When Joa looked into the brown eyes of the woman, he could see a fighting flame, this made him smile a little.

"At least someone has balls"-he took advantage to further provoke the crowd.

Going to the woman, he did the same as with his chain with hers and her sister's chain.

"Welcome aboard, miss...?"

"Alice, my name is Alice and my sister's name is Sarah" she said with a dry voice as she got up and stood next to Joa while holding Sarah's hand.

"What is your name, sir?"- asked the little girl with also a dry voice, it seems to have been a while since the two had something to drink.

Before answering Sarah,Joa turned to the pile of meat and tried to find another bone.

As he searched, he tried to think of an answer for the girl..

He was no longer Joa Nahuel, this was no longer his home, the only thing he has left was the name of Adryan Kenway and the broken femur on his left hand...

The girl didn't seem to mind the fact that he ignored her and simply put her face against her older sister's thigh to not see what the man was doing.

When he found a broken humerus, he already had an answer.

Standing up and handing the bone to Alice so she could defend herself.

Looking at little Sarah, the man spoke...

"My name is Adryan. I would say it's a pleasure to meet you but the situation isn't the best"- he said with a little smirk.

Sarah just nodded her head and now Adryan looked at Alice.

"Tell me, do you know how to swim? Because taking a boat is not an option"-he said with a serious expression, the smirk gone a long time ago.

Alice swallowed to try to wet her dry throat.

"We both know how to swim but I get tired quickly"

While saying that she looks at the group behind her and then looks at Adryan.

"Is there really nothing else you can do?"

"If all they want is a rescue, I'm sorry, but no, that will never come and if we don't get out now, there will be no hope for us"-he said while shaking his head.

Adryan looked at the group and spoke again.

"Listen all of you, once we walk out that door, you will be on your own, there will be no rescue, there will be no miracle to get you out of here" he looked around and no one else who was there dared to look at him in the eyes.

Adryan shook his head and looked at the group who fell silent.

"Then pray to your Gods because no one is going to save you"

When he said that, he turned around and walked up the stairs without looking back.

Alice quickly followed, taking a quick look behind her, she saw that the others had their heads lowered and tears could be seen falling from them.

Seeing Adryan's back again, Alice quickly hugged Sarah tighter and headed up the stairs, leaving behind the other people who began to pray to their respective gods.

When she reached the top of the stairs, Alice saw Adryan with his ear to the door.

Realizing what he was doing, neither Alice nor Sarah made a sound.

After a while, Adryan made an 'Shh' signal and slowly opened the door allowing him to see what was on the other side.

It was a long corridor with candle lamps on the sides.

Opening just enough to get through, Adryan went first and then Alice and Sarah.

There I close the door and seal the fate of all the people down there.

Taking a deep breath, Adryan began to lead the way to the stairs to the next floor.

The ship is divided into five floors with the objective being the third floor...

Keeping close to the walls and trying to make as little noise as possible, the 3 of them began to move between the corridors.

They managed to reach the stairway to the fourth floor and were taken with their first problem.

A guard was sitting on a chair at the top of the fourth floor, luckily he seemed asleep.

Signaling Alice to get ready, Adryan started up the stairs silently with the broken bone in his right hand.

As he went up, Adryan took the opportunity and took a better look at the guard. He was a fat man with a rather strong smell of fish without a shirt and a sailor hat and pants.

Looking at the guard's waist his pupils shrank and he began to move even slower.

He had a revolver in a holster under his left arm.

When Adryan made it to him he raised the broken bone ready to stab the man but his right hand was trembling.

He had never killed anyone, and he had gotten into some serious fights but he had never killed anyone.

Realizing he had no time to hesitate, he closed his heart and prepared to stab the sleeping man.

He raised his right arm and quickly plunged the bone into the man's chest causing him to jerk awake but before he could scream Adryan covered his mouth with his left hand and kept stabbing rapidly into the man's chest as he writhed like crazy...

After the third stab, the man slowly stopped fighting and by the eighth, he was no longer moving.

The guard had a pained expression and his mouth hung slack and dripped with blood.

The guard's empty eyes made Adryan tremble so he closed them with his left hand and quickly removed the man's gun holster.

Turning to face Alice, Adryan asked her if she knew how to use a revolver to which she denied so Adryan would have to be the one to carry it.

Putting the holster along with the gun under his left armpit Adryan quickly searched the body finding twelve bullets and a knife.

Analyzing the surroundings, he saw the man's jacket hanging on a nail, quickly checking it, he found 2 soli and 11 p.

Giving the knife to Alice and the jacket to Sarah..

Quickly Adryan moved the body of the guard and put it behind the stairs in a dark corner.

They couldn't do anything with the blood so all they could do was keep moving.

Moving carefully through the corridors of the fourth floor when they were near the stairs to the third floor they had to stop immediately because just like the entrance to the fourth floor where there was a guard, the entrance to the third floor was also guarded by a guard. ..

The only problem was that he was awake and it was someone Adryan knew...

it was Tames...

It was very lucky that he hadn't seen them yet so they were able to get away in time.

Adryan began trying and quickly think of a plan to get past him but the problem was that he didn't have the confidence to trick him into giving them enough time to go upstairs and light the gunpowder.

So the only way to get through was to kill Tames and Adryan had a few ideas for that.

Looking at Alice and Sarah, Adryan smiled and spoke:

"Let's make a trap"
