Zach and his team were diving, but Morgan had stayed on deck to keep an eye on things. Dec and Coop had gone down with the archeologists. She spotted Hale walking on the balcony surrounding the bridge and gave him a nod.

She eyed the clouds gathering in the sky, and then glanced down at the choppy waves. It was nothing to be worried about yet, but she planned to keep an eye on it. Then, her gaze snagged on a boat hanging around in the distance, back toward Tolagnaro. It had been there for the last hour. She frowned, then turned and climbed up the steps to the bridge.

She caught Hale’s gaze. “You see that boat?”

“Yep. Definitely watching us.”

She walked onto the bridge. Diego was looking out the window with a set of binoculars. “You’ve noticed the boat.”

“I see them,” the man answered. “Local fishing boat, but there are also a few foreigners on board.”

Morgan paused beside him, looking out the window. “Treasure hunters?”

Diego nodded. “Be my guess. People in town are bound to talk. They saw us come in, gather supplies, and leave port.”

She considered the boat. “If it was Silk Road, we wouldn’t see them. Keep an eye on the vessel, and if they come any closer or put anyone in the water, let me know.”

“You got it. I’m more worried about the storm coming in. It’s looking like it will pass to the west of us, though.”

She looked at the sullen clouds. “Keep me posted on that, as well.”

Morgan headed back out onto the deck and her watch beeped. The divers should be back now. A few seconds later, she saw heads popping out of the water beside the Nymph.

Blondie and her friend were talking a mile a minute. Morgan reached down and gripped Charity’s hand, pulling her up, then Jasmin. Morgan helped them out of their tanks. “What did you guys find?”

Charity wrung out her ponytail. “It was so amazing—”

Zach’s head broke the surface and he shoved his mask up. “We need the ROV with the salvage arm.” He was grinning at her.

Damn him for having those sexy dimples. “What did you find?”

“Some chests.”

She remembered the manifest. Chest of diamonds. Zach pulled himself out, water streaming down his body.

She turned and saw Marc nearby. “We need the ROV. The big one.”

The man nodded. “I’ll get her ready.”

As the divers all got their gear off, Marc and Turner got the ROV prepped. Soon, Oceanid was loaded onto the crane arm.

Morgan stacked empty tanks, and then set new ones out. A small team of divers was planning to accompany the ROV. The next batch of divers suited up, ready to go in with Oceanid. This time Taye, Max, Coop and Hale were going down.

The crane arm slowly swung out over the side of the ship, and then the ROV was lowered into the water. The divers entered, and soon, they all disappeared beneath the choppy waves.

Oceanid had to be controlled from the computer room, and Morgan found Diego in a big, battered chair, in front of a large screen displaying a live feed from under the water.
