<div align="center"><strong>-=Griffin Kingston - Lower deck hallway - Aiming gun into state room 2 - Calling for show of hands - Surprised from behind by buxom beauty=-</strong></div><br/>His focus was razor sharp as he stared down the barrel of his Colt. 45 DX pistol, pointed cautiously into the darkness of stateroom number 2. The door was open and he could see the booted feet of who he assumed to be Mae's crumpled attacker in the door way of the bedroom deeper inside the state room. As  imposing and threatening a sight as Griff could be, if not for the hateful scowl on his face for the knowledge of what had happened to Mae, he was anything<em>but</em>imposing at the moment. His body was wet and glistening in the dim light of the narrow hallway, suds slowly crawling down his body, succumbing to the forces of the the ship's artificial gravity. Still, he was incensed at what had happened to Mae, his anger over the situation with Si and the tension between he and Sasha only serving to magnify those intense feelings by Mae's attack.<br/><br/>Waiting for the mystery woman to show herself, Griff's focus precluded him noticing the curvy figure that stood in the doorway of state room one. A feminine sigh caught his attention and he whirred the gun towards the source. He was momentarily taken aback by the image that met him. She was an attractive young woman with ample curves in all the right places, covered by a sheet and wearing ...<em>"are those Hayes's boots?"</em>What caught him most by surprise was her confident, almost flirty presence as she leaned in the doorway, leaning towards him just so and causing those ample swells of her breasts to tighten along the front of that sheet. Her question gave him pause as he looked to the straining sheet about her chest again.<em>No, remove that sheet and let me see that you're not carrying a weapon. No, wait.... Mae said this woman saved her from her attacker.</em><br/><br/>His suspicions of her were growing by the second. Sure, she looked harmless enough... and Mae had said a woman had saved her. But was it this woman? How many other people were on his boat that he didn't know about. Were his two prisoners still secured? He would have to look into that and very soon.<strong>"You think this is fucking game? Hmm?"</strong>He was in no mood to be toyed with and his scowl deepened at her seemingly playful demeanor.<strong>"Mind telling me who you are and what the <em><strong>fuck</strong></em> you're doing on my goddamn boat? And get your ass out here where I can see you. Now!"</strong>He waved the pistol from her towards state room two.<strong>"Get the fuck in there,"</strong>he growled, grabbing her upper arm and pulling her towards him irritably.<strong>"I don't like surprises, so you'd better start making a lot of sense real soon, or I'm gonna have to jettison some dead weight."</strong><br/><br/><br/><br/>
