22- NICOLAS

Bullshit. Nicolas could smell it, but what he didn’t know was exactly what his senses were detecting.

Ana had mentioned these boys before. The younger brother she hadn’t met yet (Had been avoiding, Nicolas thought). But Jonathan St. Andrews... Nicolas knew she didn’t like him. Their interactions had been very unpleasant, enough that she had taken the time to talk about the man’s rudeness at length with Nicolas.

So now he was supposed to accept she was hanging out, drinking hot cider, and playing Yahtzee with them? Something about that was not sitting right. Then there had been a marked changed in Alex’s tone. On the first call, he sounded annoyed. On the second, he was overly eager to help. Nicolas felt pretty certain Alex wasn’t being forthcoming, but what he could not understand, no matter how much he racked his brain, was why.

He considered a Deliverance-style situation. Obviously they had to eat during the winter. Then he imagined a sex-slave ring where she was sold to some Ukrainians. She was thirty, but still had her looks, and she could easily still pass for twenty-two in the right light. It wasn’t that far-fetched.

Even at his most imaginative, though, Nicolas had a hard time believing they were keeping her as a food source or a means of income. But if not those scenarios, then what?

Nicolas made some phone calls. First he checked into flights, and although some were cancelled, they expected to have more operational the following week into Portland, and sooner into Boston. He then checked the Coast Guard, and they recommended he call the Casco Bay Ferry service. The man there told him even if he could get a flight into the area, getting to the island was a no-go for a while. Sometimes, he said, when the winters were wicked harsh, the ferries might not run at all. He told Nicolas there were some private services, but they were even less likely to run in bad weather.

Nicolas was stuck with information he was fairly certain to be inaccurate, and no means of going there to check for himself. No, he did not like this situation at all, and was beyond the point of denying how much it was bothering him.

His options: Sit back and let the helplessness consume him… or find a way to get on to that island and help Ana?
