“Sure. I’ll get the car.” He bounded away and disappeared around the side of the station.
“Listen, I’ve been thinking about Indiana and her situation, and I’m wondering if we can kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.”
I frowned. “What do you mean?”
“Wolf Security has a chopper and a pilot, but this latest situation highlighted how inadequate we are when both are out of action. A lot of our trouble has come from off our shores, too, and we don’t always have Border Force at our disposal. So I’m thinking Wolf Security needs to invest in a boat.”
I cocked my head. “And?”
“And Indiana would be more than capable of captaining that boat and providing ocean support when we need it. Her scuba diving skills would be invaluable.”
I nodded, seeing where she was going with that. “It sounds great, but I can’t answer for Indiana. She is her own woman and?—”
“I’m not asking you to answer for her. I just need you to stop her from doing anything crazy until I can get a few ducks in line.”
“Crazy how?”
She puffed out her cheeks. “Not exactly sure. She’ll need to lodge an insurance claim, and I’ll get involved to make sure she gets every cent. I would just like to hold her off buying a new boat until I can offer her one from Wolf Security.”
“Are you thinking of another salvage boat?”
“No. I have something else in mind.”
She didn’t elaborate, so I said, “Indiana is a wildcat. I’m not sure I can stop her from doing anything.”
Aria chuckled. “You’ve got that right. She’s a strong woman, but it doesn’t mean she doesn’t need someone looking out for her.”
I had a feeling that was coming straight from her own experience.
A car pulled around to the front of the station, and Cobra waved to us.
“Oh.” I clicked my fingers. “I nearly forgot. Have you heard of Kane Devlin?”
She rolled her eyes. “Unfortunately. What about him?”
“He rescued Indiana and me off Wombat Island.”
“Yes, I heard. And?”
“Well, he kind of made us promise that we would introduce him to you.”
She groaned. “He’s been trying to get in front of me for months. Any idea why?”
“He said he had information about the missing Nazi gold.”
She narrowed her eyes. “Ever since that documentary went out about the gold, you wouldn’t believe the number of people who have tried to pry information from me. Damn treasure hunters are like leeches.”
“He seemed genuine to me.”
“Except he bribed you into introducing me to him. And why? Because he answered that mayday call. Sounds dodgy to?—”
“No. Not because of that. He offered for Indiana to use his boat if she wanted to return to some dive site. It seemed important to her.”
She groaned. “Okay, only because it’s Indiana. If Kane takes her to this site and she’s happy, then I’ll give him twenty minutes of my time.”
“Thank you. That’s very helpful.”
“Anyway, I’ve got to go. I’ll be in touch. And keep my boat idea between us until I can work some things through.”
