The next day I found Ed.

"You try to kill me?" I asked.

"You trying to kill me?" asked Ed.

"No," we said simultaneously.

"Wanna team up?" I asked.

"Sure. Where's Eddy?" he asked.

"Don't know."

We both looked up at the horizon for some reason, and we saw the 5 slaughterhouses coming our way.

They started running. Ed and I stood our ground. There was a brief shuffle, and Jonny and Andrea were both dead. The others retreated.

I looked up at the hill I was on the other day. I saw two figures on it. Even though they were far off, I could tell they were both girls. It had to be Sarah and May.

One of them, I could tell, looked at Jonny's dead body- one moment's hesitation had earned him Ed's attack- and raised the gun. I cannot bring myself to describe what happened next.

That night it was reported that Jonny (beaten), Rolf (impaled) and Sarah (suicide) had died. I never would have guessed it.
