Bonnie's lying in a hospital bed, secured to it and semi drugged out, a tube down her nose hooked up to a machine.169Please respect copyright.PENANAbJJHsCG0mr
169Please respect copyright.PENANAJBGGP9BSZP
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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAGQ18MjGBjf
169Please respect copyright.PENANAxmDtzx0bFj
General Peterson followed by Clara. They bring over a chair from the corner of the room, inching closer to Bonnie. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAurSZjZTgy4

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.169Please respect copyright.PENANA3MO2FAQ5VO

"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-"169Please respect copyright.PENANADpjykp4DPo
169Please respect copyright.PENANATBCXt3Vr8Q

169Please respect copyright.PENANASVVDbTWIbZ
"They? RING?"169Please respect copyright.PENANAzgsj32ezct
169Please respect copyright.PENANArYnljwN4Pg
"No! Not RING! They're not the only ones out there!" She yells, coughing from the pain of the tube down her throat.169Please respect copyright.PENANAqVgZhyDUSC

169Please respect copyright.PENANAUx1FvFmfmn
Did you ask RING for continued Merge? To forget stuff you'd rather not remember?"169Please respect copyright.PENANAbY9qzw4rS5
169Please respect copyright.PENANAW3pJJVybhN
"Yeah..."169Please respect copyright.PENANAAJLWWXhskB

169Please respect copyright.PENANANgGpps6hbq

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.169Please respect copyright.PENANA7JoNG2HD2i
169Please respect copyright.PENANAmlQW9eZVAu
"One moment, Bonnie."169Please respect copyright.PENANA3JePTfMcla
General Peterson dragging a protesting Clara out the room.169Please respect copyright.PENANAQU9INrjxVd
169Please respect copyright.PENANAlNuAdRkyVS
"Don't hurt her!" Yells Bobby outside who Vincent is walking through the corridors. He sees General Peterson scolding Clara.169Please respect copyright.PENANAf0EDAV9hxc
169Please respect copyright.PENANAyPkEpnYEJt
"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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAQe5fABdBoY
169Please respect copyright.PENANAbU4FmerAOP
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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAAAz8g5k2WC
169Please respect copyright.PENANAJy6uf4etT4
She immediatly gives Clara a hug. "It's okay, I'm right here. Things can get intense alot... I'm Allie."169Please respect copyright.PENANAQOIOwO6DAS
169Please respect copyright.PENANA8Bqiyil5k5
"Clara."169Please respect copyright.PENANAgt03INXusX
169Please respect copyright.PENANA69pnITMQdX
"You're the police officer."169Please respect copyright.PENANAKvmkgaG4F5
169Please respect copyright.PENANA6yQSQ5rjQi
"You...?"169Please respect copyright.PENANAqWAGS08ndg
169Please respect copyright.PENANAbxs9sBuJTF
"U.S Military."169Please respect copyright.PENANAul11wR6DL6
169Please respect copyright.PENANAappkxzO9qx
"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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAnWPzcysSOV
169Please respect copyright.PENANApaHkb0NADR
"Oh, shit." Bobby says. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAyRtITjc9jW

169Please respect copyright.PENANAXVNIYZO4gL
"Where's Maxis?"169Please respect copyright.PENANAecXCmZKveW
169Please respect copyright.PENANAaUMoXQbux7
"Kiera, you need to go back to your room, okay? Everything is a little chaotic right now."169Please respect copyright.PENANAjFVrMd1sQc
169Please respect copyright.PENANAGIEcBhqpLh
"Then why you'd bring me?!"169Please respect copyright.PENANAKF1BSmDWDH
169Please respect copyright.PENANAJzSfpPRVix
"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."169Please respect copyright.PENANAZdbwUFcDGa
169Please respect copyright.PENANAbucIMqwduk
"Kiera Bailey. Return to your room, that's an order. Maxis will be back soon." General Peterson speaks up.169Please respect copyright.PENANA87TVVA5dTm
169Please respect copyright.PENANAIyHPQBHVB2
"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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAqDosiCh9nq
169Please respect copyright.PENANAhqD1dfp1AZ
Clara takes a step forward holding her hand out to Kiera. Kiera reaches forward and they walk off together.169Please respect copyright.PENANA1JfznbgLh5
169Please respect copyright.PENANAGP2nIVVFRP
"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.169Please respect copyright.PENANA72RevnTzwY
169Please respect copyright.PENANA1wFl0hCfSJ
"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."169Please respect copyright.PENANAoMqBzdxjkz
169Please respect copyright.PENANAVPv9NDOSSA

