<i>"Well, let's go find your sister." Michael said, shifting Conrad's arm across his shoulder to help him walk. </i>

As best as he could, Chris wrapped the strip around his wound, then laid his hand on Lee's shoulder and said quietly
"Lets find your brother now. Always hope for the best, yet now I fear the worst.."

Lee thanked him. "You don't have to do this for me, sir." She said.

Conrad tried not to put all his weight on Micheal's shoulders, but it was really hard to walk. "Thank you." He muttered, then asked, "Your family, if I may ask?"

"Your duty? I've never even met you before...you owe me nothing! I owe you my life!" Lee said.

"Listen.."Chris kneeled in oder to look in Lee's eyes. "We owe each other nothing yet I have alot to make up for.." he paused for a second then continued, "Where have you lost your brother?"

<i>"Your family?" Conrad asked Michael. The man hesitated a second before replying softly, "No family. Not close, anyway." He continued to help Conrad walk. "Where did you last see your sister?"</i>

Both Lee and Conrad had no answer for wither man helping them.

"Come,"Chris continued "Lets try here.." He gestured to a hallway to their right side and with difficulty made his way out of the ballroom.
He tried to remember where the corridor would lead to, but his headache prevented him from being able to concentrate. A few moments later, he recognised it: "This is leading toward the kitchens.."

<i>Michael helped Conrad down a hallway. "We'll check in the ballroom." he said, trying not to think of the wreckage they would find there.</i>

(and they run into each other! lol)

Lee smiled and nodded, following him.

Conrad was thanful to get away from the bodies as they left the kitchen.

(yep! lol)

<i>Michael stepped carefully around a broken light fixture. "Don't you worry, we'll find her." he said to Conrad, trying to cover the faint noise of screams and the ship's creaking. </i>

As they walked down the hallway, carefully stepping over bodies orcrashed furnature, Chris saw two figures stumbling at the end of the corridor.
"More survivors.."he mumbled and it seemed as his voice was trembling.

<i>At the end of the hallway, Michael saw 2 people walking towards them. He felt a sudden sense of relief knowing that he and Conrad weren't the only ones left on the ship able to move.</i>

Lee saw an fimilar face among the two newcomers and grinned, running over to him. Conrad, dispite his legs, caught her as she enbraced him and hugged her tightly, so glad she was alive.

Chris smiled a little and nodded to the young men, of whom one was apparently the brother of Lee.
