"Was she speaking Russian?" Washington inquired as he moved away from the window.Louisiana, on the other hand, had her hands over her mouth, wondering if she had killed all the players."Please lie down," Alabama urged as he tried to remove the arrows from her legs. He was the only player who appeared unconcerned about what was going on outside."Did she... kill them all?" Louisiana enquired."Probably," Washington replied, looking at his watch. He had previously noted that they were 30 minutes into a new day. It was Monday, and nothing was happening to them. They were all safe; no attacks, no houses exploding. The prospect of Texas being correct about the loop made him feel guilty.The woman was right, all alone and among those in the room. He was the biggest doubter, and to make it worse, he attacked her.Alabama quickly pulled back on the arrows, sending Louisiana to wail in pain. She wasn't expecting him to pull the arrows without alerting her."Fuck you! Fuck you!" she yelled at

Washington looked at his watch. It was exactly 1 a.m. on Monday. "The game has no time limit," he explained. "I guess we were all in such a hurry to sign the contract that only one person out of fifty noticed that.""What?" The two women asked in unison."We can take a break, rest, and continue where we left off with killing the woman even two days from now."The two women stared at each other and then at him. They did not show any signs of excitement. He could only guess they were waiting for him to call everything a bluff."It's really cold out here, but if I were you, I would be in the house, near my target, striking when they least expected it," he added and walked away.The two ladies were left speechless, staring at his limping figure as he walked into the house and disappeared.New York grabbed onto California's hand. "You honestly do not believe all that nonsense, do you?"California turned to face her."Please tell me you don't! He is obviously her husband, and was sent here

Phone calls began to pile up in the offices of the organizers. Pledgers were expecting answers. They realized they had been blindsided by some footage. They demanded to see what had not been televised to them and threatened to cancel the games.The big boss remained silent, fuming, as the organizers pressed him to address the situation. He was tired of explaining things to the rich, spoiled psychos who were trying to use every minor issue against him.He was tired, he needed rest. He had been straining and working his back off to ensure that everyone had a perfect game. However, that was not taken into account. The knuckleheads had forgotten how spectacular the games had been the past few days. Not once had he tried to con them or favor players, but not one fool remembered that.He grinded his teeth in irritation, trying hard to calm himself down. He reminded himself of how selfish human beings were. Their reaction was not supposed to surprise him. Selfishness and greed were what he

Louisiana glanced up at her, her neck aching in pain, "Did you get it out?" She asked "Yes, now put your hair back. You do not want them suspecting foul play" "I do not understand." "Caroline, you don't have to understand anything. What you have to do now is act, or else they'd notice something was wrong." Louisiana's heart kept beating very fast, the revelation was a lot for her to take in at once. Then she remembered the other players "All my god, the other players, we have to tell them," she suggested. Texas held her head in irritation. The woman was not listening to anything that she was saying. "If they no longer want to play the game, then I will get the chips out," she replied and got up. They had spent more than ten minutes in the safe room, it was more hours than she had anticipated. On the other hand, the organizers were impatient and trying to reach the boss, who had taken a small break. He finally returned to his surveillance room and found a lot of messages and m

In the spare bedroom, Washington quickly washed his face and joined the other players who were panicking. Alabama, who had slept early, was already updated on the situation and the new guests. "Is she gone? Check the door," California insisted. New York quickly checked the outside and found no one. But they all knew how sneaky she was, so she locked the door and stood guard. "This is the only chance we will get. I want to know who is in and who is out!" she asked as she turned. "I am in," Washington replied. There was no need for him to start debating the issue. His stance had been clear the second he was welcomed into the house, and he knew Texas knew it. "Okay, so we are two, anyone else?" New York asked. Alabama cleared his throat, but no word came out. "She has guns," California shivered. "You heard Acer said; she uses knives," New York pointed out. "And arrows," Washington added, and reminded the other two they had no time to waste, they needed to make up their minds. I