"Woah." Elliot says looking up at their surroundings as Nadine pushes open the door. "This is yours?!"169Please respect copyright.PENANAhnxSKwvpIX
169Please respect copyright.PENANALzdOvrefmn
"It is, a safe house of mine. I rarely use it." Kaylee responds. It's a two story holiday villa overlooking the beach.169Please respect copyright.PENANAD11NJkMYmp
169Please respect copyright.PENANALFWcWCLWpV
"Just don't touch any big bright red buttons on remotes."169Please respect copyright.PENANA7fnoRDX8ZX
169Please respect copyright.PENANAdrvcyc7ZW8
"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.169Please respect copyright.PENANApea6rfOvKu
169Please respect copyright.PENANAhsn9ckvrw4
"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."169Please respect copyright.PENANAB8abF15QS6
169Please respect copyright.PENANAhhSEd7YUis
"I... I actually kinda miss my older sister right now. But boy, would she have some choice words for me..." Nadine trails off.169Please respect copyright.PENANAsSWEDWolpk
169Please respect copyright.PENANAZOOtregKjB
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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAXkglu98Ck0
169Please respect copyright.PENANAG28fHQX3J4
He takes a deep breath in and heads for the bed, sitting down, looking at his hands.169Please respect copyright.PENANAd6RidzSviA
169Please respect copyright.PENANAxDn4GEzOWG
They aren't physically blood stained, but he just took a life. He ran over one of his own. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAMVgYwqEwF5
169Please respect copyright.PENANAhMdDdkx1ja
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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAY1FMMpPC3f
169Please respect copyright.PENANAouTUqQOgYl
He doesn't see any roses of any color. Maybe his offically overcome it after bouncing around time?169Please respect copyright.PENANAgoArU4Hqhr
169Please respect copyright.PENANA065UQkp3iy
"Are you okay?" Says a small voice. "Sorry, I should have knocked!"169Please respect copyright.PENANAnZpwUlL69I
169Please respect copyright.PENANAKXP3lE8zLh
It's Levi. "Levi-"169Please respect copyright.PENANAtxIpUAgy1W
169Please respect copyright.PENANAk8Wczis8PI
Levi looks anxious. "Levi, we're not going to hurt you. RING has fallen. You're free to leave if you want to go."169Please respect copyright.PENANABG8Aar5EmV
169Please respect copyright.PENANAzfGmv1DRfP
"Where would I go? This is... Nadine said it's Canada."169Please respect copyright.PENANA9DhS6hxVJC
169Please respect copyright.PENANAMZD040vJyL
"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..."169Please respect copyright.PENANArnc4HK0zcw
169Please respect copyright.PENANAcRcPqSKdXX
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...169Please respect copyright.PENANA8L9lEW4avW
169Please respect copyright.PENANAXuItZpOB0U
"Levi." He says taking both his hands. Levi's now on the verge of tears. 169Please respect copyright.PENANArhvAUDxfvV
169Please respect copyright.PENANAStf70duxZE
"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?"169Please respect copyright.PENANAIRzJ2KV9ul
169Please respect copyright.PENANA82mlx53OP0
He nods tearfully.169Please respect copyright.PENANAyOZ86HXNmY
169Please respect copyright.PENANAWLSqbcdZzW
"Do you want to get some sleep? When was the last time you had a good nights rest?"169Please respect copyright.PENANAkv8QNdnOJ9
169Please respect copyright.PENANAIZvxXCo3IA
"....."169Please respect copyright.PENANA3nIpUxpWG4

