Mara cuts the chain and pries the crate open. Inside, sealed in plastic, are bricks of cash and a logbook stamped with her late husband's company. The Meridian Cross wasn't just hauling freight. She was carrying something illegal, and the three men knew.
Mara photographs every page of the logbook with her wrist camera, then leaves the cash where it sits. The money is bait. The proof is what buries whoever sent her husband down here. She surfaces, hands the images to the coast authority, and watches the Vares crew get hauled off in cuffs. The wreck keeps the rest of its secrets, but Mara finally knows the truth.
