Chapter Eight

Two days later, Jena pulled into her parking spot. She pulled her things into her cottage and plopped in front of the TV. She almost groaned as the first thing that popped on was yet another talking head reporting about the explosion. She leaned over to change the channel when it finally caught her attention.

"As authorities continue to comb the wreckage there are still no casualties reported. At this time, all workers have been accounted for. At this point, it appears there have been no deaths. The plant explosion is still considered of unknown origins, but no indications of outside materials have been found."

Jena sat back, mulling over the news. Not that it mattered, as the heat on their organization died down, Don would go back to work and they would all forget about her. At least she wasn't in love with murderers.

As she lay on the couch, there was pounding on the door. Vera burst into the house in tears and grabbed her. She pulled Jena outside, then into her cottage. She shoved an envelope into Jena's hands.

"Vera, what is going on?"

"Oh Jena, it's Don, they've taken him."

Jena sank into a chair and said, "I don't understand, who?"

"I don't know who it was. He just swept in last night, grabbed him. Said if I called the police we were both dead."

Jena wrapped her arms around Vera and rocked with her.

"He was very angry you weren't here, that's when he left the note for you."

"Did you read it?"

"No. They said they were watching. I believed them."

"So they know I'm here."

Vera nodded and whispered, "I'm so sorry. I should have just gone..."

"No Vera, you were right." Jena stopped and pulled open the note. It was brief.

Meet on the island in the bay. There is a boat waiting at the dock.

"Okay, Vera, I'm not going to let them hurt Don. Did Don ever give you any 'in case of emergency' instructions or contact information?"

Vera paused and said, "No, I mean, yes, he definitely gave me emergency contact numbers. You know I keep the neighborhood emergency list updated." Vera pulled some papers off the refrigerator, and flipped it to Don's entry. She said, "Yes, a young man, Matt Jack. Strange name, perhaps I copied it wrong."

Jena felt a rush of relief.

Vera looked at her and frowned, "He said our phones where tapped. How will we call them?"

Jena frowned, "Everything I've ever read is about how sophisticated modern surveillance equipment is. Have you noticed anything unusual the last few weeks?"

Vera shook her head, but reached into the drawer and pulled out a pen and paper. She quickly scribbled a note and handed it to Jena. She had to just hope that they weren't in a crazy spy movie and that they weren't reading the note by listening to the vibrations the pen scratches on paper made in the windows.

"Do you still have your dive gear?"

"Yes. In the boat house."

"We don't have much time. I need a wet suit and tank."

Jena hastily sketched out a plan and Vera nodded in agreement.
