Chapter 27: What's it going To Be?

It has been ten minutes since the gang broke free from the third class area. Once they make it up to the decks, they soon discover most of the boats have been launched.

"Shit! The boats are gone." Taylor says.

"See, Ryan? I told you. The crewmen kept us down there on purpose because they wanted poor White people to die." Chad whispers to Ryan hoping Zeke and Taylor didn't hear them. Zeke did and smacked him on his head.

"Shut up, Chad! If it wasn't for me and Taylor, Jason, Martha, & Troy would be dead right now." Zeke shouted at him.

"I'm sorry, Zeke and Taylor."

"Besides, you're not even White. You're Jamaican." Troy pointed out to him.

"Yes, I am. My mom's Italian, so that makes me half White. She died when she had me. Don't you remember me saying that to you?" The girls were fed up with their arguing, especially Taylor.

"Will you guys stop fighting? That's not what's important right now. What's important is getting the fuck of this ship." Taylor yelled out to the young men.

"She's right. Let's go." Troy said. As soon as they started walking again, they hear a feminine voice in the distant area screaming out Taylor's name.

"MISS TAYLOR? MISS TAYLOR ROSE?" the voice said. Taylor turned her head to see who was trying to get her attention.

"MISS TAYLOR ROSE?" The voice got louder as the owner was getting closer to her. When Taylor saw who the owner's voice was, she grew a huge grin on her face.

"GABRIELLA!" Taylor shouted as she started to run towards her. Once they reunited, both girls gave each other a big bear hug and started to cry on each other's shoulder. The rest of the group walked over to the reunited duo.

"Oh, my God! I thought I would never see you again." Gabriella cried.

"I'm so happy you're alright." Taylor said. "So, why are you out here? Toni sent you back to the suite."

Gabriella dried her face before she started to talk. "I was in the suite waiting for you and Toni to return. Then, Master Shelton and Spencer came in the room very angry." Soon, she started to get teary eyed again while she was still talking. "Shelton started yelling at me, hitting me, and dragged me to his bed. He tried to rape and kill me, but-"Gabriella immediately stopped talking as she looked down at the ground.

"'But' you what?" Taylor asked. Gabriella raised her head and looked at Taylor with a huge smile on her face.

"I kicked him in his balls. Spencer tried to get me, but I did the same thing. I threw my apron at them and I said 'I quit'."

"OH, MY GOD!" Taylor shouted before she gave her another hug. The rest of the group joined in with them. "I didn't know you had it in you."

"Well, I have one person to thank for my new found courage and backbone." Gabriella said before she turns to Chad. She grabs him by his curly hair and kisses him on the lips. The group yells out 'woos' at the new couple.

"Go, Chad!" Troy yells out.

"Thank you, Chad." She says after she breaks the kiss.

"Wow! I don't know what to say." Chad couldn't find the words. He was startled over the kiss.

"Don't worry about it. Now, let's get the hell off this ship. There's a tall, crazy Black man named Shelton Johnson that wants all of us dead." Gabriella says before they resume running to find a boat. They run past a small band of musicians playing classical music.

"How cute: music to drown by. Now I know what it feels like to be in first class." Ryan chuckles to Zeke.

"Try hearing that shit on a nightly basis." Zeke said.

It didn't take them long before they found a boat that was loading passengers. It was one of the eight collapsible boats the Angelic II had, but it was better than nothing. They also notice that lots of people (mostly third class) were scrambling onto the boats. Like with the previous boats, the crewmen were only letting women, children, and men over 65 on.

The guys knew all ten of them won't get on. They also had a feeling the girls won't make it on either. Troy and Chad thought of an idea. The five boys gathered in a small group away from the girls. Troy started talking.

"Alright, we all won't make it on this boat. As long as the girls are safe, that's all that matters right?" All four men nodded their heads in agreement. "Jason, Ryan, and Zeke, you three and your girls find a boat on the other side. Chad and I will stay here with Taylor and Gabriella. Understood?"

"Understood." The four men said before they grabbed their girls and left the area. Troy and Chad stayed with Taylor and Gabriella to try their luck.

"Where did the others go?" Gabriella asked Chad.

"They're going to see if they can find another boat. They'll be fine." Chad said before he kisses her.

Unknown to the entire group, Shelton's servant Spencer saw the entire group at the boat waiting to get on. When he spotted Taylor and Gabriella, a huge smirk grew on his face.

"You bitches aren't getting away so easily." Shelton says to himself before he leaves and goes back to tell Shelton.


Meanwhile, Shelton was waiting to get on a boat patiently. He knew Officer Aaron Murphy wouldn't let him down. His $100,000 deal to the short man was too good to be true. While Officer Murphy and Dr. Brian Isley were helping women and children getting on the boat, Shelton was looking at the passengers and told himself how worthless they were because they weren't rich like him.

"God, why are any of these 'things' getting on the boats? And before me, none the less. They should've placed all the rich Black Americans on first and the rest should fight for the remaining spots. That would've been the smart thing to do." Soon, he heard footsteps coming towards him. He turns and sees it's his servant Spencer.

"Master Shelton?"

"Yes, Spencer?"

"I got good news. I found Taylor. She's waiting for a boat on the other side." Shelton grew a smile on his face.

"That's good news." His smile quickly went away when Spencer resumed talking.

"With 'them'."

"What do you mean 'with them'?"

"She's on the other side waiting for a boat with 'them'." Spencer said putting an emphasis on the word 'them'. "You know who I'm talking about when I mean 'them'."

"You're not kidding, are you?" Shelton asks before Spencer shook his head no. Once Officer Murphy was done calling for other passengers to get onboard, he walked over to the two men.

"Everyone's aboard, Mr. Johnson. It's your turn. Are you getting on?" Officer Murphy asked him.

Shelton had a big decision to make. He had a deal with Officer Murphy and was guaranteed a spot in a boat. He also wanted to see Taylor and Gabriella and make sure she's okay. He knew if he got on the boat, he might never see Taylor again. He also knew if he didn't get on the boat, he might never get another chance to survive. What's a rich snobby man to do?

When Officer Murphy didn't get an answer from him, he turns around and tells the other crewmen Shelton won't get on.

"He's not getting on." Officer Murphy tells his men and they resume preparing to lower. When Shelton realized he missed his chance, he cursed underneath his breath.

"Goddamn this fucking ship to hell." Shelton said to himself before he walked away to find Taylor. Spencer closely followed him. They were stopped by crew members and were told they couldn't cut through the bridge, but they pushed them aside and crossed anyway.

"Wonderful. I'm glad everyone on here is safe." Dr. Isley said to his employees. When Officer Murphy announced the boat was preparing to lower, he made the most cowardly thing anyone in his position would ever do: he snuck onto the boat. He looks straight ahead with out looking at anybody on the ship.

"Ready on the left?" Officer Murphy spotted Dr. Isley on the boat. He doesn't say anything; he looks at him for a few seconds and gets a sick feeling in his stomach. After sighing, he yells out "Take them down" and the boat slowly lowers into the ocean. As the boat lowered into the ocean, Officer Murphy calls Dr. Isley a "fucking coward."

Dr. Brian James Isley, the CEO of AngelStar Cruise Line, will soon regret his decision. The sinking of his ship Angelic II and the lives that would be lost on it will haunt him for the rest of his life.
