Rescue/Let Carol live

From Create Your Own Story

I've stolen, and I've killed in self defense, but I can't willingly kill my best friend. I drop the gun, and the man laughs before shouting at me. "So, you think that you can just deny me of my sick pleasure? Well, it won't be happening. Because you show me defiance NOW, when you are so close to your boyfriend's freedom, I'll just kill her, your boyfriend, and then you." He goes over to a service lift, and begins his way down to ground level. I take this time to try to untie Carol, and I manage to get her left arm free when I hear a chainsaw being revved from behind the large metal dividing walls. I reach down to untie Carol's feet as a door in Alex's chamber is kicked open. I hear him spit something along the lines of "I'll be back for you" before he opens the door to Carol's chamber.

Carol gets her other hand free just in time and drops to the ground. The man stands above her and raises the chainsaw above his head. She screams and puts her hands above her head, a natural reaction. Quickly, I toss a bottle lying nearby at the man's head. Stunned, he staggers back. Carol jumps to her feet and runs over to me. We look at each other. We know there's no time to panic. With Alex in the other room, one of us will have to distract him while the other unties Alex.

• Carol can distract him.
• I'll distract him.
