+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
THE RAIN HAMMERED AGAINST THE SHACK'S TIN ROOF AS MARCUS ADJUSTED THE
DIAL. 2 AM, 20 METERS BAND. ROUTINE.
"CQ CQ, THIS IS K7MRC."
STATIC. THENA VOICE, FAINT BUT CLEAR, CUTTING THROUGH THE WHITE NOISE.
"MAYDAY. MAYDAY. COORDINATES 45.5231 N, 122.6765 W. SINKING. PLEASE
RESPOND."
MARCUS FROZE. THOSE WERE HIS COORDINATES. HIS EXACT COORDINATES.
HE KEYED THE MIC. "STATION CALLING MAYDAY, IDENTIFY YOURSELF."
SILENCE. THEN THE VOICE RETURNED, DISTORTED, WET: "THIS IS K7MRC. I'VE
BEEN TRANSMITTING FOR THREE DAYS. WHY WON'T ANYONE ANSWER?"
MARCUS STARED AT THE CALL SIGN GLOWING ON HIS OWN LICENSE PLATE ABOVE
THE RIG. OUTSIDE, SOMETHING HEAVY DRAGGED ITSELF ACROSS THE ROOF.
THE SIGNAL STRENGTH METER PEAKED.
"MARCUS," THE RADIO CRACKLED. "OPEN THE DOOR. I'M COLD."
HE HADN'T KEYED THE MICROPHONE.
