Bonnie's lying in a hospital bed, secured to it and semi drugged out, a tube down her nose hooked up to a machine.167Please respect copyright.PENANAx7gaLMPZSd
167Please respect copyright.PENANAOphCjQws5n
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. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAfNkYAyktwv
167Please respect copyright.PENANAIHhxevf9Cf
General Peterson followed by Clara. They bring over a chair from the corner of the room, inching closer to Bonnie. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAoZvUuCEZPs

"Morning, Bonnie." General Peterson says.167Please respect copyright.PENANAPofedLXk38

"Okay, we'll talk then."167Please respect copyright.PENANAVdS6ckDdjm
167Please respect copyright.PENANATr0RdOq1GL
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.167Please respect copyright.PENANACHT6bT4RMr

167Please respect copyright.PENANAsBgPhZHnqY
"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-"167Please respect copyright.PENANAODe6RV8oBo
167Please respect copyright.PENANAbwR5XBxtx8

167Please respect copyright.PENANAiQcNHNLJkJ
"They? RING?"167Please respect copyright.PENANANyfUDcXyTx
167Please respect copyright.PENANAokshYJN3DC
"No! Not RING! They're not the only ones out there!" She yells, coughing from the pain of the tube down her throat.167Please respect copyright.PENANAnVbCbuC8CY
167Please respect copyright.PENANAzUuEuv8OpM

Did you ask RING for continued Merge? To forget stuff you'd rather not remember?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAYNtN20uZE1
167Please respect copyright.PENANAnrYF2LLpRg
"Yeah..."167Please respect copyright.PENANApuUIRBCGBS

"Yes."167Please respect copyright.PENANAlGT9qHtqnl

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.167Please respect copyright.PENANA5Jw3RTSQmb
167Please respect copyright.PENANAlzMjgDv7HX
"One moment, Bonnie."167Please respect copyright.PENANA6fyl9NDr7u
General Peterson dragging a protesting Clara out the room.167Please respect copyright.PENANA57Z6pDskUz
167Please respect copyright.PENANAzt62pAJwtR
"Don't hurt her!" Yells Bobby outside who Vincent is walking through the corridors. He sees General Peterson scolding Clara.167Please respect copyright.PENANAEdDDEBzTJI
167Please respect copyright.PENANAvO0hrMeUpP
"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.167Please respect copyright.PENANAqCC0MRQ9UQ
167Please respect copyright.PENANAW7E0a8QMbz
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.167Please respect copyright.PENANAE454hX1e5f
167Please respect copyright.PENANAGjlx3cETO6
She immediatly gives Clara a hug. "It's okay, I'm right here. Things can get intense alot... I'm Allie."167Please respect copyright.PENANAC26h5kA4VV
167Please respect copyright.PENANASXn2zkZAvU
"Clara."167Please respect copyright.PENANAb1Avu7sQCH
167Please respect copyright.PENANAzcv0nbcCtQ
"You're the police officer."167Please respect copyright.PENANArHGVVUrBYi
167Please respect copyright.PENANAAXBPiVn7go
"You...?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAjAOB88BXlU
167Please respect copyright.PENANAOgSZ4rVPIZ
"U.S Military."167Please respect copyright.PENANA5PKc4aLQLk
167Please respect copyright.PENANAi9d49vFFuv
"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. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAAWcotno7yy
167Please respect copyright.PENANAtK7qzKrW4F
"Oh, shit." Bobby says. 167Please respect copyright.PENANACkVJkpdVBm
167Please respect copyright.PENANADBZJlWAnTP
"Kiera-" Allie speaking up. 167Please respect copyright.PENANApYMExwtGXg
167Please respect copyright.PENANAjDx0ti9Fco
"Where's Maxis?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2dngTfGmX
167Please respect copyright.PENANAYqkE7fdJrV
"Kiera, you need to go back to your room, okay? Everything is a little chaotic right now."167Please respect copyright.PENANAlVeilggE0F
167Please respect copyright.PENANAyhxNx9yGVd
"Then why you'd bring me?!"167Please respect copyright.PENANA6fiQK8XEnC
167Please respect copyright.PENANA9CKXxLjLQn
"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."167Please respect copyright.PENANAguvyfKsOku
167Please respect copyright.PENANAuQ9AaEDLC6
"Kiera Bailey. Return to your room, that's an order. Maxis will be back soon." General Peterson speaks up.167Please respect copyright.PENANAwCwmtIQMvA
167Please respect copyright.PENANAtSgFa9jWyP
"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.167Please respect copyright.PENANAbOmlYYOmOK
167Please respect copyright.PENANAUPSAEuZ2Ny
Clara takes a step forward holding her hand out to Kiera. Kiera reaches forward and they walk off together.167Please respect copyright.PENANACgC9rMeR1y
167Please respect copyright.PENANAqROY2cef3D
"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.167Please respect copyright.PENANAiCPtbaW3v3
167Please respect copyright.PENANArTHqtmvUuk
"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."167Please respect copyright.PENANAnVEZMgRlQG
167Please respect copyright.PENANAlfBafQOghA

