The passengers were beginning to panic as the stewards kept them locked behind the gate. Fabrizio and a few other men opened the side door where the third class passengers originally boarded the ship.

"Shut that door!" the ship's officers said pulling it shut. "This is not an exit!"

"Open the gate and let us now", Tommy said. "You can't keep us locked up like animals. The ship's bloody sinking!"

The stewards looked through the gates to see how many women and children were there. One of the ship's officers finally brought a key to open the gates.

"Women only!" the steward said. "No men!"

"You have to go", Tommy said turning to Muriel.

"I can't leave without you", she said. "Or Mum and Papa. We still need to find them."

They gasped and looked up as men tried to push their way past the gate. Ship's officers started bashing people with the wooden handle of an axe, trying to get them back behind the gate. Everyone screamed as the people were pushed back behind the gate, being beaten. The steward pulled a gun out of his pocket and loaded it with bullets as the gate was shut and locked again.

"For god's sakes, man!" Tommy screamed. "There are women and children down here! Let us up so we can have a chance!"

The steward gave Tommy a dirty look as he just kept the gun aimed at them and kept the gate locked.

"What are we going to do now?" Muriel asked.

Tommy looked around trying to figure out what to do now. He turned around and quickly went down the stairs.

"Jack!" he said surprised when he saw Jack and Rose.

"Tommy!" Jack said. "Is there any way out?"

"It's hopeless that way", he answered.

"Whatever we do, we have to do it fast", Jack said.

"Jack, what's happening?" Muriel asked. "Have you seen my parents anywhere?"

"No, we haven't seen them anywhere."

"Jack!" Fabrizio called out, reaching the group. "The boats are all gone!"

"The whole place is flooding", Jack said. "We got to get out of here."

"There's nothing this way!" he said.

"Alright, let's go this way."

Tommy held onto Edith and held Muriel's hand as they followed Jack and rose down the hall. Hopefully, they would find another way out.

"But what about Mum and papa?" she asked.

"I'm sure we'll find them", Tommy said.

"Muriel!" Cormick called out. "Children!"

He and Ita ran up and down the hallways, trying to look for the children. The water was rising higher, making them wade through the water. They looked up and down the hall to see it practically abandoned.

"Do you think they made it to a lifeboat already?" Ita asked.

"Should we risk looking?" Cormick asked.

The two of them waded through the water, trying to find an open gate to the upper decks. they ran through the crowds, stopping when they reached the locked gate.

"Stay back!" the stewards said.

"Please let us out!" Ita said. "We have to find our children.

"Unlock the gate now", Cormick said.

"No men!" the crew yelled.

Cormick glared at them as he grabbed the gate, shaking it.

"You bastards!" he yelled. "Open the gate right now!"

Everyone screamed as the steward let out a shot. Ita screamed in horror as she watched Cormick fall to the floor with a gunshot wound to the chest.

"Cormick!" she cried and screamed. "Cormick, darling!"

Everyone backed away, watching as blood oozed from Cormick's lifeless body, seeping down the stairs.
