The assistants both bobble heads back without moving. Terry jerks his body at them. They both jump to and quickly rifle out of the car. As soon as the door closes again, Terry gives the driver a thumbs up, followed by a two-finger up and down wiggle. The driver nods and the dark mirrored glass […]
The man enthusiastically shakes his head, then wraps an arm around the waist of Terry’s coat. They both smile, his phone clicks, and then the guard quickly ushers the satisfied man away.

Leaving her with a toothy smile, Terry takes advantage of his assistant’s wrangling of the crowd flow, and makes significant progress towards the door. Barbara allows the masses to swarm past her, until her and Silvio stand by themselves. She flashes him the ‘cut’ sign, and he lowers his camera.

Nobody shakes his head and chuckles. Then he takes four big steps back and bolts towards the edge. Determined to top her effort, he does not leap, but dives off the cliff, to slice into the cool waters half a hundred feet below.
