Sarah had a bad feeling about this alley, but she couldn't put her finger on what it was. She felt as though they were being watched, but when she looked over her shoulder and squinted into the darkest shadows she saw nothing. She couldn't shake the feeling that having taken pity on Michael and agreeing to this adventure, that their lives were about to change. Whether it was for better, or worse, remained to be seen.

Michael appreciated Sarah coming with him to find Eve but, truth be told, he would have gone without her. He knew he had seen Eve and he refused to be swayed to think otherwise. There was only one woman he had ever met in their small town with hair that color red. He needed to know if she was, indeed, dead so that he could move on, or if she was, somehow, still alive so he could work things out with her. He was just starting to come to grips with the thought that she was dead, and now this! What would he do if she really was alive?

Eve heard them approaching their hiding spot. She looked at Fredrick with panic in her eyes. She really hadn't thought this through, showing Michael a glimpse of herself before the agreed upon time. Fredrick grinned at her cruelly as Sarah and Michael continued to approach their hiding spot.

Eve held her breath as she heard Sarah whisper, "We should leave now, Michael. I have a bad feeling about this." She could hear the movement of their clothes, as if Sarah was pulling on Michael. Fredrick continued to grin at her cruelly as her boyfriend crept closer and closer. She knew her best friend was a "sensitive" but she wasn't sure just how sensitive.
