Jimmy was phasing back and forth.

"We are losing food and the ship had little improvement, what are we supposed to do?" He mumbled, left palm in his lips while trying to brainstorm excessively for a solution.

Anya, Daisuke, and Swansea were seated at the kitchen table while watching the troubled Jimmy. They are called earlier about a meeting Jimmy had created this very evening.

"It's been a month in a half, I don't know if the food will last for all of us in weeks or so..." Jimmy added.

Anya sat while gently caressing her stomach - trying to calm herself down, Daisuke slumped lazily, and Swansea had his natural crossed arms.

Jimmy seated back and regarded each of them with an expected expression as if the answers were in their hands. But to no avail, no one suggested anything. It even pisses him off when Daisuke yawns.

"I agree," Anya finally got the courage to speak, however, she avoided Jimmy's gaze, "the kitchen food is halfway empty. It looks like someone has been sneaking out the food over this week"

"Tsk!" Jimmy cursed. It's not just the food that has been slowly missing, but also the majority of the needed necessities, like a box of soap, medicine, clothing, etc...

He hadn't figured out who was responsible for it but he had a suspicion about Daisuke since Jimmy thinks his a mindless fool.

Another problem that has recently been arising is that of Curly recovery. It's only a matter of time before Curly finally heals his throat for him to finally speak, and if that happens, words of Jimmy's bad doing will spill.

Jimmy was in a dead end. He was in a situation where his in an infinite wide of thin ice - no way he could get out.

"Where the hell is (N/N)?" Jimmy demanded, voice raising.

"She said that she was making something, I don't know what it is but she said it's a surprise for us," Daisuke said with a smile, "I can't wait for it"

'Surprise?' Jimmy thought, 'it's probably just another stupid invention of hers'

A couple of moments later, (Y/N) enters the side corridor while holding a tray with 4 different types of glass. Each contains liquid with the same colourful blue and green substance as well as a small umbrella sticking at the side of it.

"Sorry I'm late" (Y/N) ran towards them and put the tray on the table while gasping for air, "I made this for all of you guys. I hope you like it" She knelt on the floor, obviously tired.

Jimmy's eye twitched in bafflement, though the crew was astonished.

"What's the event? Is it my birthday?" Swansea grunted with a smile.

"That's liquor?! If so, I guess I could try one, I haven't tasted one before" Daisuke gleamed at the scenery of the colourful beverage though he tried to resist the urge to snatch one, but to everyone's surprise - Swansea was first to grab a glass.

Anya followed. Daisuke was hesitant but he decided to go with it anyway. His hands reach one but before Daisuke grab the handle, (Y/N) immediately grabs his wrist - stopping him.

"M-Maybe you should try this instead, it's the least alcoholic one" (Y/N) awkwardly grabbed another cup and handed it to Daisuke. Daisuke didn't question her and gulped down the content with pure satisfaction.

Anya sipped into her cup and praised how sweet it was.

It made (Y/N) bashfully scratch the back of her head. The four of them chatted without a care of the world, behind her, however, was Jimmy looking at them with a flaring nose.

🧪☣️☠️⚗️🤢

The danger was apparent, yet, why are they acting that the possibility of a threat didn't exist?!

I watched the four of them with my hands clutched so tightly it made my palm bleed. Are they making fun of me?

(N/N) grab the last cup and handed it to me with a gentle smile "This one is specifically for you, Jimmy-"

I slap the cup away. It shatters from the floor, spilling the content on the carpet. The crew immediately stopped their chitchat, but I couldn't care less.

I grap (N/N)'s collar, forcing her to look at my eyes and said, "Are you fucking dumb?! You're making our situation less serious!" My voice raised.

Swansea stood up and pushed me away from her. I didn't expect the force would make me drop from the ground, Swansea have the strength of a tank.

"Don't you dare touch her" Swansea shielded (N/N) between us. Anya and Daisuke went close to (N/N), but even so, (N/N) had this nervous tension directed to the shattered cup sprawled on the ground.

I slowly stood up and greeted my teeth. I know I have no match to Swansea... if only... I slowly reach for the gun inside my pocket and-

Swansea fell unconscious on the floor.

I was frozen for a moment, I didn't even point my pistol at him yet "What the-"

In a split second, Anya and Daisuke fell on the floor as well. Daisuke's cup shatters as it hits the metal floor.

Both me and (N/N) stand still. I don't know what was going on, I presumed either one of us would fall but we didn't.

I glanced at the unconscious crew and felt a nervous wreck. Are they dead? Fuck! How did something like this happen?! The drinks... She's trying to poison us!

"You! What the fuck did you do?!" I swept my gun and pointed it towards (N/N). My breath became heavy and my hands trembling.

(N/N) sigh...

In a blink of an eye, (N/N) dashes forward. My eyes widen, I didn't expect that she would do such a thing.

She tackles me on the ground, the gun sliding away on the floor - away from my reach as we both fell on the floor. I was slow to react. How couldn't I? This bitch just slaughtered the crew!

(N/N) punch me in the face breaking my nose. I felt dazed my view became a blur. She then stood up and grabbed the gun before running towards the main corridor.

I slowly stand up. (N/N) figure vanishes when the main corridor slide closes. Blood starts to slide from my nose.

"I'm gonna fucking kill you!" With that declaration, I wipe my bleeding nose and grab a knife from the kitchen.
