Once again I was reminded that I had placed my entire team’s fate in the hands of a relative stranger.

Could I have trusted the wrong person?

Could she actually be leading me to the slaughter?

…or what about Johnny?

No – impossible. I ruled it out completely. He was like a brother to me. There was no way he would betray me.

Still, a little voice whispered in my ear, But what if the price was right?

Paranoia spurred me to action. I peeked out from the alcove –

BLAM.

A gunshot echoed, and the wooden deck at my feet splintered.

I ducked back into the alcove.

It had been a warning – whoever had fired it hadn’t meant to kill me. Either that, or they were a really bad shot. Which I doubted.

I turned back to the door in the alcove. I tried the handle, and the door swung open.

Beyond it, a passageway led into the interior of the yacht.

I decided to take my chances.
