WC: 1,940
"One-niner-four-six. This is tower operator on the mainland. Vector 705. Maintain altitude through 1k..."
Bella motions for them all to get closer and they all lean in a bit.
JJ explains, "Wahoo don't run in September. Ever, alright? So whoever this man is, he's not a fisherman."
Pope offered, "Maybe the runs just start earlier out here."
"Are you sure about that? In the Caribbean?"
"If he had said grunts I would have believed him, but not wahoo," Bella shook her head.
Sarah sighed, "No I know what this is. He's working for my dad, and he's probably been looking for us the entire time."
"Alright well, we gotta find out," JJ said. "Start looking for some sort of... clues." JJ sees Jimmy's bag. He motions to John B to tap Jimmy's shoulder and distract him.
"Hey Jimmy," John B clears his throat.
"Yeah, what's up?"
"How long you had this bird?"
"Oh about ten years now."
JJ slyly reached into Jimmy's bag.
"How long you been flying?"
"Oh I've been flying all my life."
"Uh, who's that lovely lady right there?"
Jimmy laughs, "Oh, that right there? That's Cynthia. Yeah."
JJ, Bella, and Pope are going through his things as fast as they can.
"Cynthia?"
"Yeah."
JJ sees a book called 'The Loss of El Dorado'. Bella sees it and grabs her pendant.
"And what about that beautiful girl right there?"
"Huh? Oh that? That's Stacy."
JJ opens the book and sees a picture, of the Coastal Venture.
John B chuckles, "Oh! Oh, your sister?"
"Ah no, she's just this girl I met in Saint Lucia. You ever been there?"
Sarah takes the picture. "The Coastal Venture. Oh my god."
"Huge marlin. You gotta go."
John B leans over and looks at the picture.
"This is the boat we were on. With Eberhimi and the cross," Sarah says.
