A/N: Hi, SqueakyDolphin6 here. Thanks, JanusGirl101. I promise I will stop hijacking your account very soon! Sorry to those of you who are waiting for the last chapter of Its Called Enjoying Yourself. I'm having a little trouble with Chapter 4, and I'm going to go back and edit Chapter 1 before I continue. In the mean time I am posting this little story. I had this plot bunny bite me really hard and not let go, so I just had to write this. It is a scene in Storm Warning from Ian's POV. I will possibly add 2 or 3 other similar random scenes from the series. They will not be in any particular order, just whatever I get inspired to write. If there is a scene from Ian's POV you would like to see, let me know. I hope you enjoy it, and please review whether you do or not. Thanks! SqueakyDolphin6

Thinking About Her

Bahamas, Storm Warning

Ian was watching the shore carefully through his binoculars. The Kabras had been out here for hours in their luxury yacht, doing surveillance on the Cahills. They were currently in the Bahamas, which was a welcome relief to Ian after his traumatic experience at the top of Mount Everest. He had almost died up there, had almost fallen thousands of feet to his death. Instead he had been miraculously, astonishingly, saved by Amy Cahill.

Ian couldn't stop thinking about it. The whole incident played over and over in his mind. He had been a second from plunging down the side of the mountain. Terrified, he knew he was going to die. And then, unexpectedly, Amy dropped the Janus serum and grabbed him instead.

Ian couldn't understand why she'd done it. He was glad she had, of course, but it perplexed him. Amy shouldn't have saved him, she had no reason to. He and Natalie and their mother had been nothing but horrible to the Cahills for weeks. He didn't deserve to be saved by her. And yet, despite that, Amy had sacrificed something priceless for him. That realization was causing Ian to feel emotions completely foreign to him, emotions like guilt, regret, gratitude, and also concern. Amy and Dan had survived so far, but would they continue to? His mother, instead of being grateful to Amy for saving her son's life, was more determined than ever to get rid of her and her brother. Mum was getting angrier and more ruthless the longer this clue hunt went on. What would she try next? When Ian thought about anything happening to Amy he got an unpleasant knot in his stomach.

Now Ian was observing the Cahills for his mother once again. He had watched them go into the Tomas cave, the same one he'd searched himself countless times. They had tied a rope around each other and around Nellie for safety. Yes, good idea. It always pays to be careful. He'd seen Nellie waiting, saw her turn and talk to…someone. It seemed to be a man dressed all in grey, but it was hard to tell, as the mysterious figure kept back behind a rock formation. Strange. Who was that? Some secret contact? Should he tell Mum? He wasn't sure.

Ian looked back at the water and noticed it was rising rapidly. Amy and Dan had been in there a very long time. Too long. The tide was coming in and would swamp them. Finally he saw some movement. Nellie was starting to look alarmed. Its about time, he thought scornfully. And she considers herself their protector. Where were they? They should be out by now. Come on, get out of there, Ian silently encouraged. Nellie was pulling frantically at the rope now. Something was wrong. Ian wanted to jump up and yell something. He wanted to swim over to that cave and pull Amy out himself. It took all his training to sit calmly and just watch. Nellie went into the cave. She was in there for minutes, taking way too long. The water was almost to the top of the cave entrance. Finally, he saw a head bob out of the cave. Who was it? Oh, Daniel. Where was Amy? Absorbed in the drama playing out, Ian didn't even realize he was standing now. And then, at last, two heads struggled out of the cave. Finally, she was out of there. Relieved, he let go of the breath he didn't know he'd been holding.

But something was still wrong. Nellie and Dan were dragging Amy out of the water. She wasn't moving. Was that blood all over her? No! Amy! He felt sick to his stomach. His hands trembled slightly as they clenched the binoculars in a death-grip. Once again Ian had to force himself to sit down and watch calmly as they worked to revive her. When he saw Amy roll over and retch up sea water and then shakily sit up he breathed a silent sigh of relief. She was alive! She's okay. Thank you, God!

Ian continued watching as the Cahills gathered their things and began to slowly make their way back across the beach, Dan and Nellie supporting a wobbling Amy between them.

"They're leaving. Follow them," Ian instructed the yacht captain. Both Natalie and Isabel were hovering nearby, waiting for a report.

"Well, did they find something?" demanded his mother.

"I don't know. One of them has been hurt. I can't tell what's happening." Ian struggled to keep his voice dispassionate, but despite himself there was a slight, telltale wobble.

The Kabras followed the Cahills' progress as they went back to their tour boat and Nellie patched Amy up using the boat's first aid kit. Ian was finally able to relax when he saw Amy sit up and begin conversing with her brother.

That was when he saw Dan hold up the chain with the gold claw.

The End
