Bonnie's lying in a hospital bed, secured to it and semi drugged out, a tube down her nose hooked up to a machine.247Please respect copyright.PENANAg33y4JrBDM
247Please respect copyright.PENANApo2BNulK04
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. 247Please respect copyright.PENANANoWOh1ddWB
247Please respect copyright.PENANARHGK0D3Kxq
General Peterson followed by Clara. They bring over a chair from the corner of the room, inching closer to Bonnie. 247Please respect copyright.PENANA1p3kRk2j0n

"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-"247Please respect copyright.PENANAuaow1KXQu5

"They? RING?"247Please respect copyright.PENANAv9U1k4eE9u

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.247Please respect copyright.PENANADr6fT36SE2
247Please respect copyright.PENANAl3Mt0egCZq
"One moment, Bonnie."247Please respect copyright.PENANAH0YetPYZ4L
General Peterson dragging a protesting Clara out the room.247Please respect copyright.PENANA193umyQVh7
247Please respect copyright.PENANAU3Nszkz6CM
"Don't hurt her!" Yells Bobby outside who Vincent is walking through the corridors. He sees General Peterson scolding Clara.247Please respect copyright.PENANAuDcSRzC9qL
247Please respect copyright.PENANAusoFUkro95
"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.247Please respect copyright.PENANAAMOE1iD6hY
247Please respect copyright.PENANAzdA7ioBylr
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.247Please respect copyright.PENANAUqAAcacH11
247Please respect copyright.PENANAEiwus85gJT
She immediatly gives Clara a hug. "It's okay, I'm right here. Things can get intense alot... I'm Allie."247Please respect copyright.PENANAYzwSo3qXxc
247Please respect copyright.PENANASfu2dsJNyE
"Clara."247Please respect copyright.PENANAN0wdzr1HPl
247Please respect copyright.PENANAr9XtXTZTHg
"You're the police officer."247Please respect copyright.PENANAckrnXWmABT
247Please respect copyright.PENANAW4pdvs8PdW
"You...?"247Please respect copyright.PENANAgXAvGOLlaT
247Please respect copyright.PENANAK2f0BFHN6A
"U.S Military."247Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZVsrxsetp
247Please respect copyright.PENANANe1sJa5gP2
"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. 247Please respect copyright.PENANABvo4gaZ59p
247Please respect copyright.PENANAyif5K14WmE

"Kiera, you need to go back to your room, okay? Everything is a little chaotic right now."247Please respect copyright.PENANARHfAx2O0hC
247Please respect copyright.PENANA4n6ntICkmz
"Then why you'd bring me?!"247Please respect copyright.PENANA1kWuVkgUhx
247Please respect copyright.PENANAvMLorNrFrS
"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."247Please respect copyright.PENANAMzCAjbPn7w
247Please respect copyright.PENANAXQgY5soOh4
"Kiera Bailey. Return to your room, that's an order. Maxis will be back soon." General Peterson speaks up.247Please respect copyright.PENANAW0F2Tlvudt
247Please respect copyright.PENANAzOo5dXeiR4
"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.247Please respect copyright.PENANAKD0v35xlNG
247Please respect copyright.PENANArERKUKJyQa
Clara takes a step forward holding her hand out to Kiera. Kiera reaches forward and they walk off together.247Please respect copyright.PENANAyclkchc4I8
247Please respect copyright.PENANAGiN7uSlJiS
"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.247Please respect copyright.PENANAXmeTT1k7T2
247Please respect copyright.PENANAfxsF0Xz5mo
"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."247Please respect copyright.PENANANcgn8RdY68
247Please respect copyright.PENANAoAcWEL8BDw

