“You’re really going to leave the ship, dearie?” Nellie asked.

“Yes,” Angie answered loud enough even for Harold Cockburn to hear her with his hearing aid turned down. “We’re going to the Hotel del Sud. We’ll be back when the ship’s repaired, I guess.”

“Be careful out there,” Nellie cried. “We’re staying on board ourselves.”

“I thought you wanted to leave,” Angie said.

“We changed our minds. Anyway, the cabin’s paid for, even if it is a tad warm.”

A tad? “Okay. We’ll see you in a day or so,” Angie said as Paavo and Julio appeared on deck with their bags. “Bye.”

“So long, dearie,” Nellie said.

When they reached the bottom of the gangway, Julio steered them toward customs and the harbormaster’s office, where they had to show their papers before being allowed into the country. Paavo gave Julio a tip and Julio gave them his best wishes, glancing longingly toward Angie before he hurried away.

“Mazatlán might not be so bad after all,” Paavo muttered, watching the retreating steward.

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t hear you,” Angie said.

“Nothing,” he replied. As they lined up to show their papers, he turned to her and spoke in a normal tone. “Back on the ship, what was all the shouting about with Nellie?”

“Just wanted to be sure everyone knew where we were staying—in case what Livingstone said was true,” she explained.

Paavo had to suppress a grin. As always with Angie, when she got involved with something, she went at it full tilt.
