There were plenty of people on the cruise ship. The Brews family had made extensive preparations for Chloe Anderson's birthday.
During the day, all activities arranged by the Andersons took place on board and they also have their lunch on the cruise.
In the evening, the cruise would get close to Hong Kong, where the real entertainments were.
After getting on board, William Cole identified himself to one of the ship's attendants, received an ID card, and prepared to retire to his room for some rest.
Having been busy all morning, Cole was somewhat tired.
When he woke up in the afternoon, he felt hungry and decided to get something to eat.
After washing his face and in walking to the window, he realized that they were in the midst of the vast sea, with no land in sight.
Cole frowned, checking his cellphone only to find no signal.
