dug it up in Spain, where it was quickly whisked away by Frost and his men. Nicole’s husband, along with the rest of their team were killed. Nicole was left to die too, laying beneath the body of her Tomas.
    The second Atlantean artifact was a sword found in a burial chamber on an island off the coast of Campeche, Mexico. Hank has since named it Elvis as it resembles the fictional elven swords from The Lord of the Rings . Legolas’ short sword in particular.
    “We’re here.”
    Kane stumbled, caught off guard. He looked around and couldn’t find her.
    “Jeremy?”
    He spun and found her behind him, motioning to the stairs nearby. Blinking, he focused on her face, seeing a look of worry.
    “You okay?”
    He quickly nodded, lying. “Fine, just thinking of the first time I had to save your sweet ass from death.”
    He watched as the hands on hips display of displeasure repeated itself.
    “And of everything else too.”
    Olivia’s irritation immediately subsided. She knew how hard things have been on all of them lately. This vacation was supposed to cleanse them of that. Only Ben and Todd had refused to go on theirs. Ben had been clipped by a bullet, but quickly recovered, and Todd wasn’t even physically involved. He didn’t even know any of them besides Kane at the time.
    “Come on,” she said, beckoning him forward. “Let’s have some fun.”
    Kane gave her a soft smile and followed, squeezing her butt a few times as she ascended the steps in front of him. It was a relatively short climb to the top of the Humunga Kowabunga slides, giving Kane ample time to cheer himself up. He may have felt saddened before, but nothing quite cheered him up like teasing the crap out of Olivia.
    As they climbed, Kane suddenly got a strange feeling that they were being watched, but the only person he could find looking at them with anything more than a glance was an on-duty lifeguard. She was stationed at the top the slides, organizing the mixture of kids and adults.
    He normally wouldn’t have thought of it as anything odd, they were supposed to be watching everyone. Disney was really up to keeping everyone safe around their various parks—waterparks included.
    Just then, Olivia’s and his “sunglasses” pinged , stopping them halfway up the steps. They moved out of the way of the others following behind them and quickly answered the communiqué. Each of them gently brushed the right temple with a finger, unlocking and activating the NVS software.
    “I didn’t send an agent to Algeria,” Kane said, dumbfounded.
    He looked back up to the lifeguard, her eyes never leaving him. The florescent blue and shimmering silver eyeshadow, chopped black pixie-cut, and multiple earrings made her stand out like a sore thumb. Disney didn’t allow that kind of makeup and jewelry on their cast members.
    But her eyes were what gave him the feeling of dread. Her blue eyes made the back of his mind scream for a weapon.

    The gun goes off in my face, but thankfully the bullet zings past my right ear, punching harmlessly into the sand behind me. As I clutch the assassin’s wrists and shove up, I feel an unworldly resistance.
    Damn he’s strong , I think, trying desperately to disarm him in the process, swiping at the gun. I have an ace up my sleeve, though, but decide now is not the time. The public definitely isn’t ready to see that.
    Instead, a solid punch connects with the guy’s right temple, coming from a smaller, yet insanely effective fist. Nicole slugs the shooter, still holding her bathing suit top in place with her right hand, keeping it from flailing about with the incoming ocean breeze.
    The blue-eyed assailant teeters slightly giving me an opening. Kane’s training takes over and I attempt to judo flip him, only executing the move at half its intended effectiveness. Instead of just him getting flung into the hammock, we both do, tripping over each other like a bad
