"Do you smell bacon?""Yes…I do."Throwing back the sheet, Maggie and Silas sprang from their bed. Silas snatched a gun from the nightstand while Maggie took up Kali.Throwing caution to the wind, the lovers ripped open the bedroom door and ran down the stairs to the kitchen. Silas rushed in, gun ready, while Maggie was close behind, Kali raised high."I don't know what is more disturbing, your lack of hospitality or clothes," said Larry."Larry?" asked Maggie.Standing before a kitchen table, literally covered with plates of hot food, stood the enigmatic Larry."Long time, no see, Silas," said Larry with a smile.Silas in one smooth motion aimed and fired. The bullet stopped dead a millimeter from the tip of Larry's nose."Now that was just plain rude," said Larry. "Understandable, but rude nonetheless." The bullet fell to the floor at Larry's feet."Too bad it wasn't longer," Silas said as he lowered his gun."You two have history?" asked Maggie."Larry was the one who persuaded me to take the Collamarr way back when I was seventeen, in Macau," said Silas.
