Bonnie's lying in a hospital bed, secured to it and semi drugged out, a tube down her nose hooked up to a machine.185Please respect copyright.PENANAaIvUkWiY8t
185Please respect copyright.PENANASVgwIhUK5P
The sun is up, but she doesn't know what time it is. There are no clocks. The door to the small, cramped, dull room opens. 185Please respect copyright.PENANAAek2ycCmun
185Please respect copyright.PENANAvSH7f8WM3l
General Peterson followed by Clara. They bring over a chair from the corner of the room, inching closer to Bonnie. 185Please respect copyright.PENANAjkkIZVhlEQ

"Okay, we'll talk then."185Please respect copyright.PENANArH3ZbvVj7c
185Please respect copyright.PENANAwcZCmDdZ0X
Clara looks nervous, but ultimatly says nothing. Is this what the term dirty cop means? General peterson isn't a cop, but you get the point.185Please respect copyright.PENANAdo1x4cTz8l

"Did RING hurt you, Bonnie? Your ID is a fake. We don't know who you are. Your photo has been circulated so maybe so family come forward, but if you could give us your name or a family member's at-least-"185Please respect copyright.PENANAFDd0ppb2Yp

185Please respect copyright.PENANA2RADLGfzlU
"They? RING?"185Please respect copyright.PENANApK5Cmert1k
185Please respect copyright.PENANA5aYjAW9UrL
"No! Not RING! They're not the only ones out there!" She yells, coughing from the pain of the tube down her throat.185Please respect copyright.PENANAW53gxB9p9n

"Yeah..."185Please respect copyright.PENANAWxoPzY1qNT

185Please respect copyright.PENANAMJAB06ckD6

"Yes."185Please respect copyright.PENANA9tFQ4epg56

Clara cuts her off. "That's enough. She needs a psychatrist. I'm not going to let you go any further!" Clara shooting to her feet.185Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ko10YfNXb
185Please respect copyright.PENANAYyQVA3buH3
"One moment, Bonnie."185Please respect copyright.PENANAp9bNs3Na7F
General Peterson dragging a protesting Clara out the room.185Please respect copyright.PENANAH5nnTrRzuN
185Please respect copyright.PENANA45B34vgPaD
"Don't hurt her!" Yells Bobby outside who Vincent is walking through the corridors. He sees General Peterson scolding Clara.185Please respect copyright.PENANAnBYHmcTkys
185Please respect copyright.PENANA3wemERUC4k
"Shut up." Vincent snarls, socking Bobby in the jaw one. He coughs, few rose petals escaping. White covered in blood which splat to the floor.185Please respect copyright.PENANAgNqyuYATdH
185Please respect copyright.PENANA1VjSdaJdHr
Clara looks horrified, taking a snap back. The Genereal lets go of her arm, she backs into someone turning around to see a young female with blonde hair.185Please respect copyright.PENANAuzquienHBj
185Please respect copyright.PENANAVdG4qRcwur
She immediatly gives Clara a hug. "It's okay, I'm right here. Things can get intense alot... I'm Allie."185Please respect copyright.PENANAfFxFbvNB00
185Please respect copyright.PENANAXPROlQ1MoP
"Clara."185Please respect copyright.PENANAGJVjh22tdB
185Please respect copyright.PENANAMZB6c2MsdU
"You're the police officer."185Please respect copyright.PENANA3vYZcN68Wm

"You...?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAKxv1Cq3pP6
185Please respect copyright.PENANAV1X4KOsMcF
"U.S Military."185Please respect copyright.PENANAMrUWX21FYU
185Please respect copyright.PENANA4zYhq7RzAf
"Allie..." Interjects another voice. Clara who's hugging Allie looks up to see another female. Short brown hair, brown eyes, pale skin with few freckles dressed in a pink sweatshirt, grey track pants and white joggers. 185Please respect copyright.PENANAdSp9QkWp8o
185Please respect copyright.PENANA7lWrzVYzks
"Oh, shit." Bobby says. 185Please respect copyright.PENANA3QelrWkuuf

