Jessica and Parker watch them leave, Jessica sighs to herself "He never got the hint. What a drag." she pouts, Parker smirks at her, "Maybe he's already taken, Jessica." he guesses. She shot a glare at him and glares back at the three.

Then scoffs and looks at her gun, "Yeah, sure. Can we get started already?" she asks him, then walks to the escalator, Parker turns to her. "Sure. We've been through hell before. It's nothing new for us." he states and followed her, "Yeah. Just like old times. The good old FBC." she states, walking up the stairs, Parker stops for a moment and looks at Raymond, he frowns and continue forward. Unknown to them as they were leaving, Raymond's hand twitched.

~8~8~8~

They stood in a hall as they look down each end, "So, what's the plan?" Jessica asks him. "Get to the bridge, activate the bulwarks, and pray the ship stops sinking," he answers and they walk down a hall. "Now that the power's back on, we should be able to access the maintenance system," he states and Jessica stops, making him stop as well. "OK. We should split up then," she tells him. He looks at her, "There's something I need to check on first." she answers him.

He sighs and nods at her, "OK, fine. I'll see you on the bridge." he tells her and she walks down the other hallway. 

He ran into the lounge and to the door. It opens for him and he walks inside. Then waited as the elevator room went down and then the doors open, he walks out of the room, through the door, and down the hall. 

O'Brian here. 

O'Brian said on the comms. 

Did Raymond tell you everything? 

He asks him as Parker walks through a door. "Yeah, he told me, boss," Parker answers him. 

Then you know what you have to do, O'Brian out. 

He said and hung up the call as Parker fires at the hunters, "Yeah, boss... I do..." Parker mutters to himself, killing the hunters and continued forward, only to run into more hunters and B.O.Ws, he fires at them. 

Taking them down, one by one. "Damn, it's a new type. Always showing up at the worst times," he complains, taking the knight down and hurried to the door. He walks through them, but more hunters and a knight stood in his way, so he fires at them, throwing a grenade at them.

Finishing them off and walks to the elevator, it opens and he walks inside, then the doors close and he went up to the bridge. 

Parker, where are you?

Jessica asks as she was on the comms "I'm almost at the bridge." he answers her. 

I'm already here. I'm going to start lowering the bulwarks. 

She informs him. "That was fast," Parker said. 

You're just slow. And you owe me another dinner. 

She informs him, "That reminds me, I never got you that drink. That was a year ago." he chuckles to himself. 

That's fine. You can make it all up to me in one big spending spree. 

She jokes. "Heh. OK, fine. Just sit tight and I'll be there soon." he informs her and ended the call, so he waited.

Then the doors finally open and he walks down the halls and through the door, finding Jessica at the panel, working away. He quietly walks down the steps and stood behind her, "Hold it right there." he orders with a gun aimed right at her.
