Shark man had introduced himself as Jamie. His accent was American, but he didn’t look particularly American. Mark looked at him.

“Where are you from, Jamie?”

Jamie looked at Mark and then back to Kami.

“I’m from America; I was just in London to visit my family.

Mark’s face lit up.

“My name is Mark and I was born in Wales.”

Mark en Jamie shook hands. Oliver stuck out his hand to Jamie, who grabbed it immediately.

“My name is Oliver. And these are Kami, Kaylea and Alexandra.”

Oliver pointed at each girl when he mentioned their name. Jamie looked at the little baby in Kaylea’s arms.

“Is she yours?”

Kaylea looked at him and laughed.

“No she’s not. She is a survivor, like us.”

Kami, who had been rummaging through all the bags they had taken with them, suddenly exclaimed a triumphant cry. She held up a baby bottle, a pacifier and a handful of diapers.

“This bag must have belonged to the mother. It looks like the bag had been packed especially for the baby. There are still some clothes in it and a blanket.”

She handed the bottle to Kaylea, who fed it to the baby.

“The baby needs a name.”

Jamie made it a statement. The girls all looked at each other with a twinkle in their eyes and said the name at the same time.

“Kerry Sarah”.
