Amanda Bentley shifted the rented Lincoln LS into park as she braked to a halt in the loading
zone at Port Canaveral.
Mark, Jesse, Steve, and herself were set to depart on a luxury cruise to the Bahamas in less
than an hour and check-in should have already been completed.
The four of them had flown to Orlando, Mark and Amanda at the expense of Community General,
Steve and Jesse at their personal expense--so they could cruise to the Bahamas. While Mark and
Amanda attended a medical conference in the Bahamas, Jesse and Steve were planning on girl
watching and surfing.
"Guy's go ahead and unload the bags and I'll check us in." She handed Jesse the keys to the
sedan, telling him to park it after they unloaded the baggage.

After meandering around the ship for several hours--they all met back for dinner at 6:00 in the
Celebration dining room.
"Isn't this ship gorgeous, I can't wait for my massage in the morning." Amanda beamed.
"A massage, come on Amanda have some fun, an adventure. Come diving with Steve and
I." Jesse told her.
"A masseuse sounds like the perfect way to relax, I have plenty of adventure-Dr. Travis."
He was about to retaliate when the waiter and busboy appeared.
"I'm James and I'll be your waiter for this cruise. This is Kittisak and he will assist you
as your busboy. Is this your first time travelling Carnival?"
As they were about to respond glass shattered and the french doors leading to the main
part of the ship burst open. Armed men, dressed in black, sprayed bullets throughout the dining
room.
"Fuck!"
Jesse fell to the ground as a bullet went through his leg."
"God Dammit."
"Jesse!" Amanda shouted, crouching down, trying to reach him.
Steve spied the emergency exit door to the left. He nudged Amanda and his dad, telling them
to pull Jesse toward the exit. As Mark and Amanda grabbed Jesse by the arms, the evacuation
siren sounded.
