Opening the door to where the captives are kept. I see ten young women in cells, and I also see some of them have girls with them in the cells, most probably not over the age of 13 years old. "These must be the women the guards were talking about," I think to myself. I look around to see if the men the guards were talking about were here, but I could not find them. I take out the key that I took from the body of what I think was the boss and go over to unlock the cells. As I walk over to one of the cells, one of the women notices me.

"Who are you? You do not look one of the guys keeping us prisoner," said a woman with tattered clothes in the cell.

"I am here to rescue everyone. I have already subdued your captors. I will release all of you then inform the coast guard on the radio," I tell her in with my undisguised voice so she would trust me.

"Really! That's great! What's your name? Are you some kind of mercenary hired by one of the families of girls here," the lady quickly asks seeming exhilarated.

"No, I am not a mercenary. I will not tell you my real name but, you can call me Shadow. Oh, by the way, do you know where the men who were captured are at," I ask her while I walk over to unlock more cells.

"Well, Shadow, you can call me Amber, Amber Watson. I saw some men being taken to the side room over there," Amber says while pointing to a door on the far side of the room.

"Thanks, can you unlock the rest of the cell while I go get the guys, Ok," I ask her while giving her the key.

"Sure, you can count on me," Amber says, smiling while taking the key.

Running over to the door Amber pointed out, I try opening it but find it's locked. I take a step back from the door, then slam my shoulder into it to break it open. I walked in to find four guys in dirty clothing looking at me.

"Who the hell are you," the man on the far left shouts. "You better have not have laid a finger on my sister."

"You can call me Shadow if you like. I am here to save you, not hurt you. I already knocked all the guards out and started to free the women in the cells," I tell them.

"Were you hired by my family, the Rutherfords? Is my little sister Jane okay," a blond man wearing expensive-looking clothing asks.

"I was not hired by anyone. I was just passing by. Your sister should be in the other room," I plainly tell him.

"Still, I think you should be rewarded for saving my sister and me. If you are ever in Central City, look Alex Rutherford up and give me a call. I will make sure to reward you with a hefty some money," Alex says with a smile.

"Sure, Sure, I'll do that. Now, go into the main room. I will look around the ship for their radio. When I find one, I will come back to get you so you all can inform the coast guard about the situation," I inform them.

After a few minutes of looking around the ship, I find a room with another locked door. I knock it down just like the last, and inside it, I find heaps of cocaine in the large room. Look around the room I see stacks of money on top of a table. I go over to the table and, I see 10 bundles of 10,000 dollars. I quickly put the money into my inventory and continue searching for a radio.

Following a few more minutes of searching, I find a radio in one of the rooms. I go back down to where all the people were located and bring them to the radio.

"Alright, now just use the radio do call the coast guard so you can be rescued and all these people can be arrested. Do you all need anything before I leave," I ask all of them?

"No, we are okay. But we all wanted to say something before you go," Amber says.

"Thank you for rescuing us," they all say in unison.

"You're welcome. Now I better get going," I tell them as I start leaving.

An hour after I return to shore, I get a system notification.
