CHALLENGING THE TIME SEEMS TO BE NOT A GREAT IDEA BUT, COULD BE ANY OTHER WAY TO TRY TO SAVE FREDDIE'S LIFE WITHOUT EXPOSING YOUR OWN SKIN? DO YOU WANT TO FIND OUT HOW FAR OUR HEROINES ARE WILLING TO GO TO ACHIEVE THEIR HIGHEST GOAL?
- Then are you totally sure? -I asked almost wanting to shout with joy. Actually if I weren't all tied up and unable to move, I would start to jump with joy on my bed. I regarded it like a triumph. I didn't expect I could get it.
I wasn't very convinced myself with Siegfried. He could be so easy to persuade just choosing the right words but yet, there was a hardcore shell all around him. Perhaps due to so many ordeals throughout his life. My intent was to manipulate him somehow so we could both finish Sally off or at best, we could have the chance to escape after previously rescuing Farrokh. I was very aware of what I was proposing to him and knew the many risks we would be exposed to but, what else should we do but giving our all? My goal in life wasn't spending my days stark naked on a bed, coughing, all tied up and humilliated. It was high time to take a step forward. No matter how reckless and radical it could be. There was no room to half-measures. All or nothing at all.
- Shhh. Please. Let's talk whispering, okay? Sally has been suspicious some days ago.
- Why? What did she tell you?
Siegfried lay down on me on bed, as closed as we could be so his lips were stuck into my ears and mine into theirs. In such a way that we looked like a couple of lovers when we were only a pair of captives trying so hard to not be heard by the enemy.
- I can feel it. Her attitude has slightly changed. And we gotta be cautious.
- Alright. How are we going to do this?
- Keep me out of that.
- What's wrong? I thought...
- I've been thinking of what we've talked about. About that freedom stuff. I think you should try to escape and I will help you.
- Won't we team up?
- The best idea is trying this on our own. I'm gonna run away and you should try this too.
- Are you telling me you are leaving me alone with that? Don't you trust me? If we get it, I won't leave you or betray you. I'm the most loyal person in this world.
- I don't doubt it. But I'd rather doing it on my own and I won't be in debt with anyone.
- I don't mind owing you my life, Siegfried. You've been the only hope and comfort I got throughout this torture.
- I appreciate your words. You've meant a lot to me too. I never dreamt the person whom I should watch over, was going to scrumble my conscience. You were right. I've been only a toy for everyone and I think I can do more than that.
- You are worth a lot. You can become a brilliant man.
- Be quiet a minute...
- What?
- Shhh... -he put his forefinger over my lips, sealing them. But right away he withdrew it-. No, false alarm. I thought I heard a noise. Listen to me closely, Amandine. I'm gonna give you your icepick, right? Here it is, under the pillow...
