Briseis was sleeping in the bed, while Achilles looked on. He could see her in the moonlight that peered into the porthole. He was watching her as she rested. His fingers traced her lips and the small wound on her lip from where it had split when the men hit her. He moved her hair and saw the bruises that were forming on her face. And yet she was still beautiful. He had poured himself some champagne and sat there watching her. He placed the glass on the nightstand next to her. He looked over at his jacket on the floor, and the remnants of the t-shirt he had torn off her. The sound of fabric tearing did sound appealing to him. He heard his cell phone ringing and quickly answered it. He went topside.
"Speak"
"Achilles, did you return her?"
"Odysseus, nice to hear from you"
"Did you return her?"
"Not yet, we should get there by today"
"The Agamemnon brothers are looking for you. Word has it that you killed his safehouse crew"
"They blew up my car"
"Yes, but the package, the girl, she's important."
"You don't need to tell me that"
"Damnit did you open the package?"
"Odysseus, you know me, and-"
"That's what I'm afraid of. Look she's being used as a pawn for the largest shipping company merger in history. It's not millions we're talking about, it's billions! Agamemnon shipping wants to acquire Troy Shipping. Priam has fought them as long as he could, but his sons are taking over. But it seems that with her missing, they will bend to the Agamemnon brothers wishes"
"And we can't have that can we? Don't worry, this is personal now. She'll get back safe and sound and I have score to settle with the both of them"
"Don't make it too messy now"
"I'll try, besides I never miss the mark. I'll be back in 36 hours"
"You've got 12 left"