185Please respect copyright.PENANAl4EYbnDue2
"Where's Maxis?"185Please respect copyright.PENANALDKQjfZBDV
185Please respect copyright.PENANA1urUYV5IFW
"Kiera, you need to go back to your room, okay? Everything is a little chaotic right now."185Please respect copyright.PENANAl7EJ8U0AtG
185Please respect copyright.PENANANNcIrykcYi
"Then why you'd bring me?!"185Please respect copyright.PENANAO2mnyg587d
185Please respect copyright.PENANAsJTk6Ujgrg
"We couldn't exactly leave you. You would have never stayed while we weren't present. It would have put you and other staff on edge with eachother. It's easier to just bring you with us."185Please respect copyright.PENANAXs1LkHVHS9
185Please respect copyright.PENANAWBmEK1LF97
"Kiera Bailey. Return to your room, that's an order. Maxis will be back soon." General Peterson speaks up.185Please respect copyright.PENANAfO2HEKJKUr
185Please respect copyright.PENANAWzXGzBDGPv
"Do you want me to go with her?" Clara asks unsure. "If you could that would be great. Just be nice and gentle with her. If she gives you any trouble, ask for help from someone around here." Allie thanks her.185Please respect copyright.PENANAVLjAyaldyL
185Please respect copyright.PENANArcsoGffbF3
Clara takes a step forward holding her hand out to Kiera. Kiera reaches forward and they walk off together.185Please respect copyright.PENANATO2dWbMHzU
185Please respect copyright.PENANAUJB6DSNxoG
"I'm still confused. Her and Maxis get out of the hospital for Hanahaki. Is Kiera a prisoner or is she discharged and free to go after us finding out her real identity as well?" Vincent begins.185Please respect copyright.PENANAchWr96fV88
185Please respect copyright.PENANAcyasmAgpAs
"Vincent, it's not that easy to sort out. Just drop it for now, there's alot of work to be done. Take Bobby where he needs to go."185Please respect copyright.PENANAIZe7hetzur
185Please respect copyright.PENANAaUi5E4lklj

