Bonnie's lying in a hospital bed, secured to it and semi drugged out, a tube down her nose hooked up to a machine.162Please respect copyright.PENANAI3TRilWyCO
162Please respect copyright.PENANAH7TnoSddAO
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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANA7aTRHUm6Uc
162Please respect copyright.PENANAECmabPPnjI
General Peterson followed by Clara. They bring over a chair from the corner of the room, inching closer to Bonnie. 162Please respect copyright.PENANACB5zNR6wrS

"Morning, Bonnie." General Peterson says.162Please respect copyright.PENANA0ijk2U8NoC

"Okay, we'll talk then."162Please respect copyright.PENANANkO3fDibPE
162Please respect copyright.PENANAkjZ2DPIpmC
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.162Please respect copyright.PENANA6GitbC2oh3

"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-"162Please respect copyright.PENANAilgTnOSmH2
162Please respect copyright.PENANA4amKbsKkyO
"Bonnie Desmond."162Please respect copyright.PENANA4aeNTgUbsS

"They? RING?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAjUMNKM7ffg
162Please respect copyright.PENANADUMmr7VzTu
"No! Not RING! They're not the only ones out there!" She yells, coughing from the pain of the tube down her throat.162Please respect copyright.PENANAOD9IlsiWwk
162Please respect copyright.PENANAKW22QSRV6J

162Please respect copyright.PENANAsLjtDeTbNf
"Yeah..."162Please respect copyright.PENANABLMKvkNbW6

162Please respect copyright.PENANAMDgguuKHjL

162Please respect copyright.PENANAykqj57jwmM
"Yes."162Please respect copyright.PENANAAPtB08P4HQ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAuqD1wG1i6L

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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAj6HxFun0TV
162Please respect copyright.PENANAcPTekJDRfc
"One moment, Bonnie."162Please respect copyright.PENANAMvKlOiEGJi
General Peterson dragging a protesting Clara out the room.162Please respect copyright.PENANAHNAE4WamXS
162Please respect copyright.PENANANgvXC8mFuk
"Don't hurt her!" Yells Bobby outside who Vincent is walking through the corridors. He sees General Peterson scolding Clara.162Please respect copyright.PENANAuCyubq9et4
162Please respect copyright.PENANALIGBRNE7Mp
"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAjzmSR60QXU
162Please respect copyright.PENANAfd7vjZs4zr
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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAAw08O04N90
162Please respect copyright.PENANA5h5cJH8jlJ
She immediatly gives Clara a hug. "It's okay, I'm right here. Things can get intense alot... I'm Allie."162Please respect copyright.PENANA5YZje0Tk4F
162Please respect copyright.PENANAhD4wyV5I5t
"Clara."162Please respect copyright.PENANAvy6Hn8UELj
162Please respect copyright.PENANAaukf3L3KVi
"You're the police officer."162Please respect copyright.PENANALVX2MMQbOW
162Please respect copyright.PENANAMWtoMMAUgz
"You...?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAV61BXNg33X
162Please respect copyright.PENANAT1XgP81Tg1
"U.S Military."162Please respect copyright.PENANAbH67kgqV1X
162Please respect copyright.PENANAzh77c12TU0
"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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAZLhHBioMzp
162Please respect copyright.PENANAtmrcX4QHtj
"Oh, shit." Bobby says. 162Please respect copyright.PENANA9hPw6LN9dB

"Where's Maxis?"162Please respect copyright.PENANA0G22xqkagp
162Please respect copyright.PENANAigjlwTUvmD
"Kiera, you need to go back to your room, okay? Everything is a little chaotic right now."162Please respect copyright.PENANAqhrMD3yZEw
162Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZPEBpYtG6
"Then why you'd bring me?!"162Please respect copyright.PENANA6VyM6dFb3X
162Please respect copyright.PENANAkAJPxKost2
"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."162Please respect copyright.PENANApHDzc7o6mb
162Please respect copyright.PENANAWl3XjEMrKw
"Kiera Bailey. Return to your room, that's an order. Maxis will be back soon." General Peterson speaks up.162Please respect copyright.PENANAZmHwrWPL9N
162Please respect copyright.PENANAqhIbDkzCke
"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANA748G5I1Lv1
162Please respect copyright.PENANA0SJHsCBwqc
Clara takes a step forward holding her hand out to Kiera. Kiera reaches forward and they walk off together.162Please respect copyright.PENANArBzBYfmK2j
162Please respect copyright.PENANAZchgyYmQBP
"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAev8uqGH5dQ
162Please respect copyright.PENANA8NUhVUNdo2
"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."162Please respect copyright.PENANA6E8yLFlwYe
162Please respect copyright.PENANAMM9FtUYyYc

