Racing along the beach, Giovanna and Teddy felt the powdery white sand beneath their toes.

"Nat Night!!!", shouted Satan at Ken the demon, "This was supposed to be a magnificent bloodbath and instead we end up with some kind of psychedelic love- in where nobody seems to have any idea who they are any more - and all because you put your love of Nat King Cole before duty!!!"

Tying himself in knots (for he is not very bright) Ken tried to keep the cast of characters straight - Teddy was Theodora, sister to Giovanna, not to be confused with Anna, who was with Ed in Willemstad, she having driven Ed from the bar in Arizona - but then Ken had too much of this and ordered a sixth mojito, Satan the Boss be damned.

Ant, lying down, prone, in the Aruban heat, wondered why the wrathful Giovanna had gone out of her way to tread upon him, for he had done nothing to her, aside from his glancing acquaintance with Jake, the deceased mechanic.

"I, um, I'd like to make a deal with you", said Satan to Giovanna, "You work for me and I'll get you all the weapons you could ever wish for. Guns, knives, you name it. I'll even throw in a company car. That's more than my old employee, Ken, ever got. Mind you, he never actually did any work."

El Paso, Texas, was where Giovanna decided to hide out, as she thought that it would never occur to her vengeful sister Theodora - "Teddy" to friend and enemy alike - to seek her in such climes.

"One way to Heaven, straight up," said a passing seraph to Satan, who was retching at the thought of working for Giovanna; "would you like a lift, Lucifer--I know it's been a long time; but surely that adjustment would be easier than working for Giovanna; oh, good, just grab my hand...ok, here we are; hi, Pete, this one's a straight to the Boss special; be kind to each other, ok?" and she sped off to the Andromeda galaxy.
