Flynn dressed in the officer's uniform as instructed by Violet. She told him to head up to the bridge and help with the evacuation efforts when the time came. He didn't want to separate from Tenley nor Violet but he decided to follow her lead.

Tenley followed Violet as she led them through the hallways towards the upper deck. Violet glanced over her shoulder and stated, "I have to ask and forgive me if it sounds strange but have you discovered your family yet?"

Tenley's brows knitted together. "What do you mean?" she asked. "I don't understand what you mean-"

"Maybe you haven't been told yet," Violet muttered, ignoring her remark.

"What about my family?" Tenley pushed. "Does this have something to do with the email?"

Violet turned around to face the doctor. "So, you did get the message?"

"I don't know-"

"Did you read your message?" she asked, grabbing Tenley's arms to hold her in place as she gazed deep into her eyes. "Did you see the results?"

"I got the results of the DNA testing," Tenley admitted. "But how is that possible? They're my family-"

"No," Violet interrupted. "They're not." She released Tenley's arms and motioned for her to follow. As they walked, Violet asked, "Did Jack not tell you?"

"Tell me what?" Tenley asked. She remembered Jack very well. She shuddered as she thought back over him.

Violet sighed. "Jack came from the future."

"I remember," Tenley admitted.

"A future that might not exist anymore," Violet stated. "Because he told you who he was."

"Okay?" Tenley muttered, trying to keep up.

Violet cleared her throat. "Did he tell you anything about your family?"

The two stopped in a secluded spot on the deck. Violet studied Tenley's face as she thought over her interactions with Jack in the past. Tenley's eyes moved in thought. Suddenly, a memory popped into her mind. "He said that no matter how many times they tried to change history with my family, the outcome was always the same."

Violet nodded. "Did you ever wonder what changed?"

Tenley swallowed nervously. "What did he do to them?"

"Everything you could possibly imagine," Violet explained. "Your father changed three times." Tenley's face paled. Violet continued, "Your mother has changed a couple of times too. Even your siblings... their jobs have changed, the house you grew up in, even the dog."

Tenley's mouth parted to speak but her words caught in her throat. She stood there frozen, unable to respond as she listened to Violet.

Violet asked, "Have you ever thought about why your family hated you?"

Tenley swallowed her nerves. She shook her head. "I don't-"

"Those results that were mailed to you should have told you the answer to that question," Violet stated.

"That's impossible," Tenley whispered.

Violet held her gaze. "No, it's not," she answered, voice becoming pleading-like. "Think about it, Tenley. If your parents have changed that many times then that only means one thing..."

Tenley shook her head, almost willing Violet not to continue.

"You're not their child," Violet told her.

Flynn entered the bridge to find the Captain and the helmsman. Both men turned to see Flynn's approach.

The Captain studied Flynn carefully. "I don't recognize you, sir."

"I was added to the crew in Naples, sir," Flynn lied.

The Captain slowly nodded. "Sounds like they wanted one of their own onboard for this mission, eh?"

Flynn nodded, knowing that his accent had led the Captain to believe that. He decided the best course of action would be for them to think whatever they wanted to.

"What can I do for you?" the Captain asked, turning his gaze back out of the window of the bridge.

Flynn examined the room, almost orienting himself to the layout for when the time came. "I was told to join you, sir."

"By whom?" the Captain asked, brows furrowed. He turned to face Flynn.

"Officer Johnson," Flynn said, deciding to use the name of the sleeper. "He asked me to check in with you to see if you needed anything."

The Captain's eyes narrowed suspiciously at Flynn. He took a step towards him. "I don't have anyone by that name on my crew."

Flynn's eyes darted over to the helmsman and back to the Captain. "I apologize, sir. The crew must be playing a joke on me. I'll take my leave-"

"You will do no such thing," the Captain spat. "You will stay right where you are." The Captain turned to the helmsman. "Get the First Mate up here."

Flynn sighed as the helmsman rushed off. "That's really not necessary-"

The Captain aimed a small gun at him. "I'd stay quiet if I were you, sir."

"I'm not your enemy here," Flynn said, raising his hands up in defense. "I'm trying to help-"

"One more word out of you and I'll shoot you," the Captain warned. "Less paperwork to deal with."

