"Bryan, it's not like him to not be out and about. I'm worried."
Bryan, Sam's husband, and Liam's brother in law, just shakes his head. "Sam, I'm sure he's fine. He probably just tied one on with Jimmy last night, that's all, and he's sleeping off his hangover. You know he has no show today."
"Something's not right Bryan. I can feel it."
"How's about we check in with Jimmy and Mike, see if they've heard or seen anything. Those two wouldn't let him get into any trouble. You know that."
Sam sighs as she pulls her long blond hair into a ponytail. "Fine. But if they haven't heard anything, I'm going to his room,and that's final."
Bryan nods, smart enough to not argue with his wife. "Fair enough."

Down at the breakfast buffet, Jimmy is worried too. "Ava, I haven't seen him since late last night. I'm kind of worried."
"We can go check on him after breakfast if you want."
Mike, who is sitting at the same table, along with his wife Leah, nods. "I think that's a good idea." He spots Liam's sister Sam, and his brother in law Bryan, walking their way. "Maybe Sam or Bryan have heard from him." He gives Bryan a nod. "Hey guys, we haven't heard from Liam. Have ye?"
Sam shoots Bryan a look. "That's it. I'm going up there."
"Me too," Jimmy nods.
Mike sighs. He supposes he'll have to as well. "Let's go then."

Liam carefully cracks open an eye as he wakes up. Ow, that sun was way too bright! He stretches his arms up over his head, and gives thought to last night. He aches all over. Just how much had he and Jane done? And what kind of positions had they gotten into? Good Lord that woman knew some tantalizing tricks in bed. He swings his feet out over the side of the bed, and stretches again. God, he actually felt human again. His need for a body in his bed fulfilled.
A very nagging thought fills his mind. For all the times he and Jane had gone at it last night, he can't once remember having something on over his dick. But Jane would have said something, wouldn't she, if she was worried? Maybe she'd had too much to drink as well. The drink always did cloud his judgement, as he's guessing it did hers. Before he can make his way to the bathroom however, there is a knock on the door. Jaysus, he should have known to put that privacy sign on the door last night.
He wraps a towel around his lower half, and then makes his way to the door. Standing in front of it are his sister Sam and her husband Bryan, and they are joined by Jimmy and Mike. "Lord thunderin' by's, can't a man get any privacy around here?"
"We were worried about you Liam," Sam says softly. "It's not like you to not keep in contact, even if it is during the night."
"I'm fine sis," Liam reassures Sam. "Just had some, uh, me time."
"Me time my ass," Jimmy scoffs. "Me and Mike saw you with that woman last night. You got laid buddy, didn't you?"
Liam scowls at Jimmy. Were there no secrets on this boat? "And so what if I did?"
Jimmy tries to peek in around Liam, but Liam blocks him. "Liam, there must be something you're hiding."
Liam sighs, and then steps aside, revealing the figure of the sleeping Jane in his bed. "Yes, I got laid last night, alright? Happy now?"
Jimmy smiles at Mike. "You owe me a round."
