Storm asked.

Ben looked at Nathan.

"James wasn't meeting a person."

Nathan frowned.

Ben looked up.

Storm looked at him.

Nathan nodded once.

"I prayed no one would ever say those words again."

Ward folded the chart closed.

"So where is it?"

Nathan didn't answer immediately.

He walked to the bridge window.

His voice was barely above a whisper.

"It isn't on any modern chart."

Storm frowned.
