Finally, up, the plot thickens. Um...I hope you readers were waiting for the adventure
Well, here you go.
(Drew's POV)
Who would send me a letter? Why not go via email or text?
I opened the envelope as everyone else around me quieted, they most likely were curious about it as much as I was.
Dear Mr. Nicholson,
I hope your enjoying your evening, and I hope everyone else is too. You know whats funny? The night the Titanic hit the iceberg the passengers also had a nice dinner...but it led to disaster as you know. And so, I want to ask you whether you believe history can repeat. Well, can you? If you say no, then it wouldn't matter because you'll come to learn that the answer is indeed yes, just wait till the hands strike 11:40.
My eyes furrowed as I read the letter over and over.
What the hell did this mean...? Some kind of prank...?
"Whats wrong?" Jasper asked as he looked at me intently, as did all the others.
"Oh, nothing" I said as I pocketed the letter. "Just some family mail".
I must be a very good liar because they all bought it easily with no hesitation, actually that wasn't true because Henry Griffin continued looking at me in a strange way. as if he knew something was bothering me...but that was a coincidence, right?
(Henry's POV)
11:22
I continued eying Drew as he looked back and forth uneasily. He had taken his shades off so I could now read his eyes easily. Something was obviously wrong though, I could sense it. As the time ticked on I watched the guy get more tensed. Something was off...
"Do you notice anything off with Drew?" I asked Jasper who shrugged with a biscuit in his mouth. He looked adorable but I ignored it, I had to focus...
"No" He said with his mouth still full.
Agh, adorable.
"Are you sure?"
"Well, why wouldn't he be?" He asked innocently with suspicious eyes.
"Well, that letter...made him very tense".
"He said it was just family shit".
"...but he's lying, I could tell" And after I said that I was able to make Jasper believe me. After all our adventures he finally learned to stop doubting me and even though I wished I was wrong I could tell that something was brewing...
Danger...
...
(Drew's POV)
11:24
I watched the area around cautiously as my watch ticked on. What was I worried about...?
It's just some harmless prank...dad's been getting them all his life.
Probably just some bitter family member who knows some relative that died on the ship, they always tend to believe that what we're doing is an act of grave robbing. It's not like that though...at least not to my father.
(Henry's POV)
11:26
I kept staring at the man who grew more and more tense by the minute.
It had been that letter...I know it had. What did the letter say...? It was then that I realized the messenger who had given him the letter had been Chip...shouldn't a crew member with higher authority have done that?
"Maybe he got sea sickness" Jasper said in a whisper.
"No...no..." I said back just as quietly.
"What are you guys whispering about...?" Maggie asked from across the table.
"Henry's senses are kicking in" Jasper answered which made her eyes grow into worry. She no longer doubted me as well.
"Well, what is it?" She asked.
"I don't know..." I answered as I glanced at the guy once again. "But from the looks of it...it's not good"
(Chip's POV)
"I did as you said" I said to the figure who stood before me.
"Good" They said with a light chuckle.
"So...wheres my payment?"
"Isn't giving you a thousand and making sure you get out alive from this, payment enough?" Their voice asked as they checked their wrist watch.
I gave my boss a look but then stopped, I didn't want to get on their bad side.
"So what now?" I asked. What was the whole big plan of this? I was still clueless to what was actually going down. All I knew was that Nicholson was going to die and that this exhibit was going down...
"We'll make our entrance and then we'll wait till we hit the i.c.e.b.e.r.g." They answered with a smirk. I stared at the scarlet lips and then curiously looked at the deep blue eyes.
"What iceberg?" I asked. "How on earth were you going to get an iceberg?"
"Not any iceberg, the i.c.e.b.e.r.g."
I looked dumbfounded and thought deeply.
"This iceberg" Their voice hollered as they threw a manual at me.
I looked over the contents and froze.
"Incident, Concentration, Enhancement, Bomb,Energized, Reactor, Grade 2.0." It read making my eyes grow wide.
