Mara stuffs two bricks of cash into her dive bag. The men she loved died for this, and she figures she is owed. But the moment she turns, a Vares diver blocks the breach, hand out. "Half," he signals. "Or neither of us leaves."
Mara refuses and lunges for the breach. They tangle in the dark, hoses snagging, both clawing for the gap. Her shears find his air line by accident. She freezes, then drags him out through the gash with her and shares her own air all the way up. On the surface he coughs, stares at her, and says only, "Keep it. I'm done."