"Woah." Elliot says looking up at their surroundings as Nadine pushes open the door. "This is yours?!"247Please respect copyright.PENANA7POC2QTtf6
247Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8zscys3Ww
"It is, a safe house of mine. I rarely use it." Kaylee responds. It's a two story holiday villa overlooking the beach.247Please respect copyright.PENANAbiJuWMLOr1
247Please respect copyright.PENANA5Se1Qt5H8G
"Just don't touch any big bright red buttons on remotes."247Please respect copyright.PENANA5R65NElLaj
247Please respect copyright.PENANAyGgfNPNdht
"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.247Please respect copyright.PENANAUQ4I1QD3ti
247Please respect copyright.PENANA626et82gwb
"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."247Please respect copyright.PENANANnNL4to11Q
247Please respect copyright.PENANAEDf2qoWCNw
"I... I actually kinda miss my older sister right now. But boy, would she have some choice words for me..." Nadine trails off.247Please respect copyright.PENANADoK1oC81oN
247Please respect copyright.PENANAEIDrwdWb8f
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.247Please respect copyright.PENANA3Bx3Ey8wKk
247Please respect copyright.PENANAOtZsiWizbC
He takes a deep breath in and heads for the bed, sitting down, looking at his hands.247Please respect copyright.PENANATtEI6orc5d
247Please respect copyright.PENANAerXCexy5NR
They aren't physically blood stained, but he just took a life. He ran over one of his own. 247Please respect copyright.PENANAsrzYPhIOwK
247Please respect copyright.PENANAif9YzFTYUE
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. 247Please respect copyright.PENANAe2C2bPgj9b
247Please respect copyright.PENANA3GLuQRXZRJ
He doesn't see any roses of any color. Maybe his offically overcome it after bouncing around time?247Please respect copyright.PENANAJNh4TXpGer
247Please respect copyright.PENANAgxtRk39sSH
"Are you okay?" Says a small voice. "Sorry, I should have knocked!"247Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3bB33JeSn
247Please respect copyright.PENANA92jZf191t2
It's Levi. "Levi-"247Please respect copyright.PENANAbWVynYM2Fv
247Please respect copyright.PENANAojC4xPAV4R
Levi looks anxious. "Levi, we're not going to hurt you. RING has fallen. You're free to leave if you want to go."247Please respect copyright.PENANAFOBdf8GJtJ
247Please respect copyright.PENANAwsoOugyP2M
"Where would I go? This is... Nadine said it's Canada."247Please respect copyright.PENANAOQelCyyGz3
247Please respect copyright.PENANAgOcCZ0AzTD
"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..."247Please respect copyright.PENANAiFIwr8iG06
247Please respect copyright.PENANAN121KyVfFY
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...247Please respect copyright.PENANA5mIIf19sWH
247Please respect copyright.PENANA4BpiQMffFh
"Levi." He says taking both his hands. Levi's now on the verge of tears. 247Please respect copyright.PENANAQ27BDC9Xdr
247Please respect copyright.PENANACo5rnFcrl5
"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?"247Please respect copyright.PENANAI1NboesjvX
247Please respect copyright.PENANA0TENaeztCM
He nods tearfully.247Please respect copyright.PENANAqznX5aIF4l
247Please respect copyright.PENANA9SmArtB985
"Do you want to get some sleep? When was the last time you had a good nights rest?"247Please respect copyright.PENANA2ugO0lm4Ap

"Lunch won't be for a little while."247Please respect copyright.PENANAQ34N5abYuf
247Please respect copyright.PENANArqXwbMpLnu
"Can you stand outside the room?"247Please respect copyright.PENANALiXxt8Erlp
247Please respect copyright.PENANANNMhe1PYj0
"Sure, bud!"247Please respect copyright.PENANASK03GiY6J4
247Please respect copyright.PENANAYiUdxCWrcx
And he follows Levi who's clinging to him and is stuck standing outside Levi's room. 247Please respect copyright.PENANAzuLYFoRYxJ
247Please respect copyright.PENANAfmjD2n7Ex1
Nadine's showering, and Kaylee hasn't come out of her room. The door is locked. Is she thinking? Decompressing?247Please respect copyright.PENANAk1P5jjNGaJ

