Hope

Evelyn has been kidnapped and while Will and Courtney journey back with Mike in hopes of finding her, she's been held hostage back at the palace of the hornet. She stumbles on the good news of Will and Courtney's escape and watches the rip it brings Big Tom and his family. Will is unable not to be able to do anything and help Evelyn out. He foolishly returns and surrenders to the hornet. Evelyn is afraid he will be killed and if not for the timely intervention of the police, he would have been. Evelyn's POVSmall Jay shows up at our door; this time, I am the object of interest. We are losing this battle and I am determined to die fighting. I want to negotiate for Will and Courtney's release in exchange for whatever they want from me. It feels good to have leverage. My leverage does not last up to a day as we discover that Will and Courtney have escaped their prison. I am glad to watch the newsreel the hornet. My excitement does not last as Will suddenly shows up. I'm afraid for his life. Will's POVI am excited to go back to Evelyn. We'll make a better plan after I rest. It's heart-wrenching to discover that Evelyn is back in the den I have just escaped and even though Mike makes an uncertain decision and asks me to stay rested, I convince Lisa and Courtney to let me try and save Evelyn. My decision might have been foolish but Mike's uncertain decision saves me.
