The screen was in flames, I knew the fire wasn't there but, I felt like I was burning myself. I screamed out his name while scratching on the wall like a mad woman. "Isaac! Isaac! Noooooo….not you….not you," I choked, I was getting tired plus everything hurt. I sunk to my knees sobbing softly against the wall. "Zoya….," whispered Demitri, putting his hand around my waist. I turned away from the wall and welcomed his embrace. By then I felt calmer and more relaxed. I looked over his shoulder to find the Frau lighting up a cigar.

My hands turned into fists as I remembered the Frau doing the same thing in Isaac's final moments. I remember with great clarity the way she disposed of her cigar leaving Isaac to burn alive! I've never felt more willing tear someone to pieces as much as I wanted to with Frau Hitler. I broke away from Demitri and with great speed I ran to Frau Hitler catching her off guard. I gave the trannie several blows to the head and face.

"I'll kill you! I'll kill you! You gender confused nazi! I'll kill you!" I screamed, ignoring the pain in my body then I suddenly remembered the dart on my shoulder. I took out the dart that was completely empty of Obey. I was about to shove the dart deep into her eye but, Demitri pulled me away before I could do so. "No, NO! Let me kill her! Let me paint the white floor red!" I screamed while trying to escape from his power grip. The Frau got up from the floor, her face was bloodied and bruised. Hitler put her hand to her broken nose she shrieked as she arranged her nose back into place then sighed. "Well….it seems she already made up my mind for me."

I saw the Frau lift up her robe revealing her slender legs. On her right leg was a black holster with a silver gun. The gun might have been tiny but, it was still lethal. "April, no! you need to give her a chance on this one."

"Oh come on, Demitri! She saw me kill him and I think she would rather die then choose my other offer."

"What other offer?" I asked, curious at what game she was playing. The Frau smiled putting her weapon away. When she was coming toward us I felt the urge to attack her again. With great difficulty I resisted the temptation to punch her in the face, it was even more difficult when she put her hand against my cheek. She whispered in my ear, "If you want to know the alternative you need to be a good girl and sit back down on the sofa."

I snickered at the remark of 'good girl'. My father always told me that I'm the good girl, that I'm always his favorite child. As I sat back down with Demitri I remembered the last thing I said to dad when he asked why I was going to take his life I simply said, "Because I'm a good girl, daddy."

The Frau picked up her cigar sitting opposite us on a white lazy boy chair. She re-lighted her cigar sucking in the tobacco then exhaling it out. "Now Miss Lovejoy, before I can offer you my alternative I need to ask you. Do you love Rubik?" I thought about that for a moment it was one of those questions I didn't know how to answer. You might as well say that I do have feelings for him, maybe because he took my virginity. They always say that you'll always remember your first time. Even though I have feelings for him I didn't want to marry him.

"I love him but, I don't want to get married to him," I said what felt like an eternity. Hitler cocked an eyebrow then made a small smile. "Oh….you love him and yet you don't want to marry him, now why's that?"

"I've experienced my parents divorce. My father got married and divorced twice. My mother never re-married. Through the time they were married they always argued everyday over everything until I was twelve. The day my dad got divorced was the same day I got Sparky. So in my view marriage is the most bitter partnership deal in the history of humanity and I don't want a part of it."

"Ah….so you wouldn't want to be married to Demitri then?"

I looked over to Demitri whom seem a little hurt at my confession. At that moment I felt guilty even though I haven't known him for sometime. At the same time I was getting a little annoyed that we weren't getting to the point. "Anyway….what does that have to do with your offer?" Hitler took another drag of her cigar then began to speak.

"Well, Miss Lovejoy, Rubik was intending on you to come back to America safely with or without your sisters. Even if Demitri didn't come to save your life you still would have walked out of the Black Cage because Rubik hired a hit man to take out the 4 Sweet Girls. Once you've come back to America he would ask you to marry him. Even if you didn't want to marry him he wouldn't take no for an answer and since you have Sparky you don't have a choice."

"So you're saying I have to get married?" I asked feeling panicky. I felt like I had no control in my life, that I was going to be Rubik's bride. I love Rubik don't get me wrong but, I got the feeling if I married him it would turn sour and that we'll start hating each other then end up divorcing like my parents or worse…he'd kill me.

"No, no, no Miss Lovejoy that's not my offer which I'm getting to. You have to tracking devices on you: one is the ear piece and the other is Sparky."

"What!" I said, putting my hand against my womb. My heart started to beat a thousand miles. I remembered what the Frau did to my ear, I could only imagine what the pain would feel if she inserted that thing inside me. My body started to shake in fear at the thought of that thing violating me. Demitri saw how bad I was shaking, he pulled me closer to him and asked, "What's wrong?'

"Please…..I know what….Sparky….please I don't like the pain," I cried.

"No, Zoya, its not like that," said Demitri softly. "We're not going to use the Probe. Yes, we're going to disable Sparky but, its not going to be with that."

"Then with what?" I asked, wiping the tears away.

"That's were I get to my offer," said Hitler, taking another drag of the cigar. I looked at her feeling annoyed. "Are you sure?"

"I'm positive, Miss Lovejoy."

"Then what is it?"

"A ride to the StrangeLove Clinic in Berlin."