"Woah." Elliot says looking up at their surroundings as Nadine pushes open the door. "This is yours?!"185Please respect copyright.PENANA4Q3RbNUWhq
185Please respect copyright.PENANASLPX4SsJYg
"It is, a safe house of mine. I rarely use it." Kaylee responds. It's a two story holiday villa overlooking the beach.185Please respect copyright.PENANAoZ4DXXtszb
185Please respect copyright.PENANACGT730JWNo
"Just don't touch any big bright red buttons on remotes."185Please respect copyright.PENANA5KprGhzhY3
185Please respect copyright.PENANAyoJoCVhrKp
"So, touch big bright red buttons. Got it." Elliot laughs, Levi breaking into laughter and Elliot wrapping his arm around Levi's shoulders. "Ugh, boys never learn!" Nadine complains.185Please respect copyright.PENANAQo5NQZDmYT
185Please respect copyright.PENANA5hHSZ9ObFT
"No, they don't. Once a boy, always a boy. They don't grow up. Ever." Kaylee smiles, laughing a little. "Come on, let's settle in, make some lunch and then we talk about what we're going to do. We can't run from the U.S and Canadian law enforcement forever."185Please respect copyright.PENANAu5OQeV6BjX
185Please respect copyright.PENANARi7rxG7ZIu
"I... I actually kinda miss my older sister right now. But boy, would she have some choice words for me..." Nadine trails off.185Please respect copyright.PENANAHIoDMpG5GB
185Please respect copyright.PENANAMMtyiXv678
Our group head upstairs, Nadine actually choosing to room with Elliot. Levi and Kaylee choosing seperate, individual rooms. "Uh, so..." Elliot begins when Nadine makes a beeline for the ensuite, running in and slamming the door, locking it. Elliot stands at it, just looking.185Please respect copyright.PENANA8mRrQmVcUd
185Please respect copyright.PENANA4Jxalagxwy
He takes a deep breath in and heads for the bed, sitting down, looking at his hands.185Please respect copyright.PENANAkXyb7ugW21
185Please respect copyright.PENANAxc6JHJL92I
They aren't physically blood stained, but he just took a life. He ran over one of his own. 185Please respect copyright.PENANAwzJC4qXUEm
185Please respect copyright.PENANA2Q7GdKOasA
Actually, his proably off the team at this point. His for sure going to jail. He sees a mirror sitting on a bedside table and reaches for it, tumbling off the bed. He holds his neck as far back as he can, tongue out looking in his mouth. 185Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ2dACZ0r9
185Please respect copyright.PENANAHoSDaDv3sA
He doesn't see any roses of any color. Maybe his offically overcome it after bouncing around time?185Please respect copyright.PENANAlrYELvZYXH
185Please respect copyright.PENANAOBW88wXBea
"Are you okay?" Says a small voice. "Sorry, I should have knocked!"185Please respect copyright.PENANAZB79LKOrGh
185Please respect copyright.PENANAxf5GnmTbPs
It's Levi. "Levi-"185Please respect copyright.PENANAnWNuxSFfii
185Please respect copyright.PENANAQwPLTig1nR
Levi looks anxious. "Levi, we're not going to hurt you. RING has fallen. You're free to leave if you want to go."185Please respect copyright.PENANAFanqnL27wG
185Please respect copyright.PENANAmigpq1PvSJ
"Where would I go? This is... Nadine said it's Canada."185Please respect copyright.PENANAavWaCagwP3
185Please respect copyright.PENANAh1a43GLkDG
"Oh, right. Uh, you used to work for a delivery company in the U.S. Vicent was your partner, I know him...
Alot has changed... since RING took you..."185Please respect copyright.PENANAB2v4UYMzgZ
185Please respect copyright.PENANARcUzEul9or
Levi cups a hand over his own mouth and nose, looking very anxious. RING messed him up. Was he still on the harvest list? This timeline is a few months earlier. He'll have to ask Nadine, if she will even tell him...185Please respect copyright.PENANA9KjdkTJi3i
185Please respect copyright.PENANAV6e1ODQGkg
"Levi." He says taking both his hands. Levi's now on the verge of tears. 185Please respect copyright.PENANAL6eV3cBrH0
185Please respect copyright.PENANARD3H5PthDU
"I promise everything will be okay. I'll do everything I can to get you back to the U.S. To Vincent even. Would you like that?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAw5UF18gz4w
185Please respect copyright.PENANAky0rmSyb0E
He nods tearfully.185Please respect copyright.PENANAQVgBQAm5N9

"Do you want to get some sleep? When was the last time you had a good nights rest?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAI9ZQOvNv4I

"Lunch won't be for a little while."185Please respect copyright.PENANAklz573lEYl
185Please respect copyright.PENANAH0KRSlQruS
"Can you stand outside the room?"185Please respect copyright.PENANA64n47i0ZCP
185Please respect copyright.PENANAzfFwiYEmbm
"Sure, bud!"185Please respect copyright.PENANAt3bTHqPZZS
185Please respect copyright.PENANAuaRxjyj8qt
And he follows Levi who's clinging to him and is stuck standing outside Levi's room. 185Please respect copyright.PENANAmFOHB1JOno
185Please respect copyright.PENANA6fMMFSjRHk
Nadine's showering, and Kaylee hasn't come out of her room. The door is locked. Is she thinking? Decompressing?185Please respect copyright.PENANAyFVZDqSCHl

