I was getting ready for the last day of the school year when I heard the words \"storm,\" \"yacht,\" and \"rescue,\" come from the television.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eDuring the week, we always kept our small screen TV tuned to the news in the mornings. Most of the time I ignored it, but not when there was news like this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003e\"When we return,\" the anchor was saying, \"more details on Miss Montgomery's hair-raising rescue from our own Devil's Eye Cove.\" Then it cut to commercial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003e\"What is it, Targa?\" I heard Mom through the screen door as she replied from the driveway where she was loading her work truck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003e\"There's been a wreck!\" I managed to get out before toothpaste suds dribbled down my chin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin:6px 0 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer;color:#1f6f78;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;font-weight:700;font-size:15px;padding:6px 0;\"\u003eKeep reading chapter one ▾\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eI ran into the kitchen, spat in the sink, and grabbed a towel to clean my face. It took me no time at all to get from the living room to our kitchen because they were the same room, the only division was a small kitchen island.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eWe live in a renovated trailer. Since my dad passed away when I was eight – which was almost nine years ago now – our quality of life has backslid. Mom didn't work at that time so we could no longer afford to stay in the two story we had in the suburbs. We downsized to a doublewide located in the trailer park at the edge of Saltford, the small Canadian east coast town where we live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe trailer park is pretty, as trailer parks go. The residents care for their properties and small gardens as though they were Italian villas. 'Trailers don't have to be trashy,' is the unofficial community motto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eIf I'm really honest, Mom and I are the worst residents in the park if property beauty is the measuring stick. Our place is the very definition of a trashy trailer. We have no garden or even so much as a geranium in a flowerpot. We have gravel instead of a lawn and the concrete steps leading up to our front door have a menacing crack right down the middle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eDon't think that we're destitute though, my mom works her ass off to make sure that I have whatever I need. But the state of our home has never been a priority for her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eAs the commercials played in the background, I rinsed our stovetop espresso maker out in the sink. I lifted the lid on the overflowing compost bucket to dump the old grounds when the lid snapped off its hinges and the bucket shook. Slimy onion skin and rotting orange peel splatted onto the ground and on top of my bare foot. I sighed and held my breath as I picked up the stinking mess and took the bucket outside to dump it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eIt's my job to make note of anything that requires maintenance. Mom spends too much time working to worry about the trailer. According to her, as long as we are warm in the winter and have electricity and running water, we live like royalty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eMy mom—Mira MacAuley—is the opposite of materialistic. She's so far in the other direction that she can't relate to people who spend their time investing in art for their houses, thousand-count cotton sheets, or a nice vehicle. She doesn't judge people for their choices, she's just bored out of her mind to find herself in conversations revolving around these things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eConsequently, she has a tough time making and keeping friends. Not that she cares. Sometimes, I think I'm the only person in the whole world who matters to her at all. She cares about my friends, but only because I care about them. If someone is important to me then they're important to her, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eI brought back the empty bucket, rinsed it out and put it back under the sink before continuing to make the espresso. I put fresh coffee grounds in the reservoir and twisted the top and bottom together. I lit our sixty-year-old gas stove with a match and set the espresso maker over the blue flame, then I peeked out the front window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eMom was just about finished loading her gear into her work truck. The boxes of diving equipment that she lugged around were just part of the many props she needed to keep the illusion for her job intact. They were also the bane of her life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eEvery black box was stamped with the words BLUEJACKET UNDERWATER RECOVERY \u0026amp; SALVAGE. The same was written on the side of the truck that Simon, her boss, had given to her as part of her new contract. The vehicle was a perk that no other employee had and is a testament to her value. The ironic thing is that of all of the Bluejacket employees, my mom needs the truck the least.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eI smiled as she threw the last box in the back and the whole truck shook. It must have contained the diving weights. She slammed the hatch and looked up with her crystal blue eyes to see me watching her. She gave me a sheepish grin. I shook my head at her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe espresso was bubbling and as I went back to the stove to pour it, a wave of sadness washed over me. I know how much she hates the facade she has to present to the world, and I also know she does it because she loves me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eSprinting up the drive and taking the porch steps in a single bound, she came into the house. She closed the door behind her with too much force and I winced as the trailer shook. My mother is stronger than anyone I know and she shows our property the same disdain she shows her useless diving equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003e\"Really, Mom?\" I held out her java. \"Tens of thousands of dollars in company equipment that Simon has entrusted to your care and you treat it like it's a wrecking ball.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003e\"Was there a question in there?\" she asked before shooting her espresso like it was whiskey and handed back the empty cup. \"Did you say there's been a wreck?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eI jerked my chin towards the television as I took her cup back to the sink to rinse it. The news jingle announced that commercials were over and the report was about to continue. We both watched, me from the small kitchen island and Mom from our tiny entry way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003e\"A-list actress Rachel Montgomery and her entourage were sailing a sport yacht off the coast yesterday when they became caught in high winds and thirty-foot waves,\" the news anchor said. \"The yacht struck rocks and was wrecked on Devil's Eye, like so many boats before it.