In a post-apocalyptic flooded world, the last remaining humans live on large Navy aircraft carriers huddled together forming a city. The richest people enslaved and oppressed the rest of the masses to maintain total control and power.

ONE MONTH AND A HALF LATER, Rafael arrived at his and Julieta's home at night after work.
He went into the bedroom and saw his 2 twin babies asleep in cribs.
The boy's name was Alex and the girl's name was Ana.
They had black hair like their Mother.
Alex had brown eyes and Ana had blue eyes.
Rafael looked around but he did not see Julieta in the bedroom.
Julieta was gone.
Rafael suddenly realized where Julieta went and sprinted out of the house.
Julieta hid behind the hospital building with a gun and waited for the Male Nurse who drugged her to come out.
Then she saw him walk out and got ready to go and kill him.
She started walking up behind him as he walked away and then suddenly, Rafael grabbed her from behind and stopped her.
He took the gun from her.
Julieta was furious and punched him.
She kicked him and slapped him.
Julieta started crying.
Rafael held and hugged her tightly until she stopped hitting him.
Julieta still livid said—
—"¡¿Porque me detuviste?!" (Why'd you stop me?!)
"Porque ellos te matarán." (Because they'll kill you.)
"¡Déjame morir entonces!" (Just let me die then!)
"No. I won't." said Rafael comforting her.
"I can't! I can't take it anymore! I wanna die! I can't do this anymore!" cried Julieta.
"Yes you can! You're strong!"
"No I'm not!" cried Julieta.
"Yes you are! You're the strongest person I know. I've seen it. That's why I love you."
Julieta cried and started calming down. Then she said—
—"I hate him. What am I supposed to do?"
"You need to forgive him." said Rafael.
"I don't want to forgive him."
"I know it's hard. But think about Jesus on the cross and how he forgave them. Ask for his help and he will help you."
Julieta cried softly thinking that Rafael was right.
"Let's go home." said Rafael.
Then Rafael and Julieta went home.
MEANWHILE, IT WAS PAST MIDNIGHT ON A DESERTED AIRCRAFT CARRIER.
The Black Market Vendor, a Man in his mid 40s stood in an alley behind a building waiting for someone.
Then a Man who wore a mask and hood, approached the Black Market Vendor from the other end of the alley.
The Black Market Vendor took out a bundle of cash from his pocket and handed it to the Masked Man.
The Masked Man counted the money and put it into his trench coat.
The Masked Man reached into his other pocket and took out a Handgun.
The Masked Man handed the Black Market Vendor the handgun and the Vendor quickly walked away.
The Masked Man went away and out of the alley.
MEANWHILE, Rafael walked home after work at night.
He got to the house at the end of the ship and went inside.
He went inside his bedroom where his wife Julieta and babies Alex and Ana were sleeping.
He looked at his babies and kissed their heads.
Rafael laid down beside Julieta, kissed her head and went to sleep.
EARLY THE NEXT MORNING, Rafael laid awake in his bed.
He got up and went outside his house.
Rafael walked out to the ship's edge with Julieta's Rosary.
He sat down on the edge and prayed as he watched the sunrise.
THE NEXT DAY, Rafael and Julieta went to Church and baptized their babies.
A FEW DAYS LATER, Adriana started to get severe contractions and she realized that the baby was coming.
Rafael and Julieta helped to take Adriana to the hospital delivery room.
Adriana gave birth to a boy and she named him Leonardo (Leo) after her father.
Rafael and Julieta held Leo with tears of joy in their eyes.
Julieta felt the love Adriana had for Leo and was overcome with emotion and love for her family.
As time went on, Julieta started to stop feeling angry and sad about what the Male Nurse did to her and with God's help she was able to forgive the Male Nurse and she began to feel hopeful for the future.
THE NEXT NIGHT, Rafael walked home after work.
As he walked home, he heard gunshots far off in the distance.
POP! POP! POP! POP! POP!
He looked over in the direction of the gunshots looking surprised and kept walking home.
Rafael got back to his house and opened the front door to go inside.
MEANWHILE, THAT SAME NIGHT, two Police Officers went inside a house investigating the gunshots that happened.
The two Police Officers were Detective Roger Waters and Captain Nick Mason.
They were British.
Detective Waters was a white Man in his mid 20s, he had light brown hair and blue eyes and he was shorter than Captain Mason.
Captain Mason was a white Man in his mid 20s, who had brown hair and brown eyes.
As they walked inside the house, they saw dead bloody bodies on the floor.
Then they saw a Handgun in the hand of one of the dead bodies.
Detective Waters picked up the handgun and examined it.
Captain Mason walked up to Detective Waters who was looking at the gun and said with a British accent—
—"Is that one of ahs?"
"No." said Detective Waters.
"Where could he have possibly got it from then?" asked Mason.
Detective Waters was excited by the challenge and said—
