"Sometime later, I collapsed again. And that time, I know I couldn't get up, no matter what I did. I rolled against the sand, and, and thrust my face into it. I wanted to be an animal, burying deep, deep down. I dug, trying to pull my body under, trying to reach the cool. But all my strength had sweated out of me. Everything had drained way. The sand had absorbed it all. I lay there, half-buried in the grains. I closed my eyes against the sun and sank down."
Gemma threatened Ty for the car keys, and escaped. But the car got stuck, and started sinking into the sand. Gemma stayed next to the car for a night and started walking the next day; but she was completely lost in the desert. She started walking early in the morning, when it was still cool outside, but it got hotter and hotter, she ran out of water, and had no other supplies that could help her. As it got hotter she lost more water from her body and started getting sunburns. She fell and couldn't get up again so she started crawling. After a while she collapsed. Will she die, or will Ty save her?
