“Rule number four: never leave this island on your own.”

“Why not?”

“Because you won’t get far, trust me.”

“Mmm-kay.” Was that a threat or a warning? I don’t think either made me feel any better, but the latter had a challenge ring to it. I had no sea lore and wasn’t the most comfortable person on water and yet ‘we’ll see about that,’ was all I kept thinking.

“Rule number five—”

“How many more are there?” I interrupted him. He gave me one of his patent squint-glare.

“It’s the last one,” he answered, “and it’s the most important one. Rule number five: when I go to bed, you go to bed. No questions asked. You shut all doors and windows, blow all lights out and there’s no getting up until dawn.”
