Bonnie's lying in a hospital bed, secured to it and semi drugged out, a tube down her nose hooked up to a machine.262Please respect copyright.PENANANPguXJO8M9
262Please respect copyright.PENANAfIdXYOaYqb
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. 262Please respect copyright.PENANACMcklPMcPo
262Please respect copyright.PENANAsFfEwkv8PF
General Peterson followed by Clara. They bring over a chair from the corner of the room, inching closer to Bonnie. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAsYFNpiyrHP
262Please respect copyright.PENANACP5SBOL4cK
"Morning, Bonnie." General Peterson says.262Please respect copyright.PENANAAa6yf1ij3f

"Do you know why you're here?"262Please respect copyright.PENANAPDsYcVrT1D

"Okay, we'll talk then."262Please respect copyright.PENANAMzmEw65w7q
262Please respect copyright.PENANAkb2O7u6UWS
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.262Please respect copyright.PENANAHf9yxnwn1Y

"Your blood tests indicated you had Merge in your system, and a variety of other drugs to."262Please respect copyright.PENANAWYSgkRrkc1

262Please respect copyright.PENANAyeYQZVrxad
"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-"262Please respect copyright.PENANAIlBOcmggGv
262Please respect copyright.PENANAW9ViOpUUW0
"Bonnie Desmond."262Please respect copyright.PENANAJAyROCUz67

He sighs, she's stone walling him from the get go. "What are you going to do to me?" She asks.262Please respect copyright.PENANAH5CL2ptNLQ
262Please respect copyright.PENANAchGXp337lX
"Uh, Canada's extriditing all non-canadian citzens to the U.S so you will be transported sometime in the coming days.262Please respect copyright.PENANA0LlMuDyV9G
262Please respect copyright.PENANA4LfMXf6vG4

262Please respect copyright.PENANAY5ukx2L9pE
"They? RING?"262Please respect copyright.PENANAWvLhpOVAQQ
262Please respect copyright.PENANAu7SuQZNivU
"No! Not RING! They're not the only ones out there!" She yells, coughing from the pain of the tube down her throat.262Please respect copyright.PENANAsVgeChNrsE
262Please respect copyright.PENANARBoNkceQgk

262Please respect copyright.PENANAXQMCLPee8a
Did you ask RING for continued Merge? To forget stuff you'd rather not remember?"262Please respect copyright.PENANACqegiXmAEe
262Please respect copyright.PENANArzZkOKmTwz
"Yeah..."262Please respect copyright.PENANAbHYSPSxqhf
262Please respect copyright.PENANARfGOv34vv4
"Bonnie. You also had an eye test yesterday. Do you remember that? The glasses you wear, you don't actually need them. The lenses in it is fake. Why do you wear it?"262Please respect copyright.PENANAECiTYHUbe8
262Please respect copyright.PENANAdcu8XhqHsE
"I can see?"262Please respect copyright.PENANA0nnMwWGDqD

"Yes."262Please respect copyright.PENANATIX1qUzydi
262Please respect copyright.PENANArkj9p5n6CG

