NAYA
11:16 P.M.
Rain began to fall. A sudden deluge of fat, cold drops that slapped Naya right in the face. Overhead, the sky cracked, and a flash of lightning splintered the black blanket of night. As if energized by the discharge of electricity, the waves swelled. They clawed at the oversized yachtâPoseidon come to life to drag them down to the oceanâs depths.
Or maybe Naya was being dramatic. Not that being on a boat with a murderer didnât entitle her to some overwrought emotions.
âOne of you did this!â Taylorâs shout was highlighted by another clap of thunder. âAnd Iâm not waiting around for you to kill me, too. Iâm going to my room and locking myself in.â Lightning flashed, illuminating her pale skin and wide, frenzied eyes.
âTaylorââ Naya stepped forward, but Taylor held up her hands.
âNaya, if you were smart, youâd come with me or find someplace else to hide.â She backed away. âI donât trust any of them, and you shouldnât, either.â
Thunder rolled overhead like a train as Taylor turned and sprinted from the beach club.
Naya rushed after her. Taylor wasnât thinking clearly. Sheâd just lost one of her friends and her boyfriend in the most horrific ways, but she couldnât keep running off by herself. There was strength in numbers, and Naya genuinely believed that her friends were innocent. It had to be a third party. Besides, if one of her friends was responsible, they had to remain in a group to subdue the killer when they struck again.
The thought made Naya cold even as she ran, lungs burning and heart beating against her ribs.
Naya galloped down the hallway, as the door to their room slammed shut and the lock clicked into place.
Music continued to play, wafting into the corridor from Derekâs cabin, where he and Amelia remained tucked away, blatantly ignoring the chaos tearing the boat apart. To be honest, she couldnât blame them.
âTaylor!â Naya shouted, knocking on the cabin door. âWhat are you doing? Itâs not safe, and I donât have my key. Open up.â
âLeave me alone!â came Taylorâs muted reply.
âTaylorââ
âLeave me alone!â
âFine.â Naya sighed. She supposed that if sheâd just seen Ãtienneâs dead body, she wouldnât want to be around anyone, either. âBut stay locked in our room and donât open the door for anyone.â
âLeave me alone!â
Naya backed away from the door, hands up in surrender. âI am! Iâll just find my way back, then.â
She walked past Derekâs door, throwing it a cutting glance before going back down the corridor. She and Ãtienne should have locked themselves in her room as soon as sheâd found out he was on the boat and before heâd confessed to being a complete klepto. Ignorance was sometimes bliss.
Naya let out a long exhale and stopped in the center of the hall where it branched off to the right and the left. Turn or keep going straight? Sheâd never approached the beach club from this part of the boat. To be honest, sheâd been too lost in thought to even be sure of how many turns sheâd already taken.
