Bonnie's lying in a hospital bed, secured to it and semi drugged out, a tube down her nose hooked up to a machine.172Please respect copyright.PENANA7Skn0XUpQb
172Please respect copyright.PENANABsQY4w12sx
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. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAawwQwYpidN
172Please respect copyright.PENANABruurZKdLn
General Peterson followed by Clara. They bring over a chair from the corner of the room, inching closer to Bonnie. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAGUzY9FF9IB
172Please respect copyright.PENANA4lQ2bdUcwa
"Morning, Bonnie." General Peterson says.172Please respect copyright.PENANANujxeoI8xr

"Do you know why you're here?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAzBrM3gxXhS

172Please respect copyright.PENANAOPDIKOZwUZ

"Okay, we'll talk then."172Please respect copyright.PENANASj1Qln83vD
172Please respect copyright.PENANArL0yA9XDQ1
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.172Please respect copyright.PENANARKI2yGDHo3

"Your blood tests indicated you had Merge in your system, and a variety of other drugs to."172Please respect copyright.PENANAYajW5QbN2p

"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-"172Please respect copyright.PENANAh37HzRkama
172Please respect copyright.PENANAh5nChPc2Rs
"Bonnie Desmond."172Please respect copyright.PENANAs30kd1xrh3

He sighs, she's stone walling him from the get go. "What are you going to do to me?" She asks.172Please respect copyright.PENANAy8vq7C0MhD
172Please respect copyright.PENANA90CMtu6Xou

172Please respect copyright.PENANA3EBpnSwZVd

172Please respect copyright.PENANAMWpecS9lJu
"They? RING?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAwG30GFDX69
172Please respect copyright.PENANAruW4kH7J0U
"No! Not RING! They're not the only ones out there!" She yells, coughing from the pain of the tube down her throat.172Please respect copyright.PENANAfCrT0LZnGT
172Please respect copyright.PENANAUcbr2gu7zL

172Please respect copyright.PENANAa16l82mP9G
Did you ask RING for continued Merge? To forget stuff you'd rather not remember?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAw9IYaEKfAa
172Please respect copyright.PENANAoYuQA21yBL
"Yeah..."172Please respect copyright.PENANAdWnABKaEoc
172Please respect copyright.PENANAbRpe2gKSCj
"Bonnie. You also had an eye test yesterday. Do you remember that? The glasses you wear, you don't actually need them. The lenses in it is fake. Why do you wear it?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAr9kpZQkP7p
172Please respect copyright.PENANA2FXH4OIjk5

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.172Please respect copyright.PENANAEm65QGWPF2
172Please respect copyright.PENANAhGVr3JcPkh
"One moment, Bonnie."172Please respect copyright.PENANApbUMBnZNcL
General Peterson dragging a protesting Clara out the room.172Please respect copyright.PENANArKnqzYxBA6
172Please respect copyright.PENANAkjN5LIOxAA
"Don't hurt her!" Yells Bobby outside who Vincent is walking through the corridors. He sees General Peterson scolding Clara.172Please respect copyright.PENANA0rpRDZWXUL
172Please respect copyright.PENANADSRKbC7caO
"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.172Please respect copyright.PENANAV6DGJAKqcy
172Please respect copyright.PENANAii6HZona9w
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.172Please respect copyright.PENANA5q8vESescr
172Please respect copyright.PENANAWaC8tpAWTK
She immediatly gives Clara a hug. "It's okay, I'm right here. Things can get intense alot... I'm Allie."172Please respect copyright.PENANAMiHbkawm7z
172Please respect copyright.PENANAA8NlkPy8A7
"Clara."172Please respect copyright.PENANAsWm80sr4PM
172Please respect copyright.PENANAOx7toUTark
"You're the police officer."172Please respect copyright.PENANADVQax3XK6Q
172Please respect copyright.PENANA4YL3TEhfJ7
"You...?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAK6XjFbhWIr
172Please respect copyright.PENANANNnKTzbMrq
"U.S Military."172Please respect copyright.PENANAtR3T1Bucjf
172Please respect copyright.PENANAFQ9PrOhXrg
"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. 172Please respect copyright.PENANA65Z5QOvLb5
172Please respect copyright.PENANA5CQQ4JTJu7
"Oh, shit." Bobby says. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAyPbsnp4NYh

