Emotions took over Catherine, and she started running toward Denver.Seeing her coming, Denver bellowed, a primal sound that was more roar than human.The bear, however, was not the least bit intimidated by him, and it swiped at him once more.Denver ducked and rolled on the ground.The bear turned and lunged at him.Denver grabbed the broken branch.The bear opened its mouth wide to bite onto his back, but Denver turned around at the last moment and jabbed the branch into the bear's open mouth, pushing against the soft tissues of its palate.Denver’s back hit the ground. He kicked up the branch so that it further penetrated the bear’s mouth.The bear groaned in pain and retreated, pawing at its mouth. It seemed stunned, momentarily thrown off-balance by the unexpected resistance.As the bear bled and struggled to cough out the branch, Denver picked up the knife and repeatedly stabbed its body from many directions while avoiding its swinging paws.Denver’s movements were fueled by pur

Edward Creamer was on his way to the hospital. He smoked five cigars in the last twenty minutes. He hadn’t looked this worried in a long while.“Why did this fool go to her home again?” Edward appeared angry and frustrated. “I told him plenty of times to not even think of marrying a beautiful woman. The more attractive a woman is, the more boyfriends she’ll have. It’s better to just fuck them and then marry a less attractive girl.”Edward was speaking from experience. His ex-wife had cheated on him multiple times with multiple boyfriends, both before and after marriage.If the DNA test back then didn’t show that Stephen was his own flesh and blood, Edward would have given her a horrible death, which in his world would mean something like being eaten alive by the fish at the bottom of a big aquarium.Soon, Edward reached the hospital.The doctor came out to greet him.“How is my son?” Edward grabbed the doctor’s collar. “He better not be dead, or I’ll have a hundred thousand fish feed

In bloody clothes, Denver and Catherine had to walk the whole mountain down as no helpers arrived.So, Sheryl’s help proved to be truly invaluable.Catherine noticed that Denver was bringing the kitchen knife with him.“Why are you bringing that knife along?” she asked. “I don’t think any bear will attack us here.”“I stabbed the bear with this. I’m going to keep this as a memento—”“And remember that horrifying incident whenever you see it?”“Y-Yeah. Pretty much.”“Why would you want to get reminded of that? Is it just you, or are all men like this? Loving to keep stupid things for stupid reasons.”Denver looked at her blood shirt. “C-Can I keep your shirt?”“You want this as a memento, too? No! I’m going to dump this in a trash can since it’s covered in blood, and trash is where it belongs,” Catherine sounded certain about it.They booked a room at a small hotel by the base of the mountain.Catherine changed her clothes, but when she was about to toss her bloody clothes in the trash

After Edward left, Diane entered the house.Subrina saw her daughter and squinted her eyes. “Where did you go?”“Just to meet a friend,” Diane said and was going upstairs.“Wait, why the hell did you record my conversation with Catherine?” Subrina asked aloud. “What were you thinking? Were you trying to use it against me later on?”“I was recording it for fun, Mom. Don’t think too much,” Diane said.“Tsk, you heard what Stephen’s dad said, didn’t you?” Subrina got up from the couch. “Just forget about Stephen before things get worse for us. They are gangsters. If they decide to snatch this house from us, what can we do? Even the courts and police support them. We’ll be brought to the streets.”“I’m aware of that, and I’ll never let such a thing happen, so don’t worry,” Diane said and then went to her room.Despite what Diane said, Subrina couldn’t trust her daughter’s words. “I can’t waste my time here. Peter Mason would be waiting for me now.”Subrina hurriedly left the house and saw

Sheryl told the ambulance driver to stop the vehicle, but he refused to stop it and headed straight to the nearest police station.Sheryl threatened to kill the unconscious nurse. Only then, the driver stopped the ambulance on the side of the road.There was a motel nearby.After Sheryl called for backup on her mobile, she took Denver and Catherine to the motel and booked a room. “Let’s stay here until I find out what exactly happened.”“Are we safe here?” Catherine still looked nervous and shaken by everything that happened. “Won’t the missile hit this building?”The missile was so fast and silent Catherine couldn’t even see it even when it struck the car right before her. Naturally, she was terrified on the inside, even though she wasn’t freaking out.If another missile or two were to strike this motel, which would take time to escape from, then wouldn’t it mean certain death for all of them?Denver also felt that Catherine’s question was valid.Sheryl could see that they were expect
