sides.  This is the key. Don’t spend it and don’t lose it!”  Shane looked directly at Nuekirk.  “We’re putting a lot of trust in you.  I trust Ari’s judgment that’s why you’re on the team.  If you want to be a starter, though, you need to earn it.   Mr. Shew is the best teacher you can have at this particular time and in these particular circumstances.  Listen to him and Learn from him.  I won’t promise you riches but I will promise you that you will learn to be a leader and your days of stowing away on ships will be a memory of the past.”
    Not waiting for a reply Shan e continued.  “Ok let me show you how this works.”
    Shane showed Shew how to operate the coin device.  “It has a password on it so that only you or I can operate it.  I felt it best that the fewer people that could produce coin the better.  If the world was suddenly flooded with too much gold and silver it could be harmful to the economy.   I also put a limit on how much can be produced at a time in case you get pulled away and you have to leave it running; and only I can override that.”
    Shane turned to leave.  “Hey what is the password,” Shew demanded.
    “When you activate the device it will ask you in your mind.  You will answer the same way.  That way no one will ever know what it is asking and how you answer.  Good luck,” Shane smiled and headed to the wheelhouse.
    As Shane walked on deck he heard Ari and Roger conversing.  “This has got to be it,” Ari spoke matter-of-factly.
    “I agree monsieur,” said Roger in return.
    “Did you find her?” asked Shane as he stepped into the room.
    “We might have,” answered Ari despondently.  “At least where she is likely being held; It’s the most heavily guarded room but unfortunately it is empty.  Which means,” he paused, “she is most likely being interrogated.”

    Leslie struck hard and fast as the guard neared her cell. Using the linens from her cot she had constructed a braided rope that had allowed her to lasso her guard as he approached the cell.  Waiting for him to get as close as possible and just as he turned away from her and the other guard had reached the end of the hall she had acted.  With the rope around the nearest guard’s neck she yanked hard and slammed his head into the iron bars and he collapsed. Carefully not to touch the unconscious guard she reached through the bars and unbuckled the energy band and placed it on her own wrist.  The other guard turned and saw his collapsed partner and began to run to his aid.  Leslie reached through the bars and grasped the fallen guards face and began draining his energy.  She felt the flow stop as the guards life ceased.  Wincing to herself she muttered, “Sorry.” 
    As the other guard arrived at the door she finished her rapid search of the guard and was dismayed to find that he did not have the keys.  Grabbing her makeshift rope she retrieved it from around the dead guard’s neck and hurriedly repeated the process with the newly arrived guard.  Her quickness took the guard by surprise and she was able fling the rope around his neck but because he was facing her she was unable to put pressure on his throat sufficient to strangle him.  Instead she yanked him hard into the bars and with all the strength she could muster.  Holding the rope with one hand she made a fist with the other and hit him with all the force she could under the the bridge of his nose with an upward motion.  With the energy that she had drained from the first guard and the wrist band that she now had canceling out the effect from her adversaries wristband the blow was a bone cracking success.  The second guard was dead.
    Searching the second guard resulted in producing a set of keys with which she opened the door.  Carefully she retrieved the second armband and placed it on her other arm and the drug both men into her cell and locked it.
    Leslie hurried down the corridor and carefully
