6:55 am
Atlantic ocean off the coast of North Carolina
The sun had just risen and their plan was just about to commence. Dante and Simon had been communicating all through the night making their plan and doing further surveillance. The alarm went out not too long after Dante escaped, but no one had come close to uncovering his hiding place. Under the cover of darkness, 2 sport fishers had moved within a mile of the large ship and had fishing lines in the water trolling for their catch. Dante could hear a small motorboat in the distance closing position on the large ship. A couple of crew members were at the rail on the port side watching the small boat approach. When it got closer, Dante saw Nikki at the helm and Eve was next to her, both wearing revealing swimwear. It had been unseasonably warm for the past several days and they had used that to their advantage. The men at the rail were ogling the ladies, making comments among themselves and carrying on. As the small boat came to the side of the ship, Dante heard Nikki yelling up asking them if they had any extra fuel, that they had gotten off course and were about out of gas. The men, sensing some adventure of a dark nature, agreed they could spare some fuel and said they would be down to helo tie up their boat. Nikki yelled back up,
“That would be fantastic.” When she said this, Dante saw one of the men’s head disintegrate into a cloud of pink mist, and then another, and then another. By the time he heard the sound of the first gunshot, 5 men were either on the deck, headless, or had fallen overboard into the water. That was his que. Dante rose from his perch on the deck and ran at a full sprint toward the dead men and vaulted over the railing without slowing down. He flew through the air and saw the ladies on the small boat right before he extended his arms over his head and sliced through the frigid water. It was all he could do not to inhale from the shock of the cold water, but he made his way to the surface quickly and came up a few feet from the boat. Nikki already had the boat heading his way and as it approached, Eve threw him a rescue ring and once he grabbed hold, she quickly pulled him to the rear of the boat. When he reached for the boat, Simon’s large hand grabbed his and in one smooth pull, had Dante standing in front of him on the back of the boat. Eve quickly grabbed him into a teary bear hug and pulled him into the cockpit and wrapped a towel around him.
Simon nodded to Nikki who threw the controls to the stops and the small boat quickly sped away from the larger ship. Simon looked back and saw 2 more bodies fall into the water off the side of the ship courtesy of Dead and Lee who were on the 2 sport fishers with their sniper rifles almost a mile away. Simon just smiled, appreciating the skill level of the 2 men. When the small boat was far enough away, Simon pulled the small remote from his pocket and hit the button. A huge hole opened in the side of the ship and a second later, they heard the explosion and felt the impact ripple over their boat. Nikki slowed and the 4 of them watched the ship list to the side and begin to sink. They heard the unmistakable sound of a helicopter motor starting and saw the blades turning on the deck. Simon looked over at Dante who just smiled back at him. It would be a short ride for The Razor.
