Noah hauled traps late to compensate for lost days and, without a sternman, slower work. By the time he tied up at the slip and scrubbed down the boat, it was nearly ten. A few late diners were on the Grill deck, but they were finishing up. No matter that it was Friday night, with more tourists around than had been there the weekend before, most locals were home in bed. Saturday was a lobstering day. Hauling began with the sun, and the sun didn’t sleep in. Acutely aware of that, Noah shouldered his things and started down the dock.

“About time,” said John Roman, meeting him before he had gone far. “I won’t ask why you’re so late, but I gotta warn you. If you were out there shooting, you’d best bury the gun. They filed a complaint.”

Noah paused. “Who filed a complaint?”

“The fruit guys. Someone’s taking potshots at the hull of their boat, right at the waterline.”

Noah smiled. “Did it sink?”

“Nah,” said John with a slanted smile of his own. “They plugged up the holes and reported it to my buddy Charlie Andress over on West Rock. Charlie isn’t stupid. He knows where Haber and Welk are dropping their lines, so he knows who’s annoyed.”

Noah started walking again. “What’s he want you to do about it?”

John fell into step. “Warn you, I guess.”

“Hey, it wasn’t me.”

“You were the one suggested it to the trap group.”

Noah had nothing to hide. “I suggested it and would have done it in a minute, but the others voted it down. They chose knots, so I’ve been knotting. That’s it. If there are holes in the hull, the bullet’s from someone else’s gun. Maybe it’s the same gun that shot Artie.”

“Uh, nope,” John said, scratching the back of his head just below the line of his cap. “Don’t think that’s so. The Coast Guard called this afternoon. They found that gun in the wreck of The Beast.”
