Sarah's body was crawling with goose flesh by the time she and Michael had made it to the dumpster in the middle of the alley. She continued to beg Michael to leave but her pleas seemed to be falling on deaf ears, he was so intent on finding Eve. She considered, briefly, leaving him here and going home herself, but her "sensitivity" was screaming at her that they BOTH needed to leave.

Michael barely heard, much less, felt Sarah pleading with him to leave. He felt as if he was close to finding Eve as they began to round the dumpster. He needed to know, for his peace of mind, that Eve was really dead and that what he saw was his imagination trying to make the hurt lesser than it truly was.

Fredrick held Eve around her waist, keeping her from moving around the dumpster to meet Michael and Sarah. He hissed in her ear, "You will let them come to us, you impatient child."
