Match Maker

"You're getting what?!" Phil hollered, releasing from the hug.

"Cold. I'm freezing." She said calmly.

"Well, you... you have my jacket." He stammered.

"Phil. You remember what you said earlier," She began, almost able to see the moisture, dumping from Phil's face. "about how two people, were supposed to keep warm, in a messy situation like this?"

"Oh. Oh yeah. Yeah I remember that. I was only kidding. I didn't actually want to have sex with you. That would be awesome though, but like, not now."

"Well, you said 'now' seconds ago. It's 'later.'" Keely remarked, seductively pulling him closer. She rested a tender kiss against his lips, while clutching his tee at the chest.

"Are you having fun?"

"What?" Keely said confused.

"I didn't say anything."He shot back.

"Well what was that?"

"I don't know." Phil said, as he gestured Keely to 'follow.'

She walked slowly behind him, and looked all around her. Doors to doors, and floors to ceiling. She saw no one, but it was possible the voice could be him. That psychotic, bemused, nut case that's keeping them there.

"It was him, Phil." She let out.

"Dammit! That guy is a psychopath!" Phil howled. "You hear me! Let us out, you lunatic!"

"I hear you." Said the calm voice.

"Get us out of here, now! Or so help me I'll-"

"I mean no harm to you." John said.

"Then why? Why are we here?!"

"Phil calm down. Yelling won't help."

"Don't tell me to calm down, just get me out." Phil said this time in a calmer manner.

"Phil, just listen to what he has to say. Maybe he'll let us go." Keely whispered.

"Your reasoning for being in The Maze, is simple. My bomb shall activate as soon as you mate." John said.

"Excuse me?" Keely questioned.

"I have the means to destroy the earth, and everyone in it. I chose the two of you to be in the only place on earth that is currently safe. You will re-populate, once everyone else is gone."

"Are you out of your mind?!" Phil shouted questionably.

"Maybe, Mr. Diffy. Maybe." John said.

"You must be loopy, if you think I'm gonna- you know, with him." Keely made it clear that she had no intentions of sleeping with Phil, even though she may have put herself out there, just a bit.

Phil gave a pensive frown, and sighed out nimbly, at the thought of it. Was she really trying to torment him? Or maybe, it's just the way it'll end up.

"No offense, though, Phil." She said securefully.

Phil just nodded in agreement.

"Listen I wasn't going to hurt you two, but I hadn't endorsed the struggle I'm having to deal with now." John asserted.

John came out from behind a dark wooden door, making himself known. He took a step toward Keely, as if he were going to clutch her arm.

"Don't you lay a hand on her!" Phil ascended in front of Keely. John stopped in his tracks, and held his hands up in front of his chest, as to show remorse.

Phil sneered vigorously.

He'd perceived that John was an evil man. His looks said it all. The dark, slicked back hair. A black pinstripe suit, with a Fedora to match. Phil had thought Capones were more his type, but whatever. He also noticed the dark glum look trapped in his eyes. The torture he must have faced, stuck out like a sore thumb. With the previously stitched, now scared, line that was drilled across his face, from his left ear to his lower lip. He was missing a finger, on his right hand. It had appeared to have been severed off. His entire body just screamed: killer.

"Since I'm such a nice guy, I think I'll offer you kids a deal." John put forth.

Phil and Keely looked nerously at eachother. "We're listening." They announced in unison.

"Ms. Teslow, would you like to continue your perfect life here on earth?" John urged.

"Stupid question."

"Good. Then choose. Be the next Jack and Jill with Mr. Diffy here, or Let him die while I leave the rest of the earth alive." He conveyed. "Please. Take your time. I've got all night."

Keely smiled at first thinking it was an easy choice. Phil got the wrong impression instantly, and walked away irrationally.
