Maverick Mania (2008)
“About as long as it takes to sink a pontoon boat.
Did that mean what I thought it meant? Was Charlie Riggins going to drown Steve and Caleb?
Panic squeezed me. What could I do? What could I do? What could— I put my right thumb in my mouth and bit as hard as I could. The pain was like a slap across the face. I took a deep breath and I told myself I needed to imagine this was a soccer play. I’m the last man back with the ball. Just my goalie is behind me. Twenty guys are spread out on the field i...n front of me—nine on my team, eleven on the other. I see two guys coming at me to take the ball.
Look at the situation. Make the best choice possible in the time remaining. And act on your decision.
All right, I thought. I would give myself however long it took to come up with the best solution. Fortunately, I had more than the one or two seconds I normally have on the soccer field.
Looking at it that way relaxed me.
The situation was simple. Once Charlie Riggins reached the pontoon boat, he was going to find a way to sink it.MoreLess
