Chloe felt the wind blowing her hair over her shoulder and frowned something wasn't right. She pulled a hair band off her wrist and tied her hair back into a loose ponytail. She turned and strode back into the hall looking around the hall wondering where Drake had disappeared to. She had left Harry out on deck where he vomited over the side of the ship. She looked to the door that led to the rooms and hesitated, she wanted to check and knew it was her only real option now seeing as he was no where to be seen. She turned and started into the hall and looked around seeing it was empty and no one was around anywhere. There was something wrong something really wrong. It was far to quite.

Hawk looked to Barnes his closest in command of the expedition besides Katie was was the one who was to lead them to the location. He turned he corner and looked towards his room and hesitated as he heard voices, he was extremely nosy when it came to voices coming from his room. He crept closely to the door and pressed up against the door listened. He could hear the voice of Katie anyway and a....man? How dare she bring a man back to his room. He looked over his shoulder at Barnes and motioned for him to follow his lead. He began talking loudly to let her know he was coming just to see if she would be truthful about the man or not.
"No we have to get on that Island tonight we've already been delayed a day and we need to get moving"

Katie turned as she heard the voice and looked at Nate and motioned for him to hide in the bathroom. Nate looked at the door and then back to her nodding quickly and quickly rushed into the bathroom flicking off the light as Katie closed the door and whirled around as she heard Hawk and Barnes enter the room.
"Hey babe we're planning on an early departure" he said shrugging off his shirt and showing his perfectly sculpted body and opening the wardrobe.
"Oh...eh how early?" she said knowing she should change out of the dress. She looked at Barnes who was looking at the body of Eddie Raja's goon. "He attacked me" she said simply as she turned and unzipped her dress and let it slip down to the floor turning and pulling a clean white vest from the wardrobe and pulling it on.
"Eddie Raja?" Hawk questioned turning as he buttoned up his shirt. Katie nodded and remembered Nate had the dogtags. "That's great. I've hired him to help with the treasure" Katie's eyes widened slowly and looked at him. She had dealings with him in the past and they were never pleasant.
Nate listened slowly to what Hawk was saying and groaned quietly as he heard that he had hired Eddie Raja. Above all people he had to choose him things hadn't ended well last time with him which involved Eddie's sister, Rika. He looked up as he heard Hawk begin talking again.
"Well you see we've had word that Nathan Drake is here as well as a few others and are on the trail of the treasure" he said "So we need to get to that island tonight"he said starting towards the bathroom "Barnes dispose of that body" he called over his shoulder. Katie saw him move towards the bathroom and felt her whole frame tense.
"Wait but they'll still get to the island tomorrow so theres no real point" she said pulling on a white denim waistcoat and zipping it up. Hawk paused and turned looking at her as she spoke and looked at her his mind deep in thought for the moment. Katie grew slightly nervous as he seemed to study her and stepped towards her.
"Your right" he said turning to Barnes "We need a distraction....get the charges and meet me in the engine room" he said pulling on his cargo pants and heavy boots. He grabbed a walkie talkie and looked at her throwing another to her. She caught it and looked at him.
"Your going to blow up the ship?" Hawk looked at her a small smirk forming on his face as he nodded.
"Back in a while get the equipment into one of the longboats I'll have Eddie prep his men and then..."
"Then what?"
"Boom" he smirked as he and Barnes made their way out of the room. Katie felt her heart skip a beat and turned pilling the door of the bathroom open.
"You need to go now" she said as she turned and opened another silver case that had been hidden under the bed and pulled a two walkie talkies. "How many is there? You, Flynn..."
"Chloe Frazer and Victor Sullivan. But he can't be serious about blowing up the ship? What about everyone else on board?" he said in disbelief taking the four walkie talkies.
"He will. Now" she said turning to him "A boat on the south side will be lowered so you and the others can get to the beach I'll only be able to tell you when the bomb is going to off a few minutes before detonation so you'll need to be waiting for my signal or else get on that boat as fast as you can and go. Get your equipment and get off" she said looking at him and handing him a few earpieces for the walkie talkies. "I'll be on channel 4 at all times when your not using them turn them off or switch channels or else Hawk will be able to track you. He's going to think you and the others are dead so be careful when on the island. He'll have men everywhere" she said attaching a holster around her thigh and loading her baretta and slipping it into the holster. She looked at Nate and nodded as she pulled her hair back into a ponytail pulling a brown leather jacket from the wardrobe and turned about to leave.
"Hey" he called making her pause and turn to look at him "Thanks" she smiled and nodded before disappearing through the door. Nate breathed in deeply and knew he had to move fast and find the others. He dashed through the door back to the room where Sully would be.

Chloe looked up as she heard footsteps and saw Nate, running. What was he running from?
"Nate?" he skidded to a halt in front of her and looked down at her.
"Where's Flynn?" he asked urgently.
"Wait whats going on?" she asked slightly worried at his sudden appearance and clear urgency to get moving.
"The boat's about to be blown up we need to get off now. Where's Flynn?!" he asked again.
"Come on" she said turning and beginning to rush through the corridors back to the deck where Flynn was. The pair ran out onto the deck and looked around seeing Harry leaning on the railings looking at the inky waters clearly gotten over his slight hangover.
"Flynn!" Nate called and ran up to him. Harry winced slightly at how loud his name was called and looked at Nate who almost slipped on a puddle of water.
"Woah slow down there cowboy" he said as Nate almost knocked into him.
"Harry the boats going to blow we need to get off now" Chlow said knowing he'd listen a bit more intently if she just put it out there. Harry looked at her and frowned.
"How long do we have?" he asked.
"Minutes" Nate said.
