Conrad was yelling into the yacht’s sat phone, relaying what had just happened – or at least trying to. Nobody really understood.

“Something took her right in the water,” he said again to whoever was on the other end of the call. “A goddamn monster rose up out of the ocean and snatched her up in its jaws. It was the size of a bus, I swear to you. I’m heading back to shore, but you need to inspect this area immediately. Whatever is in the water is dangerous.”

Tate was sobbing outside on the deck, so Nat hurried back out to him. She put both arms around him and pulled him close.

“Conrad is calling for help,” she told him.

“Too fuckin’ late. She’s gone, Nat. That thing…what the hell was it?”

“I have no idea. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s jaws…”

Tate pushed her away and went over to the edge of the deck. He glared down into the water and shouted angrily. “Come on, you sonofabitch, show yourself. You got about an hour to live before the coast guard comes and harpoons you right in the fuckin’ heart. Hope you enjoyed your lunch because it’s the last thing you’ll ever eat.”

The boat rocked.

“Shit!”

Nat reached out. “Tate, be careful.”

But Tate tumbled down the deck and fell into the water.

Nat stumbled onto her hands and knees and crawled to the edge of the deck. She shot out her hand to the water. “Tate, grab my hand.”

Tate’s expression was pure terror. He clawed his way through the water, trying to make it to the boat.

Nat urged him to move faster.

Beneath the water a shadow moved.

That same grey boulder rose from the water.

Those same wicked jaws opened wide.

Tate grabbed a hold of Nat’s hand and she immediately started pulling him up and out of the water. She gritted her teeth and groaned as she fought to get his heavy body back onboard. He outweighed her by fifty-pounds.

Then suddenly Tate got much lighter. Nat found herself tumbling backwards onto her back, Tate landed on top of her and the two of them ended up embracing face to face like lovers.

“Tate, Tate, I got you. Are you okay?”

Tate just stared at her.

Then his body slumped sideways onto the deck.

Nat screamed.

When Conrad came out, he found her kneeling next to Tate’s body – but only the top half. Tate had been sliced in two, his legs missing somewhere in the water – or in the guts of that great grey boulder that was hunting them.

Blood pooled onto the deck, running through the channels between the boards, soaking the pants of Nat’s bathing suit as she collapsed weakly onto her side.

“The coast guard are on their way,” Conrad said. “What the hell is happening?”

The boat shook again as the monster crashed against the side of the yacht, making the vessel leap up out of the water before crashing down on the waves. Conrad fell forward, colliding with Nat.

They slid along the deck.

Towards the edge.

Conrad managed to stick a leg against the railing and keep them both from going overboard just in time.