"Woah." Elliot says looking up at their surroundings as Nadine pushes open the door. "This is yours?!"167Please respect copyright.PENANA9hGapIFfSJ
167Please respect copyright.PENANApwFVGWpwaf
"It is, a safe house of mine. I rarely use it." Kaylee responds. It's a two story holiday villa overlooking the beach.167Please respect copyright.PENANAmkEuIvQ8x2
167Please respect copyright.PENANAhyH7y1htfM
"Just don't touch any big bright red buttons on remotes."167Please respect copyright.PENANAm52htExCwA
167Please respect copyright.PENANAkhiYhuR6a8
"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.167Please respect copyright.PENANALe86JySd3w
167Please respect copyright.PENANAZjdZzNIAEp
"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."167Please respect copyright.PENANAe7RFGsf841
167Please respect copyright.PENANAR9vLxLtzcs
"I... I actually kinda miss my older sister right now. But boy, would she have some choice words for me..." Nadine trails off.167Please respect copyright.PENANA66rJDIaz8E
167Please respect copyright.PENANATYol9mq0ly
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.167Please respect copyright.PENANA4RS3oQgQOe
167Please respect copyright.PENANA3sOWIaIeNO
He takes a deep breath in and heads for the bed, sitting down, looking at his hands.167Please respect copyright.PENANAmRlNFg30da
167Please respect copyright.PENANAzd46fUOPUe
They aren't physically blood stained, but he just took a life. He ran over one of his own. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAHw929Y7bDg
167Please respect copyright.PENANANr49ieBK1P
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. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAR8setj4Wfx
167Please respect copyright.PENANAJM0ZPd58fr
He doesn't see any roses of any color. Maybe his offically overcome it after bouncing around time?167Please respect copyright.PENANAK2aBVEPjbv
167Please respect copyright.PENANAlaJ1TGA7Zl
"Are you okay?" Says a small voice. "Sorry, I should have knocked!"167Please respect copyright.PENANAw2g2ohc6jD
167Please respect copyright.PENANAO7lbCKZpnv
It's Levi. "Levi-"167Please respect copyright.PENANAAAUuXSlqyb
167Please respect copyright.PENANAR8ln9BA3Xj
Levi looks anxious. "Levi, we're not going to hurt you. RING has fallen. You're free to leave if you want to go."167Please respect copyright.PENANAuMjm8OsWq9
167Please respect copyright.PENANAydi2JMWKT2
"Where would I go? This is... Nadine said it's Canada."167Please respect copyright.PENANAfMwtWNfR9k
167Please respect copyright.PENANATCGTUJAaG1
"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..."167Please respect copyright.PENANAQXvdLifu75
167Please respect copyright.PENANAdD5s8NZJ1R
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...167Please respect copyright.PENANASHO3kaeB09
167Please respect copyright.PENANAL45c6Cix9h
"Levi." He says taking both his hands. Levi's now on the verge of tears. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAEKHR52nOMh
167Please respect copyright.PENANA02Kf7vTYEh
"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?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAAV0V5X0FV5
167Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2G9erWkP7
He nods tearfully.167Please respect copyright.PENANAffBZc5jKAf
167Please respect copyright.PENANAJLrFgJ6kZr
"Do you want to get some sleep? When was the last time you had a good nights rest?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAU1Aw7tPwge
167Please respect copyright.PENANAkjxg8mYNvh
"....."167Please respect copyright.PENANAWt6ewIByeY

"Lunch won't be for a little while."167Please respect copyright.PENANACTyeiA8uD6
167Please respect copyright.PENANAOYacZ8EyOh
"Can you stand outside the room?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAOMiJ1gNBfJ
167Please respect copyright.PENANAFDEsWGIGcQ
"Sure, bud!"167Please respect copyright.PENANANlb8wWjT5N
167Please respect copyright.PENANAGsiehqZa82
And he follows Levi who's clinging to him and is stuck standing outside Levi's room. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAuGiPjUAeMm
167Please respect copyright.PENANA3rQrod0VJ3
Nadine's showering, and Kaylee hasn't come out of her room. The door is locked. Is she thinking? Decompressing?167Please respect copyright.PENANAmjbwS0FLr8

