Adriana twisted the key in the ignition and the motor roared to life. She’d only tied off the back end. She stepped over and loosened the rope, dropping it on the deck. Then she stepped back to the wheel and wrapped her fingers around the knob to the side. Im still confused. Why should I know what this is, and why did you go looking for it? Hes all squawk, Fehn said. He’s not going to do a thing.” Allyson snorted a short laugh and stood up. She whirled around and stepped over to the vault, keeping an eye on Frank as she moved.Oh. In that case, I hope its already open. He is certainly a good navigating officer, conceded Yashimoto, conscientious and reliable, yet I dont really like him. It is not what he says but the way he looks at me, that critical light in his eyes, the mouth slightly twisted. Oh no, it’s not what he says, it’s what he thinks that worries me. These wartime officers, some of them university graduates likeSato, lack the naval outlook. They’ve not been brought up in thesamurai tradition, their minds are filled with philosophical abstractions, many of them Western in origin. He shrugged away the unpleasant train of thought; there were more important things to worry about than Sato’s shortcomings. The progress of repairs, the programme for the flooding tests, the disposal of the sick and wounded before departure. The moon would rise at about nine o’clock on the 24th, setting some twelve hours later. If the sky were not clouded it would help him take the submarine out of the creek. But for a line of sandbanks to the north-east of the entrance the water was deep fairly close inshore. Once clear of the headlands he would be able to dive if necessary, though he intended running on the surface until dawn in order to make good time to Mombasa. Tommys face flushed red. Look, can we just get back on task? We’re going to Germany to investigate why an innocent man was killed and a possible connection to the medallion I found in France. End of story.

Bulbous yellow blisters covered her red, cracked skin all along the underside of her forearm. Balcruf slowed at a turn that gave way to what looked like a dead end, but Tayel wasnt making that bet. The wall ahead was solid, but light in color. Probably more soft-packed snow to dig through. Dont worry. I already looked at what’s on it, Sean said. If, however, the fishermens reports were correct, if they had seen the submarine — and with every fibre of his being he hoped they had — then a number of possibilities had to be weighed. The reports concerned something seen on or about midnight on November 20, the night ofFort Nebraskassinking. It was now afternoon of the 22nd. If the submarine’s crew had repaired the shell damage it would already have left Maji Island. But if they had not, and it was still there, what wereRestlesss possible courses of action? That wasBarratt’s problem. He dismissed the notion of closing the island in daylight to investigate. The submarine Captain would have placed lookouts to warn of ships approaching.According to Katu the island had a deep water creek. To steam into it without knowing its configuration and the depths of water would be to risk strandingRestless. To go in without knowing exactly where the submarine lay meant running the risk of a close range torpedo attack. Should he takeRestlessto a position off the entrance to the creek, clear of a possible line of torpedo fire, while he asked Kilindini for aircraft to check if the submarine was in the creek?

But the more compelling reason was a psychological one: at the back of his mind he feared that the Catalinas might find and destroy the submarine. That was not what he wanted. His emotions had become too involved; it had become a matter of honour, a moral obligation, that he personally should exact retribution from the Japanese. So you told Mac about June, but not us?

Baldwin reached out to steady his brother and give him comfort. When the fit subsided, Baldwin waited for a moment before he spoke again. No need to hurry, Sean said. I found it.” She slowed her speed again and looked inside. Adriana was walking away from the concierge toward the elevators at the rear of the lobby. It was now or never..
