treat ourselves to a two bedroom condo. We went to the small Publix grocery store and bought some steaks, potatoes to bake and fixings for salad and some beer.
    The condo was right on the beach and we sat and ate on the back porch. It looked almost like a lake and when the sun started setting the water turned teal blue and the sand turned pink.
    “Sarah would love this. I plan to bring her here for our honeymoon if we ever get married.”
    “I have high hopes for you, Robert. I really don’t think Sarah is Twoon and if I’m right and Dr. Anna is as good as I’ve heard, then Sarah will get well and you’ll be married.”
    “You going to be my best man. Simon?”
    “I certainly will,” he said and then we didn’t say any more but just watched the sun go behind a sand dune to our right. I couldn’t wait to show Sarah.
    Our plan was to walk on the beach the next morning and question people. The problem was, this was a resort area and most people we met were from somewhere else and were here for a week or two.
    We did meet one young couple who were walking along enjoying the sunrise. “That happened during the winter,” the guy said. He was a good looking kid who looked like a younger Tony Curtis and the amazing thing was that his wife looked a little like Janet Leigh.
    “Yeah,” she said. “You’d need to hang around and question the snow birds who come down from up north for the winter.”
    We were about to give up when we spotted a pickup truck and realized it was the beach police. They’re the only vehicle allowed on the beach in this part of Florida.
    We flagged him down and asked him about the murders. “Well, there was just one on the beach along here. It was a teenage boy but he didn’t die. He was a run-away from Athens, Georgia. His parents already came and got him but he described the perp as a small young man with blond hair and green eyes.”
    Simon and I looked at each other and nodded. It was the way Sarah looked when she was picked up. When he drove off Simon and I took off our shoes and walked on the beach for awhile. I noticed the sand was finer here like a finely ground sugar. It was soft and felt good against my feet.
    There was one thing that still continued to bother me and I asked Simon, “Why was Sarah dressed like that if she’s not Twoon?”
    “I thought about that myself and I believe that Twoon dressed her like that when she was experiencing one of her blackouts. I don’t think Dr. Anna will agree right now but when Sarah is stronger I’d like for one of our agents to hypnotize her.
    “ He’s the best there is. His name is John Shepherd and he lives in New Orleans.”
    We spent some down time the rest of the day, stayed in the condo that night and planned to head back the next morning.
     
     
     
    TWOON
    I’ve had to curb my appetite since they arrested Sarah but I can’t wait any longer. This has been a long dry spell, the longest I’ve had since I began three years ago. At first about once every couple of months was enough. I could live on the memories, but now I need it more and more often.
    There’s no getting around it , I have to go hunting tonight while the sheriff’s still out of town. There’s no more patrolling on the beach so it should be easy. They can’t find a body and I haven’t tried to hide a body before. It can’t be that difficult.
    I’m getting so turned on just thinking about it I don’t know how much longer I can hold off. I may have to go out before night.
     
     
     
    CHAPTER 24
    I was tired when we got home and I knew it was emotional instead of physical. I called Dr. Anna as soon as I got into the office to let her know I would be coming down there the next day.
    “H ow is Sarah?” I asked Dr. Anna.
    “Sarah has made remarkable progress, Robert, in such a short period of time. She understands her MPD and says she’s actually relieved to know why she has missed time throughout her life.
    “She hasn’t met any of the other personalities
