Agnes and Nicole board a ship bound for Canada. Captain Mishimengo introduces himself and moves them into a little cabin with blackout curtains. He explains that if anyone asks, they are on a cod schooner that has delivered a load of cod and lemons by special license, and they are returning. Agnes and Nicole are to stay out of sight. They will bribe the coast guard if they’re inspected. He tells Nicole that Ada says hello and explains that everyone around here is related.
Nicole and Agnes go to the sleeping area. Nicole is disgusted by the dirty sleeping bags and smell of fish, but Agnes says they should be grateful and go to sleep. Nicole’s tattoo bothers her again, and she hopes that she doesn’t have blood poisoning. Agnes and Nicole wake up to the sensation of the boat rocking. Agnes goes up to investigate, but Nicole doesn’t feel well. Agnes returns, saying that big waves are rocking the boat. Nicole replies, “Oh God,” and when Agnes admonishes her, Nicole says that if there is a God, he has ruined her life. Agnes tells Nicole that no one has an easy time in life and maybe God has “effed up” her life for a reason.
