a hold of her wrist, the watch flew off in to the water.
It delved in to the water and then resurfaced. Abby reached over the side to retrieve the plastic watch but couldn’t get a grip on it. The boat floated away from the watch. The water was so dark. She looked out to see it float towards the shore. “I could jump in the water and get it,” Abby told the others.
“I wouldn’t. Never know when a hungry shark is out there.” Elvin stood beside her. He grabbed a hold of her arm, a serious look on his face.
Margie nodded. “Please Abby, listen to him. He’s a botonosits. He knows if there are sharks in the water.”
Abby was brave, but she wasn’t one to mess with mother nature, or sharks. She heard somewhere there were more sharks in the area than usual and wanted to see her love again. Somehow they would be seen because her parent’s knew they were here. “It’s a botanist, Margie. He learned botany in college.”
“Yes, I know. That’s what I said.”
Abby plopped back down on the bench to wait for her parents to send a rescue party. It would be a long night at sea with these two until they got here.
Chapter 6
Jon woke up to a full moon sprinkling its rays over the water, the ocean dancing with moonbeams. He shook himself and jumped from the hot tub, his skin wrinkled from the churning heat.
He gathered his clothes and made his way inside to find a towel. “Intruder!” Pete yelled as his beak pecked on the cage.
“Shut up!” Jon warned the bird, whose rants went on long after Jon reached the bedroom. He worried because Abby wasn’t home yet and shouldn’t be yelling at the bird. He dried off, threw on a pair of jeans and searched the pocket of the old pair for his cell. It buzzed as he put it in his hands.
Danny, Abby’s father was on the other line. “Danny? What’s going on?” Jon asked, cautious. Her father never called him unless it was important. Or about Abby. He stood in the center of their bedroom, water still dripping from his hair as he listened. “I’m on my way.” He switched gears and hurried, slapping on one shoe after another and headed out the door.
He called Jake. “There’s trouble.”
“Where?”
“At that old fishing camp off the highway, about five miles from here.”
“What’s going on bro?”
Jon didn’t realize his hand shook. He took a deep breath to calm himself. “Seems Abby and two others tried to stop a murderer tonight.”
“Where’s Abby?” Jake’s voice sounded as cautious as his own.
“They don’t know. I’m on my way to the camp. Danny said a young couple on the dock saw three people get on a boat at the far end of camp. But the boat isn’t there. They’re afraid they may be lost at sea.”
“If they’re in the boat, they should be okay. There’s no storms tonight, the ocean is calm,” Jake reassured him. But Jon knew better. Anything could happen in the water. As far as he knew Abby didn’t know how to drive a boat.
“I’ll meet you in a few minutes. You gonna be there?”
“You know it brother. I’m on my way.”
Fifteen minutes later, Jon and Jake stood at the end of the dock. Danny and a few men in dark clothes stood there talking. “Where is she?” Jon asked.
“Listen son, we have a patrol out in the water. The bird went to refuel and will be in the air in a few minutes. If they’re out there, we’ll find them.” Danny placed a hand on Jon’s shoulders and looked in to his eyes. He was a man who told the truth, Jon knew it but was still angry.
“How did Abby get mixed up with a murderer?” he asked, his voice low, steady. He had no right to talk to her father with such a tone but he couldn’t help himself.
Abby’s mother paced back and forth. “This is why I don’t want my child involved in this business,” she told him. “We can’t stand here and do nothing.” Abby’s mom walked down the