"Where's Maxis?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAD1ZFlzQZHC
172Please respect copyright.PENANAm7BXyyNIbu
"Kiera, you need to go back to your room, okay? Everything is a little chaotic right now."172Please respect copyright.PENANAMCTw5GmzZI
172Please respect copyright.PENANAifg87iJY59
"Then why you'd bring me?!"172Please respect copyright.PENANA46kGXsBDkL
172Please respect copyright.PENANA3KlkUTWLgt
"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."172Please respect copyright.PENANA5ehz7zgDTK
172Please respect copyright.PENANAsGr3mfcITH
"Kiera Bailey. Return to your room, that's an order. Maxis will be back soon." General Peterson speaks up.172Please respect copyright.PENANAu0PAzAiefu
172Please respect copyright.PENANAIsZl94t3oV
"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.172Please respect copyright.PENANAiUIpaTFNKn
172Please respect copyright.PENANAPbXouTtJIk
Clara takes a step forward holding her hand out to Kiera. Kiera reaches forward and they walk off together.172Please respect copyright.PENANAzloD1lUXAl
172Please respect copyright.PENANA0v3yFboZf6
"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.172Please respect copyright.PENANAbKFf3cil9Y
172Please respect copyright.PENANAQoKPo1bErN
"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."172Please respect copyright.PENANAanfS0aiGGF
172Please respect copyright.PENANAjOvcvKsViM

"Woah." Elliot says looking up at their surroundings as Nadine pushes open the door. "This is yours?!"172Please respect copyright.PENANAhZn7gN7Jzs
172Please respect copyright.PENANAKnAW9qxOie
"It is, a safe house of mine. I rarely use it." Kaylee responds. It's a two story holiday villa overlooking the beach.172Please respect copyright.PENANAmVKF6MOo8q
172Please respect copyright.PENANAF4kkAe5ZJf
"Just don't touch any big bright red buttons on remotes."172Please respect copyright.PENANACjSQRy1ypC
172Please respect copyright.PENANAa2IAmVuq0V
"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.172Please respect copyright.PENANAjF1UWU8EZ8
172Please respect copyright.PENANAzULmX16q7b
"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."172Please respect copyright.PENANA5clQSOlpi2
172Please respect copyright.PENANA1NPHuI8iHE
"I... I actually kinda miss my older sister right now. But boy, would she have some choice words for me..." Nadine trails off.172Please respect copyright.PENANAtti7p8xBF6
172Please respect copyright.PENANAqRDggalkrY
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.172Please respect copyright.PENANA44NW54x06O
172Please respect copyright.PENANASQTWhrTYFm
He takes a deep breath in and heads for the bed, sitting down, looking at his hands.172Please respect copyright.PENANAsJEDGw1urf
172Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4aV2Yag3I
They aren't physically blood stained, but he just took a life. He ran over one of his own. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAltvrnnvYT1
172Please respect copyright.PENANADDY5tybzeb
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. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAdn4GeAgNCq
172Please respect copyright.PENANAOEWEnQhajQ
He doesn't see any roses of any color. Maybe his offically overcome it after bouncing around time?172Please respect copyright.PENANAnBBFwkDjGR
172Please respect copyright.PENANA3kgxp2Ex0H
"Are you okay?" Says a small voice. "Sorry, I should have knocked!"172Please respect copyright.PENANABRLUMsngMw
172Please respect copyright.PENANAgSjhQV5OLD
It's Levi. "Levi-"172Please respect copyright.PENANAzJVtXlzSiZ
172Please respect copyright.PENANAnAeOTEXcM9
Levi looks anxious. "Levi, we're not going to hurt you. RING has fallen. You're free to leave if you want to go."172Please respect copyright.PENANAK1TtUzQR75
172Please respect copyright.PENANAHlQmsBtC9e
"Where would I go? This is... Nadine said it's Canada."172Please respect copyright.PENANAP7uZ2iW5mz
172Please respect copyright.PENANAQfS2hXGhdx
"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..."172Please respect copyright.PENANAak1p94lFHX
172Please respect copyright.PENANAVPXYYd86dC
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...172Please respect copyright.PENANATtA6SzWLVz
172Please respect copyright.PENANAZznRQDlFLN
"Levi." He says taking both his hands. Levi's now on the verge of tears. 172Please respect copyright.PENANA1vhRVYLbRP
172Please respect copyright.PENANAV1iXB2AuMG
"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?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAItw10GkOJV
172Please respect copyright.PENANAvm0MtSETT3
He nods tearfully.172Please respect copyright.PENANAhF6qrmIJVF

