Again this was happening, he thought annoyed as he worked on the ropes binding his hands, they were slowly loosening. He had even made sure that this time the big story he was on had nothing to do with his lover, Asami. How was he supposed to know that someone who wanted Asami dead would be on this boat and knew he would be as well, and now everything was going to hell.
Most of all he was tired, tired of being a burden and pulling trouble to him like a month to flame, and in extension more trouble for his lover. Despite how they acted most of the time, he had learned the truth, Asami did care for him, and though he didn't really want to admit it so did he.
Akihito sighed at the floor, feeling the throbbing of his jaw were one of the goons had hit him, it annoyed him the most out of all his injuries. He glanced up when a click from the door caught his attention. It was a goon.
"Time to go pretty boy, boss is about to blow this boat sky high and your lover as well." He said with a sneer. Cold gripped Akihito's heart, they were going to destroy the ship, take him away and the ransom money his lover was supposed to bring. He couldn't let that happen, he waited till the goon was closer and shot his leg straight up into the mans crotch. His face went bloodless and his knees crumpled, Akihito pulled against the ropes the blood making them slippery and was finally able to slip out of the bonds and made a break for the door, locking it behind him. Looking around at all the pipes and machinery he had to be near the engine room at the bottom of the cruiser. With desperation he made for the first set of stairs but paused when he caught a blinking red light by a large tank that held a flammable sign on it. The red flashing light was a timer, connected to several blocks of C4, and the timer blinked 15 minuets and counting. Akihito felt all of his blood leave his head and he moved backward toward the stairs. Finally snapping out of it he ran up the stairs he had to find Asami and get off this ship!
