19 What?!

"Drop your guns. Now, kick them over to me," Vanessa orders the men.

Ika glares at Turner as he drops his rifle to the frozen ground. Turner avoids his gaze and crouches before lowering his rifle and pistol to the ground.

"Now walk over to that tree."

Raymond stops a moment to pull the rope from his bag.

"Tie him to that tree there," Vanessa orders Turner.

Raymond tosses the rope at Turner's feet.

"Why him?" Turner asks as he gathers up the rope.

Ika stands with his back to the tree watching behind Vanessa and Raymond.

"Because he might leave you behind, but you definitely can't leave him behind. He's your boss."

"I told this b@#$@...I told her. What is her problem?" Turner mutters under his breath as he goes around the tree and stops at Ika to wrap the rope across his waist.

Ika grabs Turner's forearm while intently watching the background. Turner turns to see what he is focusing on and drops the rope.

"Let's go, we don't have all day!" Vanessa yells.

Raymond turns around a moment to see what the men are looking at. He glances and then turns forward. Then turns around once again to check if what he just saw was correct.

"Uhh, Vanessa?...VANESSA!!!" Raymond pats her back with a hand before running toward the ice.

"What?" She glances behind herself while still aiming at the two men.

Sia is gliding across the ice at a fast speed. Flying off into the distance. Most importantly, she is flying off without them.

"What the f—!" Vanessa almost turns before she is tackled to the ground.

"SIA!! COME BACK!" Raymond shouts out to the woman.

He thinks she can hear him for a moment when she veers off to the left and appears to be facing him.

"We aren't going to hurt you!" Raymond yells while slowly walking toward the frightened woman.

"We just don't trust those guys! We didn't mean to scare you!"

When Sia raises her crowbar, Raymond starts moving faster towards her.

"Wait! You'll collapse the ice and fall in. Don't do that! Sia!"

The crowbar beats at the ice twice. Sia crouches down, and after a moment, flames rise into the sky. Raymond stops approaching the woman.

"What the hell is that?!"

Turner shoves Vanessa into the ground.

"Stay down, c@#!!" he says while pushing his weight onto her back.

Ika runs over to his rifle and cocks it. The struggle stops. An odd whoosh sound resonates in their ears and they all look over at the ice. A fiery blaze is rising into the air.

"What the hell is making that happen?!" Turner yells at Ika.

"…."

Ika raises his weapon and looks through the scope to see what is going on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sia moves on to different areas to attack the ice at other places. Raymond becomes frightened at the sound of the vicious strikes hitting the ice. Even from his vantage point, he can hear the power behind each blow contacting the surface of the ice. She works at it like a man possessed. After less than half a minute, Sia's vigorous beating at the ice comes to an end, and she pauses a moment before Raymond can see her pull out a lighter…and ignite the air. The subsequent blast creates a huge blanket of flames across the ice. The sky vanishes for a moment. The heat pushes Raymond back a few steps. He can't summon up the courage to approach the woman now. At least not on foot.

Raymond returns to the frosty ground and sees Vanessa being marched to the back of the truck.

"Either stay here or hop in the back of the truck. Don't think we're going to be forgetting this crap," Turner shouts at Raymond.

Vanessa's arms are bound together. They have taken her weapons and backpack. They confiscate Raymond's stuff, before letting him join Vanessa in the back. Raymond thinks on a way to explain what he saw to Vanessa but ends up silently climbing into the truck. He drops himself in the seat next to her with a perplexed look upon his face.

Turner appears at the back.

"Where are the keys?"

It only takes a moment for Vanessa to realize what Sia has done.

"Damn it!" she yells. "What is up with that girl?!"
