Strange Tides
After Sam had lied his way through the inspection, the coast guard officer looked around the yacht.
“May I?” he asked.
"By all means, officer," Purdue smiled, as the man went below deck to check for contraband or any other suspicious items international tourists may harbor. All he found apart from the sophisticated technology he had seen on deck was light luggage and some food and beer. While he was inspecting the vessel, the expedition members made an effort not to act suspiciously as the other officers on the boat alongside their yacht were still watching them.
“Alright. Everything seems to be in order here,” the officer said eventually and returned their papers to Sam, whom he thought was in charge of the so-called scouting session. “Enjoy our lovely country and be careful of currents down there, okay?”
They all nodded and thanked him while Nina checked her watch. Due to the unexpected inspection by the coast guard they were behind schedule, which meant they had less time to gather information, identify the wreck and decide how to tow the ship out of territorial waters without being noticed.
“I hate to rush this little party of yours," Nina told Purdue softly, "but we have a salvage tug on the way, and as yet still don't know what for or how it will be put to use."
“I agree,” Purdue smiled. “Let’s get ready, people! We have only so many hours left.”
With the coast guard safely moving in the opposite direction, Purdue opened the throttle and, at last, they made their way to the coordinates of the wreck. Within a few minutes, they had reached the location, according to Purdue's tablet and the instruments on the board. Crystal and Sam pulled on their diving suits while Purdue was still calibrating his tablet for deep sea data gathering.
“Hurry, Purdue,” Sam sniffed as the damp sea air filled his nostrils. “I don’t want to be down there too long.”
Purdue stood up and cocked his head at Sam’s remark. “Why? You’ve had longer dives before.”
"Aye, I have," Sam said, keeping the volume of his voice low. He leaned in toward Purdue. "I just don't want to leave Nina up here with these strangers too long, you know."
Purdue looked past Sam at Nina, sitting on her own, deep in thought.
“I know. She has been a tad more vulnerable of late, hasn’t she?’
“That is not what I am referring to,” Sam replied.
“But you know Dr. Malgas. Are you telling me we cannot trust him and his people?” Purdue asked, looking a bit alarmed at the sudden change in demeanor he picked up from Sam.
“No, you can trust him. Absolutely. I just have a bad feeling about those security guys,” Sam admitted.
“Why? Is there anything I should know, Sam?” Purdue persisted. “I’m not going under the water if Nina will be in trouble up here.”
“No, no, it’s nothing like that. I just don’t like leaving one of our own alone with people we have not worked with before,” Sam shrugged.
“You are trying
