of the position they appeared in when they materialized, he ascertained they must have been wrestling for the gun and somehow, something or someone stripped them of their memories right before they disappeared. Just how that had happened and why they’d been struggling, he didn’t have a clue.
    “Well, if we’re going to be stranded somewhere, I can’t think of any better place.” Finn rubbed his chin and smiled. “We must be here for some fancy schmancy event.”
    “Right,” Cael agreed, but the agreement was only spoken, not believed. Of course, Cael wasn’t stranded and he didn’t think they’d be in Bora Bora dressed in suits on purpose. All he had to do was dematerialize and go wherever he wanted. He didn’t think the guy next to him had that ability or any other supernatural gift, for that matter. Just an intuition. As he concentrated a little on the guy’s thoughts, nothing out of the ordinary surfaced, but how much of their memories were gone?
    The last major event in Cael’s life that he could remember was a very sad thought. His best friend Stefan and his wife Claire, recently died in a plane crash heading to this same spot, tragically leaving behind their young daughter, Breena. The girl had no living blood relatives, so Cael helped his mom get Breena settled into the Sectory with her. His mother decided to adopt Breena, something Cael had considered, even knowing he didn’t exactly lead the ideal sort of life a little girl needed. Stefan and Cael had been inseparable as kids; Siana practically raised Stefan right along with Cael. When Stefan and Claire had Breena, Cael’s mother was as close as any grandmother. In actuality, Siana was the nearest thing to a grandmother Breena had. Cael shook the sad thoughts from his mind. Maybe he’d come to Bora Bora to forget or remember. He’d been sick with guilt, wishing he’d been around to teleport the two instead of letting them fly. They’d been on their way here to Tahiti, sort of a belated honeymoon, because they never had the chance to have one. Claire had gotten pregnant during the wedding planning and the baby came early. He supposed it was the perfect place to mourn his best friend, considering, but that didn’t explain the gun-toting man sitting beside him.
    Suspicious as the situation was, the guy seemed harmless aside from the gun, which now lay between them in the sand. Cael considered picking it up, but he didn’t know this guy and didn’t want him to become alarmed. It would be better for that nifty little pistol to be in his hand though, instead of taking the chance of it being pointed at his chest any time soon. He could just teleport the hell out of there and leave the guy wondering what happened. Unfortunately, that wasn’t something Cael could see himself doing, even if he never planned to see the guy again after this. His ability to teleport had always been something he kept secret, not wanting to astound or frighten any one with what he was capable of doing. From his experience, people were always afraid of things they didn’t understand and having someone disappear right in front of your eyes definitely fell under that category. That in itself was another problem, though. For all Cael knew, Finn could be somebody he was protecting, or worse, someone he was protecting someone else from. Bottom line, he didn’t know who Finn was, therefore he couldn’t just leave him.
    Cael glanced up at the sound of a motor as a small boat, carrying a young couple made its way toward them. The driver cut the engine and the boat glided onto the sandy shore about fifty feet away from them. Good thing they hadn’t been on the little moto when he and Finn arrived. For some reason, Cael didn’t have any recollection of surveying the area before materializing here, something he always did to avoid spooking any unsuspecting people as he appeared out of thin air.
    Cael eyed the Glock and just decided to pick it up. He tapped Finn on the shoulder
