Carol stood to the side while sailors carried in their equipment and stacked it neatly to the sides. On occasion, she would spot something and point out where it went. Dr. Broussard rifled through things and did his best to wipe off the salt water that had sprayed onto the sensitive gear, praying that nothing was damaged in the move.

“I’m impressed that they salvaged as much as they did.”

Carol nodded, “Me too.”

“They can save your stuff but they couldn’t pull a stack of petri dishes from the incubator for me?” Kevin kicked at a metal case then dropped to sit on it, nursing his ankle. “And where are the others? Surely we aren’t all that survived Vivian’s temper tantrum.”

Carol turned on him, her face livid. “Don’t you even!” She marched toward him, her finger pointing in his face. Her voice dropped to a hoarse whisper. “Don’t you dare belittle what she went through. Yes, Vivian LaRue was a total bitch to work for but she’s a co-discoverer of this plague and she fell to it. We know damned good and well what this virus does to people thanks to Charles and his sacrifice.”

“Sacrifice?” Kevin made no effort to lower his voice as he slowly came to his feet. “Charles was clumsy and got scratched by an infected person.” He turned a slow circle, his arms outstretched. “And speaking of your cured patient, where the hell is he? Is he just walking around the ship like he owns the place? Is he gonna lose it and scratch somebody and make us abandon ship again?”

Carol stepped closer and got in his face. “He was locked in an isolation ward. The same isolation ward that Vivian broke into and…” She swallowed hard, the words not coming out. “So now what’s left of our one, single, cured patient is lying at the bottom of the ocean in an iron coffin.” Her jaw quivered with anger as she berated the man. “Maybe you should be more careful with what you let slip out of your mouth.”

Kevin stood to his full height and glared at her. “Who died and left you in charge, huh?”

Broussard stepped between the two. “I believe that would be Dr. LaRue.” He towered over the two researchers and shook his head. “Be professional. Or, at least be civil. The fate of mankind may well depend on the three of us continuing our work.”