185Please respect copyright.PENANAm9Cj7gT6us
Kiera is laying in bed in their temporary home base. Maxis is opposite to her in another bed and across from them in other individual beds, Allie, Vincent, Thea and Adam. She can't sleep. 185Please respect copyright.PENANAyE4mL4NEYv
185Please respect copyright.PENANAAIVcW7Sofv
She sits up, everyone fast asleep. She stands, taking steps towards the door and pulls it up, a slight noisy click. Stepping out and pulling the door shut behind her, the corridor is sterile, bright, but empty. 185Please respect copyright.PENANAME36i6vVRx
185Please respect copyright.PENANA56TAgqdNR8
She looks at the watch on her wrist. 1 a.m to be exact. So much for expericing the hour between 12 and 1 a.m where time stands still. Guess it isn't real.185Please respect copyright.PENANA59zY1fuQCp
185Please respect copyright.PENANAzoDCXdO76b
She wanders along the corridor. Just door after door. Canada's HQ is identical and like a maze. How long before they can go back home to the U.S?185Please respect copyright.PENANAr64sVomV76
185Please respect copyright.PENANA1gb5lLBA8m
She eventually takes a seat on a plastic bench, shoulders slumped over again.185Please respect copyright.PENANAs0OJUbKFEy
185Please respect copyright.PENANAyE3JYU9rOH
"Hello there again."185Please respect copyright.PENANAE045BXyUPN
185Please respect copyright.PENANADd2GtRldTS
It's Clara and she takes a seat beside Kiera. "Can't sleep?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAYCwUj1YT4J
185Please respect copyright.PENANAsJOMGtAp3p
Kiera shakes her head. 185Please respect copyright.PENANAUyvRZ8RGLu
185Please respect copyright.PENANA5C8Zz9TEvT
"Neither can I."185Please respect copyright.PENANAkpWQtZNIZJ
185Please respect copyright.PENANARf9LI8RLxh
Kiera gives her a look. 185Please respect copyright.PENANAkOAYYW7Zat
185Please respect copyright.PENANAPhoE41Sxtw
"Uh, yeah, um, Bobby is actually my fiance. Well, ex. I can't marry him after everything that has happened..."185Please respect copyright.PENANA9zApx4AbDb
185Please respect copyright.PENANAB5LTihYuB0
"......"185Please respect copyright.PENANADl3ZCcxFva
185Please respect copyright.PENANAsZmtB81XqB
"Kiera. When RING held your prisoner. What was Bobby like? How did he treat you?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAp4cmb6lLTe
185Please respect copyright.PENANAVPdrTRKXRU
"I could tell you how Nadine May treated me, Bonnie too. I don't think Bobby worked there when I was there."185Please respect copyright.PENANATgREHvIZAh
185Please respect copyright.PENANA4QmKCjse6h
"Really?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAhOxbtJu1L2
185Please respect copyright.PENANAgfRn4NIvRa
"Clara. I blocked alot of what happened there out and I don't know want it to come back. My life is over. A part of me died the day they snatched me off the streets and now I'm just a empty husk. 185Please respect copyright.PENANAq5fdlvPRGD
185Please respect copyright.PENANAbhpQ2XL3kB
I'm as good as dead now. My career in the U.S Military is over. They're going to medically discharge me, but I'm not free to go at the same time.185Please respect copyright.PENANAixeLBhxX4V
185Please respect copyright.PENANA8ci6KFf1kd
My life isn't mine anymore." 185Please respect copyright.PENANAmGzMuTI5HJ
185Please respect copyright.PENANAjdDeSfCNmJ
And she bends over crying. 185Please respect copyright.PENANAjA1TiTLbM4
185Please respect copyright.PENANA1wgJ6etHkQ
"Aw, Kiera. That's not true. You can still make something of it, your friends aren't going to ditch you. Things will be complicated for a while, sure, but-"185Please respect copyright.PENANAnpbv15xguU
185Please respect copyright.PENANAIlSUbJkNlu
"At the momemt, I just want to go back to the U.S. Did you know I had a younger brother?185Please respect copyright.PENANANMbFRWNBE7
185Please respect copyright.PENANAyQQxYV1mRr
Turns out I do."185Please respect copyright.PENANABPEeUnDhrb
185Please respect copyright.PENANAMSp71GU6Vw
"Do you want to see him?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAFjAMkKZoQi
185Please respect copyright.PENANAwyLHdDvdIg
"I've already met him once. It was to much at the time. He has parents and a older sister. He got adopted in the U.S while I aged out the foster care system here in Canada. There's no room for me. I don't know anything about him and I couldn't have a relationship."185Please respect copyright.PENANAvC4DqDbsNx
185Please respect copyright.PENANAhWNpeXTvck
"Maybe it's less about trying to insert yourself and a relationship, it's that you have never felt like you have belonged anywhere before, Kiera."185Please respect copyright.PENANA8FutFf1RGi
185Please respect copyright.PENANAWF37MUG3Bm
"I don't know."185Please respect copyright.PENANA8GiTY6FriT
185Please respect copyright.PENANA26QbQa2MrM
"There you are, Kiera!"185Please respect copyright.PENANAjobYtTWwmq
185Please respect copyright.PENANA87vN9kZSlo
They look up to see Maxis, General Peterson standing behind him. He runs up to Kiera and guides her back to their dormitory. "What happened?" Peterson asks.185Please respect copyright.PENANAvXuYk6O7oh
185Please respect copyright.PENANA5iHoDzNa7n
"Uh, I think she is now thinking about her biological younger brother and if she has a place anywhere as her life has never really been her own nor a place to call home."185Please respect copyright.PENANAR83DBMnD29
185Please respect copyright.PENANAqlGODQdMVP
"I see, I could arrange a meeting, a 2nd one. But Kade would need to agree to it. He might decide he doesn't want to see her after the ordeal he went through. Though telling him their Dad, Johnthan Bailey is in custody and we're tracking down Kaylee might persuade him so he feels safe enough to leave his house after the ordeal he went through."
Clara nods her head.185Please respect copyright.PENANA6UpdhrKtSn