"Lunch won't be for a little while."169Please respect copyright.PENANA15CVmtY6VB
169Please respect copyright.PENANAteHPFCZkvJ
"Can you stand outside the room?"169Please respect copyright.PENANA2JcF1H3p3R
169Please respect copyright.PENANAfx3vQgB8Zn
"Sure, bud!"169Please respect copyright.PENANARoEx71fLej
169Please respect copyright.PENANADbsJIA2jd7
And he follows Levi who's clinging to him and is stuck standing outside Levi's room. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAgTrFhYnpEn
169Please respect copyright.PENANAnRGCdpveFl
Nadine's showering, and Kaylee hasn't come out of her room. The door is locked. Is she thinking? Decompressing?169Please respect copyright.PENANAJeE5udmsGR

169Please respect copyright.PENANAnIo1GIE4ag
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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAI6WqruKmob
169Please respect copyright.PENANASKhUi8BbrS
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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAMDmKrs74al
169Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5vJSHzSGK
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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAMAHmbqQfbT
169Please respect copyright.PENANASAvR9zciDB
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?169Please respect copyright.PENANAoZyBl9a4Uq
169Please respect copyright.PENANAOSw9NDysh5
She eventually takes a seat on a plastic bench, shoulders slumped over again.169Please respect copyright.PENANAUTMKeb14vN
169Please respect copyright.PENANAi7zYp63mSv
"Hello there again."169Please respect copyright.PENANAC66MVQJFiw
169Please respect copyright.PENANAdSacMAVKCS
It's Clara and she takes a seat beside Kiera. "Can't sleep?"169Please respect copyright.PENANA9rBgAHeWHc
169Please respect copyright.PENANAiRzaUBIiT2
Kiera shakes her head. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAz7eHmhmORs
169Please respect copyright.PENANAyAjI7FD3MC
"Neither can I."169Please respect copyright.PENANAnaLIXWEUIR
169Please respect copyright.PENANApac5MgnAGC
Kiera gives her a look. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAT6lwiWaswp
169Please respect copyright.PENANAlbNOh8LLzB
"Uh, yeah, um, Bobby is actually my fiance. Well, ex. I can't marry him after everything that has happened..."169Please respect copyright.PENANAOe8MGpuwPd
169Please respect copyright.PENANAFGA2anIM41
"......"169Please respect copyright.PENANAjBiSDFG2yj
169Please respect copyright.PENANAS7FAjVGDLI
"Kiera. When RING held your prisoner. What was Bobby like? How did he treat you?"169Please respect copyright.PENANAYOnDo7EDyi
169Please respect copyright.PENANAEVkEkKTRME
"I could tell you how Nadine May treated me, Bonnie too. I don't think Bobby worked there when I was there."169Please respect copyright.PENANABhg72J7HHr
169Please respect copyright.PENANAR9jDTKTQ1B
"Really?"169Please respect copyright.PENANAW0rFtGXHPK
169Please respect copyright.PENANApFVogGbN0R
"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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANA137wwxTp3P
169Please respect copyright.PENANA1XidcsslZP
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.169Please respect copyright.PENANANeAmnJXD28
169Please respect copyright.PENANAJfar1wkbkA
My life isn't mine anymore." 169Please respect copyright.PENANAQVBD1tcwC4
169Please respect copyright.PENANAxqsYIvQViX
And she bends over crying. 169Please respect copyright.PENANACxZaawvQKZ
169Please respect copyright.PENANAYyiLApOhKT
"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-"169Please respect copyright.PENANAa4hW2qUZJe
169Please respect copyright.PENANAlQZmCFM2lx
"At the momemt, I just want to go back to the U.S. Did you know I had a younger brother?169Please respect copyright.PENANAJrQlZsXdoz
169Please respect copyright.PENANAu4QyukVCxz
Turns out I do."169Please respect copyright.PENANAy8yERaqVxR
169Please respect copyright.PENANA1LKNGU55MK
"Do you want to see him?"169Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4EPGTE5rx
169Please respect copyright.PENANAa5Ab0Jm9u8
"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."169Please respect copyright.PENANAomEGQIYb6y
169Please respect copyright.PENANAvrJrdVdSQn
"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."169Please respect copyright.PENANAQCyobBWCZI
169Please respect copyright.PENANAy5JyPtCQhY
"I don't know."169Please respect copyright.PENANAkDRXN42mNl
169Please respect copyright.PENANAjJNwilnA4h
"There you are, Kiera!"169Please respect copyright.PENANAG5TzptDiKa
169Please respect copyright.PENANAaKbGWDYnWz
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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAM1hI2HBn4T
169Please respect copyright.PENANAmUeVMQ45qb
"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."169Please respect copyright.PENANADuTonJNfQp
169Please respect copyright.PENANAtoQEVrOjdF
"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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAPJ3SCsbEq8