"No, he was one. He actually had powers-"262Please respect copyright.PENANAOHpoDrGBSI
262Please respect copyright.PENANA6j8YMH7DWU
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.262Please respect copyright.PENANAn9OCCqfOa2
262Please respect copyright.PENANARPS6o6enPp
"One moment, Bonnie."262Please respect copyright.PENANAVPQjmyqaHz
General Peterson dragging a protesting Clara out the room.262Please respect copyright.PENANATCFr9BPnAQ
262Please respect copyright.PENANA8cXS9W7SHz
"Don't hurt her!" Yells Bobby outside who Vincent is walking through the corridors. He sees General Peterson scolding Clara.262Please respect copyright.PENANAYk6oI7u2Gw
262Please respect copyright.PENANARWMT9xfOit
"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.262Please respect copyright.PENANARIlLemJkEu
262Please respect copyright.PENANAVvAm0dDyXn
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.262Please respect copyright.PENANATGsLNgOdXG
262Please respect copyright.PENANAAsp6Fw4np6
She immediatly gives Clara a hug. "It's okay, I'm right here. Things can get intense alot... I'm Allie."262Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5TZ2OySNC
262Please respect copyright.PENANAeN1jtAAGE8
"Clara."262Please respect copyright.PENANA687gqrb5Ki
262Please respect copyright.PENANA1mNWPgCyyf
"You're the police officer."262Please respect copyright.PENANA5sIXhx6gCN
262Please respect copyright.PENANARYvtblP4jI
"You...?"262Please respect copyright.PENANAjbv4GPbwuS
262Please respect copyright.PENANAQlUUaVhpng
"U.S Military."262Please respect copyright.PENANASD79QLcGHQ
262Please respect copyright.PENANABVhchnMeer
"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. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAwI7KnCJp2M
262Please respect copyright.PENANAlSmcJAKq6F
"Oh, shit." Bobby says. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAbvgxDVhsrv
262Please respect copyright.PENANAsZoHqphUe6
"Kiera-" Allie speaking up. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAkRcMpt7HTX
262Please respect copyright.PENANAFyJUu9I9AL
"Where's Maxis?"262Please respect copyright.PENANAiBSQ90bj26
262Please respect copyright.PENANAuNbzCAGRb8
"Kiera, you need to go back to your room, okay? Everything is a little chaotic right now."262Please respect copyright.PENANAseu4Wz7Ihj
262Please respect copyright.PENANAhxY9mM8XeN
"Then why you'd bring me?!"262Please respect copyright.PENANAttkJ4DAw3c
262Please respect copyright.PENANAOhkUaVBdJF
"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."262Please respect copyright.PENANAgQv9LhWZy7
262Please respect copyright.PENANAc1QaCaRmyj
"Kiera Bailey. Return to your room, that's an order. Maxis will be back soon." General Peterson speaks up.262Please respect copyright.PENANAXKjVwNpdR8
262Please respect copyright.PENANAwjGxNDxGYI
"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.262Please respect copyright.PENANAOaMzVhC2j3
262Please respect copyright.PENANAzsD2RtoJKJ
Clara takes a step forward holding her hand out to Kiera. Kiera reaches forward and they walk off together.262Please respect copyright.PENANAFuF0gJ2Wzb
262Please respect copyright.PENANAaws7Kkn5Il
"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.262Please respect copyright.PENANABIChXJlAzk
262Please respect copyright.PENANAE6oALk77UE
"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."262Please respect copyright.PENANAp0KvZqghNz
262Please respect copyright.PENANANyVDKyQU56

