Doctor Aboard

Some distress signals you never forget.

This one was a bedsheet tied to a drowning hospital. The nurse who hung it has held that island alone for a year. Every boat through Ridgeline tells the same stories about Sarah: she'll order you around like she outranks a higher power, and she's right.

By the time her patients are safe, she's learned my one rule about nobody owing me for my help and found a loophole. If nothing's owed, she can ask for anything she wants.

She knows exactly what she wants.

Quinn — my rigger, my first — cleared out the forward cabin before Sarah's boots hit the deck. And three nights later, when Quinn wants her turn back, Sarah tells us both to get below.

The crew grows: one rescue at a time, one woman at a time — nothing owed, everything chosen.
