Nathan has an idea who it is. Do you? Leave a review with your guess and I'll post the next chapter tomorrow. I don't claim the characters within and I'm only playing.
****Hello,
No, I don’t mind you calling me Nathan. I realize that you’re under my command but since you haven’t slipped yet and done so on the bridge, I doubt you will. I have been trying to figure out who you are and have it narrowed down to three people based on the hits you gave me in your last note.
Let’s see, you said you wanted to know more about me. I’m primarily a scientist now, military because and when I have to be, but long for my days of research on my island with only Darwin for company. No I will not take anyone there again. My wife died because I took her to that place an, in that way, it was my own personal hell.
When you say this is the first time you’ve done this, do you mean first time writing the notes for the first time in love? Because those are two very different things. I admire your courage to step forward as you have.***
Nathan reread the note several times before sealing it in a plastic bag. He took it to the moon pool before he could talk himself out of it.
“Bridger play?” Darwin asked, smiling as only a dolphin can.
“Dar, can you deliver this note for me?” Nathan asked.
“Yes.”
“Can you tell me who you’re taking it to?”
“Secret. No tell Bridger. No tell Lucas,” Darwin said.
Nathan grinned. “Well, is it a friend?” he asked, rubbing Darwin’s nose. “Or someone who wants to hurt me?”
“No hurt, love Bridger.”
He knew the dolphin was telling him, in his own way, that it was a friend sending the notes. Nathan had figured as much but he was so used to being on guard with everyone that he’d wanted to be sure.
“Nathan, what are you doing here at this hour?” Kristin asked in surprise.
“I couldn’t sleep and decided a walk might help,” Nathan replied. He let the plastic bag drop and watched Darwin swim away with it. “How about a midnight snack and I can ask your opinion about these attacks.”
“Sounds to me like you just want company,” she said, looking at him.
“That too,” Nathan laughed.

***Nathan,
You’re so handsome when you laugh. Don’t be mad but I was in the moon pool area and heard you talking with Darwin. I won’t hurt you if I can help it in any way.
This is my first time for both the notes and these feelings. I was raised to believe these feelings are wrong but refuse to deny myself a chance at happiness. I can only hope I can make you happy as well.
I can’t tell you much more about myself if you’ve been so quick at figuring out who it isn’t. Not unless you want me to step forward and tell you exactly who I am. I am not looking for anything short, cheep, or meaningless. Please do not think I am. I know those are easy words to say, but I mean them with all my heart.****
*Well, that didn’t help much* Nathan thought. He had his doubts about two of his choices but didn’t want to jump to any quick conclusions. There were three men who fit the description given and this last note didn’t rule them out. Darwin did, however. Nathan knew there weren’t too many people on this boat the dolphin would help after himself and Lucas of course. Maybe it was time to see if his idea had merit.
