.:Chapter Five:.

Chloe began making her way over the deck, rushing to keep up with Englehorn.

"What's wrong? Why are you walking so fast?" Chloe asked, her breathing coming quicker now, as the now stopped at the side of the ship.

"What was going on in there?" Englehorn asked, not looking at Chloe, keeping his eyes on the sea.

Chloe frowned, and pushed a piece of her hair behind her ear.

" Excuse me?" She asked, stunned.

"You heard me Chloe. Why was Mr Driscoll holding you like that?" He asked, refusing to look at Chloe again.

"He was calming me down. And by the way, I know all about Skull Island. Did you really think you could keep it a secret all this time? We would of found out when we got there!" Chloe shouted at him, her voice getting louder and louder.

Englehorn now looked at Chloe, a surprised look on his face.

"How did you find out about that?"

"How could I not find out? After half your crew talked to Karl about it last night! Your taking us to our death by the sounds of things!" Chloe shouted at him.

Englehorn grabbed Chloe's arm, and pulled her close.

"Keep your voice down woman, the last thing I need is my whole crew turning against me!" He now shouted back to her.

"So they should, there captain is a coward. Afraid to stand up to a film director! What kind of man could do something like this? And you lied to me! You stood there, and told me we were going to Singapore! After everything and you couldn't even tell me!" Chloe whispered harshly to him, tears now coming to her eyes.

Englehorn kept hold of Chloe's arm, but looked down at the deck.

"I am sorry for not telling you. But I could not risk it. Karl owes me a lot of money, I need to take him there to get paid" He softly told her, placing his hand on her cheek. Chloe quickly slapped it away, and pulled her arms from his grasp.

"See, what did I say, a coward! You would risk our life for a few thousand dollars; you could get that money anywhere!" Chloe shouted at him, and then walked off quickly back into the ship.

She heard Englehorn follow, and she broke off into a run, she ran down the deck, and into the hallways of the ship. She looked behind to see if she could see him coming, and banged into someone on the way.

"Oh! Ouch!" Chloe now fell on the floor.

"Chloe, I'm sorry, I didn't see you" Jimmy quickly began helping Chloe up from the floor.

"Jimmy, it's alright" Chloe said, wiping her eyes, and leaning against the wall.

"What's wrong? Are you ok?" Jimmy asked concern laced his voice.

"I'm fine Jimmy. I was just talking to the captain. And we really are heading for Skull Island arn't we?" Chloe asked, wrapping her arms around her.

"We are. But don't worry, I'll look after you, I won't let anything hurt you" He boldly told her.

"Thanks Jimmy' Chloe smiled to him.

'Hey, do you have anything to drink around here?' She asked, wiping her face clean once more.

"I got some water"

"No no, I mean, anything stronger. Do you have any alcohol?" Chloe smiled to him, still leaning against the wall.

Jimmy looked around, and then looked at Chloe. How beautiful she looked leaning against the wall, he thought.

"I'll be right back, I'll meet you down in the cages" Jimmy smiled to her.

Chloe nodded, and then went the opposite way to Jimmy, making her way down to the cages.

Chloe quickly made her way to the cages, and checked Jack's cage to see if he was there. He wasn't, he was probably arguing with Karl somewhere. She climbed into her cage, and pulled her covers around her, and tried to forget about some of the things that had happened on the ship. Tonight, she was just going to drink, and be merry. She thought about Jimmy. He must have only been around 18. He was a very sweet boy, and he looked to Hayes like a father. Whilst she was thinking about Jimmy, he turned up holding two bottles of whiskey.

"Will these do?" Jimmy asked, climbing up into the cage.

"Those will do just fine Jimmy. Are you going to stay with me?" Chloe asked, hoping the answer would be yes, she didn't want to drink alone.

"Of course I'll stay. I'm not on shift tonight, I am on an early tomorrow, but I'm in the bird's nest, so I'll be fine" Jimmy smiled to her.

"Well, good. I'm glad you're staying" Chloe smiled back to him, and opened her bottle of whiskey and took a sip.

"You like?" Jimmy asked, also taking a sip, and pulling a slight face.

"It's strong. Just what I need! The more we drink, the better it will taste" Chloe laughed, and continued taking little sips.
