"Ay," Calliegh's captain called to the passengers on the deck. "We'll be on shore in 10 minuets. Let's save the chit-chat for later. I want to be back on the waters as soon as possible."

So, ten minuets later, they had pulled in and the new couple came aboard. Calliegh and Mark came up to the deck to greet them.

"Everyone," the captain called, "please welcome your new roomies, Eric Delco and Jesse McNabb. Calliegh's head shot up like a bullet. She couldn't believe that Eric and his girlfriend were going to be vacationing with her. Mark noticed her awe.

"What is it?" He asked worriedly.

"Huh? Oh, nothing." She brushed away and moved back.

Following the captains wishes, they were back at sea in fifteen minuets. Earlier, they had cooked a large dinner and now sat in the cabin enjoying it.

"So, Eric, what do you do for a living?" Mark asked Eric.

"I work in the downtown courthouse," he answered flawlessly. Eric had not been able to talk to Calliegh alone, so he could only prey that she would go along with his story.

"Really? What branch"

"Um, maintenance." Every one chuckled. Eric pulled off a fake blush.

"Here I was thinking you were some high powered lawyer," Jesse laughed. "You decided to tell me this when we were in the middle of the ocean?"

"You wouldn't have come otherwise."

"Actually, you never told me before what you did." Eric shrugged.

"Now you know."

"Hey, wait a second," Joe Roberts, Mark's brother, cut in. "I work maintenance too. I haven't seen you around." Eric flustered for a moment, but simply said,

"We probably work different shifts." Joe shrugged and let it go. Eric sighed in relief.

"Mark told me that you have your own D.J. company," Calliegh said in an attempt to change subjects.

"I just do a few private parties now and then," Joe answered. They carried the conversation on, talking about hobbies and such, just trying to get to know one another since they would be together for a while. They went out to the deck for a glorious Miami sunset, taking in the sight. One by one they went off to bed, until only Calliegh and Eric remained.

"So, Mr. Janitor," Calliegh teased, "Have to ruin my vacations too huh?" Eric gave her a weak smile, suddenly looking uncomfortable.

"I didn't know you were going to be here."

"Well, I certainly didn't make arrangements for it to happen either."

"Yah, but…" Eric sighed frustrated, "This is not good."

"Eric what's going on?" Calliegh now was worried. Eric explained to her that there was at least one terrorist on board who wanted to take the boat down.

"Oh my god," Calliegh exclaimed when he finished. "It must be personal with one of us."

"Yah, listen. You know the situation better than me. Anybody seem suspicious?"

"No, not that I've noticed. There's Mark and Joe Roberts, they planned the trip, and then there's Joe's friend Katie. That's it-oh, and the captain."

"Right, so there's them, plus us, and Jesse. Calliegh, it could be anyone, so don't suck up to anyone." Calliegh smiled.

"Don't worry about me, Mr. Janitor. Just act like you've never met me before."

"Yah, listen Calliegh. We'll figure this out and get out of here okay?"

"We'll get out…one way or another."


Sorry it's so short. I'll more than likely have the next chapter up tomorrow. Thanks.
