Chapter Twenty-One

During the run to Bluefields, Ryan had Oscar scan the documents they’d retrieved from Valdez’s safe deposit box into the computer. Scott had left his Trident document kit with Ryan when he’d gotten off the plane in Texas City. Using the hand scanner, it only took a matter of minutes to run the device down one page after another and to have it appear as a PDF file on the computer. The technology impressed Oscar, and he said he had to use an ancient scanner-printer combination in his commander’s office, which would have taken him hours to upload everything.

When Oscar finished, he called Ryan down from the bridge. Ryan encrypted the email and sent it to Barry Thatcher. A few minutes later, he received one from Barry, which included an outlandish price.

After reading it, Ryan whistled. “Oscar, how do you feel about parting with some of that cash you stole?”

“If it means that I find the killer, then yes.”

“Well, it’s going to cost a bundle.”

With a shake of his head, Oscar said, “Your friend Barry is not cheap.”

“No, he’s not, but it will be worth it.” Ryan went back to the bridge and sat behind the wheel, his feet up on the dash. They were miles from anywhere, and the vast Caribbean Sea rolled out to the horizon in every direction. He sipped coffee and thought about their next course of action.

Several hours later, Rick came up to the bridge to take the next watch. Ryan called Emily to give her an update on their location but told her little about what had happened in Panama, only that they were wading through the information they’d retrieved from the bank.

“When will you be back?” she asked.

“I’m not sure. We’ll spend the night in Nicaragua and go from there. Barry is working on our file.”

“Well, hurry back, sailor. I miss you.”

“I miss you, too, babe. I gotta go. I love you.”

“Love you, too,” she replied.

Ryan hung up the phone and sat at the table, staring out the window at the setting sun. While it was nice to have someone waiting for him to return, but he couldn’t afford to get sentimental or let his guard down when he was operational.

It could only spell disaster for him and his team.
