“Dad, are you okay?” Makenzie asked.
“Depends. I have a pirate story to tell you,” Senior said.
The three of them groaned until William began, and then they listened intently. He laid out what his ancestors did and promised, when he got to his father, William hesitated.
“My father was a selfish bastard. The three of you know I never had a good relationship with him. When I decided it was time to pass on the family secret and have you three take over the business, I had to tell you. So I gathered the papers and inside I found this,” William said and held up a packet.
“Hang on dad. You are telling me, our family has been protectors of an alien race for decades, and we are supposed to not call the mental hospital and check you in?” Macon said firmly.
William snorted. “I know you are having a hard time with this, which is why I brought you out here. You will see. First, let me say I have unfortunately left you with the task of making sure that we continue to protect them, my father was going to sell them out. All for the price of my mother. It disgusted me to find out that he was given a woman. The only thing I can say is he apparently loved her for a time, before she died giving birth to me. He didn’t know she was going to die and when she did, he refused to help them any further. We have to make sure the people my father made the deal with never find the coordinates we have. Each time we come out here, we are taking a chance. We have to be more diligent.”
“Dad, I have to agree with Macon,” Makenzie said. “What are you saying about grandfather. Who was our grandmother? Who was grandfather going to help?”
“She was a captive from the Meridian planet. We are descendants of the Meridian as well.” William dropped the bomb and they all stood stunned. “We can talk more after the drop, it is almost time.”
He led his children out to the deck of the boat, there were three large pallets waiting to be dropped. When they reached the place, he asked them to help him.
“Dad, do they know our grandfather betrayed them?” William yelled as they got the pallets ready.
“We will talk more in a while,” Senior said and nodded to them to drop the first pallet.
All of the children watched and waited. When they saw the first man appear out of nowhere and wave, they sucked in a deep breath, then when they saw him dive back under the water and a large tail flapped the water’s surface, Makenzie fainted.

Casius floated at the edge of the ship and heard what the young man yelled. Anger pulsed through him as he thought about Bernard’s family betraying them. He needed to get his men home with the packages and make sure they had not been followed.