"Do you want to get some sleep? When was the last time you had a good nights rest?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAM37OomWM8g

"Lunch won't be for a little while."172Please respect copyright.PENANA2Mv3PwtLSw
172Please respect copyright.PENANA9dZlkP2foV
"Can you stand outside the room?"172Please respect copyright.PENANACcv39h0wD5
172Please respect copyright.PENANA26kxCse9Nl
"Sure, bud!"172Please respect copyright.PENANAMXf14Fn4By
172Please respect copyright.PENANAcFUXnVp2f5
And he follows Levi who's clinging to him and is stuck standing outside Levi's room. 172Please respect copyright.PENANACGh9T8c0zi
172Please respect copyright.PENANAOqoAmQUwsG
Nadine's showering, and Kaylee hasn't come out of her room. The door is locked. Is she thinking? Decompressing?172Please respect copyright.PENANAi2rj8fgrsk

172Please respect copyright.PENANAvulJ6VPxsk
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. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAjR1VB4uVa4
172Please respect copyright.PENANAu1uOdDg6Dq
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. 172Please respect copyright.PENANA23F7LhpnkI
172Please respect copyright.PENANACZStAeAp9N
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.172Please respect copyright.PENANABHZasMmMsy
172Please respect copyright.PENANAqDEIbds1VD
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?172Please respect copyright.PENANAGRo3Dg2uPs
172Please respect copyright.PENANAS81msByGEU
She eventually takes a seat on a plastic bench, shoulders slumped over again.172Please respect copyright.PENANA18wh3GK9pM
172Please respect copyright.PENANATEtlcIk8ab
"Hello there again."172Please respect copyright.PENANAuzhjaOTo1s
172Please respect copyright.PENANAFARaiNWRbs
It's Clara and she takes a seat beside Kiera. "Can't sleep?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAmXcf3xFFYh
172Please respect copyright.PENANALKtHf5yU6v
Kiera shakes her head. 172Please respect copyright.PENANASpya1B323g
172Please respect copyright.PENANAHwnOaLynnU
"Neither can I."172Please respect copyright.PENANAgKjvheFCnD
172Please respect copyright.PENANAK9WJ907itO
Kiera gives her a look. 172Please respect copyright.PENANARVZvie4WNB
172Please respect copyright.PENANAshBEaKxFUK
"Uh, yeah, um, Bobby is actually my fiance. Well, ex. I can't marry him after everything that has happened..."172Please respect copyright.PENANAqbO9C3rUMl
172Please respect copyright.PENANAKwrlqPzoZn
"......"172Please respect copyright.PENANAAHHoxT9x2G
172Please respect copyright.PENANAxdLPKd37wi
"Kiera. When RING held your prisoner. What was Bobby like? How did he treat you?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAbRcLmuHFmg
172Please respect copyright.PENANAM9G97Ye2jT
"I could tell you how Nadine May treated me, Bonnie too. I don't think Bobby worked there when I was there."172Please respect copyright.PENANAsGQEM2XJCt
172Please respect copyright.PENANAvkN1thXo3Y
"Really?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAUglA7MlYAu
172Please respect copyright.PENANAxvU5WG7wz1
"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. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAsqkdMG4X1s
172Please respect copyright.PENANAtwwvrwKo4d
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.172Please respect copyright.PENANA128haaQe3G
172Please respect copyright.PENANAmbelFslu6j
My life isn't mine anymore." 172Please respect copyright.PENANA2s0zRPqE8h
172Please respect copyright.PENANAyb4tom4sYz
And she bends over crying. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAQyBzBjNI1h
172Please respect copyright.PENANAmAXPfFtJFx
"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-"172Please respect copyright.PENANAZBBS6Rz35n
172Please respect copyright.PENANAVSWJYND1HP
"At the momemt, I just want to go back to the U.S. Did you know I had a younger brother?172Please respect copyright.PENANAlSjOJm2pyG
172Please respect copyright.PENANAWJidFK28Wx
Turns out I do."172Please respect copyright.PENANAB0ggPlMHhk
172Please respect copyright.PENANA38vjMfJmb5
"Do you want to see him?"172Please respect copyright.PENANABK1v4Ext6x
172Please respect copyright.PENANAXqNorLNG6K
"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."172Please respect copyright.PENANAJUHWhaOTIg
172Please respect copyright.PENANAMj5QigUf5D
"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."172Please respect copyright.PENANAwMApSpR3K6
172Please respect copyright.PENANAnbrHWQfJbW
"I don't know."172Please respect copyright.PENANAp2NDn8rtsp
172Please respect copyright.PENANAoymiIgKuvl
"There you are, Kiera!"172Please respect copyright.PENANAdFr3wkLAY0
172Please respect copyright.PENANAbSRuYRFYIa
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.172Please respect copyright.PENANAlcby0NDhsU
172Please respect copyright.PENANAXfyJ33ZkxC
"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."172Please respect copyright.PENANAW1YJF2I2Do
172Please respect copyright.PENANAnqWs6A78a0
"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.172Please respect copyright.PENANAuOkb3hKLjZ

