Chapter 20

As Shane approached the plane, it quickly receded as if yanked from underneath by a giant hand. The abrupt movement from the leviathan displaced the adjacent water. Without warning the resulting power of the wake whisked Shane out into the open bay. He tried frantically to swim forward but was slammed by another wave that sent him under. When he came up, fighting under the strangling weight of his vest and rifle, he was embroiled in a thick mist. Another wave rushed him from behind but he managed to stay above the water as it carried him further into the bay.

He choked on a mouthful of chilly water and shook his head, trying to clear his stinging eyes. Shane thought he could make out the figures of four people swimming towards shore but their murky outlines were quickly swallowed by the fog. He fought to stay afloat under the increasing tempo of the undercurrent. He was getting too far away from the shore and knew he either had to start shedding precious items or make it to safety before he was exhausted.

A fierce breeze wafted over his head and he could see the fog part slightly, revealing a metal buoy in the moonlight, sixty feet away. He grit his teeth and began swimming before it was lost. Minutes later and with searing arms, he pulled himself up onto the donut-shaped platform. Shane clung to the eight-foot-high metal tower that rose from the center and tried to catch his breath. He could hear garbled voices crackling in his earpiece—it was Carlie. He could hear her shouting at the others to follow her to a nearby building. Shane frantically tapped his earmic, calling out her name but got no response. Shit—where are they? I have to get to them—must save them. He wanted to peel off all his accouterments and dive in after his friends—after Carlie. His eyes darted wildly around the murky surroundings, searching for any signs of the others while his heart sank with each wave slapping against the buoy. He started to unzip his vest and was going to leap into the waters after them when he saw the glimmer of a light approaching from his left.
