The Dark Deeps
“The Icarians were often hard to tell apart, given their uniforms, but this one she’d nicknamed Big Chin. She was as mute as all the rest of them, and so dull and stolid that Colette was certain she was part ox. Colette ate two slices of seaweed bread, all the while thinking, My heart, my soul for a croissant. She longed for eggs from a chicken, not a turtle. And lamb, too! After twenty-one days of fish-based meals, she would have killed for lamb chops.
She had spent much of the night trying to ...figure out who Modo was. She believed him when he said he was an English agent. She had placed his accent as London upper class, but couldn’t get any more specific than that. She’d had her suspicions upon first meeting him, and they had been confirmed by his behavior at the dinner table. And it was especially obvious that he had only a rudimentary knowledge of photography.
She wondered if he was younger than he appeared to be. The rash confused her, though. Was he faking that? For what purpose?MoreLess
