The sound of buzzing motors spread across the water as several speedboats poised for action. Martin, with a quiver on his back and recurve bow in hand, boarded the speedboat driven by Bruce.
Behind him, Kate Upton, dressed in cool clothes, reached out her hand, "Sect Hierarch."
Martin pulled her aboard, "Be careful."
Kate Upton climbed steadily onto the boat and spoke, "I grew up in Miami, Florida, and have been dealing with water and boats since I was young. Besides horseback riding, water sports are my forte."
Martin nodded and said, "After I pull up the fish I shoot, you'll be responsible for tossing them into the cabin."
Kate Upton replied, "No problem."
The speedboat next to them slowly left the pier, with David Finch on board holding a shotgun, and said to Martin, "The weapon you're using is too primitive, you're going to lose the competition."
