The Neptune Project
“The moon emerges from its thick cover of clouds and floods the beach with silver light.
Tobin tenses beside me. “Nere, there’s a man down at the south end of the beach. I think he’s watching us.”
I look to the south, my heart pounding. There is a single dark figure standing absolutely still, facing our direction.
“I don’t know what he’s doing out here, but he looks way too interested in us,” Tobin says. “We’d better get out of here, fast.”
Tobin sprints for the water, and Penn and I follow on his heels. Maybe Dai was right after all. Maybe we were stupid to do this. We’d all be so much safer if no one knew we were here on Santa Cruz.
I dive into a wave and let the cool seawater flow down into my dry lungs. Thom joins us shortly. Surrounded by the dolphins, we head for the yacht. As I swim, I worry about the man I saw on the beach. I wonder who he is and if he’ll report to the Marine Guard that he saw a group of young people who disappeared into the sea.
Thom, Penn, Tobin, and I spend ...the night in the wreck.MoreLess
