The man glared at Edwin without a trace of fear. "What's the matter, feeling sorry for her? She's your buddy's girl. What's it to you? Got sdirty little secret between the two of you?" "Shut your mouth! Believe me, I'll blow your head off right here, right now." Edwin aimed his gun at the man. Immediately, the man pressed his knife against Clara's delicate neck. "Go ahead, shoot. Let's see what's quicker, your bullet or my blade. I forgot to tell you that I was a butche back in my hometown. I could take down the biggest steer with a single slice, let alone a woman."

She wants to see you before she sleeps. It's only half an hour to ten. Do you really want to say goodbye to her forever?" Her words seemed to stir something in the man.
