Bonnie's lying in a hospital bed, secured to it and semi drugged out, a tube down her nose hooked up to a machine.165Please respect copyright.PENANABE07KtPSdK
165Please respect copyright.PENANAwUSeJWqQU1
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. 165Please respect copyright.PENANAWGqSnVywF2
165Please respect copyright.PENANA6c4vAJlaeo
General Peterson followed by Clara. They bring over a chair from the corner of the room, inching closer to Bonnie. 165Please respect copyright.PENANAWzvTgjdHaZ

"Do you know why you're here?"165Please respect copyright.PENANA2hBYk9CMS0

"Okay, we'll talk then."165Please respect copyright.PENANAb7RXrNiRm1
165Please respect copyright.PENANAyskHgfaLbR
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAYhGU58IBvx

"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-"165Please respect copyright.PENANA9viXSBJ5Qj
165Please respect copyright.PENANAODYgbahyWy

165Please respect copyright.PENANAH2tACPnmgT
"They? RING?"165Please respect copyright.PENANA9ysIrVF9ce
165Please respect copyright.PENANApPlfztiFVv
"No! Not RING! They're not the only ones out there!" She yells, coughing from the pain of the tube down her throat.165Please respect copyright.PENANA7xRKsrHXCy
165Please respect copyright.PENANAZPbjFPIV8Q

165Please respect copyright.PENANAhTZ5LuKq73
Did you ask RING for continued Merge? To forget stuff you'd rather not remember?"165Please respect copyright.PENANAkCPfwLGjL3
165Please respect copyright.PENANAtzv3RqdGiz
"Yeah..."165Please respect copyright.PENANA2Z0SzodvYu
165Please respect copyright.PENANAqdCEE72zS3

"Yes."165Please respect copyright.PENANADkdB168veB

165Please respect copyright.PENANAAMdw67T2bZ
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAal9sjYOVnk
165Please respect copyright.PENANAwQUerxqU39
"One moment, Bonnie."165Please respect copyright.PENANAQr8YRDpzsa
General Peterson dragging a protesting Clara out the room.165Please respect copyright.PENANAztP2p2hdP5
165Please respect copyright.PENANA5RQvBBfKIW
"Don't hurt her!" Yells Bobby outside who Vincent is walking through the corridors. He sees General Peterson scolding Clara.165Please respect copyright.PENANA4P7dXfObqa
165Please respect copyright.PENANAcXF17mP0iX
"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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAJoGRVOArg4
165Please respect copyright.PENANAif37qXO9nz
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAYOEgO0NTpB
165Please respect copyright.PENANAOaQ08G7XjB
She immediatly gives Clara a hug. "It's okay, I'm right here. Things can get intense alot... I'm Allie."165Please respect copyright.PENANAbiAHauhWbZ
165Please respect copyright.PENANAkKNOBiDwO3
"Clara."165Please respect copyright.PENANAh910WQUemx
165Please respect copyright.PENANA7Q9wmq7IOY
"You're the police officer."165Please respect copyright.PENANAx5SSORIWJP

"You...?"165Please respect copyright.PENANAWA7lKnBBAU
165Please respect copyright.PENANAjzo2G0ZXjt
"U.S Military."165Please respect copyright.PENANAFPRtvvm2dt
165Please respect copyright.PENANAaL0lIXvFbr
"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. 165Please respect copyright.PENANA7OvQIafBLU
165Please respect copyright.PENANAoboTYzxP95
"Oh, shit." Bobby says. 165Please respect copyright.PENANAoV4GmA82xc
165Please respect copyright.PENANAuGDAqzOzrQ

"Where's Maxis?"165Please respect copyright.PENANAK70Tx5yafO
165Please respect copyright.PENANAJEXyUjOsO4
"Kiera, you need to go back to your room, okay? Everything is a little chaotic right now."165Please respect copyright.PENANAKIK9LDhodk
165Please respect copyright.PENANA02Ntj8KSmV
"Then why you'd bring me?!"165Please respect copyright.PENANAsEzrW80d5E
165Please respect copyright.PENANAHfGcpPjC2a
"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."165Please respect copyright.PENANAQBZFGOCe6n
165Please respect copyright.PENANAmH6YVYjX0q
"Kiera Bailey. Return to your room, that's an order. Maxis will be back soon." General Peterson speaks up.165Please respect copyright.PENANAbBH0UknMDo
165Please respect copyright.PENANAOXtOA0eEYQ
"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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAu7weXcIpbK
165Please respect copyright.PENANAuK1gxz7shG
Clara takes a step forward holding her hand out to Kiera. Kiera reaches forward and they walk off together.165Please respect copyright.PENANAncmWLnPiRg
165Please respect copyright.PENANA2fNykWaXp2
"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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAUqm1uHpLGD
165Please respect copyright.PENANAAHkxZlsKT1
"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."165Please respect copyright.PENANAqyY7Y6JO1m
165Please respect copyright.PENANA7P6kw580RW