He wakes up, Nadine in his face, awake. He sits up. "Yeah?"169Please respect copyright.PENANArHWLKYTrsy
169Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3BV02J8Kj
She is sitting up in bed. He sits up, looking at the clock on the wall. 1 a.m169Please respect copyright.PENANAGAXG2zPsus
169Please respect copyright.PENANA0yiU2f4poI
"Can't sleep?" He asks.169Please respect copyright.PENANAwu4IwvFfbd

"Please promise you won't!" He begs, taking her hands in his and lowers his head into her chest, tears streaming down his face. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAN1gta85T5H
169Please respect copyright.PENANAN0mflCEWMu
He may not be able to be with her, but it won't stop him loving her. His feelings are real. 169Please respect copyright.PENANA6Zbtv71QSx
169Please respect copyright.PENANAZt5XpdYJbW

"Will you hate me if I say I'm glad?"169Please respect copyright.PENANASVlsdNN2S2
169Please respect copyright.PENANADUbvb8TuTa
"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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAqfrqCO17TZ
169Please respect copyright.PENANAEsOMHT5pNe
We're our own worst enemy."169Please respect copyright.PENANAIqxourp6XE

169Please respect copyright.PENANAW57gnNJUFq

169Please respect copyright.PENANABaAbplpVEk
"What did she tell you?"169Please respect copyright.PENANAdUplyr88U9
169Please respect copyright.PENANA0tjNkg917w
"God, Angels and fallen angels, demons exist." She laughs a little, but it's a more nervous one. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAntWB6bbxDV
169Please respect copyright.PENANAGhMUs1G7c2
"Do you believe her?"169Please respect copyright.PENANAxR7eTpR9Kb

169Please respect copyright.PENANALkzlt48w9s
"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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAYyeTOvLF4j
169Please respect copyright.PENANAbbWc58zGJ4
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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAXx7hEUXx1l
169Please respect copyright.PENANAdflPKNkVIx
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."169Please respect copyright.PENANAG0f1TmouzF
169Please respect copyright.PENANAbM6g5w9mZy
"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."169Please respect copyright.PENANANIVWRizoCM
169Please respect copyright.PENANAieMHh58t3E
She looks up at him. "What?"169Please respect copyright.PENANAUS8llVobt3
169Please respect copyright.PENANAp4vicm8wyC
"She's on the team I'm on."169Please respect copyright.PENANANBwkHfrJIL

169Please respect copyright.PENANAf4qQk5xEmv
"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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAgmtODxyxdC
169Please respect copyright.PENANAWpsEvD5739
Like I said, RING is no more now. I never wanted to hurt her or anyone anyway."169Please respect copyright.PENANATc5L7TWmiZ
169Please respect copyright.PENANAzH4lPCruvI
"What can I do to make it better for you?"169Please respect copyright.PENANA6pJMfE3cPd
169Please respect copyright.PENANAnGHW6ukn8b
"There's nothing."169Please respect copyright.PENANANUqwKbRjdp
169Please respect copyright.PENANANZwEmJuT9r
"How about I take you to see your parents?"169Please respect copyright.PENANAui6kxQm3EL
169Please respect copyright.PENANA6b1sj5UvSQ
"Goodnight, Elliot." And she lay's back down to sleep, back to him. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAO70BmBZZcI
169Please respect copyright.PENANA7YdafdVkvO
"Your sister."169Please respect copyright.PENANA7qqezh8bLw

