As Shane was deep in thought, someone knocked on the door of his room on the cruise ship.

Pursing his lips, he lifted his head. “Come in.”

Silas pushed open the door and walked in. “Mr. Shane, one of the search and rescue vessels radioed back and reported no human life on one of the uninhabited islands.”
