No One Knows (What You Do to Me)
“Mayfeld said you were a hard ass today,” Malk says, amused and Din shrugs.
“I’m always a hard ass.” He says, and the rest of them roar with laughter. Din doesn’t think it was that funny. He lets them talk over him for a while and suddenly gets that feeling again.
“Hey,” he says, “-do you guys feel… have you noticed something weird going on?”
“What, besides every normal fucking day?”
“No.” Din huffs, frustrated. “-I just feel like… something’s not right.”
They all look at eachother.
“You’ve been on shift for too long, Mando.” Malk says.
“Yeah.” Qin says, “-you’re losing it.”
It’s easy to get spooked on your first shift out on the rig. The closed quarters, the endless days, the isolation, the unfathomable vastness of the sea.
Except, Mando’s no rookie. Just trying to keep his head down and work; he gets the sense that something’s not quite right. Well, something else besides his mysterious roommate he knows nothing about.
He’s proved right when men start vanishing without a trace.
