Ward spoke calmly.

"We're not looking for what you remember."

Nathan frowned.

"We're looking for..."

Ben picked up Grandpa's logbook.

"When James called you..."

"...don't think about the conversation."

"Think about everything around it."

Nathan looked puzzled.

"What do you mean?"

"What time was it?"

"Were you inside?"

"Outside?"

"What could you hear?"

"What were you doing before the phone rang?"

Nathan stared at him.

"Why does that matter?"

Scott smiled.

"Because sometimes..."

"...your surroundings remember more than you do."

Nathan leaned back.

Closed his eyes.

No one interrupted.

Even the engines seemed quieter.

He spoke.

"It was early."

"Before sunrise."

Storm smiled faintly.