"Woah." Elliot says looking up at their surroundings as Nadine pushes open the door. "This is yours?!"262Please respect copyright.PENANAHzLUbBBs3T
262Please respect copyright.PENANAMtRTvtDgOK
"It is, a safe house of mine. I rarely use it." Kaylee responds. It's a two story holiday villa overlooking the beach.262Please respect copyright.PENANAMwoS0yVmGk
262Please respect copyright.PENANA7wFTvXetxd
"Just don't touch any big bright red buttons on remotes."262Please respect copyright.PENANA5mbZGgBs63
262Please respect copyright.PENANAfJ8WNhALCJ
"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.262Please respect copyright.PENANAY9E5HdaQkM
262Please respect copyright.PENANAyXKO3lMzBA
"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."262Please respect copyright.PENANAY1LLSr9HXn
262Please respect copyright.PENANAl5cf5XrCJ3
"I... I actually kinda miss my older sister right now. But boy, would she have some choice words for me..." Nadine trails off.262Please respect copyright.PENANAt3c3UoCkKz
262Please respect copyright.PENANAfjsxXVjqUX
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.262Please respect copyright.PENANAhBrVE2RmwH
262Please respect copyright.PENANAlop5bQxTvH
He takes a deep breath in and heads for the bed, sitting down, looking at his hands.262Please respect copyright.PENANAtQCHKvKOrS
262Please respect copyright.PENANAO1jv3Kq9mZ
They aren't physically blood stained, but he just took a life. He ran over one of his own. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAoEGqWnlLhI
262Please respect copyright.PENANA5JxWdBXkL9
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. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAgBAV5Jjh5c
262Please respect copyright.PENANAM717EcwvQO
He doesn't see any roses of any color. Maybe his offically overcome it after bouncing around time?262Please respect copyright.PENANAO4fD2Zp0NX
262Please respect copyright.PENANAfDm3A3xgSa
"Are you okay?" Says a small voice. "Sorry, I should have knocked!"262Please respect copyright.PENANAspS8Bcy68C
262Please respect copyright.PENANA5XEiDCcSRv
It's Levi. "Levi-"262Please respect copyright.PENANA2qHIevLu5B
262Please respect copyright.PENANAHBjU56ezNT
Levi looks anxious. "Levi, we're not going to hurt you. RING has fallen. You're free to leave if you want to go."262Please respect copyright.PENANAGW2SJrOrsg
262Please respect copyright.PENANAGeWcpRz49r
"Where would I go? This is... Nadine said it's Canada."262Please respect copyright.PENANAGgO7UstB6c
262Please respect copyright.PENANAycArHBp5Jj
"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..."262Please respect copyright.PENANAp7vYPNBLK2
262Please respect copyright.PENANAHd4eFY0Z71
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...262Please respect copyright.PENANAVbSvcuqKTn
262Please respect copyright.PENANA3ujqD8cj0l
"Levi." He says taking both his hands. Levi's now on the verge of tears. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAgJS6YA1g1V
262Please respect copyright.PENANAD0nhoWx4ao
"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?"262Please respect copyright.PENANA94oJJJA3D0
262Please respect copyright.PENANAik7CoXQyLV
He nods tearfully.262Please respect copyright.PENANAzsaWjveau6
262Please respect copyright.PENANAYRfQJEAkEO
"Do you want to get some sleep? When was the last time you had a good nights rest?"262Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ4xEqkPv1
262Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZQH8b6pc3
"....."262Please respect copyright.PENANAfJ2XzMtxPJ

"Lunch won't be for a little while."262Please respect copyright.PENANARBmCsNVGEv
262Please respect copyright.PENANAHoiCrp5Iob
"Can you stand outside the room?"262Please respect copyright.PENANAERAAn5qjDh
262Please respect copyright.PENANAevCjxJdEZo
"Sure, bud!"262Please respect copyright.PENANAYpq4vUTi6N
262Please respect copyright.PENANAtBHDjtFLmo
And he follows Levi who's clinging to him and is stuck standing outside Levi's room. 262Please respect copyright.PENANA9q2d9cUcem
262Please respect copyright.PENANA2aAK9cox6J
Nadine's showering, and Kaylee hasn't come out of her room. The door is locked. Is she thinking? Decompressing?262Please respect copyright.PENANAfcTQ7Y4nTz

