Joe Trebble and the Bio Tech Conspiracy
Chapter 10: The Sea
Back to Chapter 1: A Hot Pink Car
Joe Watched the tide come in. It always amazed him how dramatic the tide was down the Bristol Channel, even this far down stream.
“Not as spectacular as the tidal changes where you're form. Or so I hear.”
Joe smiled at the familiar voice coming from behind him. “You bloody well know I live no where near that part of Canada.” Joe leapt up and gave his partner a hug.
“As far as I know Stratford on Avon, Canada, is as close to your Bay of Fundy as Stratford-upon-Avon, England is to here. You keep promising to take me over for a visit.”
“It is just Stratford in Canada, and I will one day my love.” Joe sat on the rocks and looked towards the sea, out back towards home.
“Your mission is bothering you,” Devin said giving Joe a squeeze on the shoulders.
“It is . . .” Joe paused and looked into Devin's eyes. “. . . It is more the emotions stirring in me; Having to leave you for this unknown length of time.”
“Hey, I know you are the only one qualified for this. Even though our training isn’t complete.” Devin sat on the rocks next to Joe. “Johnson said he’d keep me apprised of your status as best he can, and will try and pass on personal messages from me when possible. I will miss you constantly, but if Johnson says you’re the best chance to stop these biotech company attacks, then we just have to trust him.” Devin rested his head on Joe’s shoulder while pulling him close. “Let’s just make the most of the time we have together.”
Joe kissed Devin, his emotions beating upon him like the ocean waves upon the nearby shore.