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe anchor was supposed to be impartial, but he was also a local and clearly of the opinion that Rachel Montgomery and her friends had been galactically stupid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eDevil's Eye Cove is a big bay encircled by jagged rock formations. It's less than five miles from Saltford beach, the main beach that all the tourists flock to in the summertime. The Cove is infamous for its powerful currents, big waves, and sudden storms. The shape of the cove on a map looks like an angry eye, earning its official name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eAs if Devil's Eye wasn't sinister enough, the combination of violent waves crashing on jagged rocks had also earned the cove the nickname The Boneyard. Of course, only the locals call it that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eNot a summer has gone by that I don't remember some unfortunate tourist getting into trouble there. They were drawn by the rugged beauty and the privacy it offered. Locals know better so they never go out to the Cove. But in spite of the warnings the city of Saltford has peppered their tourist information with, tourists still go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003e\"Idiots,\" Mom muttered under her breath. While she watched the report, she raked her long black hair from her face and up into a mess of a ponytail. She grabbed a full bottle of water from the multipack on the floor near the door and chugged the whole thing in one go. My mother drinks more water than a racehorse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003e\"No one was seriously injured,\" the anchor concluded. \"But the yacht was completely destroyed and everything on board was lost. Authorities continue to warn the public to stay away from Devil's Eye Cove...\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe reporter's voice was drowned out when Mom's cell phone rang. She snapped open her ancient flip phone with the same fluid grace she did everything. She wouldn't update her phone until the day it died. I was already impressed with how long it had lasted considering the abuse it endured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003e\"Mira here,\" she answered in her silvery voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eI listened to the one-sided conversation as I finished bagging my lunch. It wasn't hard to fill in the gaps -- I knew it was Simon. He is the entrepreneur who started Bluejacket and my mom is his star diver. Just like the rest of the team, he has no clue what the real secret to their success is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eI went back to my bedroom to finish getting dressed and run a brush through my hair. I kept my ears tuned in to what she was saying. There was little to no privacy in our tiny trailer and the sound of her voice traveled easily through my open door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003e\"Yeah, I just saw it on TV,\" she was saying. \"They've already called? That was fast. Must be valuable stuff. It's Devil's Eye... is Davis on it? You know he won't give it a pass,\" she scoffed. \"Yeah, ok. I'll be there in 10.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eI frowned as I pulled on my jeans. The Bluejacket office was down in the harbor, a 20-minute drive away. I had given up on trying to prevent my mother from speeding. She speeds every time she gets behind the wheel and she's been stopped dozens of times. Has she ever been slapped with a ticket? Nope. She turns on that siren voice and charms her way out of it every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eMy own phone chirped and I picked it out of the front pocket of my backpack. Saxony sent an audio text to our group of friends - Saxony Cagney, Georjayna Sutherland, and Akiko Susumu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eI pressed play and Saxony's voice rang out from my phone, sounding exactly like the vivacious redhead she is. \"Last daaaaaaaay! Last day, last day, last day! No more pencils, no more books...,\" her message stopped there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eAs I was about to record the rest of the rhyme, my phone chirped again. Georjayna had beat me to it: \"No more teachers dirty looks.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eMy phone dinged again and there was a text message from Akiko: \u003cem\u003eI think I'm having a panic attack.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eShe was kidding, of course. Akiko adores school and mourns the end of it every year as though a beloved pet had died. She's also the last person of the four of us to ever have a panic attack. I don't think Akiko's heart rate ever changes, even between sleeping and sprinting, she's the proverbial cool cucumber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eSaxony wrote back as quick as a flash: \u003cem\u003eReally? I'm having a hot dog and it's delicious.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eGeorjayna: \u003cem\u003eFor breakfast? Gross.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eOut in the kitchen, I heard my mom zip her bag closed. \"Gotta go, sunshine!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003e\"Yeah, I heard.\" I came out of my room dressed in jeans and my favorite t-shirt, a black off-the-shoulder with the number 89 emblazoned on the front. I left my long brunette hair down in loose waves. \"I guess you're going to go out to The Boneyard tonight after work?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThis was my mother's secret and the main reason she was so busy. During the day she played the professional salvage diver but at night was when she did all the real work, completely alone and in dark and sometimes dangerous waters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eHer eyes sparkled. \"Yeah, do you mind?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003e\"No, Mom. What are you after this time?\" I perched on the edge of our faded pistachio-colored sofa and pulled on my socks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003e\"Heirloom jewelry. Rachel's manager has already called us to ask about salvage possibilities.\" She kicked my running shoes over to me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eI yanked them on without undoing the laces. \"That was fast. But, did I overhear you say that Eric has declared Devil's Eye off-limits?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eEric Davis is Bluejacket's team analyst. His job is to analyze the dive site and decide whether it's safe to take on the salvage contract or not. The sites he declares unsafe are the ones my mother does on her own time. Of course, any payment offered then goes to her alone. Sometimes the Bluejacket team finds out that she dove on her own, sometimes they don't. If they do find out, the whole team is furious with her, Eric more than any of the others. He takes it as a personal insult even though it's got nothing to do with him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003e\"Since when has that ever stopped me?\" she cocked an eyebrow. She wasn't breaking any company rules by diving on her own time, but every dive school in the world would condemn her for diving alone. She'd earned herself a reputation for being foolhardy, but only because no one knew her secret.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003e\"Since never,\" I answered. \"But every time you dive on a wreck he's declared off-limits, you make things harder for yourself. He already has a serious problem with you.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eShe was back at the front door, her slender hand on the knob. \"I don't care how he feels about me as long as he stays out of my way. Besides, what he doesn't know won't hurt us.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eI sighed, then gave her a kiss on the cheek. \"Be careful, okay? I know this is your brand of fun but you know I worry about you when you go to The Boneyard. Especially at night,\" I shuddered.
