Y/N's POV

Olson goes back up with Danny to steer the boat after questioning us, leaving the five of us to be watched over by Junior. 

Julia tends to Conrad's wounds as Fliss tends to mine, Alex checking the both of us over.

"You're lucky," Alex tells Conrad. "The bullet just missed an artery."

Conrad just sputters in pain as his sister wipes off the wounds on his face.

Alex moves over to me, examining my shoulder. "The bullet just grazed your shoulder. Your shoulder is going to hurt when you use it, but the wound has stopped bleeding so you'll be alright."

I smile. "Thanks, Alex."

He returns my smile. "You're welcome."

The pain is too much to bear, so once Alex goes back to his seat, I lean my head back and close my eyes.

I hear Conrad groan in pain again so I crack open an eyelid and take his hand, squeezing it in mine before closing my eyes again. I feel Conrad weakly squeeze my hand back in return.

"It's going to be alright, Connie," I hear Julia soothe.

"Alright! Shut up!" Junior shouts, making me open my eyes.

Him yelling makes me nervous. He is the one with the gun, after all.

"There's no harm in just talking," Fliss tries to reassure Junior.

"You wanna talk? Keep the volume down."

"You know what? I'm just going to say it. Fliss has to be in on this," Alex accuses. "She and these guys, they travel in the same waters. She's the captain and they've barely laid a hand on her!? I bet she told them about the Manchurian gold. They're in cahoots!"

"I can't believe what I'm hearing!" Fliss yells back. "I just lost everything I have! My best friend is seriously injured! And this is what you think!? Y/N and I are partners. If I was in on this, don't you think she would be too? And look at her! They've certainly laid a hand on her! Many!"

"You're all in this together!" Alex snarls. "This is a trap and you set us up!"

"Hey! Put a cork in it!" Junior orders.

Fliss joins me in glaring at Alex intensely. I can even spot Conrad sending angry glances Alex's way every once in a while.

But then a big wave smashes into the boat and makes it tip. 

Fliss and I aren't able to grab onto something in time so we go tumbling to the floor.

Conrad notices and bends over in his seat, reaching for my hand to help me up, but he stops midway and just winces in pain.

"I'm alright. I'm alright," I assure him, slowly standing up and helping Fliss up with the arm that isn't attached to my injured shoulder.

I sit back down in my seat and Fliss sits down next to me in hers. I just rest my hand on Conrad's knee so that I don't hurt him but he knows I'm doing alright.

"Sit still. All of ya," Junior orders.

I look over as Olson peeks down at us, pointing to Fliss and me.
