The doubt he held burned

through her. "Yeah, right."

"No more talking,"

Kat snapped at them. "We have to preserve what air we got."

Arik took Geary's hand and

squeezed it before he urged her up through the water. Geary obeyed, but as she swam a thousand thoughts went through her mind. Her brother had died over a malfunction in his tank.

She'd always wondered what had

gone through Jason's mind in those last few minutes as he realized his life was about to end. She had to say it sucked. Memories and unfulfilled dreams poured through her with a burning intensity.

She didn't want to die. She

was young and though she hadn't dated much, she still held on to the dream that one day she'd meet a great guy and have kids. That she would grow old with someone who treasured her as much as she treasured him. Was that too much to ask?

There was so much she wanted

to do. And now she might never even see daylight again. It wasn't fair—to come so close to her goal and die before she could finish her quest.

But the worst thought was that

Tory and Thia might be dead. Justina, Teddy, Christof, and all the others…

And it would be her fault. All

her fault. God, how had her father lived with the guilt? No wonder he'd become an alcoholic. In that moment, she had an understanding of him that she'd never had before. She'd spent so much time blaming him that she hadn't even considered the blame he'd reserved for himself. The gnawing pain of knowing he'd endangered his family and the memory of them dying because of his actions.

I am so sorry. Dad. If she got

out of this and if the others were okay, it was over. She would never jeopardize other people again. This was just a stupid dream that wasn't worth another drop of blood. Another life. Atlantis didn't want to be found.

She was through. Suddenly

Geary realized that the water was getting lighter. Looking up, she could see the sunlight refracting in the waves over her head.

Not much farther… Her joy was

tempered by the fear of what she would find there waiting for her. Of what'd happened to the rest of their crew. Horrific images haunted her. Thoughts of Tory and Thia lying facedown in the water. Or disfigured… of them calling out to her for help…

Please, please, please be

okay.

Her throat was getting tighter

as she neared the top. The pain of having no air in her lungs was oppressive and painful. Her lungs burned like fire as even more panic tore through her.

How tragic to die this close to their destination. Just a few feet more and she'd reach the surface.

She began unfastening her

helmet as she kicked up. Her limbs felt so heavy. Her heart was pounding from the strain. She wanted to take a breath so badly but knew that she couldn't.

Please.…

By the time she reached the

top, she had the helmet off. Geary tossed it aside as she finally gulped air.

She was shaking and cold as water rushed into her suit.
