  2. Gloria VanceTwo sea otters rest in the shallows, one floating on its back, the other lying on its side, and ripples spread around them in perfect silence.

  3. Dale BearmanThey're not doing anything, Gloria. They're just lying there. I've never respected anyone more.

  4. Gloria VanceLook at this. For ten seconds, nothing in the frame wants anything. Then an arm appears at the edge, reaching toward them.

  5. Dale BearmanWho's the arm?

  6. Gloria VanceThe only party in the water with an agenda. I have covered ministries that were less obvious.

  7. Dale BearmanI'm calling the one on its back Clive, and Clive has not consented to any of this. The ripples saw everything.
