Chapter 7

Jean

Jean kept telling herself that she was okay alone. She was independent even though she was in love with Eddie. At least that was what she told herself more than once in the first few hours after the others had left. She also understood why they couldn't check in with her by radio again. The Russians could be listening and might figure out that there was someone still hiding on the island.

Jean had the night vision cameras turned on, and so far so good. They hadn't come close to the entrance of the shelter. She looked at the camera view that showed the dock and noticed there were more armed men at that location than anywhere else. They also seemed to be more relaxed. They were sitting around smoking cigarettes and talking. There was even occasional laughing which told Jean they were less convinced they were in danger. She could see that they were boldly using lights out on the dock and in the houseboat.

She switched to the houseboat camera view and was surprised to see three men gathered around the small table that served as an eating area and a recreation spot. They had a map spread across the table and were pointing first at the map and then at the outside of the houseboat. She guessed by the gestures that they were pointing in the general direction of the moat that surrounded most of Mud Island. The rest of the island was bordered by the Atlantic Ocean. There appeared to be some disagreement, and she didn't speak Russian, so she could only make more guesses about what had them so worked up.

They finally called for one of the men to come in from outside, and they pointed at the map and asked him several questions. He gave them the universal answer to what appeared to be the central question, a shrug of the shoulders, and they looked even more frustrated. He apparently said the same thing they were saying. "I don't know."

One of the men put his finger on the map at the northern entrance of the moat and traced it all of the way around the moat to the southern exit. Then he pointed at the jetties themselves and put his finger on the spot they had fixed. Jean was pretty sure they were debating the very existence of the moat, and they were coming to the conclusion that it was made by someone rather than carved out by nature. The men got up from the table and apparently had reached some form of consensus. One of then stuck his head out the door and barked and order at a man with a radio. He immediately snatched up the microphone and started speaking rapidly.

In the distance behind the man on the radio Jean saw white light. She knew it was not the moon, and she couldn't imagine what could generate that much light. Then she saw the corvette in the monitor that faced the open sea, and it was beginning to move.
