the truth. I have lied in the past, for the greater good, but this is the truth. If your father was awake he would admit it. But you are right, he is in fact dying, we haven’t been able to wake him up, and we’ve tried everything.”
    Jack heard a loud electrical zap, and he saw Stan’s body jerk on the screen in front of him.  
    “You will pay for this Nikolai if it’s the last thing I do.”
    “Stop with the threats, Jack, they have no merit, you’re powerless,” Nikolai paused and grinned. “This is a fair outcome when you think about it. Your father took my only son—and now I will take his—while he watches.”
    “What guarantee do I have that you will not detonate the bomb?”
    “You have no guarantees Jack—the only guarantee you have is that your wife is dead, and you will cause the death of everyone around you if you don’t comply—that’s your guarantee.”
    Jack came unglued when he mentioned Kate and yelled, “NIKOLAI,” as the screen flickered and turned off. He ran out of the Blacksmith Shop towards the giant steel door. If only he could get in there to kill Nikolai and disarm the bomb. He desperately ran the palm of his hand over the embossed “D”, the decorative border, and the small circle underneath. He headed back to the hatch and up to the Pirates of the Caribbean , towards the CM entrance to the Blue Bayou.
    “Jack,” Gaur questioned, “what happened, what did he say?”
    “He wants my dad, and I to meet him on Tom Sawyer Island.”
    Gaur looked worried, “Jack, you can’t trust Nikolai to hold up his end of the bargain.”
    “I know.” Jack was getting an incoming call from Ruddy.
    “Jack—” Ruddy said quickly.  
    “Where are you?” Jack scowled.  
    “Listen to me very carefully, Jack, if Gaur is in front of you, just confirm it by remaining silent.”
    Jack looked at Gaur and continued to listen to Ruddy.  
    “I did some research, checked sign in logs, Bill said he was here with his family today—I checked everything, and this is not true. I made a few calls to verify, and his family is out of state right now.”
    “You’re lying.”
    “No, Jack, I’m not lying, Gaur is involved somehow.”
    “Where are you at right now?”
    “I’m near the front gate where you told me to stay.”
    Jack pressed his earpiece, “Luke?”
    “Yes, Jack he’s telling the truth.”
    Jack took a deep breath and glared at Gaur, who looked concerned.  
    “I’ll call you back.”
    Jack moved closer to Gaur and then quickly drew his SIG from his side, pointing it directly at Gaur’s face. He knew this was the quickest way to get to the truth.  
    Gaur raised his hands and nervously uttered, “Jack?”
    Jack’s voice boomed, “WHY DID YOU LIE TO ME, BILL?”
    “Lie to you? About what?”
    “Your family was not here today—why would you lie about that? Also, why are you getting funds from the Russian mafia?”
    Gaur stammered and tried to get words out, but he couldn’t. A Cast Member unexpectedly walked out of the Blue Bayou entrance and froze when she saw Jack with his gun drawn, she gasped as Jack looked over at her.
    “Go back through the door,” Jack told the CM as he looked to his left.  
    Gaur reached back and pulled a small knife from above his shoulder blades. He hurled it at Jack. The knife flew end over end towards Jack and landed deep in his upper arm. Jack felt the knife enter his flesh as a flash of pain swept through his body. His arm holding the gun lowered as Gaur pulled another knife out of an ankle holster and charged towards Jack.  
    The CM screamed. Jack timed a lethal roundhouse kick that landed just below Gaur’s hip. The force of the kick swept Gaur off his feet as his body smashed to the ground. He was, writhing in pain as he squirmed on the floor. Jack drove his knee into Gaur’s chest to restrict his breathing, pulled the small knife out of his arm, and thrust it through Gaur’s forearm. The knife went through his arm and anchored in
