chuckled at her lover. “Excited huh?”
    “Yes, I can just about hear the gears of your
brain churning away whenever we talk about adding another
property.” Liz waited for the screen to come up as she teased her
lover. “I figure if I get you all wound up and excited looking at
property then you will be too excited to sleep and I can get some
sweet loving tonight.”
    “Baby, I get all excited just looking at
you,” Nat said. “We don’t even have to turn the computer on for
that,” she teased back. “We can wait to look tomorrow and slip off
to the room now if you would prefer.”
    “That’s ok Nat, I can wait an hour or so,”
Liz said with a grin.
    The computer screen came to life and Liz
scrolled down to her previous searches.
    “I have found five that I think hold some
potential,” she said.
    She clicked the mouse on a link and opened
the first of the pages. The price was right at two and one half
million, but after reading the details on the island, Nat and Liz
felt it was too small for the resort they had in mind.
    The next island Nat ruled out quickly. “It is
too far from a decent sized airport and the transportation costs
would be prohibitive,” she said.
    The following island was huge a total of
eighteen acres at an asking price of six million. “Nice size and it
even has a beautiful waterfall, but six million is out of our
range.”
    Nat sat next to Liz as she opened the next
page. The pictures of this island were gorgeous. There were nice
sandy beaches in every direction on the island, but the vegetation
had been severely changed. Most of the large trees had been removed
from the island, offering very little in the area of protection
from storms and privacy. Liz sensed Nat’s disappointment and held
her breath as she clicked on another page.
    Nat bolted straight in her chair as the page
opened up to pristine beaches on an island of ten acres. “Selling
price is three million, but you have to see this,” Liz said.
    She rolled her cursor over the list of
pictures and she heard Nat gasp in surprise. She watched the smile
on Nat’s face grow as she moved from picture to picture. The owner
had begun to build a resort and there were fifty guest rooms that
were eighty percent constructed. A salt water pool had been built
and a separate building for a nightclub had the exterior walls,
roof and flooring installed. Both buildings were roofed with
Spanish tiles and the guest rooms were large and had the potential
to be luxury suites.
    There was a large pier that led out to
crystal clear blue green water and a boathouse at the end of the
pier that could house a medium sized fishing boat. On the
northernmost tip of the island there was a small house perched on
the side of a cliff overlooking the water. A wraparound porch
surrounded the house giving excellent views of the entire island
from its elevated stature.
    “It was the summer home of the owner,” Liz
said.
    Nat was speechless as Liz returned to the top
of the picture gallery and handed Nat the mouse to move over the
pictures again.
    “What is the catch?” Nat asked after she had
looked at the picture gallery twice more.
    “It does seem too good to be true, doesn’t
it?” Liz said. “There is nothing in the listing that stands out as
suspicious and I have read it over a dozen times.”
    “Do you agree that it is worth taking a look
at?” Nat asked.
    “Most definitely,” Liz said. “Would you like
me to make arrangements with the realtor tomorrow?” she asked.
    “Do you think we could fly out on Saturday to
take a look?” Nat asked.
    “I will see if I can get in contact with the
realtor first thing in the morning and see what we can get set up,”
Liz said.
    Liz looked up at saw Nat grinning at her.
“What on earth are you thinking?”
    “You always know when I am thinking
something,” Nat said. “I think we need some partners for this
venture,” Nat said.
    “Who do you have in mind?” Liz asked.
    “I would like to talk to
