Freddy waited and waited for the Police to show up, but they never came. He thought about calling nine-one-one, but the fear of dying was too much to bear. Maxi walked to the lobby and pointed the gun at Freddy. He spoke. "Why didn't you leave while you had the chance? Either way, you are dead.

Why didn't you walk away?" Maxi put away the gun before speaking. "I saw that life. I just couldn't live it. I felt like I belonged when I was with Red Shirt.

Now get back to work."