"Woah." Elliot says looking up at their surroundings as Nadine pushes open the door. "This is yours?!"162Please respect copyright.PENANAjfhXNh9BEf
162Please respect copyright.PENANAM5KghB3NLZ
"It is, a safe house of mine. I rarely use it." Kaylee responds. It's a two story holiday villa overlooking the beach.162Please respect copyright.PENANA6yBdbLf5fh
162Please respect copyright.PENANA8tXa1ig4aN
"Just don't touch any big bright red buttons on remotes."162Please respect copyright.PENANAOV25Ok83u4
162Please respect copyright.PENANAWffs6xCoE7
"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAk3amdnyqgs
162Please respect copyright.PENANAB8oJLkIwMs
"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."162Please respect copyright.PENANAPEyIAN7yLC
162Please respect copyright.PENANAtIyjnQZwKc
"I... I actually kinda miss my older sister right now. But boy, would she have some choice words for me..." Nadine trails off.162Please respect copyright.PENANAcPck9G02DD
162Please respect copyright.PENANAQe41OQZm13
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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAS885qretLj
162Please respect copyright.PENANAV5zE9iV7uq
He takes a deep breath in and heads for the bed, sitting down, looking at his hands.162Please respect copyright.PENANAJBMY3hGFf2
162Please respect copyright.PENANApLwWeoyusR
They aren't physically blood stained, but he just took a life. He ran over one of his own. 162Please respect copyright.PENANApUFoUguBPF
162Please respect copyright.PENANA0Fr9RRQLBh
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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANANNsnZP8KnT
162Please respect copyright.PENANAwf3LKtclmH
He doesn't see any roses of any color. Maybe his offically overcome it after bouncing around time?162Please respect copyright.PENANAnjgT8Pkvdv
162Please respect copyright.PENANA0qETNsciuK
"Are you okay?" Says a small voice. "Sorry, I should have knocked!"162Please respect copyright.PENANA4vrWwpHq1h
162Please respect copyright.PENANAzibAbgg1av
It's Levi. "Levi-"162Please respect copyright.PENANA9S43VsUsnY
162Please respect copyright.PENANAr2iYngE0q0
Levi looks anxious. "Levi, we're not going to hurt you. RING has fallen. You're free to leave if you want to go."162Please respect copyright.PENANAxXaH1kxJSL
162Please respect copyright.PENANAd0RgAXahci
"Where would I go? This is... Nadine said it's Canada."162Please respect copyright.PENANABMm6VvOLK0
162Please respect copyright.PENANA3j04vNWrNK
"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..."162Please respect copyright.PENANAA5R8Mbd6ke
162Please respect copyright.PENANAf7bcybLMPC
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...162Please respect copyright.PENANAPKAngvEvsv
162Please respect copyright.PENANApzLAZuyqlX
"Levi." He says taking both his hands. Levi's now on the verge of tears. 162Please respect copyright.PENANA5YajDo77Md
162Please respect copyright.PENANAHI0skvo0vk
"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?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAHmhzF8lexN
162Please respect copyright.PENANATu7fvobWlX
He nods tearfully.162Please respect copyright.PENANAoARj4pyBGc
162Please respect copyright.PENANAqN6mFi9m6w
"Do you want to get some sleep? When was the last time you had a good nights rest?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAGTCm3FYxBa
162Please respect copyright.PENANA3BAo5mBTDg
"....."162Please respect copyright.PENANAIFUzQTg9mN

