Chapter 42: Revealing Information

Roughly three hours later...

We were about to board the "Queen Mary" to film our first interview.

After Aaron had left my hotel room, I had quickly grabbed my selected outfit for the evening: a pair of fitted blue jeans, with rips and tears in the thighs and knees; a black hoodie with white angel wings on the back, with a laced up ribbon in between the wings; and a pair of heeled boots.

I put on minimum makeup and fixed my hair, similar to how it had been done for the promo photoshoot. Black, smokey eye makeup, and a nude lip colour. My hair halfway pulled back, teased a bit to create a hump on top of my head and styled into a fishtail braid, with French braids from my temples.

I don't know what it was, but I felt more confident in myself with my hair styled like this, as opposed to just letting it hang down or having it pulled back in a ponytail or bun

I don't know what it was, but I felt more confident in myself with my hair styled like this, as opposed to just letting it hang down or having it pulled back in a ponytail or bun. It also kept my hair back out of my face, which was good while investigating.

Before I left the room, I donned the silver cross Zak had given me, as I had done for every investigation.

However, on suggestions from the producers, because there were already rumours spreading online that Zak and I were dating, and because some fans read into any little gesture or token (the fans had somehow figured out that Zak had given me the cross) I decided to wear it under my hoodie, but part of the chain was visible around my neck.

Once everyone was ready, the guys, Ashley and I had gone to dinner and had our fill of delicious food. 

While we were eating, Zak had filled us in on one story about the "Queen Mary" that he had read about online while doing some last minute research. 

After hearing the story, it was difficult for me to contain my already heightened anxiety.

We had all ordered our food, and the waiters brought us our drinks.

After the waiters had left, I saw Zak pull out some folded papers from his backpack.

I had gotten a brief glimpse of them as he unfolded them, they had looked like printed copies of really old newspaper articles.

"I found some reports online about a terrible accident that the 'Queen Mary' was involved in. I think it's something we should investigate," Zak said.

"What did you find bro?" Aaron asked.

"On October 2nd, 1942, while evading German U-boats, the 'Queen Mary' collided with her escort cruiser, the 'HMS Curaçao', slicing it in half, killing 338 men," Zak began.

Aaron glanced at me.

I ignored his look and shifted slightly in my seat. I could almost feel the three, horrible drawings, burning a hole in the back pocket of my jeans.