He wakes up, Nadine in his face, awake. He sits up. "Yeah?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAoQtKa4mvVk
185Please respect copyright.PENANAxf5cJLY27Q
She is sitting up in bed. He sits up, looking at the clock on the wall. 1 a.m185Please respect copyright.PENANAkFhCP1Sofv
185Please respect copyright.PENANAWoDCTnvotJ
"Can't sleep?" He asks.185Please respect copyright.PENANAYPrfT85j1f

A shaky breath passes Elliot's lips. Last time, Nadine did try to take her life. 185Please respect copyright.PENANA3tdgs7PyHf
185Please respect copyright.PENANA1YiMxqlH29
"Please promise you won't!" He begs, taking her hands in his and lowers his head into her chest, tears streaming down his face. 185Please respect copyright.PENANABK5kHYepeQ
185Please respect copyright.PENANAjbBCpzacPD
He may not be able to be with her, but it won't stop him loving her. His feelings are real. 185Please respect copyright.PENANAHK9aKUFZeM
185Please respect copyright.PENANAZoPgZqXRWk

"Will you hate me if I say I'm glad?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAEuIjjzyDoy
185Please respect copyright.PENANA1UVPaECXzq
"No. I and my friends have hurt so many people over the years. It's unforgiveable and it was actually getting to the point, I wasn't going to be able to live with myself much longer. 185Please respect copyright.PENANA5889WG81JA
185Please respect copyright.PENANApxrhjuwgS1
We're our own worst enemy."185Please respect copyright.PENANAWVTJtp4IJE

185Please respect copyright.PENANAzeMHRl3AUX
"What did she tell you?"185Please respect copyright.PENANA5zUYs8ZTat
185Please respect copyright.PENANAxxpPzzRnpK

185Please respect copyright.PENANADc8FG7oQ1A
"Do you believe her?"185Please respect copyright.PENANA0t58Nqm775

