullets had found Doyle here, in his own home. Bodie wandered through the silent rooms ignoring his own rank fear that Doyle wouldn’t survive - his fear that this empty silence would permeate the rest of his life. A faint scent of their recent coupling lingered in the bedroom. Rumpled sheets stuffed in the laundry smelled of his cowardice. He’d panicked at the intimacy Doyle had unconditionally offered. He’d run, leaving Doyle hurt. He hoped it wasn’t too late to beg forgiveness.
