Chapter 15

Someone screamed, and Grant stiffened. This was going to be a long fucking day. He peeked out to find the gunmen herding everyone toward the exit. People were scrambling. Some of them were barely able to walk.

Did these fuckers not realize how many people on this ship were wheelchair bound or had walkers? Granted, they didn’t give a single fuck. They were ruthless. They’d proven that when they killed everyone on the dock along the lock in cold blood.

“Do we keep hiding? Join the others as if we’re regular passengers? Or try to make our way behind the scenes?” Grant asked the other two. He cared about their opinions. It didn’t matter what they chose, they would eventually do what needed to be done. Mostly he wanted to see how Callie felt about their predicament.

“Behind the scenes,” she responded without hesitation.

At that moment, the sound of the captain coming through the speakers made Grant take notice.

“Hello, everyone. This is Captain Philips speaking from the bridge. As I’m sure you’ve noticed, the ship has been boarded by the Chinese military.” It was impressive how calm the captain sounded. “Please try to remain calm and make your way to the theater at the front of the ship. It can be reached on decks six and seven. I repeat, you must make your way to the theater immediately. Please try to help those passengers who need assistance or ask a steward to assist you. All passengers and staff must go to the theater.”

Grant cringed.

Callie took a deep breath. “It’s the pictures. They’re making the Chinese look bad.”

Holden gave a dry chuckle and muttered, “As if they didn’t look bad without the video evidence.”

“No one can take pictures from the theater,” Callie pointed out. “I’m sure they will collect phones on the way in.”

“It’s a little late for that,” Grant grumbled, though he suspected the Chinese didn’t care how late it was. They were on a mission: damage control.

Holden met his gaze. “We need to split up, sweep the floor.” He pulled his phone out of its hiding place and started texting. Grant knew he would be shooting off messages to Keene and Tavis to see where they were and make sure the four of them were on the same page.

This was no longer a casual vacation. This was a mission. Not one they would be getting paid for, but a mission nonetheless. Once a SEAL, always a SEAL. No way would Grant or any of his friends ignore this problem and flock to the theater with the rest of the passengers. They would rise to the challenge and figure out a way out of this mess.

“Can you grab that house phone for me again,” Callie asked, nodding toward the cord.

Luckily, the noise level on the deck was dwindling, a sure sign the Chinese were pressing the people toward the front of the ship and leaving the deck vacated—as far as they knew.

Grant reached up and snagged the phone, handing it to Callie. It would be best to let her continue to be the contact with the justice.
