Getaway

"What do you..I mean..wh- How?", Terry asked.

"Come with me.", Amy said and she slowly opened the door. Tiptoeing, she walked down the stairs and moved towards the cellar. The corridor leading to the cellar from the hall was dark.

Behind, others followed quietly. What is she thinking? Trisha was confused. Amy's voice, there's a change now. She seems..more..confident. Firm.

Steve locked the cellar door behind him. He could hear his heart beating loudly. "So, what's the plan?", he asked.

"Steve, I need your help. Can you fix this?", Amy pulled a sheet and revealed a generator, "I saw this the last time I came here.", Amy looked over at the dead body of Idax.

"This is old. Super old. Let me check.", Steve looked at the generator, "Yes, this might work."

"Great. We will use the wine as..", Amy said.

"Are you thinking what I am thinking?", Nancy said, "Are we planning on electrocuting him? Then you don't have to use wine." She pointed to a tap at the corner.

"His mom said that he has a weak heart. So a shock might do the honour.", Amy said.

Steve was pulling something on the machine and he said, "It's a miracle, it works."

"Amy, if this doesn't work, I have a taser in my bag. My mom doesn't let me leave without it.", Nancy said, "But my bag's in the hall."

"Look", Amy pulled a wire from the machine. "This wire will conduct electric current. And..there's one problem. We don't have something to pour the water into."

"I think I have seen something here.", Trisha moved towards the stack of stuffs and she threw some stuffs here and there. "Here."

Emanuel and Terry pulled out a tub from the pile. "This will work.", Amy said and put the wire inside the tub. The boys filled the barrels with some water and poured it in the tub.

"As soon as I signal ,Turn the generator on. ." Amy said, "Now, all we need is a bait."

"Bait?", Emanuel said.

"I'll go.", Trisha volunteered.

"No. I will.", Terry said, "Sid is dead. Sid's mom has been to kind to me. I want to avenge his death."

"Then, all you have to do is lure him here.", Amy pointed to a point at the floor. "Then, we push him inside the tub from Behind. Be sure to move away."

Terry gave a thumbs up and went out. Trisha followed.

"I will give you the end by end from the corridor.", she said.

Terry stood in the middle of the hall and screamed, "WHERE ARE YOU COWARD?!"

Terry could hear footsteps. Where is this coming from?

Trisha whispered back to the remaining people, "He's here, I guess."

Terry started looking around but he couldn't see anyone. "WHERE ARE YOU?" No answer. But he could still hear footsteps.

Suddenly, blood started coming out of his mouth. He looked below at his stomach and he could see three blades sticking out of his stomach.

Wilson pulled out the rake from Terry's stomach and now moved towards Trisha, who was frozen with fear.
