Part 1 HERE
The klaxon wailed, making her blood pressure spike. Grasping at her neck, she silenced the rising scream and choked it back down her throat.
Looking back and forth frantically, she familiarized herself with her surroundings. Looking down, she saw their hands were still intertwined. Her fingers felt stiff and numb from grasping so tightly through the night. She wiggled her fingers, and then began to shake his hand.
"Seven. SEVEN! It's the alarm!"
He was silent. Unmoving, he remained still.
She slid an arm, branded with a 6, across his back. Shaking him slightly, she called his name quieter, hoping to stir him into action.
"Seven, please. The alarm."
A toned, tanned arm snaked out from under the sheets. He tapped the top of the alarm with a muscular hand, branded with a number 7 across the top. Turning back to his love, he pulled her close against his bare chest.
"Mmmmm, good morning, my sexy Six. Welcome to another morning in the Blue Zone."
