Bye Bye Bimini. Thanks for having us. You were the best.

I know I’m drunk when I’m having an imaginary conversation with an inanimate object, especially one as large and untalkative as a tropical island. I’m definitely wasted but so what? I’m young and I’m living my best life. It would be weirder if I weren’t.

From my position at the back of the boat I am taking in the view as we slowly leave the tranquil Caribbean behind and head back to the craziness of America. I’m momentarily on my own as Ryan has gone to one of the multitude of bathrooms below deck and, while I could easily find myself somebody to talk to amongst the heaving mass of partygoers behind me, for now I’m happy just to chill on my lonesome.

That is until I feel my mobile phone vibrating in my hand.

We’re not that far from the island yet, so we must still be getting signal on our phones. I decide to answer the call, aware that soon we will be out at sea and any communication then will have to wait until Miami.

The caller ID is withheld and usually I wouldn’t entertain speaking to somebody who doesn’t want me to know who is calling but the high levels of alcohol coursing to my brain means I want a chat and so I connect the call.

‘Aloha’ I say, aware that this is a customary greeting in Hawaii and not the Caribbean. But I go with it because I am feeling all tropical and sun-kissed after a day on the beach.

‘You need to get off the yacht now.’

The voice at the other end is masculine and deep.

‘Who is this?’ I ask, swaying a little, which is possibly being caused by the boat moving over the waves but is more likely to be caused by how tipsy I am right now.

‘Listen to me. If you don’t get off that yacht now, everybody you care about will die.’

That last part sobers me up quickly.

‘What are you talking about?’ I demand to know. If this is some kind of a joke, then I’m not laughing.

‘Jump off the yacht before you get too far away from the island’ the man at the other end of the phone tells me, in the same harsh tone in which he delivered his earlier instruction.

But that isn’t enough to make me leave my boyfriend and best friend behind. I need more information.

‘Tell me who this is, right now. I mean it’ I reply, trying to make myself sound just as firm. As I wait for the answer, I notice that my free hand is gripping the steel rail at the back of the yacht extremely tightly.

‘I am trying to help you. But you have to get off that yacht now. If you don’t then everybody you care about is at risk. That includes your friends and your boyfriend.’

I look over my shoulder back to the party and desperately hope to see Ryan making his way towards me through the crowded dancefloor.
