Chapter 3: The Rescue

Keith runs off and grabs a pistol from a dead guard then climbs a ladder to get a higher vantage point. He spots Alice fighting and two guards from before dead on the ground. Five pirates with sub machine guns fired at Alice and were closing in on her. Keith took aim then shot two pirates in the head and called out to Alice saying, "Get the life raft, I'll cover you!"

Keith continues to pin down the pirates and Alice, with a surprised face, runs to raft while blind firing. Keith jumps down and runs along with Alice. She says, "How the hell do you two get out of the storage room?!" "That's not important right now, just get to that raft!" Charlie looks outside and shouts, "Run Keith, they're coming!" The pirates were on their way and were shooting at them. Keith and Alice climb in the raft and close the hatch from above. "Get us out of here Charlie!" Charlie pulls down a switch to drop the raft and everyone grabs on to something. Charlie pulls down on the stick shift all the way and makes the submersible dive down.

Alice looks back at the cargo ship, only to see it fall to the bottom of the sea. Her face sinks to sadness as she sits down and crosses her arms. Keith looks through the scope and spots five boats chasing after them. "Are you serious, just what do these guys want with us?!" Keith yells as he searches around the raft to find something useful against the pirates. He notices Alice on the ground and says, "Alice what's wrong, what are you doing?" She doesn't say anything and looks away from Keith. "Look, I don't know what's going on, but right now if we're going to get out of this situation, we need to work together. So come on, help me out here."

   Then Alice looked back at Keith and said, "Ok...what do I have to do?" "Is there anything useful in here we could use against these pirates?" Both Keith and Alice search throughout the raft as Charlie continues to drive. "Whatever you two are planning back there, make it fast because they're right at our tail!" The pirates were coming in close enough within shooting range. They start shooting at the submersible's engine to slow it down. Finally, Alice finds a China lake grenade launcher while Kieth finds a machine gun. He climbs up top and aim down at boats and Keith says, "Hey, jackasses! Have some of this!" Keith shoots at the boats with such precision. As one by one, the boats were easily destroyed.

   Then Charlie said, "Sounds like all the shooting caught more attention, we got more incoming." Three more boats were on they're way with machine guns as well. "Alice, you're up!" As Keith shouts and jumps down, Alice climbs up at fires directly at the boats with a lot of firepower. At last, they were not be pursued by anyone and escaped the battle. "Oh my god...that was exhausting." Said Charlie.

"You're telling me...geez...who exactly were those guys? And why come after us?" Keith said. "Right now we should be worried about where to go next. I assume you two have someplace to go?" Alice said. Both Keith and Charlie look at each other and whisper in private. Charlie says, "Can we really trust her? I mean, she did lock us up." "I know she did, but she did prove herself useful...she also owes us one for saving her." "If you say Keith...just try not to fall for her..." "What are you talking about? I'm not like that..." "Sure...yeah, whatever..." "Shut up Charlie."

   "Hello?" Asked Alice impatiently. Then Kieth said, "Oh right...well we decided we're bringing you can either leave when we reach land... or come along with us...but only if you want to. We are gonna bring these bags to our client who is paying us a lot of cash. If you don't try anything...we'll consider sharing with you an even amount." Alice stared at Keith's eyes, sighed, and said, "All right then...I'll come along with you and your friend, but don't get any ideas." Keith and Charlie looked at each other and then separated.

Keith followed Alice in the back which she continued to show signs of sadness. Keith asks, "Hey, what's wrong? You were like this when those pirates were chasing us." Alice looks away from Keith and says, "Why does it matter to you? Why do you care?" Keith sighs and sits right next to Alice. She doesn't show any sign of being uncomfortable or aggressive but just stays quiet. "Is it something that has to do with the cargo ship?" Keith asks. "Did you forget something that was important to you?" Alice looks at Keith slowly and finally responded saying, "Yeah... I did... my mother's locket... it was something she gave me before she disappeared when I was little. It was something to remind me of her. But now it's gone..."

Kieth listens to Alice and remembers grabbing a gold locket. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out the locket. "Is this it?" Kieth says as he shows it to Alice who wears a surprised face. She slowly grabs the locket while looking at Keith and says, "...Thank you so much..." Keith nods his head and says, "You're welcome." Keith stands up and goes to Charlie, where they discuss their destination to the client.