"Lunch won't be for a little while."162Please respect copyright.PENANAMcMoqaPHCq
162Please respect copyright.PENANAEDl5RrBnYd
"Can you stand outside the room?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAdekZL4a2f4
162Please respect copyright.PENANAEypsIqWoJl
"Sure, bud!"162Please respect copyright.PENANAPrtWXo6MzS
162Please respect copyright.PENANArvZC8KcHRt
And he follows Levi who's clinging to him and is stuck standing outside Levi's room. 162Please respect copyright.PENANA4WLqTIzEYK
162Please respect copyright.PENANAuZ4DBwD4y1
Nadine's showering, and Kaylee hasn't come out of her room. The door is locked. Is she thinking? Decompressing?162Please respect copyright.PENANAScMtCs5LTY

162Please respect copyright.PENANAJnrHecJKU3
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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAojzOsie2jJ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAohPe6XqblL
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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAX8bEHFdy2N
162Please respect copyright.PENANAL0dcf0Be4L
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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAu9bu6d35XR
162Please respect copyright.PENANAinONkbeLqe
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?162Please respect copyright.PENANAvRz0R8VryL
162Please respect copyright.PENANAPwcbp33jx8
She eventually takes a seat on a plastic bench, shoulders slumped over again.162Please respect copyright.PENANAiOYEAxS0w7
162Please respect copyright.PENANAjs977HVdTq
"Hello there again."162Please respect copyright.PENANAWXDEz1z5my
162Please respect copyright.PENANArnvJYhNsFj
It's Clara and she takes a seat beside Kiera. "Can't sleep?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAP52yEsw0ix
162Please respect copyright.PENANAwk7f8QdRiP
Kiera shakes her head. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAPYzt6Kyhaf
162Please respect copyright.PENANAzCQYNIe95c
"Neither can I."162Please respect copyright.PENANAd4oONP0QBY
162Please respect copyright.PENANAOuo2vFCq0T
Kiera gives her a look. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAhH5BnV24SW
162Please respect copyright.PENANACEAbtNemKv
"Uh, yeah, um, Bobby is actually my fiance. Well, ex. I can't marry him after everything that has happened..."162Please respect copyright.PENANAQxlAQ8TT8d
162Please respect copyright.PENANAs4eqPgFWgx
"......"162Please respect copyright.PENANA1yZhU13K8g
162Please respect copyright.PENANAd3aPgliMuo
"Kiera. When RING held your prisoner. What was Bobby like? How did he treat you?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAcaIFrZe7Si
162Please respect copyright.PENANAcAGohyEDHd
"I could tell you how Nadine May treated me, Bonnie too. I don't think Bobby worked there when I was there."162Please respect copyright.PENANA7YQMGhY8rf
162Please respect copyright.PENANAtjDgDtkxda
"Really?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAbQB1GWWhjX
162Please respect copyright.PENANAMeSLJ7ImIt
"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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAW02C11mWgE
162Please respect copyright.PENANAySwcA8HDNH
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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAt1rxmJNujK
162Please respect copyright.PENANAZCyn38cozj
My life isn't mine anymore." 162Please respect copyright.PENANAsOSyUxNapV
162Please respect copyright.PENANABVlb96gy3a
And she bends over crying. 162Please respect copyright.PENANApx4xfIIeE6
162Please respect copyright.PENANAeB2PnoK1Fx
"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-"162Please respect copyright.PENANApnlV7pjcO6
162Please respect copyright.PENANAlQZiW6PJOH
"At the momemt, I just want to go back to the U.S. Did you know I had a younger brother?162Please respect copyright.PENANAcYKRhaGlBy
162Please respect copyright.PENANAGpZaqHJjl3
Turns out I do."162Please respect copyright.PENANANGxJshi7IM
162Please respect copyright.PENANAKlPgO076RZ
"Do you want to see him?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAlzcx1F8XwU
162Please respect copyright.PENANAMSzGFIkQFU
"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."162Please respect copyright.PENANAi0wdwqvWQ3
162Please respect copyright.PENANA4OW51L1BzR
"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."162Please respect copyright.PENANArmXPQN2m4N
162Please respect copyright.PENANAS0xejsQVxy
"I don't know."162Please respect copyright.PENANA5mvhBvXwFq
162Please respect copyright.PENANAkeXk6Bdf89
"There you are, Kiera!"162Please respect copyright.PENANAPZSTtpKwHO
162Please respect copyright.PENANAf8iSENatdy
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.162Please respect copyright.PENANA4sLfBOImNt
162Please respect copyright.PENANAp9G0f4suBx
"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."162Please respect copyright.PENANAb6dVfKFKb6
162Please respect copyright.PENANA543CcRKL0e
"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANArPuWibD1rk

