A Test of Heart

“Smeg off!” Cass spat “Not doing it”
“Katrina: If you escape, Cassandra dies; at once removing any lingering temptations that your husband may have in her direction, while at the same time jeopardising his life by killing the one person with the greatest expertise to save him”
“Cassandra” Queeg cackled with glee “Your escape will kill Katrina, removing your rival in love, while simultaneously depriving Max of his mother, and forever damning you in the eyes of the man you so desperately want”
“I said smeg off!” Cass yelled “I’m not doing it!”
“Oh but you will...” Queeg loomed large on the monitor “You’ve ten minutes before those collars securing you in place are painfully and fatally electrified – You’d better start deciding who deserves to live pretty damn quick”
A creaking boom reverberated throughout the station as the monitor flickered off..

Elsewhere in a different room.

Jaxx and Evelina awoke to find themselves in a bad situation. Evelina and Jaxx were in a large room that seemed to hold large amounts of water. Evelina's ankles were chained to the floor and she saw a machine in front of her with a pressure plate near her feet. The pressure plate had a tube running to a large pressure plate table twenty feet in front of her. Above the large pressure plate table was Jaxx dangling from his wrists by heavy chains, which were held by a loop thirty feet above him. Jaxx also had a five hundred pound weight chained to his ankles dangling above the large pressure plate table. Another two long tubes connected to a part of the machine that had two heavy-duty mechanical cutting blades aimed at Jaxx’s midsection.

Jaxx looked around and saw that he and Evelina were in trouble. Jaxx asked, “Eve babe are you like ok?” Evelina responded, “Uhh….I think so Jaxx but I am a bit scarred. What are we gonna do?” Jaxx tried to pull himself up but the weight was too much. The chains were beginning to cut through his skin and draw blood on his wrists and ankles. Jaxx tried to put on a brave face for Evelina as he said, “It’s cool babe. I’ll think of something.”

Suddenly a hologram of Phil appeared looking like a sports announcer. Phil said into a microphone, “Ladies and Gentlemen! Tonight’s Test of Love will show who cares more the Lovely GELF Model or the Menacing GELF Shark-Man and of course I the great and mighty Queeg will be your host for the night. Evelina yelled, “Lets us go you smeghead!” Phil ignored Evelina as he said, “On my right is the lovely Evelina. Now my dear you get to make the loving choice of saving yourself or your friend Jaxx. Shortly after this message ends this room will fill up with water and drown you. The only thing you need to do to stop the water is step on that pressure plate to activate the heavy-duty cutting blades to cut your dear friend in half so the weight will hit the large pressure plate table and turn off the water and allow it to drain. Evelina looked at Phil and yelled, “Are you insane??”

Then Phil looked at Jaxx and said, “And to my left is the useless Jaxx. Now Jaxx you get to make the loving choice of saving yourself or your lovely GELF friend Evelina. Shortly after this message ends this room will fill up with water and drown her. The only thing you need to do to stop the water is let her cut you in half so the weight will hit the large pressure plate table and turn off the water OR you can watch her drown and wait till the water fills the room and climb up the chain and get the key. Jaxx looked at Phil and said, “Your totally insane in the membrane bro.” Phil ignored Jaxx as he said, “Now for the final event. LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!” The Phil vanished as water began pouring into the room.

Evelina was very concerned as she looked for a way out as the water began enveloping her feet. Evelina said, “Jaxx what are we gonna do?” Jaxx looked up at the key and down at Evelina as he answered, “I don’t know Eve babe, but if I can’t find a way out in time. (short pause) Step on the button.” Evelina looked at Jaxx in shock.

DUM DUM DUM!!!!!
