Jared's woman, even if she has to die, she'll die with him.
"What a show," Titus thought as he stared at the computer screen showing the scene from an obscure spot beside the mountain by the tunnel.
Melody Thorne didn't let him down. She's Jared Quinn's Achilles' heel. Once he captures her, won't Jared be at his mercy?
People, the thing they fear most is having a weakness.
"Unbelievable, such deep feelings," Titus mused, rubbing his chin. "How come he wasn't so soft-hearted before, never so deeply involved, able to watch his closest kin die before his eyes? What's changed now? Has this stone-hearted person grown a tender side?"
"Snap," he set the timer to the last minute. The drama had just begun; how it unfolds depends on them.
"Mm... mm," Melody's eyes were wide with terror, watching the time drop from three minutes to one, death creeping ever closer.
"Mm..." Melody wanted to speak, to open her mouth.
She didn't want to die with Jared.
Not die with him.
