They searched the waters near the shoal for the next three days, recalculating the grid to stay in the area around the cannons. The professor had lectures scheduled at the college and was forced to return to Jamaica, but Eddie Markham appeared that third day, back from the States and grinning from ear to ear at the news of their discovery.

“I got your message. Congratulations.” He was wearing perfectly creased white Bermuda shorts, a flowered shirt, and a flat-brimmed Panama hat. A pair of Gucci sunglasses hid his dark eyes.

“Thanks.”

He turned to Hope. “Well, I guess you got your story.”

“Yes, I guess I did.”

“I can’t wait to see the treasure. Up until now, I’ve only seen pictures of stuff like that.”

“Come on, then. Follow me.” Conn led the way to the chart room, Hope and Eddie walking along behind him. The treasure was locked in the captain’s small safe. Conn took it out and spread it on a soft cloth on top of the teakwood table.

Eddie stared down at the beautiful artifacts they had found, his hands slightly trembling as he picked up the golden cross.

“The public will want to know about this.” He reached into the pocket of his shorts and pulled out a newspaper clipping. “I saw this in the Miami Herald when I was at the airport. I figured you’d want to see it.”

It was only a small article relaying news of the discovery; there weren’t any photos.

“Once they see a picture of this cross, the story will spread all over the globe.”

“I’ll be turning in my second article this week,” Hope said. “The photos Tommy took will be on Adventure’s Internet site a couple of days after that.”

A muscle tightened along Conn’s jaw. He didn’t like the idea, she knew, but she was there to do a job and she intended to do it.

At least Eddie Markham looked pleased. “That’s certainly a start. Where’s the Tyler kid now? I imagine he’s got some great stuff, right?”

“I heard that.” Tommy descended the ladder to the chart room. “And yeah, I’ve got some really great stuff, if I do say so myself. As word gets out, the wire service will probably be after some of it.”

“I’d love to see what you’ve got.”

“No problem. Come with me and I’ll show you.”

Eddie and Tommy left the chart room, leaving Hope alone with Conn.

“The more this story gets out,” he said darkly, “the more people we’ll have poking around here. I hope to hell this doesn’t bring us a shitload of trouble.”

Hope said nothing. For Conn’s sake, she hoped so, too.
