Not unless you do something to fill the spaceship with water even faster xD
Jack was surprised to hear Allen's voice and he was even more surprised by his tone. He sounded like he was going to go berserk any minute now. It didn't take Sky's sense of hearing to listen to the sound of firearms that were used after that. He had to get to Allen to see if he was ok, but the water was flooding inside, already above their feet and rising awfully fast. He was glad that Sky calmed down and didn't have to worry about her as well. Also, the other boy seemed to have loosened up too. Jack stood still as Sky wrapped the cloth around his wound, gritting his teeth from the discomfort. After she was done, she said:
"That should help somewhat with the blood in the eyes but I can't promise the blood will stop. I can't remember what to do in the case of head wounds. I'll go find that friend of yours."
Jack wiped off the remaining blood, clearing his vision somewhat, but not completely. He gently touched the top of Sky's head and said:
"Thank you..."
Then he did two things. He threw a shard of glass on the ceiling behind them, blocking the water coming from the bridge and opening a hole on the top of the ship, leading to the outside and then instantly pushed Sky back to Rowan and jumped back himself, so they would have enough distance for his to throw some mor shards, thus blocking the path between them as well. While on the other side of the rubble, he said:
"You have done enough, kids. I am sorry for my rude behavior, but I cannot endanger you into a gunfight. Use the hole I made behind you to escape the ship and wait for Al and the others. I will go on by myself now..."
Then he walked away. He paused for a moment.
"I promise I will buy you a new shirt, princess...", he said and once again headed for Allen's location.

What about the full of love hug I gave you Spyglass? :P
Before Jack could answer Sky's question, someone else ran towards them, calling for them, or only Sky as it seemed. He decided to stay silent and not answer to her, so she could speak uninterrupted with the new person that they met, since he seemed shaken up by the whole Vitus experience, much like Sky was when he met her. And who would blame them? They were still young people, who might not have reached adulthood yet for all he knew. Such cruelty would be enough to render even some of the more strong-willed people insane, much less young people, full of innocence. So, letting them speak would be the best for them to keep their cool. Their age seemed close, so they could talk about many things they would have in common in their pre-Vitus life.
"At least I won't have to worry about the kids getting bored..." Jack jokingly thought.
The conversation apparently have a rather smooth flow, until Sky was explaining what their situation was to Rowan. Then, Jack noticed the change in tone in Sky's voice, a tone he was, unfortunately familiar with. As soon as Sky finished her explanation, Jack turned around to see Sky with a sadistic grin. He ran to them and hugged them with their faces against his body, covering them. The sudden move made blood once again leak through his right eye, going down his face and finally drained by the collar of his shirt.
"Damn, it's too deep..." he thought.
He ignored his wound and said:
"Listen, both of you. I know the situation is too much to handle, but it applies to all of us. We can't escape this place if we are psyched-out! So, kid (reffering to Rowan), I will let you go if you try to calm down and, princess, I will let you go only if you tell me you are back to normal and this grin you had dissappeared!"
He then added in a more gentle tone:
"I will get you both out of here, so don't be afraid..."

Jack carefully listened to Sky explaining her new discovery. He examined all the possibilities he could think of and tried to figure out the best one, just like he was doing when playing poker. Analysis was one of Jack's strong points after all. He thought:
"The Vitus bringing reinforcements...no, it is unlikely that this is the case. There is no reason for them to break their ship apart to kill us...Their numbers and technology would be enough to do so when we emerge from the ship. Besides, since Sky came back and did not mention anything, we certainly managed to take over the bridge, so I doubt the Vitus sent a distress signal. The ship crashing in the water could tip them off to send an exploration team, but it is impossible to approach so soon without being noticed...If they are on another ship, we would have heard it. Could it be help? They couldn't have come that fast either...The only thing left is to check out what is going on. With any luck it could be our friend, though the chances are slim."
Soon after recollecting his thoughts, Jack said to Sky:
"I don't think it is the Vitus, it's highly unprobable. Would you please lead the way there, princess?"

"I guess that I can't convince you to change your mind...Fine, let's go princess!" Jack said and headed for the passageway opposite of the bridge.
He noticed the leaks in the walls, deducing that it would limit his powers since he had to be careful not to destroy any of his surroundings if he didn't want to become fish food. However, his primary concern was Allen's well being. Trying to figure out his location, however, gave him a hard time. The spaceship was like a maze and he could be everywhere. He also had to protect Sky from any possible enemy, so he couldn't rush his way through it...Not like he could anyway, with no stamina left whatsover. Then he stopped and turned to Sky, saying:
"Excuse me for burdening you,princess, but, is it possible to find our friend with your enhanced sense of hearing and approximately find his location?"

Jack paused his walk for a moment, as he heard Sky's voice. He turned around once more, only to see that the young girl came back to them. She seemed to have loosened up a bit, at least as much as someone could loosen up in an invading alien race's spaceship, and he was glad for that.
"I swear I've been in a better shape before and so is Al I guess, as for the other one, I am heading out to find him right n...curses!"
His sentence was interrupted by more blood in his eye. He once again wiped it and continued.
"I will find our other friend. Meanwhile, you and Al escape from the ship with the others,princess! I will catch up to you as soon as I find him!" he said and once again slowly moved ahead, until he heard a faint sound.
"That kind of sound...It can't be! There is water inside the ship already?" Jack thought.
He tried to walk as fast as he could with his worn up body while saying:
"You two must hurry and join the others! If I can hear it, princess, then you can too! Water is flooding the ship! Escape before it goes to the bottom of the ocean!"

Jack was moved by Al's concern. He was used to the "every man for himself" world he grew up with and never expected kindness from another person, even more from a stranger. However he was firm to his decision.
"In poker you usually go with the highest odds...So, two lives for the sake of all the others is the best way to go...Tactics, remember? Besides, I don't plan to kick the bucket just yet!" Jack replied, while wiping more blood from his eye.
He walked to the opposite direction the others headed before. He would like to run through the spaceship to find Allen, but he was not able to in his condition. He knew that he probably didn't have enough time, so he needed luck to find Allen, but luck was part of his character, so he was willing to take the chance. He turned his head to Al while walking off.
"Just a favor...Don't let anybody die...Including you!" he said and then added "By the way, thanks for the concern, Al!"

Jack unwillingly followed Al's actions, sliding over the passageway and bumping in a wall as well. The passageway was windowless, but he could deduce from the sudden slowing down of the spaceship that they had probably landed-or crashed-into the sea. He hit his head on the collision with the wall and he was bleeding, the blood going into his right eye.
"Shit, now I can't aim accurately with the metal shards!" he thought.
He tried to wipe out the blood, but he couldn't stop it. Thus he tried to figure what the best course of action would be, considering there might not be enough time, if the ship would sink along with them. Then he said:
"Listen, Al...I can hardly fight right now and from all the guys I have met inside the ship, the ones who can pack a punch are me, you and the other guy. So, you should go give the others a hand, in case the Vitus are hindering them from escaping. Apart from that, we don't know if the ship will float or sink, so we might not have enough time. Meanwhile, I will go search for our missing friend..."

Jack laughed at Al's statement.
"Ok, fair enough! By the way..."
He slowly started to regain some strength in his body, enough for him to be able to slowly stand up, while hanging against a wall. He looked around,only to notice many Vitus dead, along with the giant one...or whatever was left of him. He quickly examined the whole area, but he couldn't find Allen.
"Where did the other guy go? He couldn't have been taken by the Vitus, right?"