247Please respect copyright.PENANAIIhVUABBXR
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. 247Please respect copyright.PENANA5sq6HHoM6c
247Please respect copyright.PENANAuBGTVZ97cH
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. 247Please respect copyright.PENANAKmULtLw3Qh
247Please respect copyright.PENANARyUFjANnEr
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.247Please respect copyright.PENANA9jTR8fCdLA
247Please respect copyright.PENANAAkyZM0FsiC
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?247Please respect copyright.PENANAcK0T6B737T
247Please respect copyright.PENANApyIvgv5jl6
She eventually takes a seat on a plastic bench, shoulders slumped over again.247Please respect copyright.PENANAlVBtdIO5QR
247Please respect copyright.PENANALNl990s7kg
"Hello there again."247Please respect copyright.PENANARJSZIiBtex
247Please respect copyright.PENANAE04KR3opq0
It's Clara and she takes a seat beside Kiera. "Can't sleep?"247Please respect copyright.PENANA5OlnfisPKD
247Please respect copyright.PENANAW4L8C15ngv
Kiera shakes her head. 247Please respect copyright.PENANAfkhbDzHXcI
247Please respect copyright.PENANAKax9UuOqQm
"Neither can I."247Please respect copyright.PENANAUgQYuUzW9g
247Please respect copyright.PENANAh4tMsLsU30
Kiera gives her a look. 247Please respect copyright.PENANAQUTKVHVob4
247Please respect copyright.PENANAGqu9fIjMAW
"Uh, yeah, um, Bobby is actually my fiance. Well, ex. I can't marry him after everything that has happened..."247Please respect copyright.PENANA9wvZVtLvzx
247Please respect copyright.PENANASF1msMmS0N
"......"247Please respect copyright.PENANAcUvW1Zbo7L
247Please respect copyright.PENANA8pXLEEsPen
"Kiera. When RING held your prisoner. What was Bobby like? How did he treat you?"247Please respect copyright.PENANACTRK2szCRH
247Please respect copyright.PENANAT8yPUPs3OQ
"I could tell you how Nadine May treated me, Bonnie too. I don't think Bobby worked there when I was there."247Please respect copyright.PENANArqH8TVnolr
247Please respect copyright.PENANA9wneY0Oh78
"Really?"247Please respect copyright.PENANAEUesxJqnCD
247Please respect copyright.PENANArBOVSmiHaY
"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. 247Please respect copyright.PENANAuLkYjPixJ9
247Please respect copyright.PENANAMKuhrNXuh5
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.247Please respect copyright.PENANAqasSNiqfO3
247Please respect copyright.PENANAZOBOHe8hwW
My life isn't mine anymore." 247Please respect copyright.PENANA8GGR8WABcd
247Please respect copyright.PENANA3QEMJ9mFQj
And she bends over crying. 247Please respect copyright.PENANAlINSJ2g4ho
247Please respect copyright.PENANAGvvMGGL3NZ
"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-"247Please respect copyright.PENANAEmZ72qKcNv
247Please respect copyright.PENANAeNv8E7xtn8
"At the momemt, I just want to go back to the U.S. Did you know I had a younger brother?247Please respect copyright.PENANAM577xEKL16
247Please respect copyright.PENANAxsc4pn1t8P
Turns out I do."247Please respect copyright.PENANAPICOPIuoN5
247Please respect copyright.PENANAuefIkTPg9O
"Do you want to see him?"247Please respect copyright.PENANAT8m4nUexmg
247Please respect copyright.PENANACUL2m527q1
"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."247Please respect copyright.PENANAF9q2WIa1LS
247Please respect copyright.PENANAqsc7Zgipr6
"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."247Please respect copyright.PENANAQhQuOdxjOJ
247Please respect copyright.PENANAIVZjZacJw7
"I don't know."247Please respect copyright.PENANANU0qEoOqlt

"There you are, Kiera!"247Please respect copyright.PENANAW3s88Dz5Ka
247Please respect copyright.PENANAsz2UX7gpIq
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.247Please respect copyright.PENANABKg8EowpV0
247Please respect copyright.PENANA4HVHjssRrM
"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."247Please respect copyright.PENANAu8S59he84u
247Please respect copyright.PENANALd2Dsjvqu3
"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.247Please respect copyright.PENANAL6VKrctCs2

He wakes up, Nadine in his face, awake. He sits up. "Yeah?"247Please respect copyright.PENANAR3DJEJUv5m
247Please respect copyright.PENANAKhqzHm4gUJ
She is sitting up in bed. He sits up, looking at the clock on the wall. 1 a.m247Please respect copyright.PENANAj4lgqchqFN

"Can't sleep?" He asks.247Please respect copyright.PENANAVTH7gKFtYK

A shaky breath passes Elliot's lips. Last time, Nadine did try to take her life. 247Please respect copyright.PENANAraqAg5z0rC
247Please respect copyright.PENANAb4uvzeP0I1
"Please promise you won't!" He begs, taking her hands in his and lowers his head into her chest, tears streaming down his face. 247Please respect copyright.PENANAz0Ctze9WwL
247Please respect copyright.PENANAs0wZMeR1gI
He may not be able to be with her, but it won't stop him loving her. His feelings are real. 247Please respect copyright.PENANAFzWw8Ia6T4
247Please respect copyright.PENANAAagyoaiTg1
"Elliot- I-I won't. I promise! And the Police we're on our heads anyway, RING is no more now."247Please respect copyright.PENANAiguia76GNz

"Will you hate me if I say I'm glad?"247Please respect copyright.PENANApQ70cq3bE3
247Please respect copyright.PENANAWLVue8wcFE
"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. 247Please respect copyright.PENANAGu3CrEBCEY

247Please respect copyright.PENANAEp1dXnGbGv
"What did she tell you?"247Please respect copyright.PENANA6JKtG6Tgcu

