As Sarah was struggling to stay conscious, Eric had begun to attack Schultz. He grabbed Schultz by the back of the neck and around the waist to try to pry him off of Sarah. Schultz suddenly spun around and starting fighting Eric. Sarah collapsed to the floor in a fit of coughs. She tried to get to her feet to help Eric, but she couldn't move. Everything seemed to be happening in slow motion. Eric seemed to have the upper hand, but Schultz pulled out a knife and stabbed Eric in the abdomen. Sarah watched in horror as her best friend sank to his knees with blood pouring from his midsection.
"Eric!" Sarah croaked out.
"Shut up, you little bitch! I'm going to kill you. Do you hear me? You're not going to see the light of another day, but before I get to that we need to have a little chat." Schultz said as he dragged Sarah to the living room. Throwing her roughly onto the couch, he began pacing.
"You know your mother was not supposed to die. I loved your mother. You were supposed to be my daughter. Fucking Mac Taylor had to go and screw that up. We were stationed together at Camp Lejeune. He was my CO. Stupid prick. He could have had any woman he wanted, but he went after mine. Your mom was the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. You look so much like her. I thought about keeping you for myself, but I realized when I kidnapped you that I couldn't do that because you have his eyes. I can't stand to look into your eyes because every time I do I see him."
Sarah listened with tears in her eyes as he continued his crazy rambling. Her main focus was on Eric. She could hear his gasping breaths from the foyer. She just hoped that he was able to hang in there long enough for her to get help. She had to do something fast. Slowly moving around on the couch, she was able to wriggle her cell phone out of her back pocket. With the phone behind her back, she dialed 911 and turned down the volume. Hopefully the dispatcher would trace the call and they would notify Mac.
"Why couldn't you have been my daughter? I never would have left you like he did. It's been hard on you, hasn't it? Trying to get to know him as your father? I've seen you with him. You don't know what to do and neither does he. I bet that if your mother hadn't died, then he wouldn't have had anything to do with you. Mac Taylor is too selfish to be a father." Schultz proclaimed as he sat down next to Sarah.
"What are you going to do with me?" Sarah asked frightfully. She was trying to stay in control. Her instincts as a cop were telling to her to remain calm, but the woman in her wanted to scream and yell for help.
"Well, we're going to wait here for Daddy. Then I'm going to kill you both."