He wakes up, Nadine in his face, awake. He sits up. "Yeah?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAsB6BspXQ4s
162Please respect copyright.PENANAeWLag9Ra21
She is sitting up in bed. He sits up, looking at the clock on the wall. 1 a.m162Please respect copyright.PENANAmpBcIsZxPL
162Please respect copyright.PENANAYI7XU27c9b
"Can't sleep?" He asks.162Please respect copyright.PENANAot8wLTgiXu

"Please promise you won't!" He begs, taking her hands in his and lowers his head into her chest, tears streaming down his face. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAcZyB8TXkPg
162Please respect copyright.PENANAAPBKp1LNs3
He may not be able to be with her, but it won't stop him loving her. His feelings are real. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAln9LOBCPGV
162Please respect copyright.PENANAB90Gz566jD

"Will you hate me if I say I'm glad?"162Please respect copyright.PENANArYIO1PWr02
162Please respect copyright.PENANANleTT3SV3a
"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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANA6CyfDEG2Ay
162Please respect copyright.PENANAtGs1HmtVD5
We're our own worst enemy."162Please respect copyright.PENANAIiq351qfPO

162Please respect copyright.PENANAxLDxcCP45D
"What did she tell you?"162Please respect copyright.PENANA1tgmbh1r9r
162Please respect copyright.PENANA3DehPpRhzF
"God, Angels and fallen angels, demons exist." She laughs a little, but it's a more nervous one. 162Please respect copyright.PENANActGVLjHTO7
162Please respect copyright.PENANAqCVxHtHDsZ
"Do you believe her?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAKkorIzs4NO
162Please respect copyright.PENANAi2BWKNMDeJ

"Such as?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAZ28zv06QvY
162Please respect copyright.PENANA8Xp8dpdTk9
"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANANva5KEI0Lj
162Please respect copyright.PENANAQkNSCorcHV
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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAg0MsXxQIbe
162Please respect copyright.PENANAUXpgJC0iKz
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."162Please respect copyright.PENANAV1Rl1xhl9L
162Please respect copyright.PENANAVVm8UVXEp5
"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."162Please respect copyright.PENANAM9mZElGSym
162Please respect copyright.PENANAwOtpuDza3P
She looks up at him. "What?"162Please respect copyright.PENANApCPN9FpdY8
162Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ3iAlHimW
"She's on the team I'm on."162Please respect copyright.PENANAysWuSeMuEH

162Please respect copyright.PENANA4hh17nPf5F
"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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANA8QM7dP7nNI
162Please respect copyright.PENANAUW5lDcXWzD
Like I said, RING is no more now. I never wanted to hurt her or anyone anyway."162Please respect copyright.PENANArzpdjBIswE
162Please respect copyright.PENANAcMFwzaVpZf
"What can I do to make it better for you?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAuOofz6jPYl
162Please respect copyright.PENANAWi7m8p3qEg
"There's nothing."162Please respect copyright.PENANAV4JNhyUFuF
162Please respect copyright.PENANARyCs0tglHk
"How about I take you to see your parents?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAEXWPYQsChr
162Please respect copyright.PENANACzwIWM0eJG
"Goodnight, Elliot." And she lay's back down to sleep, back to him. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAvHLr0u4cbI
162Please respect copyright.PENANAPgQ4jwNd65
"Your sister."162Please respect copyright.PENANArhqTWM1zcB

