Leesa's Advent
I wonder why Kai needs the canteen, and how long he’s planning to be gone.
“I won’t be long,” Kai says, answering my unasked question. He pivots and disappears out the door.
While we wait for him to return, we continue observing Alcatraz, the bay and the marina from our perch, looking for any signs of danger. We don’t see anything worrisome, but that doesn’t mean danger isn’t there, lurking somewhere out of sight.
True to his word, Kai is back in less than twenty minutes. Draped over his left arm are several long strands of slimy, greenish brown kelp. Obviously, he went back down the hill to the beach. It would have taken any of us much longer to make that trip.
