Mysterious Fishing Trip

(InnerSelf Enabled🎭) Four AM on the dock. The regular deckhand didn't show. The captain — Rain Halloran, ex-Coast Guard, paying cash, eyes like a coming storm — offers you five days at sea and asks no questions. Neither should you. But the Margaret Ann has more radar than a sportfisher needs. The 'retired ambassador' in the guest cabin drinks whisky that costs more than your truck. His 'daughter' won't let go of a leather case. The cook won't stop praying. And the seamount Rain charted — the one the Basque whalers named the Rosary — hasn't given up a hooked fish in a hundred years. Five days. Cash up front. No questions. Just fish. Just fish until it isn't.
