Nuclear Winter Whiteout

“Sorry about that!” Lacey shouted.
Tucker responded with a question. “Whadya want me to do with the body?”
Lacey didn’t have to think about her answer. “Throw it overboard.”
She glanced over her shoulder through the windows above the galley. Tucker and the father slowly hoisted the man onto the side of the boat and dropped him into the harbor. Seconds later, Tucker was by his mom’s side, wiping off his bloody hands on a dish towel.
“Are you okay?” she asked, glancing at him while navigating between the jetty and the Rutherford Pier.
“Yeah. You?”
Lacey nodded and then pointed through the front windows. “The sunset looks different than what I remember.”
“Weird.” Tucker seemed to be recovering from the hectic moments when six men had lost their lives during the gun battle. The two were remarkably calm.
Tucker took a deep breath and reached into his pocket. He dangled a set of keys for his mother to see.
“Are those …?”
“Yep. The keys to Black & Blue. It’s the extra set we have. I was supposed to give them to the captain. Um, I kinda got distracted and forgot.”
Lacey smiled and reached her arm around her son to pull him close to her.
“Are you up for an adventure?”
Tucker sighed and smiled. “Grandpa once told me that a rough day at sea is better than any day at work.”
Lacey laughed. One can only hope.
