Kathy didn't need to be asked twice. It was easy to tell that she would rather stay with Tom, but there was no doubt about who the best person was for this kind of mission. She was as fearless as she was pretty, and she was very pretty.

The rest of the group had to be told they were leaving, so we all gathered one last time in the dining area. We agreed that the Chief and Kathy were going to go to the Coast Guard base to try to find an armed boat that was small enough for them to operate on their own but also big enough to tow the line laying barge. Their main job, though, was to hide from the convoy of gunboats that we spotted along the coast. There wasn't much time, so the Chief just kept the explanation simple. We would be stranded on Fort Sumter until someone else came along with a boat, and we didn't want to just take what we needed. We needed to keep what we had.

We gathered up some gear for them to take along. A few days of rations, light weapons and ammunition were all loaded into the boat along with some foul weather gear and a folding tent.

Four of us went to the surface. Doctor Bus, Olivia, and Chase all stayed behind. Bus was at the consoles in the control room showing Olivia and Chase how to operate the cameras.

There was still Molly who would be upset to find her mother was dead, and she would certainly be confused by a relationship between Kathy and Tom so soon.

Tom tossed in the stern lines while I took care of the bow. The Chief looked at both of us and said something about us taking care of things while they were gone. Then he added that I would get my hug when he got back.

Normally I would have been stumped and unable to give him a suitable comeback, but I surprised him enough that he could only laugh and give us a salute.

"I'm going to hold you to that promise, big guy," I said.

We gave them a hard shove, and the Chief started the engine. They were just pulling away and fading into the darkness when the lights came on. Tom and I only had a second to see that they were already out of sight, then we ran up the dock. Our side
