Chapter 7 - A Fight on the Deck

Sarah realized she could not stay in the security room forever. The ship was currently navigating through a patch of rough ocean. She decided to lure the remaining guards to the open upper deck. She used the public address system to page Mark to the pool area. She knew the mercenaries would rush there to find their missing boss. She left the security hub and climbed the stairs to the top level. The wind was howling and the sky had turned a dark grey. Rain began to fall and slicked the wooden planks of the deck. Sarah hid behind the massive water slide and waited patiently. The door burst open and the last two armed men ran outside. They looked around aggressively with their weapons drawn. The rain made it difficult for them to see clearly in the darkness. Sarah moved silently like a ghost in the stormy shadows. She took careful aim and shot the first man in the leg. He fell to the wet deck screaming in immense pain. The final guard spun around and fired wildly into the dark.
