" That wouldn''''t solve anything, Darling. We''''ve gone too far. Now we have to go the rest of the way. I want you to make another dive on the Duke tomorrow. The difference is that this time I''''ll be there with you." Brandy slowly fingered the curl on Scott’s head while she talked.
" You don''''t know the first thing about scuba diving."
" No. But I can stay on deck while you and Duffy work the wreck using the buddy system." She smiled. " That is what they call it, isn''''t it ? There will be two of you to handle anything going on down there, and I''''ll be on board to guarantee you won''''t have the same problems as last time."
" And if we both see things? "
" I just told you. You won''''t. Take my word for it."
As Scott leaned over to kiss her a knife hissed past his head and struck the transom with a dull thud. He looked around to see where the noise came from, unaware that it had been a knife thrown at them. Brandy pointed at the still quivering blade, her face red with anger.