The helmsman had returned with another couple of officers. The Captain ordered, "Take him to the brig. I'll be down shortly to deal with him soon enough."

"You're making a mistake!" Flynn shouted as the felt the shackles gripping his wrists. "I'm trying to help you!"

As Flynn was pulled out of the bridge, he spotted Violet and Tenley's stunned faces as they watched Flynn's arrest.

Tenley's eyes turned back to the Captain. He had turned to shake the hands of another officer. She nudged Violet and asked, "Friend of yours?"

Violet muttered, "Yes."

"What do we do now?" Tenley asked.

Violet inhaled deeply, pulling Tenley away from the area. "We stick to the plan."

"I can't leave Flynn down there-" Tenley protested.

"You'll die if you go down there for him now," she told her. "It's almost time-"

"I'm not leaving him!" she spat.

Violet sighed, head hanging in defeat. "Fine," she caved. "He'll be in the brig. It's the level above the cargo holds, near the back." She checked her watch. "You're not going to make it before we hit the mine."

"I have to try," Tenley remarked.

Violet nodded. "Then you have to do what you have to do," she told her. "But know that once the ship hits the mine, you'll have-"

"55 minutes," she said. "I know."
"That's for the ship sinking," Violet told her. "You have less than that in the lower decks."

"Then I better get going," Tenley said.

Violet stopped her. "Good luck, Tenley. I wish I could tell you more."

Tenley nodded. "Me too. And I'm sorry," she added. "For not being able to help you fake your death."

As Tenley started for the stairs that led inside, she glanced over her shoulder. The man that had Flynn arrested had spotted her. His eyes narrowed at her. Tenley quickly rushed into the ship. She hoped that the man would follow her just so he'd leave Violet alone but at the same time, she hoped he'd leave her alone too.

08:07

Tenley rushed to the lower levels of the ship. Her nerves were getting the better of her as her breathing grew and her body started to tremble. She began jumping at the slightest noises around her. She knew time wasn't on her side. She just wanted to make sure that she found Flynn before it was too late.

She stopped briefly at the map on the wall of the hallway. She scanned the image to see that she still needed to get to the end of the long hallway to where the brig was. She had to run if she were to make it before the explosion.

She turned to make her way down when she bumped into the man from the bridge. She gasped, backing away from him and into the wall.

"I see that Violet has made a new friend," he remarked, scanning her face.

She swallowed nervously. "Please-"

"I don't care what you have to say," the man replied. "Begging has always been overdone."

Tenley scoffed, unsure what to do. The man asked, "What did she tell you?"

"Who?"

"Violet," the man spat. "Don't play dumb."

"She didn't tell me anything-"

The man sighed, giving her another disappointed look. "Don't lie either. I'd much rather listen to your begging."

"She didn't tell me anything-"

The man shook his head again, clearly growing frustrated. "I'm going to ask you one more time," he told her, removing a gun from his coat. "What did she tell you?"

"Who are you?" Tenley asked. "Bloodstone? Rittenhouse?"

"Doesn't matter," the man replied. "Once this is all over and done with, they'll be one and the same."

"What does that mean?" Tenley asked, hoping to keep him distracted off of what he wanted to know.

He laughed. "I know what you're doing," he said leaning towards her. "It won't work."

The ship jerked violently as an explosion boomed loudly throughout the ship. It threw the two to the ground. The man's gun slid across the floor and down the stairwell nearby as the ship continued to shake violently.

The ship groaned, strained, and creaked as it took the impact. Tenley noticed the man struggling to regain his footing. She knew that she had to act quickly. She rolled onto her knees and crawled up the hallway. She hoped to put as much distance between the two of them so that when the opportunity presented itself to get back on her feet, she'd be able to.

She felt the shaking of the ship lessening and pushed herself to her feet, stumbling into the walls as she tried to find her balance. Alarms sounded throughout the ship, sounding the order to evacuate.

Tenley glanced over her shoulder to see that the man had disappeared. She knew he'd still come after her. She rushed into the brig to see Flynn inside a cell and two officers standing guard.

