"Not much longer until we reach the shoreline," I call back to the group. The sun is still rising as we swim toward an arranged landmark on the island ahead of us.
We are swimming a longer distance than was necessary, but we need to be a certain distance away from Astor's barrier.
Ollie had used Richie's location to try and predict this point, and I was just hoping his keen intellect was going to pay off.
I dive under the water, moving more efficiently, my arms sliding through the water as my strong legs propelled me forwards.

I feel my fingers scrape the bottom
