He looked at her relievedly. "Jules! You're there! My god, I was worried about you; where have you been?" Julie sat down on her bed. She felt tired. She sighed. "Well, I was in the bureau of the captain... I saw him, Mr Andrews, three officiers and Mr Ismay. They know Titanic is going to sink. She's not unsinkable, like everyone said, and we are maybe the only people who know that - apart from the six men who were in the captain's room, of course." "And so... ?" "They wanted to warn the other passengers, and to get as many people as possible into the boats. But I think this won't be too easy... maybe they won't believe them." "Why not?" Henry had jumped to his feet. He looked a little upset. "They don't want to die, do they?" "Of course they don't", Julie sighed. "But they are all so sure this ship is unsinkable... it seems so safe to them, you know?" "Okay. But what can we do for these people now?" At first, Julie didn't answer. She looked to the window but she didn't seem to see it. It looked as though she was in another world. "Julie?", Henry asked quietly. She didn't answer. He touched her shoulder. "Jules, I know this is hard. I can understand you're afraid. But... come on, we're almost the only people who know about it. So what shall we do now? You're the one who knows better about ships, remember?" He shaked her softly and Julie looked at him suprisedly as though she hadn't known he was there. "You're right. Come on, we'll tell Charlie and the other guys in the kitchen first." She opened the door.
