CHAPTER 22
Lincoln sat on the edge of his bunk and picked at the chicken on his plate. Gray shifted restlessly on the opposite bunk, shooting glances around the gym. âDoc,â Lincoln said, sensing that the older man wanted to share his thoughts, âyou want to say something?â
Gray scanned the room again. Satisfied that Red, who was lifting weights, was out of earshot, he leaned toward Lincoln, averting his faced from the watching corner camera. âI must thank you again wholeheartedly for saving my life in the pool and at the sinkhole. I will never forget that.â
âNo worries.â
âI should have trusted you when you saved me at the pool, but I had to be sure that you werenât working for Merrick.â
âI understand. In this place, you need to watch your back twenty-four seven. I get that.â
Gray looked away, embarrassed at not having confided sooner in this man who had now saved his live twice. âPlease forgive me.â
âCome on, Doc.â Lincoln said, overcome with curiosity. âWhatâs on your mind?â
Gray cleared his throat, took one last glance around the gym, and whispered, âIâm sorry for not having told you earlier, butâI know a way off this godforsaken island.â
Lincoln choked on his chicken.
At the sudden outburst, Redâs eyes locked on Lincoln and Gray. He sneered at the interruption, but after a dirty look in their direction, returned to his muscle building.
âHow?â Lincoln whispered.
âA supply ship arrives twice a week from Saipan.â
âWhere?â
âBehind the hotel. Thereâs a loading dock in the lagoon at the base of the plateau. Lockwood was headed there, butâ¦â Gray shrugged. âWith an army of men chasing him, he must have become disoriented.â
âFear does that to a man.â Lincoln eyed Red, who was still lifting weights. âHow do we get to the dock?â
âMounted to the plateauâs escarpment is a heavy-duty elevator for hotel supplies that connects the hotel to the dock. If we can get to that elevator, weâre home free. We can hitch a ride on the ship and be back in Saipan in two days.â
âSounds like a plan.â Since Gray was being upright with him, Lincoln decided that now was the time to repay that honesty. âI havenât been totally up front with you, either. I, too, apologize.â He glanced at the camera mounted high in the corner and casually turned his back from the constant monitoring. âIâm here with a group of people. We crash-landed on this island. Merrickâs people found Christinaâthe woman I told you aboutâand me, but as far as I can tell, they donât know about the others yet. Most likely my people are out looking for us.â
âWhat happens now?â
âWe survive the games, find my friends, and get off this damned island.â
âUnfortunately, my boy, that is easier said than done.â
Lincoln sighed. âYou got that right.â
