Torn-Missing 4
“Jonah actually said out loud. “No!”
Nobody else in the shallop looked at him oddly. Maybe “What? No!” was an appropriate thing to say right at this moment. Actually, nobody was looking in his direction at all. They were all staring down toward the other end of the boat—toward the severed end of a rope.
He realized he and Katherine had arrived just as the shallop was cut adrift from the Discovery.
Another collection of possible choices eliminated, Jonah thought. I can’t scramble back up the rope..., back onto the deck of the ship, to fight against all the mutineers.
The wind caught the Discovery’s sails, and the ship sped away. Jonah couldn’t get back to the ship now unless he wanted to jump into the water, struggle through the ice floes—and probably freeze or drown in the process.
And this is already past the point when we last heard JB’s voice on our Elucidator, Jonah thought, still trying to figure out what he could possibly do.
He felt a hand against his chest.
