*Twenty-two*

Compliments of the Chippewa Falls Dawsons

Lovejoy, wanting that diamond more than anything now, races after Rose and Jack. He chases them through the first class dining area, catching up rather quickly. He dropped his gun clumsily. But he knew he was strong enough to get it without it.

"Shit!" Jack exclaimed when he spotted Lovejoy.

Lovejoy threw a chair and hit Jack in the legs. He fell to the ground. Rose, scared, raced for Jack. But was grabbed by Lovejoy.

"Give it to me!" Lovejoy demanded.

Rose had no idea what he was talking about. She hawked up some spit and spit in his face. He didn't care, he was set on getting that diamond.

Jack pushed Rose out of the way and stood, ready to fight Lovejoy.

"What do you want?" Jack demanded.

"Only what I've been told to fetch." He looked at Rose.

"No, I'm not going with you!" She screamed. She still didn't know he meant the Heart of the Ocean.

Using this time where Lovejoy was preoccupied. Jack balled up his fist and punched him with all his strength in the stomach. Then he retracted his fist, watching Lovejoy grab his stomach in pain. Then Jack let him have it again, this time punching him hard in the face.

"Compliments of the Chippewa Falls Dawsons." Jack said smugly. He grabbed Rose by the hand and they ran away from Cal's valet.

The ran through the smoking room, where they found Mr. Andrews. Staring at a painting, mindlessly. He had no intentions of leaving his ship. Rose knew this right away.

"Mr. Andrews!" She made Jack stop in his tracks. "Won't you even make a try for it?"

"I'm sorry, that I didn't built you a stronger ship, young Rose." He said. Tears were in his eyes, but he wouldn't let them freely come. You could see the fear, the guilt, the absolute sadness in his eyes. He felt the mortal wounds of his ship.

He handed her his lifebelt. "Good luck to ya, Rose." He said, forcing a smile.

"And to you." She hugged him. Saddened that he wouldn't try for it.

She took the lifebelt and starting putting it on. They left Mr. Andrews. Jack looked back once, to see if Andrews would change his mind. They pushed their way through the revolving doors. And made their way to the deck.