"Elliot."172Please respect copyright.PENANATOxsGxIjWM

He wakes up, Nadine in his face, awake. He sits up. "Yeah?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAQE6tSfuyPq
172Please respect copyright.PENANAO3KOAyOuUE
She is sitting up in bed. He sits up, looking at the clock on the wall. 1 a.m172Please respect copyright.PENANAm1G8V2KNZ3
172Please respect copyright.PENANAMSRbcPDwK0
"Can't sleep?" He asks.172Please respect copyright.PENANAeYH81b5f9r

"Yeah, I feel sick."172Please respect copyright.PENANArzP37sMFHw

"No?"172Please respect copyright.PENANA3RCGCnwnke

A shaky breath passes Elliot's lips. Last time, Nadine did try to take her life. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAH4uK9YBr87

"Please promise you won't!" He begs, taking her hands in his and lowers his head into her chest, tears streaming down his face. 172Please respect copyright.PENANATJtzEvqElM
172Please respect copyright.PENANAuyhEyEfpmE
He may not be able to be with her, but it won't stop him loving her. His feelings are real. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAGo6B7tajKS
172Please respect copyright.PENANASmDCuUlkda
"Elliot- I-I won't. I promise! And the Police we're on our heads anyway, RING is no more now."172Please respect copyright.PENANArdNmfoq8he
172Please respect copyright.PENANAAnqRi3qNlI
"Will you hate me if I say I'm glad?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAaFvsk7JMUd
172Please respect copyright.PENANAiKzmji61Az
"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. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAkcdJdNlPp2
172Please respect copyright.PENANARGpTCTCD3k
We're our own worst enemy."172Please respect copyright.PENANAKk6HSYEWrZ
172Please respect copyright.PENANAmXUBOakFa8
"You can say that again."172Please respect copyright.PENANAaV0KGpSfoY
172Please respect copyright.PENANArQi3f7oxOv
"I just don't understand why you're out here, Elliot. Why come all this way? I don't believe it was to take us down."172Please respect copyright.PENANAryksfiRhCI
172Please respect copyright.PENANAqu9TIpFL2Q
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."172Please respect copyright.PENANAVfNFZgnKyw
172Please respect copyright.PENANAyOEkNkAIbv
"Try me. I've heard plenty of batshit stuff over the years. You know something Bonnie once told me?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAiBKeiHlZwK
172Please respect copyright.PENANAnjRF4WrIab
"What did she tell you?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAA3KuqTemA8
172Please respect copyright.PENANAnls3atu426
"God, Angels and fallen angels, demons exist." She laughs a little, but it's a more nervous one. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAuBXwUfUVZq
172Please respect copyright.PENANAOKwVDkPQHp
"Do you believe her?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9cVAHQqmj
172Please respect copyright.PENANA3ieP6hOgg9
"Uh, I wouldn't say that I don't believe her, but believing it... I'm not quite there yet. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAPTSSK1WfPT
172Please respect copyright.PENANAX5mPWVtSW3
There's alot of places I'm not quite at yet."172Please respect copyright.PENANAx2FPADEZo5
172Please respect copyright.PENANABkzCCGJHAc
"Such as?"172Please respect copyright.PENANA4bgiT7o708
172Please respect copyright.PENANAWO6p7UUPyq
"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.172Please respect copyright.PENANAMZ1G86YThV
172Please respect copyright.PENANAxXnuNKjgHa
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. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAw2GjzzuQat
172Please respect copyright.PENANAGS0qQIrqDq
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."172Please respect copyright.PENANA7q9wD7H0w1
172Please respect copyright.PENANArshZTOWukY
