Chapter 35-1

[LiamKerrington]

Not sure. This is how I see this last picture between Scratch and CJ. Spoiler: No, Scratch won't go after Saul leaving an unarmed, still leathel woman behind, because CJ could take the blade anytime again, and Scratch wouldn't leave such an opportunity.

Scratch and CJ trade blows. Saul says something, which makes CJ stop moving, even turn half way around to him calling his name. Scratch rushes on CJ, grabs her hair and pulls her head with her free hand, while pushing the blade away. CJ screams and drops the blade. Scratch uses her momentum and makes CJ loose her balance, drop halfway to the floor. Resting on her knees, caught in a deathgrip from Scratch she feels Scratch's knife at her throat. "You lose...", says Scratch and cuts CJs throat, "I win." Now Scratch has the opportunity to deal with the half-downed Saul ...

About the alarm on the door: Yeah, I was wondering a lot and didn't come up with a solution. Except maybe for this: CJs opens a door to find an old man not sure in what condition he might be; maybe she considered him just a burden which is why she wanted to deal with Scratch first?

Gatekeeper has his Sat-Phone, the one Victor and Saul and the late CJ were after in order to deliver spare parts to Glenn and make him repair the Irwin-Sat-Phone.

Well, hell broke loose. Granted: There is a lot of potential for weird and not so weird plot-twists ... Next week will tell us - unless #35-2 is about Whiskers hunting zombie-rats ...

All the best!
