Chapter 11

Trevor and I headed down to the dining deck, where we found Bret and Clint in the bar. It was a bit early to be hitting the hard stuff, but given the circumstances, I guess I couldn’t blame them.

“I see you decided to ignore Evan’s advice to stay in your cabins,” I said, sliding onto a barstool next to Bret.

“Cynthia is driving me crazy,” Bret said. “She is sure we are all going to die of some horrific, flesh-eating bacteria or spore-causing virus that will ruin her perfect complexion for all eternity.”

Clint chuckled. “Leave it to Cynthia to worry about how she is going to look in her final moments when there are so many better things to worry about.”

“I’m not sure there is a transmittable virus on board, despite what Evan suggested,” I said. “At least not one that is airborne. Trevor and I have been talking about it, and we realized that if there is a virus, we’ve probably already been affected by it. If we’re going to come down with it, it’s too late to worry about it. If we continue to feel fine, we thought we’d try to maintain a semblance of normalcy. Trevor has volunteered to make the meals when the time comes, and I’ll do what I can to try to ensure that everyone is made as comfortable as possible.”

“That would be helpful,” I said. “Trevor and I are going to the kitchen to get started.”

When we were far enough away so as not to be heard, Trevor asked the question that had been at the forefront of my own mind. “I wonder if Evan is still in the engine room, and if he isn’t, I wonder where he might have gone.”

“What you are really wondering is if it is safe to snoop. I’ve been trying to decide the same thing.”

“No one was in Harris’s cabin when Alyson checked earlier, and I have a feeling that, in addition to Evan’s stateroom, it might not be a bad place to start. We can try breaking in.”

“I’ll see if Alyson is finished helping Lucy move on. If she is, we can have her scout things out and then keep watch while we’re inside.”

We headed to the kitchen first, stopping along the way to check on the status of the door which led to the engine room and bridge. If it was unlocked, we planned to wander in, acting as if we were lost. But the door was still locked, so we continued on. We would need a
