Author's notes: I had intended to have the last chapter be the end, but I didn't "complete" my listing, so I decided to give you just a little more.

The music had started again and dancers were hitting the floor, all were anxious to continue the party atmosphere that filled the room. The bride and groom were moving through the crowd; thanking the guests for being part of their special day.

On the dance floor Charlie and Amita were dancing slowly, oblivious to the fact that the tempo of the new song was much faster than their slow sway. As they moved, Charlie's hand would occasionally make its way from her small waist to her face to caress it before stealing a quick kiss which elicited a laugh from Amita.

"They make a great couple. I wouldn't doubt that we are celebrating their wedding next." Megan nodded in the other couple's direction.

"I would have said that maybe it would be you and Larry."

"Really? I don't think Larry is the settling down type. It would be hard to be married and have a family when he's either in a monastery or floating above the earth." Megan grew more reflective and her voice became somewhat wistful. "This is just the equivalent to a summer time romance; passionate, but not for the long run."

"Hey, I didn't mean to bring you down. If you want to be depressed we can talk about my love life."

"Colby Granger, women are always throwing themselves at your feet." Megan laughed at her dance partner.

"The whole triple agent spy thing made it a little difficult to explain on a first date." Colby teased. "I declare all conversations on relationships cease."

"Agreed. So have you heard anything more on Doug Carter's condition?"

"Wow, you are really determined to kill my buzz." Colby replied ruefully. "He's been transferred to a minimum security facility with a medical wing. They report that he is still out of it and they don't know when or if he'll ever recover enough to stand trial."

"That must be hard for you." Megan began but was cut off by another voice.

"May I cut in?" Larry stood beside the couple.

"Here you go Larry, be careful. She's in her analytical mood." Colby moved back to allow the other man to take his place.

"Hey!" Megan started to defend herself, but Larry swung her into a faster dance step and into the crowd.

Colby made his way back to the table, but seeing Don and Liz deep in conversation, decided to try his luck at the bar. Minutes later he was armed with a beer and was in deep conversation with Claudia's college roommate.

The lights were dim in the hospital wing. The few nurses and aides on duty were more interested in finishing paperwork or watching t.v.. No one took notice of the patient in room 12 sitting up on the edge of his bed and working on moving his legs.

The sweat poured down the side of his face with the exertion. He had been making steady progress with his own rehabilitation; the personnel of the hospital had no idea that he was awake or what he was capable of. He knew that he still had a long ways to go, but that was fine with him. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

The end? Sequel someday? Perhaps.
