She can hear him pacing in the living room while she talks to one of the island doctors on the phone. As soon as she hangs up, she goes to the bedroom without saying anything and as she expected, he follows.
"Well?"
"I’m not pregnant, James."
He looks at Juliet, realizing the disappointment in her voice. He remembers a time when Kate told him the same thing and he celebrated. But this is Juliet, and she’s different; they’re different. All she’s wanted is a damn kid. Pulling her into his arms, he lets her be disappointed. "There’s always next time."

His left arm pressed harder against the throat of the man he had been chasing for hours. Catching him proved difficult; the man was cunning, eluding him at every turn…until now. The cold steel muzzle of his P-14 pressed against the man’s temple. His index finger lightly rubbed the smooth metal of the gun’s trigger.
He wanted to pull the trigger. The man had murdered several people in the village, and seriously wounded three Marines, his Marines. He was feeling charitable; his men were alive. The villagers could have the satisfaction of bringing the killer to justice…this time.
