In a bold move, Raegan had hidden Casey in the bushes by the car, convinced that the most perilous places could prove to be the safest.
She had deliberately left signs along the road leading Davey toward the church, pulling out all the stops. The rest was left to fate.
She was certain Erick and his people would come to her rescue.
Yet, Raegan hadnt anticipated Mitchels arrival.
Seeing the crutches hastily discarded on the ground, Raegans heart pounded. She could sense Mitchels desperation a few moments ago.
Raegan, who had remained tearless even in the face of death, finally allowed herself to cry. Erick, youre out of your mind to come up with such a risky plan and let him carry it out
Mitchels leg hadnt fully healed yet. Any mistake, and he could have been the one sprawled in that blood.
Erick was taken aback. Honestly, he hadnt expected Mitchel, at that decisive moment, to leap off the ledge with Davey. Luckily, Mitchel had timely clung to the cross, sparing himself from the same fate as Daveys.

Raegan! Mitchel and Erick both cried out in shock.
Mitchel caught Raegan, and Erick swiftly intervened, saying, Lets get her to the hospital.
As they hurried downstairs, police sirens filled the air, while Ericks assistant stayed behind to talk with the authorities.
Davey, lying in a pool of blood on the ground with his eyes wide open, remained unattended. No one looked back at him. His death was deemed justifiable.
At the hospital, Raegan experienced a horrifying dream.
In it, Mitchel fell from a window, and she chased after him, only to discover a blurred, bloody figure on the ground. No! she screamed in agony.
Seeing her in such torment, with tears streaming down her face, Mitchel kept calling out to her, Raegan, Raegan
Awakened by his voice, Raegan slowly opened her eyes and, seeing him in front of her, immediately sat up and embraced him tightly. Tears streaming down her face, she exclaimed, Mitchel, youre alright! What a relief!
Mitchel hugged her back just as tightly, gently patting her quivering back. Im fine, Im fine he murmured soothingly, trying to ease her until Raegans crying slowly eased.
Still hiccupping, she managed to say, How could you That was so reckless, you know! Please dont do that again
