Hardy, still smiling, took Jerry’s hand. “She’s an extraordinary woman, Mr. Mitchell.”
“Indeed, sir, she’s a fine catch.”
Hardy laughed, an unusual sound, and said, “I’m not sure how much ‘catching’ was involved.” Then his expression changed, as if a mist was clearing from his eyes. “And I think we’ve spent enough time talking about Dr. Patterson.”
“Yes sir,” Jerry answered quickly.
“I’ve already spoken to Captain Young. As squadron commander, he has to observe your final qualifications for dolphins, and he’s agreed to meet us on the thirteenth, three days before we arrive back in New London.”
Jerry was impressed. That would mean a helicopter ride and an at-sea transfer.
“Now, we don’t want him to fly out to Memphis and have you not be ready, do we?” Hardy’s voice was stern and his expression matched. “You’ve made progress over the past ten days, but there’s still a tremendous amount to do. We’re here for about a week while we make repairs and then nine days underway before Captain Young arrives. Will you be ready?”
“The whole crew’s been helping me, sir. I’m sure I can make it.”
Hardy nodded. “Yes, Mr. Mitchell, I’m sure you can.”