"......"162Please respect copyright.PENANAy4WpfyXHHe
162Please respect copyright.PENANArIAHwasepB
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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANASKZWXfjKoo
162Please respect copyright.PENANAullIJXaIOy
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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAmXjhJg9Tdi
162Please respect copyright.PENANA21KYhnQdPS
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?162Please respect copyright.PENANAI5IOccuXVJ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAR4b1Nsm1xu
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.162Please respect copyright.PENANA1XEo7fQ39i
162Please respect copyright.PENANAs0LIDvNJsn
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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAcGm1NLzLBy
162Please respect copyright.PENANAuorxRi3Vfi
"Hello?" Says a sleepy sounding voice. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAcoxBFtDqV3

Levi takes a deep breath in, struggling to find the words. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAYlhLj0V2xl
162Please respect copyright.PENANAIK7tpDp079
"Hello?" The sleepy voice repeats.162Please respect copyright.PENANAqGX3fI3FvN

"V-Vincent..." Levi whispers. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAeP8CWT8qem
162Please respect copyright.PENANAglvbGgTI1w
"Who's asking?" Vincent snaps back, now a little more away, his attention now captured.162Please respect copyright.PENANAi7aasuUQvi

Just drop it and RUN."162Please respect copyright.PENANAeE0blwP6yO
162Please respect copyright.PENANACDtE6skOeX
Vincent hears the phone drop and the sound of squelching snow. He climbs out of bed and is shaking Allie away.162Please respect copyright.PENANAPnEtqwTcii
162Please respect copyright.PENANATZ5CI1z8p8
She sits up annoyed. "Get up, wake the others. I'm going to get General Peterson, there is a solid lead on Elliot."162Please respect copyright.PENANAhLKB9kIjSB

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.162Please respect copyright.PENANA2dwst4ddDr
162Please respect copyright.PENANARP2sRdmyxd
"Levi Preston?"162Please respect copyright.PENANA0efKBRaT7d
162Please respect copyright.PENANAnGAZUwuZZ5
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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAZNZNTubeQ8
162Please respect copyright.PENANAghPTqswAeM
"Do you have I.D to confirm your identity?" The older grey haired man asks. Levi shakes his head, saying nothing. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAeDhcF9Mrue
162Please respect copyright.PENANAmpI2YsxXIk
"Can you get up off the table, please?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAw4neOtK4Qx
162Please respect copyright.PENANAYU325ZUj0M
Levi sits up and Vincent helps him down, he weights practically nothing, skinny while Vicent is taller than he remembers and beefed up. 162Please respect copyright.PENANA09zp6fl1tS
162Please respect copyright.PENANAv94SuRooNB
"It's you, bud." Vincent finally speaks. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAtHeWhJXbnB
162Please respect copyright.PENANAzOiNCVOD0C
"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANA4GqfF8WPQ6
162Please respect copyright.PENANAjIAnLArlXZ
"That's my... boss. Genereal Peterson." Vincent whispers and then Levi realizes, everyone is wearing camo, they're military.162Please respect copyright.PENANAHSS0Zi2Izl

"It's complicated."162Please respect copyright.PENANAbpDF29iA8p

"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAPPz2DGTb1P
162Please respect copyright.PENANAL6ogeMD7dv
"Fine, have it your way." General Peterson snaps, pulling out handcuffs. "Wait, wait, wait!" Vincent begs, Levi on the brink of tears. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAIeJI978hWS
162Please respect copyright.PENANAiQjngOMVjq
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."162Please respect copyright.PENANAVY5sMLE1mt

162Please respect copyright.PENANABvV38xjnG4
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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAurBkSjdaBr
162Please respect copyright.PENANA5hV1AwJ7Wl
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-"162Please respect copyright.PENANA1w9QiggQSg
162Please respect copyright.PENANAX3qBHAd7LX
General Peterson cuts him off, holding out a photo from the police department. "Is this the Supervisor?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAsBeJuoMkrt
162Please respect copyright.PENANAzr0LSbNcnp
"Yeah, that's her. N-Nadine M-May."162Please respect copyright.PENANAzQCGKO8aHU

162Please respect copyright.PENANAfZEQw3T5wN
