he says. "Didn't you hear her? There's a guy over there who's coughing
blood. You never heard of tuberculosis? TB? It's the second leading cause
of death in the world. Has been for some time." You've never seen him
so worked up.
"And there are strains of TB that are resistant to antibiotics."
He pauses. "Look," he says again. "You can go if you must. We both know
I'm fine running the Celeste on my own. But if you go on board
that boat, you're not coming back to the Celeste, and that's final."

<> "You're right. Let's just get

<> "Sorry, Terry, but I'm going
to go check this out. Maybe I can help Jackie out. Thanks for a great
trip."