"......"169Please respect copyright.PENANA4Y6gXAp8YY
169Please respect copyright.PENANA0yBm6tLTlg
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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAbOnv1cAvAn
169Please respect copyright.PENANAMY959Os9K9
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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAMupHYgbdJ2
169Please respect copyright.PENANAI7WWQwfNOf
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?169Please respect copyright.PENANAIG3n3RIOrq
169Please respect copyright.PENANAnWapMMzVGu
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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAHdZc3xHmuu
169Please respect copyright.PENANAXIBe7jSyXJ
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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAzAXiGfLNrZ
169Please respect copyright.PENANAGJ2hz54pKB
"Hello?" Says a sleepy sounding voice. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAgxykVBBj6n
169Please respect copyright.PENANAtaT2zciPTJ
Levi takes a deep breath in, struggling to find the words. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAnLJLTfEHIi
169Please respect copyright.PENANAMCMJPFBDDv
"Hello?" The sleepy voice repeats.169Please respect copyright.PENANAPuulc2UbRV
169Please respect copyright.PENANAdHCgXOEcGy
"V-Vincent..." Levi whispers. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAHFNA7x7RH6
169Please respect copyright.PENANACp0tE9YUQX
"Who's asking?" Vincent snaps back, now a little more away, his attention now captured.169Please respect copyright.PENANA4rlBpyZRHj

169Please respect copyright.PENANAmuAoqroGae
Just drop it and RUN."169Please respect copyright.PENANADfUgqhWcUE
169Please respect copyright.PENANALk12Foc0wh
Vincent hears the phone drop and the sound of squelching snow. He climbs out of bed and is shaking Allie away.169Please respect copyright.PENANAffbOa2tts7
169Please respect copyright.PENANAUcnOMbLNLm
She sits up annoyed. "Get up, wake the others. I'm going to get General Peterson, there is a solid lead on Elliot."169Please respect copyright.PENANAOSrdjkF9Cc

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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAIg2hNvRhc0
169Please respect copyright.PENANAJASUaDF0bx
"Levi Preston?"169Please respect copyright.PENANAu6tsUufjpB
169Please respect copyright.PENANALOtQ2Lanaw
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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANANnH8l9gzkD
169Please respect copyright.PENANAuh3ZmfUL2P
"Do you have I.D to confirm your identity?" The older grey haired man asks. Levi shakes his head, saying nothing. 169Please respect copyright.PENANA2dGshdCV6c
169Please respect copyright.PENANAlD7CtpPI5l
"Can you get up off the table, please?"169Please respect copyright.PENANAIgCw5ZOkRn
169Please respect copyright.PENANAUgZULaK7Vc
Levi sits up and Vincent helps him down, he weights practically nothing, skinny while Vicent is taller than he remembers and beefed up. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAhgbYIFkOFV
169Please respect copyright.PENANAWrcNXqDYtF
"It's you, bud." Vincent finally speaks. 169Please respect copyright.PENANA3O5PNLdMiV
169Please respect copyright.PENANAH7bUWneqtw
"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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAdZtzxAEHll
169Please respect copyright.PENANAjTJm6cW5pP
"That's my... boss. Genereal Peterson." Vincent whispers and then Levi realizes, everyone is wearing camo, they're military.169Please respect copyright.PENANACEJbXgQ5ax
169Please respect copyright.PENANA0T14EhM294
"It's complicated."169Please respect copyright.PENANAX5PoAlsEEK

169Please respect copyright.PENANAwVDrIwIuIf
"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.169Please respect copyright.PENANADjLcGlipvL
169Please respect copyright.PENANAKrNXOSEgeI
"Fine, have it your way." General Peterson snaps, pulling out handcuffs. "Wait, wait, wait!" Vincent begs, Levi on the brink of tears. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAffdpw9brkG
169Please respect copyright.PENANAyJOFDvvIxM
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."169Please respect copyright.PENANA7MYDx8FEOP

169Please respect copyright.PENANAxQB0g5jdVO
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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAsPT05qdlHE
169Please respect copyright.PENANAJizuV6TuRR
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-"169Please respect copyright.PENANAZLnW1oQHuR
169Please respect copyright.PENANAhbCpi94GeW
General Peterson cuts him off, holding out a photo from the police department. "Is this the Supervisor?"169Please respect copyright.PENANAKl8b6A6pCc