"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."172Please respect copyright.PENANAeqZ38fD0Xs
172Please respect copyright.PENANAXe3Xe1CF39
She looks up at him. "What?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAHPgzDZ4fK8
172Please respect copyright.PENANASsyARpeTUe
"She's on the team I'm on."172Please respect copyright.PENANADzgHjvkvlx
172Please respect copyright.PENANAfKFDwh77Ok
"......"172Please respect copyright.PENANAjm8MIKvnEg
172Please respect copyright.PENANAhwmxd3ln9I
"You're disgusted, angry at me."172Please respect copyright.PENANAiGlwsALW6K
172Please respect copyright.PENANAcIu4o8sTe3
"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. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAKg7H11YNem
172Please respect copyright.PENANAS8XyZ9FXHG
Like I said, RING is no more now. I never wanted to hurt her or anyone anyway."172Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2YHn8FThB
172Please respect copyright.PENANAhzBwIJqWV5
"What can I do to make it better for you?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAKAIn9namsc
172Please respect copyright.PENANAN9x1CsYsh4
"There's nothing."172Please respect copyright.PENANAKLi1rggxft
172Please respect copyright.PENANAR5Vw0tSlzE
"How about I take you to see your parents?"172Please respect copyright.PENANArzAh2hLX1n
172Please respect copyright.PENANAFzC8JredcA
"Goodnight, Elliot." And she lay's back down to sleep, back to him. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAkv0K5pb7Bd
172Please respect copyright.PENANAe36N9wK8Zm
"Your sister."172Please respect copyright.PENANASenrxywNib
172Please respect copyright.PENANAxvAem7o1lr
"......"172Please respect copyright.PENANAAc4PXxHjmL
172Please respect copyright.PENANAiTpnIb4V1T
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. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAmg4JXB61gy
172Please respect copyright.PENANARw5lRTUmVj
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. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAtZflNVkmGT
172Please respect copyright.PENANA1wwmiJq6FW
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?172Please respect copyright.PENANAw3BuSQSxVo
172Please respect copyright.PENANAHzyKytpHmp
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.172Please respect copyright.PENANAZ52qa03Fje
172Please respect copyright.PENANAPsmd508B8Z
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. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAXSfhL0FIyf
172Please respect copyright.PENANA7dV1Euzqw4
"Hello?" Says a sleepy sounding voice. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAlwzh6opH2X
172Please respect copyright.PENANAisRbANa23f
Levi takes a deep breath in, struggling to find the words. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAtbs9uD5EPu
172Please respect copyright.PENANAUq5vfQXZgD
"Hello?" The sleepy voice repeats.172Please respect copyright.PENANACSInqiJViB
172Please respect copyright.PENANAwvR3cMO4N7
"V-Vincent..." Levi whispers. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAPU8jSSsTOH
172Please respect copyright.PENANAM4DgEALMWx
"Who's asking?" Vincent snaps back, now a little more away, his attention now captured.172Please respect copyright.PENANANyZce4XCs3
172Please respect copyright.PENANAxaWGVz2qBe
"It's me."172Please respect copyright.PENANAhSKC7xW233

"I'm in Canada..."172Please respect copyright.PENANA2D1MhmHYMR

172Please respect copyright.PENANA2GSJVMoU0A
"Can you come pick me up, please? A guy, Elliot, said you we're-"172Please respect copyright.PENANACd5R3dUhkB
172Please respect copyright.PENANAYMEjZ32jJj
"Hold on, you know I'm in Canada and you talked to a guy named Elliot. Levi, what happened?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAphEudD4rTH
172Please respect copyright.PENANAkB9JmgjSY9
"It's hard to explain."172Please respect copyright.PENANAJHW1MVawbN