262Please respect copyright.PENANAq4i3ochzNI
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. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAgBruBzkele
262Please respect copyright.PENANA2QdCs9B0nX
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. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAfxSlCsSIRE
262Please respect copyright.PENANAn5S02qGBOW
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.262Please respect copyright.PENANAU5tW4CrleS
262Please respect copyright.PENANAawaJAKclmh
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?262Please respect copyright.PENANAMjdrnaEN92
262Please respect copyright.PENANA701nw34UeL
She eventually takes a seat on a plastic bench, shoulders slumped over again.262Please respect copyright.PENANAeAhTaE3Bon
262Please respect copyright.PENANA10fNNuFv1D
"Hello there again."262Please respect copyright.PENANAxJ1ekYUDi2
262Please respect copyright.PENANAMvUgaxiLJp
It's Clara and she takes a seat beside Kiera. "Can't sleep?"262Please respect copyright.PENANAEhxPyqW085
262Please respect copyright.PENANApQksZUM09n
Kiera shakes her head. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAtC6Hpcqbjw
262Please respect copyright.PENANAC0QjK7paP9
"Neither can I."262Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4oYoQP0wR
262Please respect copyright.PENANAko1USWSCk1
Kiera gives her a look. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAVYl0Ozabc1
262Please respect copyright.PENANAEoH7qhD0q9
"Uh, yeah, um, Bobby is actually my fiance. Well, ex. I can't marry him after everything that has happened..."262Please respect copyright.PENANAaHOd4QffdD
262Please respect copyright.PENANAc6iGG7stbo
"......"262Please respect copyright.PENANADIkJjSoAWH
262Please respect copyright.PENANAOMh5dcbayC
"Kiera. When RING held your prisoner. What was Bobby like? How did he treat you?"262Please respect copyright.PENANAqdcTxApvPm
262Please respect copyright.PENANA8nwGaixVfL
"I could tell you how Nadine May treated me, Bonnie too. I don't think Bobby worked there when I was there."262Please respect copyright.PENANArzXj79QC6F
262Please respect copyright.PENANAL7hQKkPIFc
"Really?"262Please respect copyright.PENANAKlcjk9Wl9c
262Please respect copyright.PENANAjUYIu6DO0R
"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. 262Please respect copyright.PENANATjtBU74IDx
262Please respect copyright.PENANAFJM6IsYCE3
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.262Please respect copyright.PENANARxWOf7bosK
262Please respect copyright.PENANAmM3Yl19czo
My life isn't mine anymore." 262Please respect copyright.PENANA11O2yi46zZ
262Please respect copyright.PENANAG3NECUhjfK
And she bends over crying. 262Please respect copyright.PENANA7vP4HBO2v6
262Please respect copyright.PENANAOnsij5gqzp
"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-"262Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3FnUfYdCk
262Please respect copyright.PENANAxol05JomNG
"At the momemt, I just want to go back to the U.S. Did you know I had a younger brother?262Please respect copyright.PENANArcxRk2RjsQ
262Please respect copyright.PENANAAoZskVYp7P
Turns out I do."262Please respect copyright.PENANA1Z3Btutduq
262Please respect copyright.PENANAHoNANSl7cd
"Do you want to see him?"262Please respect copyright.PENANAFHFyjB86hw
262Please respect copyright.PENANABPMncDkCOf
"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."262Please respect copyright.PENANAtwj5WHP7wG
262Please respect copyright.PENANAVAZASmrQkz
"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."262Please respect copyright.PENANAdP86dk7u2j
262Please respect copyright.PENANABSKyXodTH4
"I don't know."262Please respect copyright.PENANAWv4at0l7wF
262Please respect copyright.PENANAi6tvWtyYoI
"There you are, Kiera!"262Please respect copyright.PENANAvEUomRwuAA
262Please respect copyright.PENANAiZeHBOs96Y
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.262Please respect copyright.PENANALpZUDXGkpf
262Please respect copyright.PENANAq6ucpJw8C0
"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."262Please respect copyright.PENANAQUEEz4MuOR
262Please respect copyright.PENANA71XHD098aw
"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.262Please respect copyright.PENANAonnq864mhI

"Elliot."262Please respect copyright.PENANARYD7IzSdUa
262Please respect copyright.PENANAz8h9FcPEzt
He wakes up, Nadine in his face, awake. He sits up. "Yeah?"262Please respect copyright.PENANAZAgoRf8ezw
262Please respect copyright.PENANA6cqDxQkuPG
She is sitting up in bed. He sits up, looking at the clock on the wall. 1 a.m262Please respect copyright.PENANA3DKvr6mlqG
262Please respect copyright.PENANAbR8ysQcqy4
"Can't sleep?" He asks.262Please respect copyright.PENANAF1xSZWrlxa

"No?"262Please respect copyright.PENANA8OUJQBFUfT

"If RING ran the risk of being exposed, we we're supposed to kill ourselves rather than be taken alive."262Please respect copyright.PENANACijzQ5SIMg

A shaky breath passes Elliot's lips. Last time, Nadine did try to take her life. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAky3Z58R3a5
262Please respect copyright.PENANAPI73By5d6X
"Please promise you won't!" He begs, taking her hands in his and lowers his head into her chest, tears streaming down his face. 262Please respect copyright.PENANA42uDCB8seD
262Please respect copyright.PENANAl3bSO5KKvM
He may not be able to be with her, but it won't stop him loving her. His feelings are real. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAxTrZOf7Ne1
262Please respect copyright.PENANADZeR1XWCla
"Elliot- I-I won't. I promise! And the Police we're on our heads anyway, RING is no more now."262Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4wn6JmDlU
262Please respect copyright.PENANApJXZy4ZaUE
"Will you hate me if I say I'm glad?"262Please respect copyright.PENANAA3cGqqyA94
262Please respect copyright.PENANA86YEdV2CiY
"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. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAhH8lgs0zJv
262Please respect copyright.PENANAt5oAj9yprM
We're our own worst enemy."262Please respect copyright.PENANAoF9TyDNLTd

