Luke put the boat into gear immediately and high tailed it to a place safe from flying and flaming debris.
The smoke cleared and Luke looked back to see that only one side of the boat had exploded; the side opposite where Kellie and Sonny were standing. Although, they'd both acquired various bruises and wounds in the explosion.
Luke signaled to Kellie to turn her radio on.
"How many bombs are on the ship?" Luke asked over the radio.
"I never got a chance to scout out the engine room," Kellie said, "I found the former hostages there instead."
"Well, I ain't getting my living, breathing body any closer to that death trap you and Papa Godfather are standing on," Luke said, "You'll both have to jump at the same time."
"I figured," Kellie said, "Just be ready to engage in search and rescue."
"Just don't plan on leaving town until we settle up the bar tab," Luke said, "Now get out of the dragon boat, Slinger."
Kellie turned to face Sonny.
"Oh no," Sonny said, "I am not letting you give me your spot off the boat. I know you're going to argue with me and say something about how this is what your code tells you need to do. But you are my daughter and you don't get to sacrifice your life for me. I'm the one who needs to sacrifice my life for yours."
"I'm almost touched," Kellie said, "But I wasn't planning on sacrificing my life to save your pathetic excuse of an existance."
"Thank you God," Sonny said, "She's not arguing with me for once."
"I had something else in mind," Kellie said, grabbing Sonny by the arm and dragging him to the edge.
"What's that?' Sonny asked.
"We jump," Kellie said.
Then she jumped dragging Sonny with her.
Before their feet hit the water, the remaining side of the boat exploded.
BOOM!
"Kellie," Tyler screamed as the smoke and flames seemed to engulf the two.
"Hold on a minute, Love Slave," Luke said, "It ain't over 'til there's a body to be sliced and diced in the morgue."
The smoke cleared. Sonny rose up from under the surface, looking for any sign of his daughter.
He didn't find one. Neither could Luke or Tyler.
