They drive south on the 101.
Boone sits in the passenger seat and looks out the window.
Beautiful, beautiful day.
Deep blue ocean.
Deep blue sky.
The big swell is almost over.
“So?” Boone asks.
They've been friends forever. They've ridden a thousand waves together. They're going to tell each other nothing but the truth. Dave tells him all about his work for Red Eddie.
“Did you know?” Boone asks. “About the kids?”
“Not until that night,” Dave says. “I called Johnny. I didn't know what else to do.”
Boone nods.
They both know what to do now.
