Jerome was getting bored, just sitting here, waiting for the impending doom that was sure to happen soon. He started to wonder if he was ever going to just have a normal life. He had decided to try to open the door again, he knew it wouldn't work, but he remained hopeful, he didn't exactly have any other ideas. He was pulling at the handle of the car door when he looked up and saw Victor coming.

"Ah hello Victor, just on time." Rufus said as he looked down at his watch. "Now, give me the Elixir." He demanded. Victor sighed, he knew Rufus would react badly to what he was going to say, but then he decided to mess with him a bit, talk to Rufus, try to figure out what his plans were.

"And why would I do that?" Victor asked, already knowing the answer.

"Because you want Jerome, and you want him alive." Rufus told him. He put his hand over his pocket so he could feel the gun, but it wasn't there, he had left it in the car. He cursed under his breath. He needed it, in case Victor tried any funny business.

"Is one boy's life really as valuable as the gift of eternal life?" Victor said. Curious about what Rufus's answer would be. Rufus was slightly confused, what was Victor up to?
"Just give me the Elixir and you can have the boy."

Sibuna watched from behind the trees.

"OK, everyone ready?" Fabian asked them all, and they all nodded. "And you all know what to do" he asked, to make sure.

"It'll be OK Fabian, we'll get Jerome back." Nina reassured him.

"I hope so." Alfie said, he just wanted to get Jerome out of there. Alfie, Fabian and Angela headed towards the car, but made sure to remain hidden behind the trees. While Nina and Patricia stayed behind the trees to keep watch. The car was on the other side of the clearing. They got there and saw Jerome, watching Victor and Rufus talk. They sneaked over to the door and Fabian got out his trusty ruler, the one he used to save Patricia last time. He pushed it into the crack between the door and the car and started to try to open it. Jerome heard a noise and looked up to see his friends at the window.

"Guys! Thank God, get me out of here!" He whispered through the door.

"I'm trying" Fabian told him as he struggled to open the door. The heard a click coming from the car door.

"Congrats Fabian it's almost open" Alfie praised Fabian's efforts, he looked behind him and saw something that he didn't want to see. "Uh Fabian, Rufus is heading towards the car." Alfie told him, starting to get worried again.

"What? But we need to get Jerome out!" Angela said. Fabian sighed, he didn't want to do this but he had no choice. He quickly took the ruler out of the crack and put it into his pocket.

"Wait a second, you can't leave me here!" Jerome told them through the window.

"I'm sorry Jerome" Fabian told him sadly, "Come on guys we gotta go." Fabian told Alfie and Angela. None of them really waned to leave Jerome, but they knew they couldn't get caught.

Rufus took a few steps toward the car and opened the front door and grabbed something. Unfortunately for Victor, he realised what he was grabbing too late, Rufus was pointing the gun at him.

"Just give me the Elixir and we can all go home." He told Victor. Victor straightened up, he wasn't expecting a gun, he didn't think he would go this far.

"Are you mad?" he asked Rufus.

"Quite possibly, yes" Rufus smirked. His smile left him when he heard a noise from behind him, he turned around and saw three teenagers standing by his car. At first he was a bit confused, but soon realised none of them were Jerome, so he felt a bit of relief. When they saw him, they started to run. But just then he thought of an idea, he quickly grabbed one of them, the smallest one, who just so happened to be the slowest one. He put his arm around their neck and the gun to their head. They struggled, but Rufus was strong. He turned around to Victor, keeping the gun to their head.

"Maybe you'll reconsider our deal now that there's another life on the line" He said to Victor. Victor looked confused, he had never seen this child before in his life. Rufus saw his facial expression and looked down at his little hostage. It was his own daughter.

"Angela?" He said out loud confused. He quickly regained his thoughts and put the gun closer against her head. "I'll still do it, I don't care who it is." He told Victor. "Now just give me the Elixir, or else" He said. Victor sighed, he knew he wouldn't be able to save this girl.

"I don't have the Elixir" He told Rufus.

"What?" Rufus was starting to get mad now. He felt blood pump through his veins faster, the adrenaline rushing to his head, he was going to pull the trigger. Just then a pair of hands came from behind him and grabbed the gun. Rufus turned around to see Jerome standing there, with the gun pointing at Rufus's face.

A few minutes beforehand, just as Fabian, Alfie and Angela started to run away, Jerome knew he had to get out by himself. He started using all his strength to push against the door, thankfully Fabian had actually almost opened it, just a little bit further and then the door opened. Jerome felt ecstatic, this was it, he was free. He got out and turned around to see Rufus with a gun to Angela's head. He suddenly felt scared, scared for Angela. He thought fast and ran towards Rufus's back and grabbed the gun from him and pointed it at the mad man.