185Please respect copyright.PENANAYkt2deyHSX
"Who am I. My old sister raised me, we're here illegally. Our visas ran out years ago, I'm from Russia, but I barely remember it. I know everything about it while my sister rejected it, our parents are in hospital dying here. We're in debt.185Please respect copyright.PENANAp0q1M7VLGu
185Please respect copyright.PENANArfMp7Dm9rb
It's only a matter of time before the goverment catches us and sends us back to Russia. Working for RING, they we're going to create me a whole new identity. 185Please respect copyright.PENANAUGjOIN4aYx
185Please respect copyright.PENANAVYGHBBp2Cd
There was a girl, her name was Kiera Bailey. I was meant to watch her and I lost her and my opportunity to no longer have to hide from the goverment."185Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6YCF45U6z
185Please respect copyright.PENANAwEl9HP7cFz
"Kiera is actually back home in the U.S. She travelled miles and ended up on our base a few miles out on some beach."185Please respect copyright.PENANA5RVn8TtsV7
185Please respect copyright.PENANAOClrzxWZy4
She looks up at him. "What?"185Please respect copyright.PENANACzCbKqA0Zt
185Please respect copyright.PENANA9NevCegVWo
"She's on the team I'm on."185Please respect copyright.PENANA3xtTo8sUdM

185Please respect copyright.PENANARmSHwEmRoQ
"I'm sleep deprived, stressed, Elliot and don't know how to get out of this mess I'm in. Good luck to her for ending up there I guess. 185Please respect copyright.PENANA1aN6F2A4Jf
185Please respect copyright.PENANAXJxr9t7gHe
Like I said, RING is no more now. I never wanted to hurt her or anyone anyway."185Please respect copyright.PENANA8RY8ioKs17
185Please respect copyright.PENANADOBPCoOtQZ
"What can I do to make it better for you?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAv69Qy6WCqv
185Please respect copyright.PENANAx8Hf3QEOld
"There's nothing."185Please respect copyright.PENANAawtlqpjzkB
185Please respect copyright.PENANAxaVgcdrwOD
"How about I take you to see your parents?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAAVgOyWrHgK
185Please respect copyright.PENANA7BGItSVcrg
"Goodnight, Elliot." And she lay's back down to sleep, back to him. 185Please respect copyright.PENANARdRRkCWDNb

"......"185Please respect copyright.PENANAv9Iss6VYOr
185Please respect copyright.PENANA1m5K9lSEyE
He lays back down to, staring up at the ceiling. How are Kiera and Maxis? Soon enough he falls back to sleep. The house is quiet, Kaylee fast asleep in her bed except for one, Levi. 185Please respect copyright.PENANAayBXJmGzEB
185Please respect copyright.PENANAExFpiCX4XE
He gently opens his door, peering out. Dressed for the cold weather outside, backpack on his back and holding his shoes in his hands so walking down the hallway doesn't make to much noise. He slips out of the house, and it's early morning. The sun only just coming up. 185Please respect copyright.PENANAIHNtGGzBmQ
185Please respect copyright.PENANApx8VT2oDce
Snow covers the place, and it's cold, but he can still see the beach, even if it is semi-covered in snow. When was the last time he was outside, breathing in the fresh air?185Please respect copyright.PENANA2GRQxRaWuO
185Please respect copyright.PENANATTxu0w1vri
He can't remember, he was trapped inside for years, all he saw was four walls and cemement floor, steel staircases every single day. He drops his shoes, slipping his feet in, clumbsily tying them up and then he runs.185Please respect copyright.PENANATRLKotdxFJ
185Please respect copyright.PENANAcEJVUDLyAU
He makes it to a phone booth, few blocks away near a gas station. Hopefully he hasn't changed his number.... he stole a few coins from Nadine and Kaylee during the day when they weren't looking. He inserts a coin and dials, a mobile number. 185Please respect copyright.PENANA9PpqMWJKRR
185Please respect copyright.PENANA1DEvHCzs7T
"Hello?" Says a sleepy sounding voice. 185Please respect copyright.PENANAcpIyLuxRLP

Levi takes a deep breath in, struggling to find the words. 185Please respect copyright.PENANARGJy6QJvUx

"Hello?" The sleepy voice repeats.185Please respect copyright.PENANAXCcdmhlk45

"V-Vincent..." Levi whispers. 185Please respect copyright.PENANAMzcubCtWlo
185Please respect copyright.PENANAuyKLi0Fi8Z
"Who's asking?" Vincent snaps back, now a little more away, his attention now captured.185Please respect copyright.PENANAnYi4Qi0GWh