The moment she burst into the room, the guards stared at her. She stammered, "We've been hit! We have to evacuate!"

The guards exchanged terrified looks before looking at her. "What did the Captain say?"

"We have to go!" she ordered. "Let him out! Let's go!"

One of the guards pulled the keys out of his pocket and started to work on the door to Flynn's cell. Just as he was about to unlock the door, a shot echoed inside the room. Tenley watched as the man with the keys fell to the ground dead.

She whirled around to see the suited man from earlier standing behind her. He smacked her across the face hard with the butt of his gun. She collapsed onto the ground, the world fading to black. She heard the sounds of gunfire, followed by a couple of cries of pain before her world was engulfed in darkness.

08:20

"Tenley?" a familiar voice spoke. "Tenley? Wake up! We don't have much time."

Tenley's eyes slowly opened and adjusted to the light around her. Flynn stood above her, gazing at her carefully. "What happened?"

Flynn shook his head. "We don't have time!" he said. He checked the rest of her out and asked, "Can you walk?"

She nodded, grimacing as she sat up. She touched her forehead where she had been struck. There were traces of blood on her hand. Flynn pulled her to her feet.

Stabilizing her on her feet, he grabbed her shoulders and gazed into her eyes. "Are you all right?"

The ship rumbled under their feet. She nodded. "Yeah..."

He took her hand, pulling her out of the brig. Her eyes darted back into the room to see the two guards and the suited man dead.

"The ship is sinking fast," Flynn told her. "We need to try to get up on deck."

Water was already pooling over their ankles. They looked up the hallway to see the water pouring in from the stairwell quickly. They stopped dead in the tracks. The ship groaned and jostled forward again. Flynn grabbed Tenley, making sure she didn't fall again.

She gripped his coat tightly. "What do we do?"

His eyes had hardened, lips tight. He glanced back at her. He could see the fear behind her eyes. He didn't have an answer. He knew that they'd be unable to climb up all the stairs to the upper deck in time. The ship was sinking too quickly for that.

Before he could answer her, the ship started to roll slightly, forcing them to brace against the wall. He grabbed her hand and ordered, "Follow me! I have an idea!"

Flynn pulled her towards the stairs and down a level into the cargo hold. "Where are we going?" she asked in a panic. "We should be going up!"

Flynn didn't explain. He hoped that he would be right about his gut feelings. He had to have faith that what he was told would come to fruition.

When they entered the cargo hold, most of the contents inside had slid down towards the vast flooding. Tenley's heart lurched as she watched the waters growing. "What are we doing?" she asked, panicked.

Flynn's eyes scanned the room. His heart fell into his stomach as he realized that he had screwed up. He turned to face Tenley. He could see her fear, her sadness, and the betrayal he imposed on her.

He slipped his hands on either side of her cheeks, pulling her forward and crashing his lips onto hers. He couldn't bring himself to tell her that this would probably be the end of them as they knew it.

When Tenley pulled away from him, the water had started to rise towards them. She glanced down and felt the ship starting to rise slightly, groaning under the weight of the ship's bow deep under the water. She raised her head to look back at Flynn and that's when she noticed the red glow coming from his coat pocket. "Flynn..."

His eyes darted down to his pocket. When he saw the red light, he whirled around, still holding her wrist, just in time to see the Lifeboat clank down into the cargo hold.

The weight of the Lifeboat had caused the ship to teeter, throwing everyone off their feet. Flynn and Tenley crashed to the floor, water splashing them briefly as the ship started to lower again.

Flynn bolted to his feet, pulling her up with him. He began leading her towards the Lifeboat. The hatch opened and Rufus and Lucy sat inside. Rufus lowered his hand down. "Did you miss us?"

Flynn ignored the remark, lifting Tenley up. Rufus grabbed her wrists and helped her inside. Flynn started to climb into the Lifeboat. Rufus helped him inside. Once they were both inside, Rufus quickly returned to his chair, strapping in. "Hold onto your butts!"

The hatch started closing. Just as it latched, they could hear the sound of the ship snapping under the weight. Tenley embraced Flynn just as the Lifeboat disappeared from that time.
