Cleo follows close behind Charlotte and Pope as they climb up the ladder.

"Hey. Put your hands behind your back." Cleo whispers before taking their hands in hers, "Follow my lead."

"Okay." Pope says as Cleo looks to Charlotte who nods.

"Trust me?" Cleo says and they nod to her, "Okay."

"Hey, Eberhimi, I got them." Cleo says as they walk into the room, "I got the stowaways."

"You picked the wrong boat." Eberhimi says. Charlotte looks down at the man's hand. Her breathing picks up at the knife he's holding, "I wanna talk about what you're doing here before I throw you overboard."

Charlotte and Pope feel Cleo's grip loosen as Eberhimi walks closer.

"Go." Cleo says as she lets them go

Pope grunts as he throws a punch at Eberhimi. Charlotte throws one of her own as Pope tackles the man to the ground. He continues to throw punches as Charlotte turns. She hears another set of footsteps coming up the ladder.

"The hell is going on?" The man says. Charlotte wastes no time in kneeing the man in his stomach as Cleo comes over with a dagger. She punches the man and places the dagger at his neck.

"Stop!"

"Come on. Let's tie them up." Pope says

"On the ground." Cleo says as she tosses the man next to Eberhimi

"Attention, all passengers and crew. Report to the tween forward hull." Eberhimi grunts as Cleo hits his side

"It's an order." Order them." Pope says as he holds the intercom up to him

•••

"Attention, all passengers, all crew, report to the tween forward hull. That's an order. Repeat. All hands and all passengers report to the tween forward hull immediately."

"They took the bridge." John B says as Estrella smiles

"That's our boy." JJ says as he and John B take the grate off, "Once they're all in the hull, Kie, Estrella, and I will lock them inside."

"I'll find Sarah and get the lifeboat." John B says

"We'll meet you, load the cross and get outta here." Kie nods

"Okay. Let's roll." JJ says before poking his head out of the window. He then climbs with John B following right behind him. Kie turns and slides out after him. Estrella takes a deep breath before climbing out herself. All four of them watching their backs as they run around the container they were in.

Kie, Estrella, and JJ make their way into the forward hull while John B runs off to find Sarah. They hear the crew walking past to enter the room as they hide off to the side.

"Psst. How many?" JJ whispers. Estrella and Kie hold up a three.

"It's got something to do with that cross. I'm telling you, it's cursed. We're making God angry."

JJ holds up six fingers as more crew members pass by.

"Where's cap? Didn't he call us down here?"

"Yeah."

"What's going on?"

"Waiting for the captain."

"He's supposed to be down here."

Estrella holds up four as a crew member, Rafe, Wheezie, and Rose pass by.

•••

"Tell them to stay there until further notice." Cleo says holding the microphone up to Eberhimi

The man grunts as he knocks the knife out of her hand. Eberhimi slams Pope down and chokes him. Charlotte knees him in his side sending the man down. She grabs his throat and hits him over the head.

"Let's go." Cleo says as Charlotte stands

"Tie his legs." Pope pants as Cleo gets down to tie him up, "You don't move. I'm going to the crane. Meet me there."

•••

"That's all of the crew." Kie whispers

"Except Ward. We need Ward." JJ says

Estrella shakes her head, "We can't wait."

JJ huffs before nodding his head to the door. Kie runs out first before JJ and Estrella follow close behind her. Kie slams the door shut which alerts the crew. Estrella and Kie try to push it closed against them, but struggle. JJ quickly comes up behind Estrella to shove it closed.

"Close it! Close it!" JJ yells. Estrella grunts as she pushes the lock

"I'm trying!" She groans

"Lock it." Kie says. JJ reaches around Estrella and pushes the lock down.

"Check the other door!"

"Jay, there's another door!" Estrella yells, "There's another door! There's another door!"

All three of them rush over to the other side. JJ makes it first, slamming the door shut as a crew member just barely makes it. Kie and Estrella come up behind him and hold it closed as JJ locks it.

•••

Cleo grunts as she kicks the man's leg to the side, "Bastard."

"I should've known never to hire you." Eberhimi says as the two girls walk up to the control panel

"Yeah, well, no refunds." Cleo says as she turns the engine off. Charlotte follows her out to meet Pope at the crane.

•••

JJ jumps down from the ladder first, "Time to jack this loot."

"Yep." Kie says jumping down after Estrella

"Here she is." JJ says uncovering a box. Both girls pulling the blanket to reveal the cross

"Surf trip." JJ says before he and Estrella do the Pogue handshake. Kie had no time to ask what they meant as metal clanks and the cover above the opens. Estrella smiles wide as Pope stands above them.

"Whoo!" JJ cheers, "That's what I'm talking about! Let's go!"

"The time where people do shit to us and we just sit back and take it is over." Pope says

"Whoo! That's my boy!" JJ yells, "Let's get this done, baby!"

"Hell yeah!" Estrella says as Kie laughs

"Whoo!" JJ cheers as Pope runs off to the crane.

"Here, let's tie it up." Kie says handing a rope to JJ. The three work together to tie the cross up right before Pope lowers the crane down to them. JJ reaches up and secures the crane before they all back away.

"Take her up, Pope." JJ yells

"Okay." Pope says before the crane begins to rise.

"Slow. Slowly!" Estrella yells

"Bring her in to the middle." JJ yells as he tries to guide the cross

"Okay. That's good. That's good." Kie says

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" JJ yells as the rope pulls him forward

"No! Too far! It's too far! Pope!" Estrella yells as the cross knocks tubing over

"Sorry! My bad!" Pope yells

"Your other middle!" Estrella and Kie yell in unison

"Hey!" Cleo yells as she and Charlotte run over

"Hey."

"Send it up, Pope. You got it." Charlotte says as the cross comes into view

"Did John B get the lifeboat?" Pope asks

"I don't see him." Cleo says as she and Charlotte look around

"Where's Sarah?"

"Hurry!" Charlotte yells

"Come on now. Nice and easy. Right there. Okay." JJ says finally releasing the rope as Pope pulls the cross up

"All right." Kie says

"There it is. Yeah." JJ says before turning to the girls, "Let's go help John B load it up
on the lifeboat."
