As much as I hated to admit it, Riva had been right. The moment we arrived at the marina, I spotted several men that might potentially fit the description that the witness had provided to the police. Just like he’d said, multiple men were scattered along a stretch of what couldn’t really be called a beach because there wasn’t really sand as much as there were rocks and dirt.

Some had tattoos, more than a few were sweaty and covered in dirt from having worked on and around boats that entire day, and you might even call a few “scary” as the woman had claimed: big, muscular, and not very friendly looking. Still, none of them were sporting the distinctive snake tattoos I’d seen on the corpses in the sunken ship.

The marina itself was curious, unlike any I’d seen before. A semi-circle of tall, brightly colored buildings spanned the perimeter of the marina, just feet away from the water. Just above the first line of buildings, more were built into the side of the hill itself, stretching all the way up the side of the mountain that towered above the marina below. It was a sight to behold, and I found myself wondering how those buildings stayed stable. They looked like they might topple over during a bad storm or a sudden earthquake.

“There’s the pier he mentioned,” Holm remarked as he pointed up at the structure in question. It was wooden and painted stark white, and it jutted out through the middle of the marina, surrounded on both sides by boats of various shapes and sizes. As we approached, I could see people standing around on it. A few sets of couples stood at the very end, leaning against the railing and wrapped in each other's arms as they stared out into the water. A group of kids was playing further down, running up and down the length of the pier while their mother attempted to wrangle them. A few feet from the rambunctious kids, a pair of teenage girls were sitting on the edge of the pier, one of them crying while the other patted her friend’s back consolingly. Both had their legs dangling through the bars of the railing and phones in their hands.

“Anyone see anything?” I asked as we stepped onto the pier where the woman was supposedly standing when she saw the group of suspicious men. I could see plenty of boats from here, but none matched the description of the orange emergency raft that the witness had described.

“No,” Hills grunted in response.

“She said that she confronted them,” Gabriella mused out loud as she slowly stepped back off the pier and onto the short stretch of dirt that led to the water. “She started yelling at them, and they ignored her and walked off toward the city. That would be that way.” She pointed through a large opening between two of the buildings encircling the marina. “Unless they walked all the way around, there’s no other way to leave the marina.