"Woah." Elliot says looking up at their surroundings as Nadine pushes open the door. "This is yours?!"165Please respect copyright.PENANAPMPXF9P4VU
165Please respect copyright.PENANASqjLiXjEdE
"It is, a safe house of mine. I rarely use it." Kaylee responds. It's a two story holiday villa overlooking the beach.165Please respect copyright.PENANAkrjQtS8Oih
165Please respect copyright.PENANAXSFVpLyer6
"Just don't touch any big bright red buttons on remotes."165Please respect copyright.PENANAo7gexfmyz5
165Please respect copyright.PENANAsWB7kbMS9i
"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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAZxJ49rYwGJ
165Please respect copyright.PENANAwcmAEqlA7g
"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."165Please respect copyright.PENANANjuRtaYZdq
165Please respect copyright.PENANAItGpXaxt4K
"I... I actually kinda miss my older sister right now. But boy, would she have some choice words for me..." Nadine trails off.165Please respect copyright.PENANAWhGAIPXc4T
165Please respect copyright.PENANAmKRilc79c6
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAuijKk6Jrcy
165Please respect copyright.PENANAFmqBFfJfJ1
He takes a deep breath in and heads for the bed, sitting down, looking at his hands.165Please respect copyright.PENANACC05O6PlDo
165Please respect copyright.PENANA4cjx2ZhvVv
They aren't physically blood stained, but he just took a life. He ran over one of his own. 165Please respect copyright.PENANA6N5jc5N0RX
165Please respect copyright.PENANAFzX5lK24uC
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. 165Please respect copyright.PENANAPSBamuMI3e
165Please respect copyright.PENANAlSmdKGen8F
He doesn't see any roses of any color. Maybe his offically overcome it after bouncing around time?165Please respect copyright.PENANAOGxQQD1PvE
165Please respect copyright.PENANAzYDBJtLtes
"Are you okay?" Says a small voice. "Sorry, I should have knocked!"165Please respect copyright.PENANAuRf1iwfmRV
165Please respect copyright.PENANAzt1yV1yIaa
It's Levi. "Levi-"165Please respect copyright.PENANABgNA5tGTy5
165Please respect copyright.PENANAO8qR6QvbV5
Levi looks anxious. "Levi, we're not going to hurt you. RING has fallen. You're free to leave if you want to go."165Please respect copyright.PENANACmxQeRCUq3
165Please respect copyright.PENANAzsG4z16zbq
"Where would I go? This is... Nadine said it's Canada."165Please respect copyright.PENANAn4KsGtffII
165Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0LVmEw0De
"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..."165Please respect copyright.PENANA0vZZ2tCAhx
165Please respect copyright.PENANAjJ1TJjV4Kl
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...165Please respect copyright.PENANArmVQvooK6v
165Please respect copyright.PENANAhHdg4fZkAO
"Levi." He says taking both his hands. Levi's now on the verge of tears. 165Please respect copyright.PENANATCu9vLhj8j
165Please respect copyright.PENANAIlAAGmmWmY
"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?"165Please respect copyright.PENANAxtVeZ0GQA5
165Please respect copyright.PENANA2MV12ozmLX
He nods tearfully.165Please respect copyright.PENANA3mIVI5l3aI
165Please respect copyright.PENANALINmSLx8hc
"Do you want to get some sleep? When was the last time you had a good nights rest?"165Please respect copyright.PENANAouzPG4z1XJ
165Please respect copyright.PENANAWsAY65Dgos
"....."165Please respect copyright.PENANA6xNVodFPmd

