Chapter 17

Ashe stood on the edge of the cliff and stared out over the ocean. The Veritas was still anchored on the far side of the outer islands. The speedboat lingered in the calm waters between Atlantis and its harbor islands.

Varun limped forward to stand beside her. “Jinn can’t fly. Are you going to send a tornado to get their attention or just yell directly into Jackson’s head?”

She did not look at him; she merely held out the satellite phone from the backpack she had retrieved at the entrance into the aether well.

“Oh.” Varun had the grace to flush. He took the phone from her and made a call. “Hey, Jackson…Yeah, we’re both all right. We’ll need a pick up. Did we find…uh—” He glanced at Duggae. “Yeah, we found a couple of things. Picked up a couple of lasting souvenirs too.” He winced at the shrill note on the other side. Ondine, obviously. “It’s not serious. Just a little bite. Corey will be able to take care of it on the ship…No, I don’t need a med evac. I do have a hell of a story to tell, though. Will you put Jackson back on? Hey, man.” Varun’s tone of relief was audible. “Yeah, I can send up a flare.” He glanced over his shoulder as Ashe dug through the backpack for a red flare, and released it. The crimson burst shot straight up, propelled, in part, by a helpful little breeze. “You see it? Great. See you in a bit.” He disconnected the call and handed the phone back to Ashe. “Fifteen minutes.” He darted a quick glance at Duggae who was sitting on a rock, his legs outstretched and his arms folded across his chest. “How do we get him on the ship?”

Ashe’s fingers danced out the words. Jinn squawked, “How badly do you need what’s in your backpack?”
