They thudded down into the boat, arms and legs tangling in the mad rush to get aboard. Emma and Tyler released the lines while Logan reattached the spotlights. Nico started the engine. Opal fired up the navigation and they pushed off from the buoy with as much force as they could muster. The boat drifted clear of the breakwater, and Nico spun it in a tight circle, slamming the throttle.

BREACH.

The word thundered inside Opal’s skull. Her friends’ faces were grim and drawn.

“Come on come on come on,” Nico whispered, urging the speedboat through the surf. They raced at breakneck speed for a quarter mile, bouncing over the waves like bobbleheads, before he finally slowed to a saner pace.

“Everyone okay?” Opal asked, glancing around. Emma and Logan nodded in stunned silence.

“I think I’m going to be sick,” Tyler groaned, then he leaned over the side and suited action to words.

Behind them, there was a deep coughing sound, like the ocean backfiring. Opal clambered into the stern to see.

Glowing purple-red water was thundering skyward in a giant column, completely obscuring the rig. The colossal geyser shimmered in the starlight, showering luminescent droplets around the islet. Opal heard an enormous splash out at sea, and realized it was the platform’s roof. Then the water fell back and everything went silent.

Opal didn’t need anyone—or any Thing—to tell her what that meant.
