Once Amber had managed to slip into a more peaceful slumber, Devin and Jeff spoke quietly to each other about the decision at hand. "You must have been dreaming Jeff, you're crazy! I never kissed Amber!" "Devin, that's my decision, get off my back!" said Jeff. "Amber can't be without the man she really loves." "But, it doesn't seem right to me Jeff." Devin protested. Jeff would hear none of it, he'd made up his mind.
Sally set to work right away on the potion. Jack walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her, kissing her cheek gently. "I'm going to go to your house to get them out of there." he said. Sally whirled around. "How Jack? They'll stop you!" "And disobey their leader? I should think not! Even if Jewel was so foolish, Dr. Finklestein is loyal to me, he'd stop her and keep the secret if I asked him to. I trust him Sally, and the less people that find out the better. We have got to get them away from Jewel. I love you!" Jack gently kissed the cheek of the future Pumpkin Queen once more, and walked boldly out the door.
Amber wasn't getting any better, as a matter of fact she was now coughing up small amounts of blood. Devin gently wiped the blood from her lips with his sleeve while Jeff sat at the window, staring out at nothing in particular. Amber took hold of Devin's arm. "I want you to know that I love you." she whispered. "No matter what happens or what you decide, I will love you both until the day I die...whenever that may be." Amber resumed her coughing.
A silent tear slid down Jeff's cheek as he quickly wiped it away. 'I knew I didn't dream that kiss.' he thought.
Jack quickly strode to Dr. Finklestein's home. When Jewel answered the door, Jack gave her a stern look. "You're just in time Jack." she said. As she led the Pumpkin King to a room in the back of the house, he pondered this. 'Just in time for what?' he wondered.
There sat Dr. Finklestein, with a look of bitter disappointment. He wasted no time. "Jack, Jewel gave me some disturbing information tonight. It seems that Sally is harboring living humans, three to be exact. They're all locked up in her room." Jack decided it would be best to play dumb.
"Humans? How could she?! This could be detrimental to our society! I would be much obliged if the two of you could keep this under wraps until this is dealt with." "Of course my boy. We'll do anything we can to help you rid us of this problem." "I'll take the humans with me until I can figure out how to dispose of them properly."
Jewel cracked a smile. "Well, you'll only really have to deal with two Jack." she said. "Why? What did you do to the third?" he asked, his tone more solemn. "Oh Jack, I was so startled, I did the first thing I thought to do! I shot one of them and then locked the door, I was so...frightened!" Jewel flung herself at Jack, but Dr. Finklestein quickly pulled her back.
"I know this is hard on you Jewel, but be strong." he said. "And what of Sally?" asked Jack, faking a look of concern. "She's upstairs with them. Don't be alarmed, she's a tough girl, she can look after herself." the doctor replied calmly.
Jack turned away and said to the people behind him, "I want you to go in the basement until I transport them safely out of your home. I would hate for any civilians to get hurt. I'll let you know when it's safe to come back out. I'll only be a minute." "Be careful Jack my boy! Come Jewel, we must do as he says."
The door opened slowly as Devin and Jeff simultaneously whipped around. There stood Jack, and they relaxed. "Thank God!" said Devin. "We were worried it was that phsyco robot again!" "Don't worry, just make sure you listen carefully."
When the doctor and Jewel heard Jack's word that it was safe, they went out to see what had happened. Jack held the injured girl in his arms, while the others were in chains. "How ever did yo get them to cooperate?" asked Dr. Finklestein, his curiosity about these humans growing. "They are just so stricken with grief doctor, it's not hard for such miserable creatures to struggle. The girl is dead."
"Oh, what a shame." Jewel said, struggling to hold back laughter as Jack walked out the door. He quickly got them back to his house, thankfully they arrived unseen. When they got inside, Jack called out, "Sally, I'm home! They're ok!" Sally ran in and greeted them. "Thank goodness your safe." she said, but her smile faded fast as she watched Jack lay Amber on the couch.
"Did I do a good job at playing dead?" she asked, putting on a weak smile. "Wonderful Amber. Just hang in there!" Jack replied patting her hand. Jeff and Devin took off the fake chains and went immediately to Amber's side where they congratulated her on a fabulous performance.
"How close are you to finishing the potion Sally?" Jack asked. "I'm almost finished. It should only have to boil for another thirty minutes or so. Then two of them can drink it. Do you know who they have decided on Jack? Is it Devin or Jeff?" "I'm not sure, but either way they're all going to suffer, this I know. Organisms that love each other, no matter who or what they are, cannot survive when apart from the one they love."
Back at Dr. Finklestein's home, he said to his creation, "Jewel, go retrieve Sally, will you?" "Of course doctor baby." she replied. When she reached Sally's tower room, however, it was completely empty.
"So, Sally and the Pumpkin King are saving the humans together. How revolting! I'll have to teach them that there are certain lines that must never be crossed. It's time to separate the living and the undead."
