Because you’re crazy, I thought, even though I said nothing.
“It was because I researched the region when I was hired, Herr Rosolini. I always research the habitat of my prey.
“Not only that, I scoped out this entire area before I came to your cabin. You see, I never leave things to chance… which is why I planted explosives at the base of the stua.”
I froze.
I was already halfway across the dam.
He’s bluffing…
“I told you before that if you chose to follow me, the consequences would be on your head,” Zollner said in a sad voice.
Then he held up the object he’d pulled from his jacket.
“Auf wiedersehen, Herr Rosolini,” he called, and pushed a button on the device.
BOOM!
A massive explosion split the air.
Vibrations like an earthquake shook the dam beneath me.
Oh shit –
He WASN’T bluffing.

A yellow fireball exploded from the base of the dam Zollner had just dragged me across –
Which Massimo was currently on top of.
I felt the shockwave against my face –
And the entire structure began to shift and sag.
Giant cracks appeared, and even more water began to burst through the dam.
I screamed in panic – but because of the gag in my mouth, I could barely hear myself over the roar of crumbling stone and rushing water.
My eyes were on Massimo, who stood up on the wooden railing of the walkway –
And leaped into the raging river 30 feet below him.
He jumped outwards into the churning waters as far from the crumbling structure as possible.
He cleared the rubble as the dam collapsed in on itself –
But he was immediately swallowed by the river.
I strained my eyes to find him in the darkness –
But I couldn’t see a hint of him.
I screamed in horror behind my gag.
