Chapter 17

The freezing water shocked my body as I went under. I surfaced, gasping for breath.

More shouting erupted from somewhere close.

I swam for boat number 42 along with Tanya, Jax and Sam.

There was so much splashing, I wasn’t sure if we were still being fired at.

Tanya got to the Lucky Escape first. She lifted herself out of the water and climbed the stern ladder with ease. As she vaulted onto the aft deck, she leaned over and shouted at me. “Come on, Alex!” She began fumbling with the keys, searching for the ones labelled 42.

I couldn’t swim any faster. The weight of my clothes dragged me down and swimming while holding a baseball bat was difficult.

“Untie the boat!” I shouted. A mouthful of salty water rushed into my mouth, making me gag. I spat it out and continued swimming.

Tanya darted to the front of the Lucky Escape and untied the ropes.

I looked toward the jetty. The two soldiers had almost reached the boat. They would be on the Lucky Escape in seconds.

Tanya climbed up the ladder to the bridge as Sam reached the stern. He pulled himself up onto the aft deck and untied the tire iron from his backpack.

The Lucky Escape’s engine coughed then died.

I heard Tanya curse from the bridge.

The engine spluttered again.

This time it started.

The water behind the boat churned up as Jax reached the ladder and got on board. I was almost there.

The two soldiers reached the bow and stepped onto the boat, their rifles waving at Sam and Jax. The two military men were young, probably in their early twenties. One had dark close-shaven hair, the other brown. Both looked nervous.

“Hey!” the dark-haired soldier shouted. “Stop!”

They moved forward.

Sam and Jax raised their hands. Sam still held his tire iron in his right hand.

While the dark-haired young man trained his weapon on Sam and Jax, the fair-haired soldier took a radio from his jacket and held it to his mouth. “This is Williams. We’ve got two people on a boat here. On the South jetty. Over.”

The reply came immediately. “Detain them. Do not let them get away. We’ll be there in a minute. Over.”

“Copy that,” Williams said. “Over and out.”

I reached the lowermost rung of the metal ladder that led up to the aft deck. Williams had said two people. The soldiers across the marina knew there were four of us but Williams and his companion hadn’t seen us. They didn’t know about me or Tanya.

I gripped my bat in one hand and curled my fingers around the metal ladder. Tanya, Sam and Jax had made it look easy to get on board the Lucky Escape in a matter of seconds but I knew it would take me a lot longer to pull myself out of the water and climb those few rungs then get over the chrome safety rail at the top. By the time I got up, I’d be shot easily.

Tanya dropped down out of the bridge and I heard scuffling. One of the soldiers shouted then dropped over the side into the water.
