<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4040FF"><span style="font-size: 150%; line-height: 116%;">Alice Green</span><br/><span style="font-size: 120%; line-height: 116%;">'The Huntress'</span></span></div><br/><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">Alice chuckled at Peter's words on the conversation he would have with his swimmers. <span style="color: #4040FF">"Excellent. Make sure they get the memo. Otherwise I will blame you, accident or not."</span><br/><br/>Still laughing, Alice held Peter's hand and walked back to the hospital with him. She had to admit it felt good to walk like that with him. It was the kind of thing that made her feel comfortable. Which, on a strange paradox, made her feel a little worried that she had barely met Peter and already felt that comfortable with him.<br/><br/>When Maria gave them that grin, Alice felt her cheeks burning, and looked away. She felt even more uncomfortable with Serge's words. <span style="color: #4040FF">"What is it with everyone jinxing me?"</span>, she protested. <span style="color: #4040FF">"You won't need such knowledge, relax. Peter and I just had this really serious conversation."</span><br/><br/>Alice let Peter speak as she was done, though the policewoman knew that something funny would be coming out of his lips. And there it was, as expected. Before Peter could finish, Alice slapped the back of his head.<br/><br/>She couldn't help but grin when Peter turned to her in that mock angry posture. <span style="color: #4040FF">"Well, I told you not to say anything funny..."</span> Alice took one step closer to Peter and stole a quick kiss. <span style="color: #4040FF">"But you are always funny, even when you're not trying to be... <span style="font-style: italic">honey</span>."</span></div>
