"Stop snooping in Chester's mail Brad and let him sleep for god sake!" snapped Phe from the back lounge.

Brad ignored him and unfolded the paper he found on Chester's curtain. In neat handwriting the words "For my dear friends" covered it.

P.S.: I love you Brad!

Phe wants to get himself some water as he passes Brad. Seeing him starring at the sheet pale as a ghost. Brads lips start to quiver and his knees give out. Phe jumps forward catching Brad, not knowing what's going on. Brad lets out an ear piercing scream and Phe knows that nothing will ever be the same again. The other come running into the bunks, Mike trips and tries to catch himself up with Chester's curtain. The curtain rips and allows them to see into Chester's bunk...
