Eve was crushed! She couldn’t kill Michael. No matter what Fredrick said or did, there was no way he could make her kill the love of her life.
“Eve, stop being difficult and do as I say. If we can finish here within a reasonable amount of time there’s one more stop I’d like to make before we have to return,” Fredrick said as he reached for Sarah.
Eve watched as Sarah moved out of Fredrick’s reach and looked over at Michael.
What is she thinking? Michael isn’t going to save her, Eve thought as she grudgingly made her way to her boyfriend’s side.


Michael heard the exchange between Eve and her friend but it sounded as if they were talking from inside a well. He mentally kicked himself in the ass for not listening to Sarah from the very beginning of this ordeal. Now it looked like the two of them were going to die and for what? So he could be with the woman he loved one more time?
Sarah was right, it was time to snap out of it and get them the hell out of there. This wasn’t their Eve. Their Eve was dead and buried. He moved to intercept Fredrick and pushed Sarah behind him so he could protect her better.
“Hey, fugly! Pick on someone your own size!” Michael shouted as he rolled his sleeves up.
