Gregory was relieved at Megan's comments; it seemed the conversation wasn't heading where he had thought after all. "Well, I think I remember hearing one of the crew say that they did change course in an effort to avoid the worst of the storm. I guess they weren't too successful, though. Of course, storms can change directions pretty suddenly. And I do remember them making the outside areas of the ship off limits for safety reasons." He paused for a moment, thinking about the situation. "And yet, the missing folks must have been swept overboard. Where else could they be? Perhaps there were some people still outside when they closed off the exits; if that was the case, then they most definitely messed up. Hmmm."
As Gregory was thinking about Megan's comments, a couple of things she had said suddenly clicked into place. She'd had dinner last night with a lady who'd been injured in Circean Delight, and she'd been talking to a female lawyer last night? "This lawyer friend of yours; her name wouldn't happen to be Emily Prather, would it?"