"You can say that again."262Please respect copyright.PENANAdz6lKwm5GA
262Please respect copyright.PENANAXWshxdTs6g
"I just don't understand why you're out here, Elliot. Why come all this way? I don't believe it was to take us down."262Please respect copyright.PENANAlMI0rs20a6
262Please respect copyright.PENANAh3jCEg4VK6

262Please respect copyright.PENANAemS5jlZePz
"What did she tell you?"262Please respect copyright.PENANAsMbD2RvcWY
262Please respect copyright.PENANASiGHHoXSNc
"God, Angels and fallen angels, demons exist." She laughs a little, but it's a more nervous one. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAwtDGi4NQlZ
262Please respect copyright.PENANAi2ns5ccOi9
"Do you believe her?"262Please respect copyright.PENANAHnMttiY89j
262Please respect copyright.PENANAK671od0tVZ

"Such as?"262Please respect copyright.PENANANxtWWZQVHt
262Please respect copyright.PENANAh3zwvzWx0U
"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.262Please respect copyright.PENANAv1feIXPO18
262Please respect copyright.PENANAXotGtpwong
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. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAV9Iael2b1F
262Please respect copyright.PENANAEWYtxeywKw
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."262Please respect copyright.PENANAnt9XeBbbPd
262Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8bxOq8yW3
"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."262Please respect copyright.PENANADjDMe3mhhg
262Please respect copyright.PENANANzAcDXSWUL
She looks up at him. "What?"262Please respect copyright.PENANAcZVrB1o4eV
262Please respect copyright.PENANAEeoKzwMHsY
"She's on the team I'm on."262Please respect copyright.PENANAjgZNtfvu1Q

"You're disgusted, angry at me."262Please respect copyright.PENANAxl9ypZ335m
262Please respect copyright.PENANADnbCAns8L0
"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. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAH5F8KSsPlm
262Please respect copyright.PENANAuCYwDGYy6h
Like I said, RING is no more now. I never wanted to hurt her or anyone anyway."262Please respect copyright.PENANA6J5l4quLlW
262Please respect copyright.PENANAUFS9ydho51
"What can I do to make it better for you?"262Please respect copyright.PENANAPZYZTtYIeb
262Please respect copyright.PENANAijwIMZAv9Z
"There's nothing."262Please respect copyright.PENANA1TdXgAHVyb
262Please respect copyright.PENANApTOfunSL0r
"How about I take you to see your parents?"262Please respect copyright.PENANARDYBv2Treo
262Please respect copyright.PENANAaNTiuD0aRI
"Goodnight, Elliot." And she lay's back down to sleep, back to him. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAxG4LXx32qR
262Please respect copyright.PENANAGOKEh8MsGJ
"Your sister."262Please respect copyright.PENANA9WrJu4ljV6
262Please respect copyright.PENANAWqzNbx3nfm
"......"262Please respect copyright.PENANAO4Rhmh6PBD
262Please respect copyright.PENANAHPClxQIMNi
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. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAxnMTYCCEL9
262Please respect copyright.PENANAepBpJZqeFm
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. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAdnn0xeTAwJ
262Please respect copyright.PENANACfUoI4GwL3
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?262Please respect copyright.PENANAiTr1OIBH0F
262Please respect copyright.PENANAOCEPEzVQDB
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.262Please respect copyright.PENANAQbfI5O15xE
262Please respect copyright.PENANAP9J0amYYKg
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. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAmI7myLhmwV
262Please respect copyright.PENANAkGVpzQQ48N
"Hello?" Says a sleepy sounding voice. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAYB5ygxTPdN
262Please respect copyright.PENANAUZ2y8gV8GI
Levi takes a deep breath in, struggling to find the words. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAFSO32zskqF
262Please respect copyright.PENANAmIzrlv3O3X
"Hello?" The sleepy voice repeats.262Please respect copyright.PENANAmuZsdhaEVy
262Please respect copyright.PENANApSVRVHTdkh
"V-Vincent..." Levi whispers. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAC9zlWkltdP
262Please respect copyright.PENANADSBkb0zCPy
"Who's asking?" Vincent snaps back, now a little more away, his attention now captured.262Please respect copyright.PENANAivkZpJjMTF
262Please respect copyright.PENANANfZjCTj14E
"It's me."262Please respect copyright.PENANAmt9f69Or6X