"Lunch won't be for a little while."165Please respect copyright.PENANASGxEeuCWAl
165Please respect copyright.PENANA9supxBuhth
"Can you stand outside the room?"165Please respect copyright.PENANAVeaBTJp0JV
165Please respect copyright.PENANAA51taIjXvL
"Sure, bud!"165Please respect copyright.PENANAE8SRjHRJzk
165Please respect copyright.PENANAZFtGjmfjNS
And he follows Levi who's clinging to him and is stuck standing outside Levi's room. 165Please respect copyright.PENANA16qikVP4F1
165Please respect copyright.PENANAEdyn2AE9KK
Nadine's showering, and Kaylee hasn't come out of her room. The door is locked. Is she thinking? Decompressing?165Please respect copyright.PENANAZSQNaPbTTd

165Please respect copyright.PENANASU0CaOsGFy
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. 165Please respect copyright.PENANAIUsGSEnFIv
165Please respect copyright.PENANA0LiqntyOTf
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. 165Please respect copyright.PENANA2QNHY0pHpC
165Please respect copyright.PENANABD6Z9sGr1Q
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAXEkjIb39p7
165Please respect copyright.PENANAGl2lWVntTH
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?165Please respect copyright.PENANAIiAtZ69R2U
165Please respect copyright.PENANAOeLUivltI2
She eventually takes a seat on a plastic bench, shoulders slumped over again.165Please respect copyright.PENANAynfNiyHTga
165Please respect copyright.PENANAhZU5tnrl4p
"Hello there again."165Please respect copyright.PENANA3aXee51Tkq
165Please respect copyright.PENANAvvXGdHhMLK
It's Clara and she takes a seat beside Kiera. "Can't sleep?"165Please respect copyright.PENANATLOr47TYhV
165Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZYB0kzKXV
Kiera shakes her head. 165Please respect copyright.PENANAKE4tNRvKl2
165Please respect copyright.PENANAGBB8b4PkAN
"Neither can I."165Please respect copyright.PENANAK1WjjQR3wZ
165Please respect copyright.PENANAFdDJ0rvYIN
Kiera gives her a look. 165Please respect copyright.PENANAP2ytl0jqVd
165Please respect copyright.PENANAMbfEQvY8Ls
"Uh, yeah, um, Bobby is actually my fiance. Well, ex. I can't marry him after everything that has happened..."165Please respect copyright.PENANAdxuYwdCdSA
165Please respect copyright.PENANACFYwoiy5RS
"......"165Please respect copyright.PENANAX2PGFLqa8Q
165Please respect copyright.PENANATecAkrsRTF
"Kiera. When RING held your prisoner. What was Bobby like? How did he treat you?"165Please respect copyright.PENANAieyIGeHlNE
165Please respect copyright.PENANA6w2vUKFdYT
"I could tell you how Nadine May treated me, Bonnie too. I don't think Bobby worked there when I was there."165Please respect copyright.PENANA11W52z3ahq
165Please respect copyright.PENANAot9FR3mh2G
"Really?"165Please respect copyright.PENANAZQ9VaKb2M6
165Please respect copyright.PENANAbpM30cgW56
"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. 165Please respect copyright.PENANALOTXGNFo2S
165Please respect copyright.PENANAitj4pWa1lF
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAKfPA8jmv0m
165Please respect copyright.PENANA1GDnwBg34D
My life isn't mine anymore." 165Please respect copyright.PENANA5VdVwdlmO4
165Please respect copyright.PENANAwNglPR1DNi
And she bends over crying. 165Please respect copyright.PENANAI0mH9z3WMH
165Please respect copyright.PENANAwmwgfEZNZp
"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-"165Please respect copyright.PENANA83xYqSroNE
165Please respect copyright.PENANAJsSYTqRmVY
"At the momemt, I just want to go back to the U.S. Did you know I had a younger brother?165Please respect copyright.PENANAqtQGQ1TKf4
165Please respect copyright.PENANAak15VtFIcR
Turns out I do."165Please respect copyright.PENANAMyKdi0KQI9
165Please respect copyright.PENANA2hArooZl2D
"Do you want to see him?"165Please respect copyright.PENANA4dsznqwHQ1
165Please respect copyright.PENANAbgDJocx20M
"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."165Please respect copyright.PENANARjiWWitA4T
165Please respect copyright.PENANAhbFciND4q2
"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."165Please respect copyright.PENANAM4Am5htEsw
165Please respect copyright.PENANAVIwL1ajJBT
"I don't know."165Please respect copyright.PENANA1h3UQmmTuR
165Please respect copyright.PENANAIi5I297qzL
"There you are, Kiera!"165Please respect copyright.PENANACrDGYsCpeL
165Please respect copyright.PENANAHigARb1fzk
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANA813k8OLbea
165Please respect copyright.PENANAtp2R8JMXLu
"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."165Please respect copyright.PENANAup1QyOmaZv
165Please respect copyright.PENANANTWx7e4mmA
"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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAAgfcsqOVmB

