Chapter 23

As they returned to their towels, the winds kicked up, and moments later they were

shivering as a disapproving blanket of clouds slid in, blocking the sun. So they

gathered up their possessions hastily, then scampered back through the water into

the Sundancer just as the first sprinkles dotted its windscreen.

After a full-throttle reverse and a tipsy U-turn, they were headed out to sea.

You should've known better than to go there alone with him.

How could you let that happen?

They didn't talk. Arthur was just too stressed, and a bit frightened; he knew nothing

about operating the vessel's complicated navigation equipment, and hoped he

wouldn't have to try. So he pushed the throttle all the way forward once again, and

hoped they could outrun the belly of the squall.

That was a big mistake.

But navigating the craft before a blustering headwind proved more of a challenge

than he'd imagined. For one thing, the tank had been less than half full when they'd

left the marina, and now, with the engine straining against the gale, the V-8

devoured its fuel greedily. And the waves buffeting the craft necessitated his

overcorrecting their wagging trajectory; it felt as if there were another boat tied to

their stern, dragging them off course. But by and by the marina swung into view,

and they managed to pull alongside the dock just as the downpour broke.

What're you gonna do now?

"Are you OK?" Jeremy asked as he threw down the bumpers and Arthur wheeled

the helm back and forth, trying to get as far inside their berth as he could without

careening into it.

"Yeah!" he barked over the bray of the engine as he threw it into reverse. "I'm just glad we got back OK!"

You fucked up. Big-time.

Jeremy waited until the boat was close enough to hop onto the dock, then jumped.

Arthur threw him the ropes, and he tied them as best he could just as a big wave

rolled in and squished the boat up against its dangling bumpers. Then, with the

craft securely in place, Arthur cut the engine, tossed their belongings to Jeremy and

jumped onto the dock.

You should've stopped it while you could.

You could've, you know.

While squinting against the rain Jeremy smiled sheepishly, and Arthur did his best

to smile back. "Come on," he told him, and slapped him on the shoulder.

They jogged by the unfinished waterfront up to their suite.

Something really bad is gonna happen now.

Moments later they were standing with water pooling at their feet inside the suite,

with the sliding doors shut securely against the relentless deluge.

"God, the weather here sure turns fast," Jeremy remarked as he peeled off his wet shirt.

"It's like that in the tropics. But it'll go away as quickly as it came."

"Do you think they'll be flying in this?"

"I hope not." He shivered from his own sopping T-shirt and shorts. "Do you want to take a shower first or should I?"

Jeremy looked at him beseechingly. Then he got the message. "You go."

"Sure?"

He nodded.

"I'll be quick. And then we can talk, OK?"

Jeremy blinked silently.

"I think you'll agree that we need to talk. All right?"

He folded his arms across his chest and nodded.