262Please respect copyright.PENANAjWlqSfsT8g
"Near a gas station?"262Please respect copyright.PENANAszYi3Bt7GK

262Please respect copyright.PENANATBiPo7sZqs
Just drop it and RUN."262Please respect copyright.PENANAJqji4fosoN
262Please respect copyright.PENANACxUi5Bsdup
Vincent hears the phone drop and the sound of squelching snow. He climbs out of bed and is shaking Allie away.262Please respect copyright.PENANAfNYBqX0V6Y
262Please respect copyright.PENANA2tgsuxGdcR
She sits up annoyed. "Get up, wake the others. I'm going to get General Peterson, there is a solid lead on Elliot."262Please respect copyright.PENANAwmw3mQSBh7
262Please respect copyright.PENANAabo2GWJfSB

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.262Please respect copyright.PENANAWMTVRA8TJK
262Please respect copyright.PENANA5NTYL2xUUu
"Levi Preston?"262Please respect copyright.PENANAaOkGBqSi9x
262Please respect copyright.PENANAXHQzilh6Lu
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. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAIUPSN21ekg
262Please respect copyright.PENANANbk8fe38SM
"Do you have I.D to confirm your identity?" The older grey haired man asks. Levi shakes his head, saying nothing. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAYcWOPMuMEm
262Please respect copyright.PENANAToLwABH0eV
"Can you get up off the table, please?"262Please respect copyright.PENANANFKMoXylXW
262Please respect copyright.PENANAqExeNt0msO
Levi sits up and Vincent helps him down, he weights practically nothing, skinny while Vicent is taller than he remembers and beefed up. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAoBBzFbhicx
262Please respect copyright.PENANAi1RaYWp3v1
"It's you, bud." Vincent finally speaks. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAjjPVp0uIwr
262Please respect copyright.PENANA81d1Ud9wee
"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.262Please respect copyright.PENANAPLretCp7Ra
262Please respect copyright.PENANA7AKYfEcTt8
"That's my... boss. Genereal Peterson." Vincent whispers and then Levi realizes, everyone is wearing camo, they're military.262Please respect copyright.PENANAiak02pxddc
262Please respect copyright.PENANARocMFQR2ay
"It's complicated."262Please respect copyright.PENANAp0wH5F3aJP

"What time is it?" Levi whispers.262Please respect copyright.PENANAX5FbRjgG47

"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.262Please respect copyright.PENANAbRs4R4yHpz
262Please respect copyright.PENANAhA9qKJSB0Y
"Fine, have it your way." General Peterson snaps, pulling out handcuffs. "Wait, wait, wait!" Vincent begs, Levi on the brink of tears. 262Please respect copyright.PENANA92cLwGkssM
262Please respect copyright.PENANAzNtNkkunNk
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."262Please respect copyright.PENANAUmF1fXhyax
262Please respect copyright.PENANAVGYYnS9W2O

262Please respect copyright.PENANA9E1t6bwMH3
He can't say the words so he dances around it saying others. "The doctor in charge, they took me down there and drew my blood and ran some other tests. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAScK9kz6GFs
262Please respect copyright.PENANAwtoUgn0Qbh
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. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAX3965HDn7S
262Please respect copyright.PENANAzeAhJ4Nxf4
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-"262Please respect copyright.PENANAzG05mMP0uR
262Please respect copyright.PENANAFvx1lFsHiC
General Peterson cuts him off, holding out a photo from the police department. "Is this the Supervisor?"262Please respect copyright.PENANAerggccYmDL
262Please respect copyright.PENANAz7qwB6Wn3L
"Yeah, that's her. N-Nadine M-May."262Please respect copyright.PENANAkx3iL5VRZc
