Alex's throat clenches as she watches the sight, and it's plain for everyone in the room to see the savage look in her eye. He's putting his hands all over that skank and all of a sudden, this isn't fun any more. (Maybe she did die in the hull of that barge. Maybe this is Hell.)

She turns away, unable to watch for even a second longer, trying to get into the swing of things. It's impossible, with this cold chunk of lead in her stomach now, but she plasters a smile on her face anyway. Shaz gives her a look and she waves her off.

One of the male strippers sees her pulling away and pounces on her, dragging her back into the centre of the room, trying his best to get her to dance with him. She's blushing furiously, pulling her hands away from him, and eventually just pushing him away all together. She pushes through the crowd and makes a break for the stairs.
