BRADDON
We're perfectly safe in here.
(to Jett)
We watched him strike that glass twenty times last night--not even a scratch in the glass.
JETT
You saw him? The vampire?
SHELLY
(nods)
Well--a little. It was dark out there. He must've destroyed the lights just outside.
RITA
Human looking. I couldn't see the fangs, but definitely a man.
Shelly and Rita get up and walk away while talking softly. Braddon sits on the press near her. Jett stares out the window a moment longer.
JETT
I can't believe there's no way off this ship.
BRADDON
Trust me--we checked. All of the lifeboats and rafts are gone. Every form of
communication has been destroyed. Our best chance is to remain here. We can
see help arriving. We have flares, weapons, food, water, entertainment--
(smiles)
We're pretty much set for a few weeks. Nothing to worry about. Collin will try
to upset you with his horror stories, but you'll see there's little fear during the day,
and at night, he can't get to us.
We hear a crash, followed by Shelly's scream. Jett and Braddon bolt up from their seat and run for the lounge.
INT. LOUNGE
We see the elegant bar setting with sofas and coffee tables. Davis and Max stand five feet apart with Rob in the middle. Max is bleeding from the corner of his mouth. Both men appear pissed. Rob attempts to calm Max. Neither appear to relax. Davis suddenly tosses Rob aside and swings at Max. Max blocks his punch and strikes him in the face. Braddon runs for Davis and keeps him from returning fire. Jett darts in front of Max and places a hand on his right, lower arm. Max looks to Jett and relaxes, though he casts a stray glare at Davis. Max leaves the room, into the gym. Jett quickly follows him.
INT. GYM
Jett follows Max to the glass windows in the sunlight. Max stares out the window. Jett leans her back against the glass.
JETT
Are you okay?
MAX
(doesn't look)
Yeah--I'm fine.
JETT
What started that?
MAX
(frowns)
He was being a prick. I more or less told him to fuck off.
JETT
(sighs)
This could be a very tense situation. Maybe you should avoid him.
MAX
(frowns)
Maybe I need to leave.
JETT
(touches his arm)
No, you can't leave.
(lowers her hand)
We need you--I need you.
Max slowly turns to face her and smiles gently.
MAX
I told you I wouldn�t abandon you.
JETT
I feel very safe and comfortable around you, Max.
Max stares at her a moment then pulls her into his arms and holds her. Jett returns the warm embrace then pulls back enough to meet his gaze. Max gently touches her face then follows through by lowering his mouth to hers. He gently kisses her on the lips. Max slowly pulls back and meets her gaze. Jett smiles and runs her hands up his chest and clings to his neck with a childish smile.
JETT
(soft sigh)
Oh, Max--
