We exit the house at 4am. Nancy and Cruz sit at the back and I picked Gunter up. We head for the airport and get onto the plane. This was going to be a long journey. Cruz was in the necklace. He couldn't see a thing. There are no "windows" where he could glance at. He sat in total darkness and was quiet. Nancy was asleep and Gunter was vomiting.
"I forgot you were air sick."
"It's fine, Ivan. I'll be fine."

We landed in New York. Nancy and Cruz got out to stretch and we took a bathroom break. We got back on the plane and took off to Paris.

It was midnight. We were all still awake. Gunter was better, but still nauseous. I quietly opened the window and threw the necklace out. Gunter smiled and Nancy noticed.
"NO! What did you just do!"
"Got rid of my burden," I said.
"I love him, Carnell! I've always loved him! Everytime you left me alone with him, we would fool around. We kissed each other yesterday." Nancy turns around and opens the door.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Gunter shouted.
"IF CRUZ DIES, THEN I DIE AS WELL!"
She jumps out the plane. We look out the window and she plunges into the water.
