As the boat that carried Kate and Kathy and the other women to safety sailed through the water in the misty and cold night air, Kate couldn't help but to keep wondering how and what was happening on the ship. She couldn't help but to wonder if Leo, Victor and Billy were ok. The not knowing was driving her crazy. Kate looked at Kathy with a raised eyebrow and with a look of worry, a look that as Kathy looked at Kate, Kathy was picking up on.
"Do you—do you think they're alright?" Kate asked. "I—I mean, do you think they made it off or—"
"Kate, honey, you have to realize," Kathy started, "You're not talking about four boys, you're talking about four men. Victor, Leo, Ewan and Billy are strong men. They're going to be just fine, and so will Frances. If anyone will take charge and make sure everyone is safe, it's going to be Leo, Billy and Victor. Trust me, they're going to be fine. What I'm worried about is how the hell we all are going to get back in 2012."
Kate sighed and closed her eyes and frowned slightly.
"Ugh, I swear if I get back to 2012, I'm keeping my word to KICK James's ASS." Kate said with Kathy laughing and hugging Kate warmly.
As Billy swam back over across the first class dining room, he didn't care about the fact that all the lights had now went out on the entire ship, he just wanted to get back to where Victor and Leo was and he wanted to do it FAST. He swam as fast as he could and did so with MUCH struggle, as he swam up the stairs of the first class dining room, as he struggled and swam to the top stair, he saw Leo and Victor standing far feet away, looking at each other, talking. They looked panicky, and Billy took it to be because the entire ship was now without lights. Billy swam a few feet away from the staircase and where the water seemed fairly low, he got to his feet and ran over to them. When Victor and Leo saw Billy running to them, they looked with confusion.
"Billy, where's Frances and Ewan!" Leo asked with panic.
Billy looked at them both with sad and hurt eyes. He looked down at the floor and blinked repeatedly, his face and lips drenched in wetness.
"Um, um they—they didn't make it." Billy said in a low voice that was slowly cracking with emotion.
Leo's eyes widened and Victor looked at Billy with shock.
"WHAT!" Leo yelled.
"What do you MEAN they didn't make it!" Victor yelled. "Where are they!"
Billy looked at them as light tears once again clouded his eyes.
"I—I mean, they drowned." Billy said in a cracking voice. "I—I saw Ewan's body first and—and then Frances's. They're dead, they—they drowned, they're both dead."
Leo frowned with hurt and sighed angrily as he closed his eyes shut.
"Oh good God." Leo said with anger. "What the FUCK!"
Victor looked away from Leo and Billy and displayed a look of ultimate sadness and hurt.
"I—I think we—" Billy said before being cut off by Victor walking away from both he and Leo.
Billy looked at Victor with confusion.
"Victor, are you alright?" Billy asked as he walked over to Victor.
As Billy walked in front of Victor, he saw Victor had tears in his eyes. Billy raised an eyebrow and hugged Victor warmly and Victor hugged him back as tears streamed from his eyes.
"How did this all happen?" Victor asked in a low voice. "How is it that we're on this—this ship—dying, one by one?"
Billy pulled away from Victor and shook his head and looked with sadness.
"I—I have no idea." Billy replied. "This is like a nightmare that we all can't seem to wake up from or something. Two of our friends are dead—DEAD, on a fucking ship that sank four hundred years ago!"
Leo walked over to them and looked at them with what little strength he had left. Billy and Victor could see Leo had been teary eyed too because Leo's eyes were still a bit cloudy with left over tears.
"Look, we gotta get—" Leo was stopped by the quick and hard but slow tilt of the ship.

The tilt almost knocked Leo, Victor and Billy off their feet. Victor looked all around him quickly with fear.
"Oh shit." Victor said in an almost low voice, while looking all around.
"What!" Billy yelled. "What was that!"
"The—the ship," Leo started as he and Victor and Billy continued to feel the ship tilting to one side. "I—I think we're at the time where the ship breaks in half now."
Billy gasped with widened eyes.
"WHAT!" Billy yelled. "Well, we better get on deck now and try to get the hell off here! If this thing breaks in half, we're dead!"
As the ship began tilting even more, Victor, Leo and Billy went flying across the hall, down to the floor, causing Victor to dislocate his shoulder as he fell to the floor. Victor yelled out loudly in pain.
"Damn it my shoulder!" Victor yelled out in pain.
As Billy quickly went over and helped Victor to his feet, Leo knew they had reached the climatic part of being on the Titanic and now it was more pressure on them to try to get back to the outside deck of the ship and to get off the Titanic – and quickly before the doomed ship DID split in half and it was too late to flee….
