Ch. 36 Final Fight

The crowd gasped as they witnessed Cal throw the first punch. Everyone was so shocked about two people fighting after the sinking of the Titanic. This should be a happy moment. Who would dare fight on a cruise ship after a great tragedy?

Jack was punched in the mouth but it didn't affect him too much. He touched his lips, looked at the blood on his fingers, looked at Cal and then said, "Is that all you got punk?"

"You haven't seen anything yet Mr. Dawson." said Cal with a devious smile.

"Give me your best shot!" Jack taunted.

This time, instead of throwing one punch, Cal threw multiple punches.

Jack did the same to him.

The passengers watched in horror as the two men clobbered each other.

As they fought, they did some street fighting. Jack and Cal threw punches as if they were boxing.

Jack managed to grab Cal's shoulders and kick him 3 times in the stomach which lead him to fall.

But Cal, even though he was a jerk, was tough…maybe tougher than Jack. So he wasn't going down so easily. Cal got right back up and went at him again even harder. After the fall, Cal punched and kicked out of anger with full force. And because it was out of anger, it was non-stop as if he was a machine gun.

Jack did his best to dodge or deflect his attacks but unfortunately took on a lot of hits and was knocked down just like him. Jack was kicked in the stomach which caused him to fall.

Everyone gasped because he fell hard.

Cal let out an evil laugh as he watched Jack on the ground struggling to get back up. It gave him so much satisfaction. Certainly, this would make him give up.

Jack was growing tired from the intense fighting. He had a hard time getting back up. 'Am I going to waste my time fighting this fool? Can't he just accept the fact that Rose doesn't want to be with him anymore?' While Jack thought those thoughts, Cal grabbed and body slammed him.

That really made the crowd gasp because they figured 'hasn't he had enough?'

Even Rose was shocked and it was really starting to upset her.

Cal was really trying to kill the man. And if that wasn't upsetting enough, Cal had one more thing up his sleeve.

That body slam did it. Jack pretty much felt defeated. Maybe he really should throw in the towel. After all, Cal was a lot stronger than him. So as Jack struggled to get up, he gave Cal a menacing look and said, "You don't know when to quit, do you?"

Cal gave Jack his sneaky smile and finally replied with, "Neither do you Mr. Dawson. Rose is mine!" He then reached into his jacket, pulled out his gun and pointed it at Jack.

Immediately everyone screamed as all hell was about to break loose. They couldn't imagine what was about to happen.

Rose, knowing that Cal hated Jack, decided to jump in and interfere. "Noooooooo!" She got up and jumped on Cal's back.

Cal pulled the trigger and missed Jack by the hair.

Panic suddenly arose on the ship as if they were on the sinking Titanic again. When people heard gun fire that meant "game over" for anybody.

"Rose! You stupid wench!" yelled Cal out of anger. He was so close to killing Jack.

There was no way Rose was letting go of Cal. She wasn't about to let Cal kill the man that she loved…..not if she could help it. While on top of him, Rose tried to take his gun but Cal was too fast and too strong for her. Cal ended up throwing her down just like he did Jack.

Falling on the ground really hurt and reminded her of what happened to Jack. So she literally felt his pain….to a degree…..except she wasn't exhausted like him.

Just that one bullet made the master of arms and other bodyguards come out to handle the situation.

The situation was at its peak and would only escalate if not handled soon.

The bodyguards found the suspect with the weapon and disarmed him properly. They disabled Cal, got him on the ground and put him in handcuffs.

Jack, on the other hand, felt relieved. 'Thank God for Rose!' he thought to himself.

Seeing Jack's condition, Rose immediately forgot about Cal throwing her off him and rushed to his side to comfort him. "Jack!"

"Rose!" said Jack dropping to his knees in such gratitude.

Rose threw her arms around Jack and kissed him. "Oh I'm so glad you're alive!"

"Yeah! I'm glad you're alive too Rose!" he hugged and kissed her back.

They were so happy to be in each other's arms once again.

Cal was arrested and thrown into the brig.
