"Nice work, John B. You know these things lock from the outside, right?" JJ said.

John B sighed, "Ok I was just trying to get us on the boat, JJ. I wasn't thinking that far ahead."

"Yeah, well now we're stuck in here like rats!" JJ started pacing. "In this death cage!"

"It's hot," Kiara said, taking off her jacket.

Bella held her hand out and he took it, he sighed and leaned against her.

Pope sighed, "Ok, JJ you're not helping."

"You don't have a whole lot of room to talk right now. You said you had a plan, but what happened to thinking ahead?"

Bella took a deep breath in, "Ok, ok. Everyone's getting sick of each other. Let's just sit in silence for a bit maybe?"

"I find your lack of self-knowledge disturbing."

JJ laughs, "Last I checked, you literally shot an oil container with the gat. Remember that?"

"Oh my god! Shut up! Shut up!" Kiara snapped. "Pull it together."

The boys both sigh.

"Okay."

"Let's try to find a way out of here," Pope said.

John B was looking out the vent.

"Hey Pope, how do you kill a snake?" JJ asked.

Pope looked at him, "You go for the head."

"Exactly, but the head in this instance is the bridge. To take the bridge, we need maximum firepower. And I happen to know that there's an armory on this ship in case of pirate attacks."

Kiara rolled her eyes, "Pirate attacks."

"So if we take that- I'm not just talking pistols."

"You lost me." Kiara stood up.

"I'm talking knives."

"Killing everybody here is not a plan."

"Ah, we lost her. I'm serious if we get to the armory, I'm talking AKs, pistols, knives, double-barrels-"

Bella notices Kiara pausing so she stood up and joined her, "What is it Kie?" Kiara points above them. 

"JJ!" John B stopped him. 

"What?"

"We gotta get out of here. We can't do anything if we're still stuck in here."
