He managed to get Jinger and Jordy in the cart and down to the boat.He charged Jordy with taking care of Jinger and making sure she didn’t jump overboard.Jordy didn’t look happy about his assignment, but he gave an abrupt nod.
Griffin addressed the man he’d put in charge while he was gone.“Packer, did Ms.Adair board yet?”
“Is she the hot blonde chick with a killer bod?”
Griffin gritted his teeth.“Yes.”
“No.I haven’t seen her.”
“Okay.I need you to make sure everyone finds a place to bunk.We’ll have to double up.”
“Got it.”
Griffin waited until he left and jumped back into the golf cart.He had no idea where Indigo would’ve gone.The southern part of the island had flatter, more navigable terrain with white, sandy beaches, whereas the northern half was more rugged, with jagged cliffs.
On a hunch, he headed north.

Indigo stood on theedge of the island and tried not to get vertigo as she looked down at the churning waters below her.While she wasn’t excited to wait out a hurricane, she’d hunker down until it passed and then call for an extraction—once she found the nuke.
There didn’t seem to be a good way to get down to the cave.No marked trail directed,This Way to the Smuggler’s Den.She certainly didn’t want to get stuck and then sucked out to sea when the storm hit.She was a risk-taker, but she wasn’t reckless.Or stupid.The boathouse by the pier likely had watercraft that could reach the cave.
“Indigo!”
She turned to see Griffin racing toward her.Fudge nuggets, he should’ve been on the boat with the others.She was so mad at getting caught, she briefly considered pushing him over the side.Not really, but he was ruining her plans.
He came to a stop in front of her.“What do you think you’re doing?”
“Sitting at a bar with a glass of wine.What does it look like?I’m exploring the island.”
“With a hurricane barreling down on us?Didn’t you hear the warnings to get to the boat?”
“No,” she lied.“So, it’s headed our way?”
“It is.”
