I was pitch dark when Ellie opened her eyes. The long-haul flight
from Europe had left her tired and cranky and this bed wasn’t
anything to write home about. She groaned—jetlag could be a bitch.
Reaching over, she checked the time on her phone.
Five a.m.
Was it too early for a yoga session?
Her whole body ached. She desperately needed to stretch out the kinks.
Her yoga mat stood in the corner by the door, beckoning to her.
Suzi, her roommate, was still fast asleep, her breathing deep and
rhythmic. Careful not to wake her, Ellie slid out of bed, pulled on some
leggings and a T-shirt, then grabbed her yoga mat. After scraping her hair
back into a ponytail, she snuck out of the room.
The corridors on the oil rig were dark and eerie, bathed in that familiar
ghostly green light that cast long shadows on the steel walls. The first time
she’d been on an offshore platform, she’d been unnerved by the ethereal
glow, but after five years of working in the field, she was used to it.
She made her way up the narrow steel stairway to the top deck,
expecting to see some signs of life, but the place was deserted. Then again,
it was stupid o’clock and the first shift only begun at eight.
The tropical air caressed her skin, warm and serene—so different from
the frigid conditions in the North Sea where she’d worked before. She
closed her eyes and let the balmy breeze wash over her, savoring the
moment.
With her mat tucked under her arm, she ventured along the gangway,
navigating around the now-silent steel structure, with its cranes, multi-level
platforms, and columns of drilling equipment, in search of a tranquil corner
in which to exercise.
At the railing, she paused and gazed out over the Gulf of Mexico. The
dark expanse stretched for miles in all directions. It never failed to move
her, the idea that she was a tiny dot in the middle of an enormous ocean.
Maybe it was because nobody could get to her out here. She was safe.
Protected by thousands of miles of water.
At least she’d thought she was. That was until Suzi had mentioned the
recent threat from eco-terrorists. This was a very sensitive area of the Gulf,
ecologically fragile, and there were strict protocols in place. She’d read the
impact assessments before she’d come out here.
If she’d known about the risk, she might have thought twice before
accepting the job.
After what had happened last time…
No, she wasn’t going to go there. Ellie took a steadying breath. This
project was different. Eco-terrorists chained themselves to structures, got in
the way, temporarily disrupted operations. They didn’t threaten anyone’s
personal safety.
