The longer Nicole was on top of the pots the more she took notice in the weather. The more notice she took n the weather, the more worried she got about her safety. "Be careful Weather Girl!" Mark yelled. Nicole's nickname was weather girl because she always knew what the weather was, but being on top of the pots made her more aware of how dangerous what she was doing actually was. She pushed her nerves out of her because if she didn't she was would be to scared to pay attention to what actually what was going on.

"Nicole be careful. The wind is picking up and the waves are getting higher." Mario yelled over the hailer. Nicole looked over at him and nodded.

"Nicole can you secure the pots. Just use the rope for support." Nicole nodded and got down and climbed over the rail so she could secure the pots. Luke walked over to where Nicole was to watch her.

"Don't fall." Luke said as he grinned an evil grin. Nicole glared at him.

"Oh don't worry Luke. I won't" Nicole took the chain and secured the pots.

Meanwhile on the Northwestern Sig and Edgar were talking about the bet Sig had made with Mario. "What do you think Mario bet?"

"Probably money." Sig answer casually. "Why?"

"I don't know just asking. Me and the guys were talking about it." Edgar smirked. "Imagined if he bet Nicole. How funny would it be to have a girl on the Northwestern?" Sig looked at Edgar.

"Mario would never bet his own daughter. He knows I would never let a girl on the boat. Besides I don't think Mario would bet something so precious. She is the next in line to take over the Bella Amore. " Edgar shrugged.

"I'm just saying Sig. Think about it for a second. If you won you would have Nicole on the boat for all of Opies and from what I hear she is really good." Something then clicked in Edgar's head that made him smile. "We would have a boat mom to do our laundry and cook for us! We could use her on deck too. From what Mario says she is pretty brave. She climbs on the pots and everything." Sig grunted.

"Well if she thinks I'm gonna give her special treatment because she is Mario's daughter she better change her attitude. She's just another greenhorn after all and a greenhorn is a greenhorn no matter who you are related to." Edgar chuckled.

"So if you do win and he did bet her you're gonna let her on?" Sig shrugged his shoulders.

"A bet is a bet Edgar." Edgar got up and went back down on deck leaving Sig lost in his thoughts

The wind was picking up and the waves were getting higher. Nicole was almost done with securing the pots and she was thankful she was. She almost lost her footing once before and she wanted to get back onto the deck where she was safe. Luke had been watching her the whole time and Nicole couldn't help, but notice that it looked like he was waiting for something to happen to her. Nicole pushed it out of her mind. She didn't have time to worry about what Luke was up to. She had other things to worry about. Like the pots and her life. The wind was blowing and Nicole felt herself slipping again. She grabbed onto the rail, but she slipped and if the rope wasn't there she would have surely went overboard. She looked at Luke who she knew would help her, or at least go get help. Luke looked at her and smiled and walked away. "Luke?" Nicole waited for him to come back. She was hoping her went to go get help, but when he came back he was holding a knife. He grabbed the rope.

"I've been waiting for this opportunity ever since you came on the boat Nicole." he said.

"Luke? What are you doing Luke?" she looked at him with pleading eyes. "Please don't do this Luke. You don't want to do this." She begged. He took the knife and cut the rope and let her fall into the Bering Sea. No one heard the splash of the water, and no one heard her screams.

Sig sat in his wheelhouse still lost in his thoughts. He kept thinking about what Edgar had said and he couldn't help, but wonder about the idea of having Nicole on the Northwestern. It would be nice to have a boat mom who would be able to cook nice meals and make sure they had clean clothes. Sig shook his head. She was just another greenhorn and if Mario did bet her, he would treat her like he treats all the greenhorns he had come on his boat. While looking out the window he was snapped out of his daze when he heard his radio crackle. "Hey Sig can you hear me it's Mario." Sig smiled.

"Hey Mario. How is everything on your end?" Mario chuckled.

"Everything is all good besides the wind and what not."

"How's your greenhorn doing?" Sig chuckled as he waited for a response.

"She is chaining the pots down now. She should of been done by now though. I don't know what's taking her so long. Sig I'll call you back. I need to check on something" After that it went silent. Sig hoped everything was alright. Mario told him about how Nicole gets things done fast and usually takes precautions.

Flashback:

Nicole had finally left the Elbow Room and Mario was answering everyone questions about his new greenhorn. "So Mario what made you decide to make your daughter the new greenhorn of the Bella Amore?" Phil asked.

"Well Nicole is next in line to own the Bella Amore, so instead of doing the difficult task of finding a new greenhorn, I decided that it was time for Nicole to come aboard. She's been wanting to come work with me for awhile now, but I kept telling her no." They all looked at him.

"So Nicole is next in line to own the Bella Amore?" Mario nodded at Andy's question.

"She is. Since me and Kathy had no sons we decided that since Nicole is the oldest she will take charge of it."

Sig's thoughts were interrupted when the radio crackled to life "Man overboard!" was all Sig heard from Mario. Norman looked at his brother.

"Was that Mario?" Sig nodded. "Who do you think fell overboard?"

"I know who fell overboard Norman." Norman looked at Sig. "It was Nicole."
