“How you holding up?” Darren asked Lake as he stepped onto the bridge.

“Oh, I’m great, man,” Lake smirked as he sat in front of the wheel, his left leg in a heavy brace and propped on a stool next to him. “Plan on doing some jogging later.”

“Marty, I’m sorry about your leg,” Darren said, “and everything else that’s happened since we lost the Hooyah and got mixed up with Ballantine.”

“Popeye was the best of us,” Lake said as he turned away from Darren and focused on the horizon. “That man was pure good inside.”

“Yeah, he was,” Darren said, “and when this is done we’ll take care of the man that killed him. Our way. Not Ballantine’s way, not Thorne’s way, but our way. This is between the old crew and that fuck. This isn’t Team Grendel business.”

“I’m glad to hear you say that,” Lake said, “because Team Grendel has enough business to deal with.”

He nodded to the refugee crew that stood on the deck below then looked Darren in the eye.

“You sure they aren’t going to be a problem?” he asked.

“I’m not sure of anything anymore,” Darren said, “but Shane and Lucy are up top with eyes on the crowd. Ballantine said there’s only a handful of mercs in there and the rest are just sailors hired to run their ship.”

“Won’t be a ship for long,” Lake said as he looked down at the instruments in front of him. “It’s going to be shrapnel in about five minutes.”

“Will we be clear of the blast?” Darren asked.

Lake laughed and shook his head. “If the engines don’t burn up, then we’ll be well clear of the blast. We just hit seventy knots and we haven’t leveled out yet.”

Darren moved close and studied the same readings.

“We’re going to burst into flames, aren’t we?” he asked.

“More than likely,” Lake nodded, “so go find me a beer and a sandwich so I don’t die thirsty and hungry.”

Darren laughed and patted his old friend on the shoulder. “Sure thing, Marty. I’m heading to the galley anyway.” He moved to the doorway. “Has Ballantine told you where we’re going?”

“Same coordinates as before,” Lake said, “but that’s as specific as he’s been.”

“Typical,” Darren nodded.

“Know what else is typical? You standing there instead of getting me my beer,” Lake grumbled.

“On it,” Darren grinned as he took off out of the bridge.
