Suddenly, a knock was heard. Zack opened the door, and there stood Matthew. He set his eyes on Max and grew disappointed and disgusted. "Ugh, HIM again? Zack, he''s nothing but trouble!"
Zack sighed. "He wants to helps us."
Matthew looked at Max, then said. "Uh huh."
Zack looked at Max, who now had his fists clenched.
Max finally spoke up. "I believe we could be able to get to that ship." He said calmly.
Matthew wheezed. "No, no! I''m not doing ANY fucking thing with you!" He then turned to Zack. "I TOLD you that I want to go home! This doesn''t matter anymore!"
But Max retorted. "Look, if no one''s going to work together, then I''LL go track down the ship!" He exclaimed.

Matthew laughed loudly. "Pff...yeah, right. What are you going to do? Sail away?"
"No, I''m not!"
Matthew rolled his eyes. "I don''t trust you, asshole. Just - "
"Matthew, stop! I trust him!" Zack shouted.
Matthew wheezed at Zack. "His life must''ve been REAL pathetic then."
"SHUT UP!" Max shouted. "I will. Get that chain back! Once this is over, I''ll leave you guys alone! We can go out separate ways! You''ll never see me again!"
"The last time you made a promise, you blew it! I''m done! Done with your bullshit!" Matthew retorted. "In fact, leave us. Right now...and don''t EVER come back! Zack and I are going home. Now, if you''ll excuse me, I''m getting breakfast."
Matthew then left Zack and Max.
Zack looked over at him. The brown haired boy''s face flushed with fury. He walked out of the room, and Zack went after him.
"Max!"
"No, he''s right. I''m nothing but scum anyway!"
Zack shook his head. "No it''s not true. I see potential in you. Don''t see yourself as anything but worthy."
Max shut his eyes, then opened them and looked at Zack with sadness in his eyes. "You''re wrong to trust me, Zack." He then walked away without looking back.
Zack held the back of his neck.