172Please respect copyright.PENANAc9OsHhRxMI
"Like I said, it's hard to explain, Vince."172Please respect copyright.PENANADNZDNyq6wM

"Levi, where are you?"172Please respect copyright.PENANA0QCNYpYCMu
172Please respect copyright.PENANArQBwk28Sl6
"Near a gas station?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAjzlWcA0zBR
172Please respect copyright.PENANAc2ZPsgG5kD
"What's it's name?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAK3TBjwoU8c
172Please respect copyright.PENANAKuYzY25Fr2
"Pump & Gulp."172Please respect copyright.PENANABVdMdsaadx

"Go inside there and talk to the attendant. Do not leave that building for any reason. Go now. Don't hang up the phone. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAzj1gq4yyub
172Please respect copyright.PENANAHukxQ3ByQZ
Just drop it and RUN."172Please respect copyright.PENANA87zZEIRUlu
172Please respect copyright.PENANAblrODvzTBC
Vincent hears the phone drop and the sound of squelching snow. He climbs out of bed and is shaking Allie away.172Please respect copyright.PENANANs3WkT9VDJ
172Please respect copyright.PENANAW0InWmvugg
She sits up annoyed. "Get up, wake the others. I'm going to get General Peterson, there is a solid lead on Elliot."172Please respect copyright.PENANAAvE1Yr45ke

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.172Please respect copyright.PENANAlFDVPfp7pV
172Please respect copyright.PENANA7Rcyi7BUwi
"Levi Preston?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAVCn6b1kHbK
172Please respect copyright.PENANA4jVaOyE54j
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. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAz3SuvfnAgh
172Please respect copyright.PENANAcBzGDX4KdD
"Do you have I.D to confirm your identity?" The older grey haired man asks. Levi shakes his head, saying nothing. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAdSNIMKxIgd
172Please respect copyright.PENANADnGa8dfavO
"Can you get up off the table, please?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAmLVOloDYl0
172Please respect copyright.PENANA6yX2JrczeI
Levi sits up and Vincent helps him down, he weights practically nothing, skinny while Vicent is taller than he remembers and beefed up. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAiYDyooH7ac
172Please respect copyright.PENANAs39qmUZ8nU
"It's you, bud." Vincent finally speaks. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAlum8cet5nC
172Please respect copyright.PENANAuhBrYlC6lR
"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.172Please respect copyright.PENANATY10ZzrrTD
172Please respect copyright.PENANAPe1L8MTSkh
"That's my... boss. Genereal Peterson." Vincent whispers and then Levi realizes, everyone is wearing camo, they're military.172Please respect copyright.PENANA66GUqdxVt6
172Please respect copyright.PENANAeGoCOMTvfL
"It's complicated."172Please respect copyright.PENANABn85pu2CWl

172Please respect copyright.PENANAsTKleAgPJ6
"What time is it?" Levi whispers.172Please respect copyright.PENANAcPVzhoWKrY
172Please respect copyright.PENANACWY1IALmrs
"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.172Please respect copyright.PENANAOpOibfd8nw
172Please respect copyright.PENANA0M2OFbM7be
"Fine, have it your way." General Peterson snaps, pulling out handcuffs. "Wait, wait, wait!" Vincent begs, Levi on the brink of tears. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAWq8FMKdz14
172Please respect copyright.PENANAl7WEbvI3W6
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."172Please respect copyright.PENANAlmYxrrzpfN
172Please respect copyright.PENANA9aqHhJGpvZ

172Please respect copyright.PENANAI6TbSyBT33
He can't say the words so he dances around it saying others. "The doctor in charge, they took me down there and drew my blood and ran some other tests. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAqwxS05lzSz
172Please respect copyright.PENANAGY8KGzSg6E
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. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAXQrMbtPwa5
172Please respect copyright.PENANAgaDJF6xT94
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-"172Please respect copyright.PENANAXdOAxqvbGE
172Please respect copyright.PENANAGX5jucR4Ix
General Peterson cuts him off, holding out a photo from the police department. "Is this the Supervisor?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAE0tpu4mUfZ
172Please respect copyright.PENANACfTykNmMUo
"Yeah, that's her. N-Nadine M-May."172Please respect copyright.PENANAItuj6UHjm7

172Please respect copyright.PENANAbYoQzV0G04
