Opening Pandora’s Box

On page six of the proposal, with hero and heroine facing a nasty, nasty dilemma: they can either work for the vile chap who holds them hostage, creating a subtle, evil weapon they know will be used against their own people, and hoping that they’ll have the opportunity to turn it against their captor before he can sell it; or they can die. Right now. Messily.

In the plus column, they have access to a rangy, ratty mutt, and they have each other.

In the minus column, they can’t stand each other.