167Please respect copyright.PENANADpNiz3zkkS
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. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAAoa7PygTOd
167Please respect copyright.PENANAEnTHqFaVWC
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. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAuOJyoyFleZ
167Please respect copyright.PENANAQDTcs9r9z3
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.167Please respect copyright.PENANAf2JnZc8ugu
167Please respect copyright.PENANAfmSEdhqYlT
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?167Please respect copyright.PENANAzero1lTOCn
167Please respect copyright.PENANAwSckQYsIyi
She eventually takes a seat on a plastic bench, shoulders slumped over again.167Please respect copyright.PENANAFNuU6IPJyi
167Please respect copyright.PENANANTkbcFnxbW
"Hello there again."167Please respect copyright.PENANAUgaYkDLCIs
167Please respect copyright.PENANAudWU2fZVUj
It's Clara and she takes a seat beside Kiera. "Can't sleep?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAv89RPaUXIp
167Please respect copyright.PENANAHNssBRitZw
Kiera shakes her head. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAWKxYIO9ppU
167Please respect copyright.PENANAjA2TSQHzAR
"Neither can I."167Please respect copyright.PENANAEMxk8Os7ZM
167Please respect copyright.PENANATiYHRKh0lf
Kiera gives her a look. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAK4uvmwTOJC
167Please respect copyright.PENANA28hRTuk4MX
"Uh, yeah, um, Bobby is actually my fiance. Well, ex. I can't marry him after everything that has happened..."167Please respect copyright.PENANAgkA4uQ1p5t
167Please respect copyright.PENANAQdtzeat7Eu
"......"167Please respect copyright.PENANACsW7XVQkY1
167Please respect copyright.PENANAcw0soxc3zL
"Kiera. When RING held your prisoner. What was Bobby like? How did he treat you?"167Please respect copyright.PENANA575pzTn3Gz
167Please respect copyright.PENANAVRRxjh2hF7
"I could tell you how Nadine May treated me, Bonnie too. I don't think Bobby worked there when I was there."167Please respect copyright.PENANA3ak5XStJmU
167Please respect copyright.PENANA3HzkvmLotw
"Really?"167Please respect copyright.PENANA2Wl0PIGops
167Please respect copyright.PENANAox4s51UFAp
"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. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAHY5xYsAhJ6
167Please respect copyright.PENANAQvNA1gQQuD
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.167Please respect copyright.PENANA6eTPyNNo0N
167Please respect copyright.PENANAEHesUZpjdo
My life isn't mine anymore." 167Please respect copyright.PENANAe5IE9gFBnW
167Please respect copyright.PENANAOhWKlh9qek
And she bends over crying. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAq84S9dcgdI
167Please respect copyright.PENANAYQ76EX72OI
"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-"167Please respect copyright.PENANADIgstriuRp
167Please respect copyright.PENANAfHMHdNHfDT
"At the momemt, I just want to go back to the U.S. Did you know I had a younger brother?167Please respect copyright.PENANAqrZQ14ZGsZ
167Please respect copyright.PENANAofkF18hVCb
Turns out I do."167Please respect copyright.PENANAxWPV1HVMMT
167Please respect copyright.PENANASrcUiuF4GQ
"Do you want to see him?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAe4ZHEHo3CH
167Please respect copyright.PENANADwT6GFf88C
"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."167Please respect copyright.PENANAv4wO6M0TzQ
167Please respect copyright.PENANAa6V75WacLS
"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."167Please respect copyright.PENANA0U3H1Mo2o9
167Please respect copyright.PENANAnI9uIviiOY
"I don't know."167Please respect copyright.PENANAWb9U9bdDCj
167Please respect copyright.PENANA5301OLokEE
"There you are, Kiera!"167Please respect copyright.PENANAl6SFrNoYUh
167Please respect copyright.PENANAAblASZa4dh
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.167Please respect copyright.PENANAJk1avBb1zi
167Please respect copyright.PENANAKEPxhL510G
"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."167Please respect copyright.PENANAT0dhNiFc7x
167Please respect copyright.PENANAlUz4fO6TWC
"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.167Please respect copyright.PENANAMJsD0I5Vli

He wakes up, Nadine in his face, awake. He sits up. "Yeah?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAbM6YVTh6AF
167Please respect copyright.PENANAFb7c33nRV5
She is sitting up in bed. He sits up, looking at the clock on the wall. 1 a.m167Please respect copyright.PENANAc7bRPSa8LN
167Please respect copyright.PENANAMv8ucOMnal
"Can't sleep?" He asks.167Please respect copyright.PENANAN6aTZT40uB

"No?"167Please respect copyright.PENANACez9EK1K2O

A shaky breath passes Elliot's lips. Last time, Nadine did try to take her life. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAcgRUlFxCVf
167Please respect copyright.PENANAnUg484aJpD
"Please promise you won't!" He begs, taking her hands in his and lowers his head into her chest, tears streaming down his face. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAAroeBFok5z
167Please respect copyright.PENANAwXRrdhK9SB
He may not be able to be with her, but it won't stop him loving her. His feelings are real. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAhmSvztiDIf

