If Erick wanted to finish this as soon as possible, then Alfonso would satisfy his wants since he was thinking that this was just a consolation for him to be with his beloved woman before both of them would die.
'It's just a matter of time, the Chief Detective and an International Reporter will die in our own hands. What a loving couple, even in death, they will be together,' Alfonso thought to himself.
"Alright, let's do this exchange now. On my go signal, we will let the two of them walk, the scientist will go to my side and your beloved woman will go to your side as well." Alfonso suggested to them.
"Okay," Erick responded.
He glanced at Mr. Carter one last time. Mr. Carter nodded at him and gave him a reassuring smile as if telling him that everything would just be fine.