Just drop it and RUN."185Please respect copyright.PENANAIYSeN4KcPQ
185Please respect copyright.PENANAEWs11Tyxia
Vincent hears the phone drop and the sound of squelching snow. He climbs out of bed and is shaking Allie away.185Please respect copyright.PENANAb3sjprXgFw
185Please respect copyright.PENANAQRcmrisfTv
She sits up annoyed. "Get up, wake the others. I'm going to get General Peterson, there is a solid lead on Elliot."185Please respect copyright.PENANA8vvDQUiQZQ

Levi is lying on a table at a booth inside the gas station, backpack beside him, watching the fan above him circulate when he hears footsteps on the tile floor.185Please respect copyright.PENANAzjeRndzy3w
185Please respect copyright.PENANAyjydykT3lF
"Levi Preston?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAerRfFuygQA
185Please respect copyright.PENANA1dxDNcDTke
He looks up to see standing at the head of the table is a group of people. An older man with grey hair and a beard, a female with short blonde hair, another girl with short brown hair, a guy with sleaked back brown hair on the light brown caramel color spectrumn and Vincent. 185Please respect copyright.PENANASAEsrTMMpn
185Please respect copyright.PENANAVPTa25z1wI
"Do you have I.D to confirm your identity?" The older grey haired man asks. Levi shakes his head, saying nothing. 185Please respect copyright.PENANAC9PvGK5BsL
185Please respect copyright.PENANAtWr9zoUvu7
"Can you get up off the table, please?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAxLNANCZqf3
185Please respect copyright.PENANA6HggYUPB8c
Levi sits up and Vincent helps him down, he weights practically nothing, skinny while Vicent is taller than he remembers and beefed up. 185Please respect copyright.PENANAf3ng2ZWiEF
185Please respect copyright.PENANAeNjlUP2luO
"It's you, bud." Vincent finally speaks. 185Please respect copyright.PENANAZHjTDXDyMw
185Please respect copyright.PENANAxSTIwDOgMR
"My understanding is you're a former friend and colleague of Vincent here. Why are you here and where is Elliot Coleman?" The grey haired man demands.185Please respect copyright.PENANAeJSyWfgdJt
185Please respect copyright.PENANAEmXjslwjry
"That's my... boss. Genereal Peterson." Vincent whispers and then Levi realizes, everyone is wearing camo, they're military.185Please respect copyright.PENANAHJPkSE3bhx
185Please respect copyright.PENANAJbiYar4sJc
"It's complicated."185Please respect copyright.PENANAfXEaz9V7rM

"5 a.m." The caramel haired man speaks up, and the brown haired female starts to cling to him. He holds her close and the blonde female rubs the brunette's back.185Please respect copyright.PENANAn1bht5Abf8
185Please respect copyright.PENANAISRRwcwwvg
"Fine, have it your way." General Peterson snaps, pulling out handcuffs. "Wait, wait, wait!" Vincent begs, Levi on the brink of tears. 185Please respect copyright.PENANAC29mgZmNk0
185Please respect copyright.PENANAO4iFYj4bBL
He places his hands on Levi's shoulders. "Yes or no. We're you kidnapped off the street by a human trafficking company called RING. The employees would have worn blue and had rings that we're a snake eating it's own tail."185Please respect copyright.PENANAQpwPxA2o5V

185Please respect copyright.PENANASrtpurjjq2
They sent me back upstairs, the supervisor with blonde hair, she told me next week, Wednesday. I came back up, I don't know why. 185Please respect copyright.PENANAaQCWmnSPJw
185Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1WBMZAv34
I was going to beg them not to send me down there again, but I didn't get around to grovelling. I knew some dirt where someone was hiding my food, I was going to report that if it helped in not having to go back downstairs-"185Please respect copyright.PENANAogiEhBeqGe
185Please respect copyright.PENANAqB1aU3WTQx
General Peterson cuts him off, holding out a photo from the police department. "Is this the Supervisor?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAUfPz3jdz9s
