Chapter 1256

Carlos grabbed the lobster and decided to cook it.

“Dunno. Worth a shot.” He had a hunch that it would work.

“ALL right.” No matter what, they had to try. They couldn’t give up on hope.

Meanwhile, at the resort, some helicopters landed there, along with a rescue team.

Wesley took control of the team, directing them each with the easy demeanor of a man used to being in

command.

“You, take south. You, go southeast. You, southwest. You, retrieve the boat. They were on a cruiser.”

When everything had been straightened out, Ivan and Niles said to him,

“We want to go too.”

Wesley looked at them and said, “Leave it to them. This is the best rescue team in Alorith. They’ll find

them. Oh, Niles, you should come along. You’re a doctor. Ivan, please wait here.”

Kasie nervously tugged at Wesley’s sleeve before he left for the rescue.

“Wesley, please. Make sure they come back safe and sound.

Please!” she begged, her voice shaking.

Wesley broke free from her grip and assured her, “Don’t worry. I will.”

And that was when Kasie realized she was being a bit foolish. She withdrew her hands, and looked

down.

After the search and rescue team left, Blair sat on a bench, chin propped up in her hands as she

watched the ship sail away. She prayed in her mind, ‘Dear God, please bring all of them home safe…”

Half an hour later, the rescue ship that Wesley was in began to slow a little when they were some miles

from the coastline.

Wesley carefully observed the area through a set of binoculars, hoping to find an island or anything

from Carlos and Debbie’s yacht. He knew he could only see about 3 miles out due to the curvature of

the earth, but the digital magnification and enhancement were what he was after.

No sign of a yacht or his friends, but he did spot a killer whale leaping out and diving into the sea some

distance away. It was common to see killer whales around here, so he paid it no mind. He continued to

focus on searching for what he wanted.

Time passed quickly. Still, nothing-nothing but the endless sea that stretched to the horizon. Wesley

listened to the reports from the rescue team in the helicopters.

“One klick south by southeast, nothing.

Over.”

“Two klicks northeast, no sign. Over

Still no good news. Wesley was beginning to think this might be a fool’s errand.

Wesley continued to look into the distance through the binoculars. The killer whale came into view

again, but this time, it was much closer to the boat. ‘I hope that big guy’s careful. He doesn’t need to

get caught by our propeller.*

When he was about to shift his gaze away from the whale, something on its mouth caught his eye. ‘Is it

hurt, or is that just some fish?’ He zoomed in for a closer look, but it dove again before he could figure

out what that was. When the thing surfaced again, he got another chance.