"Elliot."165Please respect copyright.PENANAbQvsBuDSN9
165Please respect copyright.PENANA1AumvvWi2L
He wakes up, Nadine in his face, awake. He sits up. "Yeah?"165Please respect copyright.PENANAnhUvkxxAVR
165Please respect copyright.PENANA28qGz1ZrQU
She is sitting up in bed. He sits up, looking at the clock on the wall. 1 a.m165Please respect copyright.PENANAP8XtYHt8a4
165Please respect copyright.PENANAvsdoMf2Nqy
"Can't sleep?" He asks.165Please respect copyright.PENANAKyQmjs5sik

"No?"165Please respect copyright.PENANAfzHTffMUwe

"Please promise you won't!" He begs, taking her hands in his and lowers his head into her chest, tears streaming down his face. 165Please respect copyright.PENANAhNyhlujzcG
165Please respect copyright.PENANACf1IblZc5T
He may not be able to be with her, but it won't stop him loving her. His feelings are real. 165Please respect copyright.PENANAMlPcx7Ip0a
165Please respect copyright.PENANAOde8fSPywV
"Elliot- I-I won't. I promise! And the Police we're on our heads anyway, RING is no more now."165Please respect copyright.PENANA0MKePHBVTU

"Will you hate me if I say I'm glad?"165Please respect copyright.PENANAOZpC0lo0Zl
165Please respect copyright.PENANAbrnvVwOMIn

165Please respect copyright.PENANAyM0jlrca9b
"What did she tell you?"165Please respect copyright.PENANAE008DA3gdW
165Please respect copyright.PENANAQcH17Uu2Xq
"God, Angels and fallen angels, demons exist." She laughs a little, but it's a more nervous one. 165Please respect copyright.PENANAi0bM6D8t9l
165Please respect copyright.PENANA9yZzLZRTFW
"Do you believe her?"165Please respect copyright.PENANAs9G1l5PccY

165Please respect copyright.PENANAxutDWKuGm0
"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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAbKxWCquKqH
165Please respect copyright.PENANA0uFLYZ89fy
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. 165Please respect copyright.PENANAaHtAzyAter
165Please respect copyright.PENANAWWl7UJFicP
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."165Please respect copyright.PENANAy4s7222442
165Please respect copyright.PENANAmYmQnpmfoF
"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."165Please respect copyright.PENANA1msxJwHwxO
165Please respect copyright.PENANAIpcnj8j04w
She looks up at him. "What?"165Please respect copyright.PENANAIK58ieQyqi
165Please respect copyright.PENANAvkyOx3WBWc
"She's on the team I'm on."165Please respect copyright.PENANApghRCz3NF9

"You're disgusted, angry at me."165Please respect copyright.PENANAgbXyDyTKIX
165Please respect copyright.PENANAetEObuksLT
"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. 165Please respect copyright.PENANAxyHr3LjGIO
165Please respect copyright.PENANA3rSorFzIR2
Like I said, RING is no more now. I never wanted to hurt her or anyone anyway."165Please respect copyright.PENANApwss9liy6S
165Please respect copyright.PENANApzRbeF5J2p
"What can I do to make it better for you?"165Please respect copyright.PENANA09crXDxZJq
165Please respect copyright.PENANARewyg9OjcW
"There's nothing."165Please respect copyright.PENANA8rszReIvnf
165Please respect copyright.PENANABF9xkykpT0
"How about I take you to see your parents?"165Please respect copyright.PENANAPlFRhx1j3W
165Please respect copyright.PENANAowu6reDMz8
"Goodnight, Elliot." And she lay's back down to sleep, back to him. 165Please respect copyright.PENANAKv2ij3phpq
165Please respect copyright.PENANAMSlGNLgGWv
"Your sister."165Please respect copyright.PENANAfv50vZrcC1

