Trembling with fear and overwhelmed by the immense pressure and terror, Taylor shook like a leaf as he held the gun.

He had not released the safety, worried that he might misfire the gun by accident.

Even now, with no other way to escape, he had never intended to take Yvonne's life. Even if there was only a slim chance, he still wanted to take Yvonne with him.

Christopher had long ceased to care about him and would probably betray him when the time came. Taylor was prepared for this. He was confident that his intelligence and cunning traits would be enough to help him escape and disappear.
