"John no!" Tracey cried out. Her brother was willing to die for her, but she couldn't stand it. She couldn't just let him give up his life for her. How could this woman just decide to take one of their lives? What would Tracey do without her brother?
And then this woman was talking... but obviously not to them. But she was talking about how they were going to let her go, but kill her if she told anyone about this.
She didn't answer. Lying had already gotten her in trouble before. And if she couldn't get away without John, she didn't know if she wanted to get out at all.
"Tracey, just do it. You can get out of here," John said bringing Tracey's attention back to him. He always protected and took care of her. And when it was Tracey's chance... she couldn't. Not from a lack of will but because they were trapped.
