Onboard the Gut wrencher everyone held on for dear life as the speed continuously intensified. they had been freed from their seating but still were in a perilous situation.
"We are all going to die!" Screamed a young girl who had tears streaming down her face. She gripped onto her seat as she shook uncontrollably. It became clear to everyone that death was their likely outcome. What made it worse was that even though the safety harness had previously trapped them, at the very least they didn't have to endure this feeling as though they could fly from the ride at any time.
"Why did you give us hope!" One woman shouted hatefully while pointing at Jamie. He was now the outlet for all their frustration. It was not only the woman who shared these sentiments but others who began chiming in.
Some even came up with mind-boggling theories, "This might have been a prank the whole time. Perhaps there are cameras everywhere capturing everything. And you two had to act like your heroes. Who do you think you are, Cosmic Man?" Another teen screamed angrily while the other passengers looked suspiciously at the pre-installed cameras.
With every word they spoke Shaun could not believe what he was hearing. His hand formed into a fist while he shook in rage. The last straw was what he heard from a father of two who moments before was pleading for them to lift the safety harness from his son, "Maybe they're in cahoots with the psychopath that rigged the ride and this is their sick means of enjoying the action. Firsthand view." In mere moments they hand turned from being grateful to villainizing the brothers.
Finally, Shaun had enough, he used the shifting movements of the Gut Wrencher to launch himself at the middle-aged man who once again was between speech – "SHUT! UP! – His fist smashed into the man whose face warped while his jaw was shattered by the sheer force of the punch. But soon he regretted it, the man was set flying off the Gut Wrencher screaming as he appeared to plunge to his death.
"No! No!" – Shaun yelled as he tried to grab the man, but he was too late. He then heard frightful voices uttering, "You.., you Killed him.." They all subconsciously shifted locations moving as far as possible from him while the man's son screamed.
"I didn't mean to..!" He looked to Jamie for some assurance, who did just that when he pointed at an acute angle below where there was a small platform nearly hidden from view. Shaun hurried to look and there was the man, his feet were broken, as well as one of his arms. He looked like he fought with a grater, but he was alive which was obvious by the anguishing screams. Even the others onboard heard his cries realizing he had lived, that must have been a one in a million chance of survival. Few seconds prior, Spec had vanished from Lucy's shoulder who was in such shock seeing someone plunging to his death she didn't even realize.
Jamie - "I guess you first me. I was going to simply throw him offboard, but your method had its merits." He acted in his usual nonchalant manner as though a man's life was not just in peril. It was like a mortician who ate while a corpse was before him. To everyone but Shaun, it sent shivers down their spines. They wondered if his reaction would be any different if the man was seen squished on the ground. As for Shaun, he didn't even realize, he was simply grateful that he had not committed murder as a sense of relief washed over him.
Jamie – "So, one safely rescued, thirteen to go. Now, help me with our heart patient. He'll be the easiest to get off." He uttered while hinting with the shifting of his head at the collapsed man. Arriving before the man, Jamie was impeded by his wife.
"You're planning to throw my husband off-board?" She was determined that Jamie would not get his way. However, Jamie being Jamie simply responded, "Yes indeed, that's what I intend to do".
Woman - "Over my dead body!"
Jamie couldn't care less about the woman's protesting, "Well if you're unlucky and don't survive the fall you might have your wish. A little Tip: Flay your arms. It lowers your odds of survival."
"Don't touch me!" She became hysterical when Jamie in a flash lifted her before unceremoniously moving with the momentum of the Gut Wrencher tossing her towards the small platform, where she smashed beside the man from before who was groaning in pain. She too was broken and battered but miraculously survived.
"I would move if I were you," She heard a voice say, only to see her husband being lifted by Shaun and Jamie. She hurriedly tried to crawl away but the pain and hindrance of her broken limbs, with the addition of internal injuries, made her appear like a snail.
Those on the tower looked on in disbelief at what they witnessed. Did someone get punched out of the Gut Wrencher? That might have been understandable seeing as emotions were all over the place. But then they witnessed as a man tossed a woman from the ride, she screamed and now the two had joined forces to throw what appeared to be an unconscious man off-board.
"They're fucking psychopaths!" Yelled one man out of fear. During this time Lucy was lost for words. 'Jamie!?' She uttered in her mind.

Jamie - "Now he'll perhaps be the luckiest. His body won't be as tense. We'll use the speed generated by the ride and just at the right moment, toss. Are you with me?"
Shaun - "You said sued but we're going to jail, aren't we?"
Jamie - "Perhaps, 'Nicolas'!" He winked at Shaun who became more relaxed as he saw the actions of his brother. Having gone through a plethora of emotions. From anxiety, fright, rage, and remorse. Perhaps calm would be next on the list.
Jamie - "One.., two and three!" The two brothers used the speed from the Gut Wrencher to toss the man overboard aiming for the platform where the other two survivors were.
