"Great party! Couldn'ta done it without ya!" says T.J. I look around to find myself on the boat... but it's been sized down a bit... more of a yacht now than anything... and all these people! Where'd all these people come from? "That's why he's my buddy!" I hear Dawn's voice over my shoulder. Oh yeah... she wanted a party boat. That's why she had Sarge check some out for her. "Hey, I just did what I could, ya know?" I say, trying not to sound too confused. T.J. nods in agreement and takes off to join the festivities. "Come on, let me give you the grand tour!" Dawn exclaims. Not knowing what else to do, I go along with it. She procedes to show me various game rooms and lounges, most of which are occupied by random party-goers. I'm vaguely listening as she rattles off names and things to do, not out of boredom, but trying to figure out why I'm on a boat a friend from high school bought and invited ME to come party on. She finishes the tour somewhere deep inside the ship. "Last stop, Aaron's 'getaway'" She says, giggling. She now has my attention. "Aaron?!?" I nearly choked on the name. "Yeah, for those people who don't want to socialize with everyone topside, they can come to Aaron's room down here." "... Aaron?" "Um... yeah. What, you don't like Aaron?" She smiles."Well, no... I mean yeah... er... wait..." I stammer as I try to explain what I know has already happened. Next thing I know, Aaron pokes his head out of the door followed by a wave of thick smoke. "Heya Dawn, what's going on out here?" I'm frozen in place. Am I going crazy? I thought he was in jail or something somewhere! "Nothing much, just giving Wes here the tour." she says cheerfully. "HEY!!! Wes, dude! I haven't seen you in a couple years, man! What's been up?" "Uh... not... much?" "Hey, don't sound too excited about it!" Aaron is apparently unfazed by our meeting. "Hey, I need to get some air... Dawn, can I talk with you for a moment?" I say, trying to be as nonchalant as possible. "Sure thing... Later Aaron!! She says as we make our way back up... huh... these corridors seem familiar... really familiar... "Holy crap! I've been here before!" "Uh... yeah? You helped pick the boat out, silly!" I nearly jumped, as I had forgotten Dawn was right behind me. "Hurry, lets go!" I say as I race up the steps. Upon reaching the deck, she starts a conversation about her daughter. Not wanting to be rude, I decide to let her finish before telling her what I know. Suddenly, the boat veers in a sharp U-turn, slamming us against the deck. "Someone's at the controls!" I don't know if I said it or she did... but we were heading straight for a cliff. We had to move right this second! I start to head towards the command tower, but I could tell it was already too late. In a last ditch effort to do something... anything... I look as hard as I can at the tower, trying to see who's steering this damn thing. Just as we slam into the rock face... I see him. Aaron. The original crew were already dead, thrown up against the glass for anyone to see... his friends all laughing maniacally with him as the ship shudders and crumples. I pull my phone out to dial 911, but some rocks that were knocked loose in the crash fell all around, one of which stuck me in the head. I was out.

            The call must've gone through, because the next thing I remember is sitting in a precinct, surrounded by cops. Almost everyone died in the crash, Dawn included. I was miffed. No, I was downright pissed off... "Those bastards will pay." I start repeating to myself. I should've known they were up to no good. I should have seen this coming... and I didn't do anything to stop it! I hear them start talking about a plan... something involving tactical gear and needing to know the layout of the refurbished boat. They needed to pick someone to go in. They point out some guy who looks a little shakey, and I decide it's up to me... "No, I'll do it. I know what to do and where to go. Besides... I feel responsible..." I said. They nodded in agreement and gave me the equipment I would need... I already know how this plays out...
