dock until she came to a motor boat that looked fast. She jumped in and fiddled around until the engine started. “Get in if you’re going along,” she called out.
     
    Danny laughed out loud and ran to get in the boat. “Hurry up son, she’ll leave without you.”
     
    Jon didn’t hesitate but followed Danny to the boat, Jake right behind. Abby’s mom backed the boat out of the dock area and cranked the engine full boar. They sped away in to the night and no one stopped them.
     
    Jake looked at him, a grin on his face, his brow raised.
     
    Jon grinned back. “It helps to have spies in the family.”
     
    “I can see why. Even with all my connections, I couldn’t have gotten a boat or chopper here as quick.”
     
    “You two best keep your eyes on the water and search for my daughter.” Her quiet orders rang through the air. Jon turned to her.
     
    “I want to know why Abby is lost at sea?” He stared at the two agents because he couldn’t believe they would get her involved in their work after trying to protect her from it for so many years.
     
    Abby’s mom kept her hands on the controls and stared out in to the water. “Jon, I know your upset. We’ll discuss the who’s and what’s later. Right now all I care about is Abigail and her whereabouts. I’m not interested in anything else. If we sidetrack from the agenda, we may not find her. Are you prepared for that?”
     
    Jon stuck his hands in his pockets and rolled back on his heels. “Hell no, I’m not!” She was right, they had to keep their mind on the work at hand. He searched the water but there were no boats anywhere close by. The dark sea looked like one empty space and Abby was nowhere to be found.
     
    If Jon lost her now he would never forgive himself. A shiny object caught his attention in the water. It floated for a second and then bobbed as the waves from the boat stirred the water. “What’s over there?” He pointed to the floating object.
     
    Danny grabbed a net and placed it in the water, far enough out to retrieve it. “Looks like we found our watch,” he said, picking the item from the net and showing his wife. He looked at Jon. “This is a watch Margie had on to inform me what was happening. We lost track of them a few hours ago. Now I know why.” His voice sounded grim. He now looked worried.
     
    Abby’s mom didn’t hesitate to take action. She grabbed something from the console and lifted it in the air. A loud pop cracked through the night and a dash of light burst in the air far above their heads as the flare gun smoked in her fingers. She stared at the ball of light spread wild in the sky. “Come on Abby, look up.”

    “I think we’ve drifted too far out for them to find us in the dark,” Abby moaned. “I am so itchy I can’t stand it any longer.” She swiped at her face, the patches of dark were now bright red and itched so bad. Her face burned, but she didn’t dare put sea water on or the salt would burn even more. “I’ll explode if they don’t find us soon,” she cried. Her voice wobbled, and Abby didn’t know how much energy she had left. She had to keep awake and flow positive energy to the others. They were so scared and about to give up.
     
    “I think we’re lost forever,” Margie told her from a distance. She stayed at the far end of the boat because she claimed she didn’t want to get any poison. Elvin hugged himself, his head down, his teeth scraping against each other. Abby wanted to scream for him to stop.
     
    “We aren’t lost forever Margie.” Abby had a hard time getting the words out. Was her body going in to shock? She felt cold, yet it was such a warm day. Her hand went to her head as she clawed at her skin. It itched so bad. Then a fire lit up the sky in the far distance and everyone’s head looked up to see the ball of white spreading out over the dark night.
     
    “Someone’s out here!” Abby screamed. She stood up and pointed to the sky. “Look! I