"A b-bomb!" I asked out in disbelief. "I didn't agree to this!"
"Yes you did" They answered with a chuckle. "You agreed to all of it. So if I fail, you fail. So you have no other choice then to continue on with the plan. Think of your family, you wouldn't want to die on the SS. Anastasia, now would you?"
I tensed but nodded slowly to the bitch.
"Good boy" The figure said as they walked away.
I hesitated but followed nonetheless.
...
(Henry's POV)
I gasped when I suddenly smelled an all so familiar smell.
It was bitter and strangely familiar...
"What's that smell?" Maggie suddenly asked as she shielded her nose. I looked about and realized just about everyone was noticing the stench.
11:30
Then as if on cue a bunch of fog illuminated from the vents as the some of the lights gave out.
A figure appeared in a black jacket, jeans, and a cap, that hid their face to all the witnesses.
"Hello, Drew" A dark voice greeted.
Everyone was by now frozen with horror and surprise.
I looked at Drew but he was frozen as well.
"Oh, don't you recognize me?" The figure asked, they were obviously using a voice disguise so I couldn't tell if it was male or female. "Of course you won't" They said with a chuckle. "You and your father would never know..."
"Who are you?" Drew asked.
"I'm the child of Winston Ann Miller" They answered making me gasp.
Miller...? Why was that name so familiar...?
"Who?" Drew asked making the other bark back.
"My father!" They hollered as they threw a knife into Drew's direction. As an impulse I shot forward and caught the blade in my hand easily making everyone else freeze. The figure grunted it's teeth in surprise and lost all his cool.
They quickly panicked and ran towards the exit but before they could reach the door I had already pounced. I slammed the guy into a fall making him cry out in pain and collapse. When I pulled off the cap I was surprised to find Chip.
"Chip?" I asked out making the man freeze.
"You!" Drew asked out as he ran towards me. The lights in the room returned on but the fog kept rolling in. "Why the hell did you try to kill me!"
"I had to" Chip answered hopelessly. "I had to..."
"Why?" I asked confused.
"...I needed money...to pay for my daughter's operation..."
Daughter...?
"Who was going to pay you?" I asked as I fisted his shirt.
"...I can't tell you ...but you have to get off this ship...before the bom-" And then several shots rang out through the room as Chip was silenced forever.
Gun shots...
I looked into a panic scene as the passengers ran for cover. A bunch of stewards rushed to aid a woman who had also gotten hit by a bullet.
I rushed over to her as well and found myself facing Carrie Ann.
"He ran that way" Was all she said as she pointed to the doors that led out of the room. I was about to follow when I felt a tremble beneath my feet.
11:40
'you have to get of this ship...before the bom-'
bom...bombs!
The ship jolted as I was tossed back into the crowd with a loud thud.
Screams uproared as tables collapsed amidst the passengers.
Shit.
I clung to the door and gasped when I saw Jasper crash into a table.
"Jasper!" I hollered as the lights began flickering.
Then there was another rumble as the ship jolted again, this one being more powerful then the first. I glanced around and saw several people crash through one of the large windows that led outside..
...death...
Sparks rained down from the ceiling as my loose grip sent me flying into the wall.
"Henry!" I heard Maggie's voice shout as another jolt rocked the ship into the opposite direction. I fell onto the floor as a wave of people slammed into the opposite wall.
"Help me!" A woman screamed as a table crushed her.
"Agh!" The ship jolted a fourth time making me roll onto the floor, feeling all the pain I would've had if I had been attacked by multiple apes.
I gritted my teeth and saw Jasper fly into my vision. He was about to slam into one of the hard pillars but I quickly grabbed him and held him close.
"Where's Maggie!" He asked as we were sent flying forward.
chaos...
A table rolled over us as the whole floor began settling once again.
The lights flickered and then went out...
...darkness.
There you go for now. Hopefully I'll update again soon.
