Nick's POV
I heard the front door shut. I went into the hall to see that Will, Lily, Eve and KT had returned.
'Hey dad, we're just gonna get some lunch then we're off to Lily's.' Will said, and Lily and KT followed him.
'Oh, Eve, Rebecca will be here soon, so will you be okay on your own?' I asked.
'Where are you going?' She replied.
'There's something I need to do.' I avoided eye contact and glanced at KT in the kitchen. 'Erm, how was the.. you know. The goodbye and all that?'
'It went the way I wanted. I said everything I wanted so I'm sure mother would be happy now.' Eve nodded.
'I'm glad to hear it.' I patted her shoulder.
Then Rebecca arrived. 'Hi Nick. Are you ready?'
'Yeah, of course.' I got the flowers off the kitchen table and re-entered the hallway​.
'Where are you going?' Eve asked again.
'Calimov.' Rebecca answered her. I frowned slightly.
'Oh, I see.' Eve said sympathetically and joined the others in the kitchen.
'C'mon then.' I said. I just wanted to get this over with. Rebecca followed me out.

We got to Calimov in less than an hour.
At first I didn't want to get out of the car. I felt drained. This was the place where 3 people had died, 2 of them being my ex bosses.
I was really reluctant, but I saw that Rebecca was waiting for me, so I picked up the flowers and got out of the car.
We slowly walked up to the building. I stared up at it. The place was now a ruin. The upstairs had been completely blown apart.
We made our way over towards the entrance where all sorts of flowers and messages had been laid outside of there. They were all for Hoffman, Mary and Katherine.
But mine were for Katherine. They were pink roses, her favourite. I laid them in front of the others.
We stood in silence for a few moments.
Eventually I pulled myself together and cleared my throat.
'I'll say a few words, shall I?' I suggested. Rebecca nodded and put a comforting hand on my shoulder.
'Erm, Katherine, you were my boss for 2 years, and I have to say, you were a good one.' I started. 'But you weren't just my boss though. You were my best friend. You helped me out of so many tight spots. Even though you didn't do much good sometimes, I think Eve saw the good in you. I'll admit I did wonder sometimes if I loved you.' I glanced at Rebecca but she didn't seem bothered.
'I also want to thank you.' I carried on. 'Because if you hadn't found Mary's hideout, Will wouldn't be here today, so I'm extremely grateful for that.'
'Yeah, thanks, Katherine.' Rebecca said, surprising me. 'I know we never really got along with each other much, but if it wasn't for you, I'd have lost my son, so I'm grateful for that.'
I smiled slightly. She smiled back and took my hand.
'Goodbye Katherine.' I said. I could feel tears springing up, but I forced them away. I wasn't the only one. Rebecca was blinking furiously too. I put my arm around her and we left.

Katherine's POV
I woke up to total darkness. At first I couldn't even remember where I was.
Oh. I was still at Calimov.
I was surprised that I was still alive. I didn't think I would survive the explosion. I counted myself really lucky.
That was when it hit me. I wasn't lucky at all. I was trapped. I couldn't open the box from the inside and nobody could open it from the outside because the electrics were obviously not working.
I shifted my position and nearly cried out in pain. My legs ached from sitting like this for... Well, I didn't know how long. I could have been here for hours, days or even weeks!
I kicked the door. I knew where the door was because of the edges of light around it. The door didn't move.
I kicked it again. This time, I felt the door move slightly and a small beam of light appeared in a corner.
I kicked it again with all my strength. The door flew off and fell. I heard a loud bang as it hit the ground.
Squinting in the sudden daylight, I peered out. Half of the room had been completely blown apart. And half of the floor was missing. That was when I realised that the floor in front of the box was gone. It was a few centimeters away.
I stretched my leg out towards it. No. Too far. I'd probably break my neck if I tried that. I looked down. It was quite far down; I could see the next floor. There was no way I could jump down, I'd die.
I knew I had to jump for the floor. It was risky, but I had no choice or I'd be stuck here forever. I edged as close as possible to the floor.

Then I closed my eyes and jumped.

I felt myself land on a flat surface, so I opened my eyes. Thank God. I was safely on the other side of the office. I'd done it.
I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my right arm. I looked and saw that I'd cut it on some debris on the floor. It was a deep cut, but there was nothing I could do about that right now. I just needed to get out of here. I walked over to the door. The glass in it had been completely blown out so I stepped through the door and made my way towards the stairs.
Will's POV
I heard the door slam shut and mum and dad entered the room.
'We've told me where you were going.' I told them.
Dad just shrugged and sat down on the sofa, putting his head in his hands.
I looked questioningly at mum.
'It was really emotional for him.' she whispered. 'Hey nearly cried. Just... Give him some space for a while.'
'Oh, okay.' I nodded. I saw Eve go over to him.
'You're grieving, uncle Nick. It's okay to feel that way. I was grieving when Adam died.' She told him.
'Oh, erm, thanks Eve.' Dad said. He looked a bit startled.
'I find baking helps to cope with it all.' She suggested and left the room.

Katherine's POV
I left the building and breathed in the fresh air. My ankle was killing. On my way down, the stairs had collapsed and I landed on my ankle.
I took my phone out. It was still working, luckily. I went into my contacts to see who I could call for help.
My mum? Not yet. I didn't want her to kick up a fuss.
Zac? He was in Cuba.
Nick? Not really. I knew he was my closest friend but he obviously didn't care about me if he saved Rebecca instead.
That was when I noticed all of the flowers outside the entrance. I walked over. The ones at the front were pink roses; my favourite. They still looked fresh. I came closer to read the tag on them. I instantly recognised the handwriting. It said:
We'll all miss you Katherine. Especially me.
Nick xxx
When I saw that, I admit, I almost cried. Nick and everyone else thought I was dead. And he obviously did care about me, to do this.
I slumped down on the hard concrete. I was being stupid. The reason Nick chose to save Rebecca and not me was because Mary told him to.
And Rebecca was a better person. I'd caused too much trouble for Nick in the past. And I wasn't very nice to him often. We'd always annoyed each other.
I decided that I wasn't going to let him know that I was alive. I didn't want to hurt him anymore or cause anymore trouble for him. He was better off without me. Even KT was better off without me.
I stood up and hissed in pain. The cut on my arm was still bleeding and it was stinging really bad. My arm was covered in blood. I needed to get it sorted and fast, otherwise I'd get an infection and then I really would die.
I located my car still in the car park. I got inside and checked the date on my phone. 16th April??! I'd been unconscious for 3 whole days. No wonder I felt so weak. I started my car and headed for the hospital.