167Please respect copyright.PENANAUi4YvMI96n

"What did she tell you?"167Please respect copyright.PENANASp0t6jINuP

167Please respect copyright.PENANAZFuQE4kymS
"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.167Please respect copyright.PENANAw6UzZvTIPo
167Please respect copyright.PENANAUNnIOKixOV
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. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAdUZDe8ubry
167Please respect copyright.PENANAhaURyz9T1D
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."167Please respect copyright.PENANAoE4HJPnIrI
167Please respect copyright.PENANAarQfwfpiXt
"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."167Please respect copyright.PENANADrklSFYPbL
167Please respect copyright.PENANAsdmF1J23T3
She looks up at him. "What?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAvvsNPAFq5d
167Please respect copyright.PENANA55CxaSuMAB
"She's on the team I'm on."167Please respect copyright.PENANAMJB9WvuGfu

167Please respect copyright.PENANAf8T4MWi9Bx
"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. 167Please respect copyright.PENANANvjFe50hTt
167Please respect copyright.PENANAaOEohQJs1y
Like I said, RING is no more now. I never wanted to hurt her or anyone anyway."167Please respect copyright.PENANASJZorvzQum

"How about I take you to see your parents?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAmtsSMEOf25
167Please respect copyright.PENANAhsR5XyFQBr
"Goodnight, Elliot." And she lay's back down to sleep, back to him. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAF8UGRHHYOQ

167Please respect copyright.PENANA6aVhP1EqBi
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. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAoS2UVeBC3Q
167Please respect copyright.PENANAT30b5CUA1Y
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. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAo27IVF1vbv
167Please respect copyright.PENANAneyYskZhcH
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?167Please respect copyright.PENANAcBJARoRvsQ
167Please respect copyright.PENANAb3ODEdxQCO
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.167Please respect copyright.PENANAO5fwoECyHZ
167Please respect copyright.PENANALSZpZaluZw
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. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAz9AP1gOZim
167Please respect copyright.PENANAz7nzHrR88r
"Hello?" Says a sleepy sounding voice. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAZzR3WF0AKA

Levi takes a deep breath in, struggling to find the words. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAFQjHQ1V7IX

"Hello?" The sleepy voice repeats.167Please respect copyright.PENANACBHiO5We2J

"V-Vincent..." Levi whispers. 167Please respect copyright.PENANA4zKFO6QrjP
167Please respect copyright.PENANAxtuN7822NK
"Who's asking?" Vincent snaps back, now a little more away, his attention now captured.167Please respect copyright.PENANAfMxp5fM8vO

Just drop it and RUN."167Please respect copyright.PENANAp5qhQhRMxa
167Please respect copyright.PENANAHaBaYB7AAR
Vincent hears the phone drop and the sound of squelching snow. He climbs out of bed and is shaking Allie away.167Please respect copyright.PENANAasgG1VGkrE
167Please respect copyright.PENANAZfPFRm1Hxe
She sits up annoyed. "Get up, wake the others. I'm going to get General Peterson, there is a solid lead on Elliot."167Please respect copyright.PENANAzBOtaa1IFr

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.167Please respect copyright.PENANAS0M6n9Nilz
167Please respect copyright.PENANA3U2d7IGZIu
"Levi Preston?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAq4I0YWE1Lz
167Please respect copyright.PENANAclwgNraQq3
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. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAo43H9h48Gh
167Please respect copyright.PENANAm8Kjhpwup8
"Do you have I.D to confirm your identity?" The older grey haired man asks. Levi shakes his head, saying nothing. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAmMjR0AfdzW
167Please respect copyright.PENANAlQ85eVXOf5
"Can you get up off the table, please?"167Please respect copyright.PENANA7CSA2jdsNn
167Please respect copyright.PENANA8GFd5X7DXu
Levi sits up and Vincent helps him down, he weights practically nothing, skinny while Vicent is taller than he remembers and beefed up. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAKgIwNnB4bg
167Please respect copyright.PENANA1GrFw1NIM4
"It's you, bud." Vincent finally speaks. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAIZ30CMApGy
167Please respect copyright.PENANAzt065Di3uO
"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.167Please respect copyright.PENANAWdXqLMVaax

167Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ2hnjafoU
"Fine, have it your way." General Peterson snaps, pulling out handcuffs. "Wait, wait, wait!" Vincent begs, Levi on the brink of tears. 167Please respect copyright.PENANABjTL1ASxMU
167Please respect copyright.PENANATct2Q1i0CT
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."167Please respect copyright.PENANAjcDSocyTdI

167Please respect copyright.PENANAlzwk3XET6Q

167Please respect copyright.PENANARse1bJfqF7
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-"167Please respect copyright.PENANATH7rHZ9vBZ
167Please respect copyright.PENANAiEN6JCsJx8