247Please respect copyright.PENANAPOiPyxz1rn
"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.247Please respect copyright.PENANAIKfuDYBb6k
247Please respect copyright.PENANASarr9ZBamB
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. 247Please respect copyright.PENANAUdn0uJ8X59
247Please respect copyright.PENANAJEV6q5d5jV
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."247Please respect copyright.PENANAQrGaWdVEG8
247Please respect copyright.PENANAbHA2TcSIai

She looks up at him. "What?"247Please respect copyright.PENANA9P3eENurGH

247Please respect copyright.PENANAMaoEgUrx4I
"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. 247Please respect copyright.PENANA66O1QrP0Ws
247Please respect copyright.PENANAlucKW24WOg
Like I said, RING is no more now. I never wanted to hurt her or anyone anyway."247Please respect copyright.PENANAZVePwTdgAP

"How about I take you to see your parents?"247Please respect copyright.PENANAPWRYhXNahx
247Please respect copyright.PENANAFPAzF7g6O6
"Goodnight, Elliot." And she lay's back down to sleep, back to him. 247Please respect copyright.PENANAzaTkMPMLOY
247Please respect copyright.PENANApySWbQ8b9q

"......"247Please respect copyright.PENANAvN4RHtBw0r
247Please respect copyright.PENANAl4jQXp0dnO
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. 247Please respect copyright.PENANAH0fMPok4q8
247Please respect copyright.PENANAOnkcR9Hmhs
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. 247Please respect copyright.PENANAGmGykeQ7Y7
247Please respect copyright.PENANAHfNMbjqz73
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?247Please respect copyright.PENANAZd4GLlXVmN
247Please respect copyright.PENANA0Hgp7cvPpc
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.247Please respect copyright.PENANA4b0XE8OXH5
247Please respect copyright.PENANAkpGEpwuxoY
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. 247Please respect copyright.PENANATnF4P2WHJ1
247Please respect copyright.PENANAdwSxG2kckZ
"Hello?" Says a sleepy sounding voice. 247Please respect copyright.PENANAb7MCS1i73I

Levi takes a deep breath in, struggling to find the words. 247Please respect copyright.PENANAxKD7Fobd1Q

Just drop it and RUN."247Please respect copyright.PENANAPy0finIGuC

Vincent hears the phone drop and the sound of squelching snow. He climbs out of bed and is shaking Allie away.247Please respect copyright.PENANA5FRFZlMxHA
247Please respect copyright.PENANASA5ieo69xF
She sits up annoyed. "Get up, wake the others. I'm going to get General Peterson, there is a solid lead on Elliot."247Please respect copyright.PENANA2l2BsAeLQO

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.247Please respect copyright.PENANA9eyIi0rBI4
247Please respect copyright.PENANAuVfr8aIh9s
"Levi Preston?"247Please respect copyright.PENANAiB3KZMDNpo
247Please respect copyright.PENANAJYk975eG6V
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. 247Please respect copyright.PENANADneAEBabG4
247Please respect copyright.PENANA5T26wtmbtr
"Do you have I.D to confirm your identity?" The older grey haired man asks. Levi shakes his head, saying nothing. 247Please respect copyright.PENANApFX3tK3ykt
247Please respect copyright.PENANA3cGmFVFX3j
"Can you get up off the table, please?"247Please respect copyright.PENANAwQmCCylmni
247Please respect copyright.PENANAqyg719Fi69
Levi sits up and Vincent helps him down, he weights practically nothing, skinny while Vicent is taller than he remembers and beefed up. 247Please respect copyright.PENANALDiHN31nsp
247Please respect copyright.PENANAtLlJsysG66
"It's you, bud." Vincent finally speaks. 247Please respect copyright.PENANAMpwIBQ0ZOn
247Please respect copyright.PENANAIefJ54LQHp
"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.247Please respect copyright.PENANApX23EPRdwQ
247Please respect copyright.PENANAwrL4VnRwkt

247Please respect copyright.PENANA3naZntnNl4
"Fine, have it your way." General Peterson snaps, pulling out handcuffs. "Wait, wait, wait!" Vincent begs, Levi on the brink of tears. 247Please respect copyright.PENANAqwrR66p9as
247Please respect copyright.PENANA7fH04QAcrC
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."247Please respect copyright.PENANALMerQ5nZB2

247Please respect copyright.PENANASeLmbNWdl2

247Please respect copyright.PENANAsX2vKczNpf
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-"247Please respect copyright.PENANAfLQu3NLX9T
247Please respect copyright.PENANA4glrklGp0P
General Peterson cuts him off, holding out a photo from the police department. "Is this the Supervisor?"247Please respect copyright.PENANAOOleRyXWBG
