Key to escape

"I swear if this works..." Caroline muttered to herself as she pulled the key out of her bikini top and walked towards the door. She nervously placed the key into the keyhole and turned...

*Click*

The door unlocked as Caroline pushed it open, looking around for something that could help her open the door to the radio room.

An axe? "No. Too primitive."

A blowtorch? "I'm not wearing real clothes, much less the right protective gear to handle that."

A hook on the wall that had a key with a label that read 'Key to Emergency Radio Room'? "No, I -"

Wait, what?

Caroline blinked a few times before her hand met her forehead, sliding down her face as she groaned in annoyance. Grabbing the key, the woman placed it into her fur bikini top and turned back around to walk out the door.

"Did you two really have to make her angry?!" Sarah asked the two naked women as she and her husband followed them into what looked like a gym. "The Ripper being hungry is one thing, but hungry and livid?!

"With all due respect Lady, shut up." Jane said as she grabbed the shotgun from Sarah and shot the light that was illuminating the gym, plunging the room into darkness. "There. Now we can hide if that thing comes through the door. It's partially blind now, so -"

"No we can't!" Kyle hissed, "She has the ears and echolocation of a bat!"

Before Jane could say anything else, a series of clicks came from behind the gym door as it slowly opened, The Ripper sticking her head through as she turned to the group and snarled.

"Everyone get to the locker rooms, now!" Sarah screamed as the group scrambled towards the locker room door just as The Ripper bounded forward. Once in the locker room, Kyle slammed the door shut and pressed his body against it, Sarah joining him as The Ripper pounded and scratched against the door.

"I don't see any way out!" Alex cried out, tightly embracing her fiance. "How long can that thing wait us out?!"

"Either until she finds a way in, or we have to come out!" Sarah yelled in reply as the couple fought back against the door. "This thing has the mind of a human!"

"Wait..." Jane began, bringing a hand to her chin. "So it can think like a human?"

"That's what it means, yes!"

"So, would it be prone to making mistakes like a human would?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"What are you getting at, Jane?" Alex asked.

"I think I may have an idea..."

"Mayday! Mayday!" Caroline cried out as she tried every frequency on the radio, Shakes shaking in her lap as the woman tried desperately to reach out to anyone. "Is anyone within reach?! Is anyone out there?!"

"A little bit of Ethan in the sun. A little bit of Martin all night long. A little bit of Jeremy, here I am! A little bit of you makes you my man!"

"Mayday! Anyone within radius, please pick up!"

The distress signal in question stopped the off-key cover as a woman poked her head out from behind the shower curtain, wiping the soap away from her face that was dripping down from her freshly shampooed hair as she looked over to the radio in her cabin.

"Mayday! MAYDAY!"

The woman practically jumped out of the shower and raced towards the radio, still wet and soapy as she grabbed the headset and pressed a button.

"This is The S.S. Boudicca. Mayday acknowledged." The woman said over the radio, "What is the nature of your emergency?"

"Thank you!" Caroline whispered happily as she pressed a button. "Please! My friends and I are in immediate danger! Send evacuation immediately!"

"What are you coordinates, Ma'am?"

"Coordinates?!" Caroline gasped, desperately looking around before finally finding something. "Right, the coordinates are..."

After writing down the coordinates that Caroline had given her, the woman bolted out of her cabin and past several surprised and amused sailors before making it to the main deck where another woman dressed in an Admiral's uniform was looking out at the sea.

"Admiral Monroe!" The woman greeted her superior with a salute, causing the Admiral to turn around... And raise an eyebrow at her subordinate. "We just got an emergency S.O.S. transmission of dire importance!"

"It must be important if you were willing to breech uniform protocol, Captain." Admiral Monroe replied with a sly smirk.

"I'm afraid I don't -"

"Oddly chilly this afternoon, wouldn't you say?"

The Captain, still confused, opened her mouth to say something when she did feel a draft over her body. Looking down, her face ignited as she was greeted by wet, soapy, naked flesh.

"Oooh..." The Captain replied in embarrassment, grabbing a life preserver to cover herself with as she chuckled sheepishly. Clearing her throat, she said, "Admiral. It's about that island where your little brother disappeared..."

Now, The Admiral's face lost all amusement...
