Wilfred's brown eyes met Scarlett's gaze. Seeing the worry and fear in her eyes, he pulled his hand away from hers. "You don't need to be involved in this."

Scarlett's eyes reddened, and she said hysterically, "Is it worth it? Are you insane? We've fought so hard to stay alive, and now you want to throw your life away for someone else. I've done so much for you, taken so many hits from Sawyer to protect you. Just think of it as doing this for me. I'm your partner. You can't abandon me!"

Wilfred's hand dropped limply by his side, his voice calm. "I never asked you to do all that for me. This is my burden to bear alone."

Scarlett let go of him and stepped back, filled with disappointment. "If you're this crazy, I should have killed her back then!"

Wilfred's eyes turned sharp, and he said coldly, "Haven't you learned your lesson yet?"

Scarlett laughed bitterly. "You know you're the only one I have left. I finally have a companion, and now you want to leave me. I'll go kill her right now!"

She turned to leave, but Wilfred's hand clamped around her neck.