"......"165Please respect copyright.PENANA91ctOBAJJJ
165Please respect copyright.PENANAYXyCG73yt7
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. 165Please respect copyright.PENANAcv7EvsZxwn
165Please respect copyright.PENANAIDJUtDVWOK
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. 165Please respect copyright.PENANAkeJYZGoeVf
165Please respect copyright.PENANAGFITamDbj4
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?165Please respect copyright.PENANAulxbpF9wFp
165Please respect copyright.PENANAFGMFCVOG7p
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAH1BRa0bypz
165Please respect copyright.PENANAiqGspFX2L0
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. 165Please respect copyright.PENANAH0A3RsJfRp
165Please respect copyright.PENANAvMruFXsglp
"Hello?" Says a sleepy sounding voice. 165Please respect copyright.PENANAVAv0pHzMLc

Levi takes a deep breath in, struggling to find the words. 165Please respect copyright.PENANATn8t43oFHi
165Please respect copyright.PENANApl0V5idmQi
"Hello?" The sleepy voice repeats.165Please respect copyright.PENANA5hSfXupdWm
165Please respect copyright.PENANAAUyL8dGGE9
"V-Vincent..." Levi whispers. 165Please respect copyright.PENANAvga6mAb0tg
165Please respect copyright.PENANAUikWlfBVnO
"Who's asking?" Vincent snaps back, now a little more away, his attention now captured.165Please respect copyright.PENANA4uTGlxFinH

Just drop it and RUN."165Please respect copyright.PENANAcUSEsOVYqq
165Please respect copyright.PENANASKd1G21EGL
Vincent hears the phone drop and the sound of squelching snow. He climbs out of bed and is shaking Allie away.165Please respect copyright.PENANARAgydUeYJ3
165Please respect copyright.PENANAAQRef0ODri
She sits up annoyed. "Get up, wake the others. I'm going to get General Peterson, there is a solid lead on Elliot."165Please respect copyright.PENANAwIMdQgnmlU

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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAKVOyJghRLr
165Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZN2iJlNmk
"Levi Preston?"165Please respect copyright.PENANAyryzFKnVLB
165Please respect copyright.PENANAUvPPnXjlxG
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. 165Please respect copyright.PENANAHnQFrm5Jmh
165Please respect copyright.PENANAhkwZDzjuGT
"Do you have I.D to confirm your identity?" The older grey haired man asks. Levi shakes his head, saying nothing. 165Please respect copyright.PENANAuFNXLUVhdV
165Please respect copyright.PENANAo5kSXGCEl5
"Can you get up off the table, please?"165Please respect copyright.PENANAa5IeEnATkj
165Please respect copyright.PENANANCwyvqCo0I
Levi sits up and Vincent helps him down, he weights practically nothing, skinny while Vicent is taller than he remembers and beefed up. 165Please respect copyright.PENANADhfs3DPiJY
165Please respect copyright.PENANAMmEqJTAA3b
"It's you, bud." Vincent finally speaks. 165Please respect copyright.PENANA6hPeuCKy4h
165Please respect copyright.PENANA6tpCYr6GIT
"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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAs1fACKL8SF
165Please respect copyright.PENANA3iinmmiTqJ
"That's my... boss. Genereal Peterson." Vincent whispers and then Levi realizes, everyone is wearing camo, they're military.165Please respect copyright.PENANASmjHArmglK

"It's complicated."165Please respect copyright.PENANAXW314sknfC

"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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAloLjdF7Jx9
165Please respect copyright.PENANAVQ46gzbxIM
"Fine, have it your way." General Peterson snaps, pulling out handcuffs. "Wait, wait, wait!" Vincent begs, Levi on the brink of tears. 165Please respect copyright.PENANAbgRWy1CW0v
165Please respect copyright.PENANAlGtjyKcG7b
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."165Please respect copyright.PENANAya7CoQ1hM2

165Please respect copyright.PENANAjjAi6GEbPI
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. 165Please respect copyright.PENANAyd7PdBIVwT
165Please respect copyright.PENANAAu6isjixGs
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-"165Please respect copyright.PENANA1D9iNxSRKX
165Please respect copyright.PENANAquARp1ZbVd
General Peterson cuts him off, holding out a photo from the police department. "Is this the Supervisor?"165Please respect copyright.PENANAJPGLfOcrYb
