Crystal felt very tired. She wanted to hit Eric, but all she could do was nod her head. She promised him her loyalty, but she was reluctant. She was only doing it in exchange for the lives of Carlos and Noah.
When Eric saw how tired she was and that her eyes were red and swollen from crying, he decided to stop pestering her. He smiled at her and said, "Why don't you call the apartment and have a servant send Clark and Noah out. We are almost there."

Noah's pain was enormous, and it never let up. He was seldom hungry, and when he did eat, he threw the food up half the time. Thus, he had lost a lot of weight in a short amount of time, and he appeared haggard. He was lethargic and out of shape, and he was so weak that he could not get out of bed to meet Crystal. Not knowing what else to do, he asked one of the servants to contact Vic and ask for help.
