Jack reels from the slap. He flexes his jaw back into place and sees how hurt and offended the girl looks. Damn. He hadn't meant to so upset her. It was just a bit unnerving having that dead hand in his mouth.
He takes hold of the sides of the small boat as the others bang at it and rock it. Something has gone very wrong.
"'M sorry. I shouldn't haver reacted so poorly." He lowers his head, keeping his eyes on the girl and hoping she tells the others to stop.
