Robert looked out over the open ocean and rubbed a hand over his eyes. Some people would find a few days of luxury cruising relaxing, but it was hard to relax with Malia boarded up in the stateroom below deck and fuming at him.

On some level, he understood her anger. He was sure that if the tables had been turned, he wouldn’t have been too forgiving. But he still missed her. The past four days had been one long boring run, which was a shame, because one of the most interesting people he’d ever met was right beneath him and pretending he didn’t exist.

He’d figured she’d at least acknowledge his presence at some point, but she’d only come out of the room to grab food from the kitchen and then she’d go right back to the bedroom. She had taken the books and magazines he’d left for her, but she hadn’t said a single word.

That worried him more than any amount of screaming and anger she could throw his way. He’d expected that. He expected her to throw things or even try to kill him. That was who Malia was. She was passionate and strong. Not this withdrawn ghost of a person.

But after days of going back and forth with a police department with no leads, a security team with a whole server filled with security footage and no images they could use, and mounting evidence that whoever was after him was closing in more and more, he couldn’t think of leaving her on the island alone. He needed to get her away from Hawaii as soon as possible, but any time he brought up the very notion, she’d shut him down.

So let her hate him. At least she’d be alive and angry. That would have to be enough for now.

Footsteps sounded behind him and Robert took another swig of his Scotch. “Are we still on track, Mike?”

“So Mike is the evil captain?”

Robert twisted around to see Malia at the entrance to the stairs. She looked surprisingly good considering she’d been living as a shut-in for the better part of a week. She wore a white pair of shorts. This must be a new pair, because all of her original clothes seemed to be well worn and frayed at the edges or cut off from pants. On top, she wore a navy-blue tank top and her oversized denim shirt still spattered with the red paint.

Robert remembered that she’d asked a question. “Mike is the captain, yes.”

Malia ran a hand through her hair and squinted to look out over the water as the bright sun reflected off the waves. “I really wish this boat had cable. You need to write that into your next kidnapping plan.”

“Noted.”

She walked to the edge of the bow and he followed her every movement, a mixture of surprise that she was even there and caution that she was about to make a jump for it. But she never seemed suicidal...

“Aren’t you bored?” She leaned against the railing, looking at the water passing below them.
