In the Water and in the Dark

Barett and Rick sat in the absolute dark for a few seconds, they knew that Utah couldn't have blown the main transformer and power line coming into town, so either the Zombies were up to no good or something else was at play.
Barett Clicked the radio button to reach Utah.
"Copy." Utah replied dryly, a tiredness in his voice.
"Give me a situation run down."

Barettt covered his and Rick's situation, and the suggestion they disable the ship, to gain some time.
"Roger that, on your way out to the boat, look for Maria, she fell out during the flight over the open water, status unknown. We will provide what support we can from the shore. contact me once you have a chance on the boat."

"Roger, wilco. Give us ten, and we will talk again."

Barett pulled down the mike and leaned into Rick.
"Looks like Maria is taking a swim in the bay, fell out the helicopter. We have the go ahead to disable the ship. They will give tactical support from the shore. How good a swimmer is Maria?"
Rick Thought for a quick second.
"Pretty good, as long as she was awake when she hit, she should be fine."
He started pulling off his gear and clothes, stuffing them into his pack.
'Let's go for a quick dip"
