186Please respect copyright.PENANAs8GqOigB31
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. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAHqOBGYPCQF
186Please respect copyright.PENANAXyEZNcFsC4
General Peterson followed by Clara. They bring over a chair from the corner of the room, inching closer to Bonnie. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAmRZXc9JIap

"Morning, Bonnie." General Peterson says.186Please respect copyright.PENANAdGaGZSWaRD

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.186Please respect copyright.PENANAXYWqAJZuEx

"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-"186Please respect copyright.PENANAiWR6VPQR0E
186Please respect copyright.PENANAcjeoPBfdfA

186Please respect copyright.PENANA0Qr8GA3QIt
"They? RING?"186Please respect copyright.PENANA3eOO1olvTo
186Please respect copyright.PENANATHFcqrJrR9
"No! Not RING! They're not the only ones out there!" She yells, coughing from the pain of the tube down her throat.186Please respect copyright.PENANAIsitZwx33J

"Yeah..."186Please respect copyright.PENANAYqGzOlli0c

"Yes."186Please respect copyright.PENANAi19cJK4WqB

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.186Please respect copyright.PENANAuG9XBpQ0EA
186Please respect copyright.PENANA4jlll9ajue
"One moment, Bonnie."186Please respect copyright.PENANAiatSEhq1Do
General Peterson dragging a protesting Clara out the room.186Please respect copyright.PENANA86tkxyvNLR
186Please respect copyright.PENANAfCnaob0ZB8
"Don't hurt her!" Yells Bobby outside who Vincent is walking through the corridors. He sees General Peterson scolding Clara.186Please respect copyright.PENANAX0xmCykUgq
186Please respect copyright.PENANAHJnRtyHful
"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.186Please respect copyright.PENANAOmKz1HVzC2
186Please respect copyright.PENANAx5tA28gXBH
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.186Please respect copyright.PENANAQUE0SaXXgq
186Please respect copyright.PENANANQ4mlVslsa
She immediatly gives Clara a hug. "It's okay, I'm right here. Things can get intense alot... I'm Allie."186Please respect copyright.PENANAYgqltQWtHa
186Please respect copyright.PENANADUZy8umoiL
"Clara."186Please respect copyright.PENANAFtiDE0ECGg
186Please respect copyright.PENANAnxNPnkuJyZ
"You're the police officer."186Please respect copyright.PENANAhgds5Z0TfA
186Please respect copyright.PENANAZRK4ZuNEAJ
"You...?"186Please respect copyright.PENANA5BgSNOdWSs
186Please respect copyright.PENANAD2CTEOQX0z
"U.S Military."186Please respect copyright.PENANA5TRII4pb2A
186Please respect copyright.PENANA5leO0REifH
"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. 186Please respect copyright.PENANALzXw03sqQ3
186Please respect copyright.PENANAmjGX2bLSic
"Oh, shit." Bobby says. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAulDoNHe1WJ

"Kiera-" Allie speaking up. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAJLSvchV6uh

"Where's Maxis?"186Please respect copyright.PENANADmX4474LAt
186Please respect copyright.PENANAVhRfw3OY2o
"Kiera, you need to go back to your room, okay? Everything is a little chaotic right now."186Please respect copyright.PENANA7uhynUvYMh
186Please respect copyright.PENANAAQOhTBsu1r
"Then why you'd bring me?!"186Please respect copyright.PENANAaefWtKqmyi
186Please respect copyright.PENANAT5zxW0s0OT
"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."186Please respect copyright.PENANAI4oyckWXOr
186Please respect copyright.PENANAVDpWB7SHHd
"Kiera Bailey. Return to your room, that's an order. Maxis will be back soon." General Peterson speaks up.186Please respect copyright.PENANANDH2NyPgy5
186Please respect copyright.PENANAdGdQxEOQn6
"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.186Please respect copyright.PENANA9nJZUlm9YO
186Please respect copyright.PENANAeVMiHcsf1B
Clara takes a step forward holding her hand out to Kiera. Kiera reaches forward and they walk off together.186Please respect copyright.PENANAZcgkTDLgNm
186Please respect copyright.PENANAWpv4YASEgv
"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.186Please respect copyright.PENANA2WR2hOkcBN
186Please respect copyright.PENANAnIL4ZsYexe
"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."186Please respect copyright.PENANATObCa5TrQr
186Please respect copyright.PENANA7KjI321GaS

"Woah." Elliot says looking up at their surroundings as Nadine pushes open the door. "This is yours?!"186Please respect copyright.PENANAoWcGM6wPh6
186Please respect copyright.PENANAXo4EUVT20o
"It is, a safe house of mine. I rarely use it." Kaylee responds. It's a two story holiday villa overlooking the beach.186Please respect copyright.PENANAj50t9nGHKu
186Please respect copyright.PENANAh5PIg2hRdv
"Just don't touch any big bright red buttons on remotes."186Please respect copyright.PENANAWUPU6spWPE
186Please respect copyright.PENANApwTfxsLV4E
"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.186Please respect copyright.PENANA5RnEEIAWeV
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFuaYbpwxhH
"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."186Please respect copyright.PENANAlyQeyDpo06
186Please respect copyright.PENANAzpUKPHRNCM
"I... I actually kinda miss my older sister right now. But boy, would she have some choice words for me..." Nadine trails off.186Please respect copyright.PENANACO5hymqkPZ
186Please respect copyright.PENANAyKzgIzINVB
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.186Please respect copyright.PENANAUGF3EaCRrA
186Please respect copyright.PENANA7vQdna0jny
He takes a deep breath in and heads for the bed, sitting down, looking at his hands.186Please respect copyright.PENANAHJNeSyUoO8
186Please respect copyright.PENANAfVsRTqRQW7
They aren't physically blood stained, but he just took a life. He ran over one of his own. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAN71UDks6tu
186Please respect copyright.PENANAEeOoy4gBK8
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. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAQXUax3UpeD
186Please respect copyright.PENANA8VrRZc9TYS
He doesn't see any roses of any color. Maybe his offically overcome it after bouncing around time?186Please respect copyright.PENANAECxETOZoPl
186Please respect copyright.PENANATAuCyQW2hO
"Are you okay?" Says a small voice. "Sorry, I should have knocked!"186Please respect copyright.PENANAQknwCSlvqi
186Please respect copyright.PENANACJwfkFtb3k
It's Levi. "Levi-"186Please respect copyright.PENANAuu7H1bVjB7
186Please respect copyright.PENANA0mykvVsoa3
Levi looks anxious. "Levi, we're not going to hurt you. RING has fallen. You're free to leave if you want to go."186Please respect copyright.PENANABeQZ89hzc8
186Please respect copyright.PENANAtNvN6kG6AB
"Where would I go? This is... Nadine said it's Canada."186Please respect copyright.PENANAFc3sv44Fsx
186Please respect copyright.PENANArqH5YFcDXq
"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..."186Please respect copyright.PENANADTydMcTEmM
186Please respect copyright.PENANATJRYf3u6Th
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...186Please respect copyright.PENANAqRXd3am7J0
186Please respect copyright.PENANAlG5XE1pHC0
"Levi." He says taking both his hands. Levi's now on the verge of tears. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAPTPqeWkVsb
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQGNXzhJ840
"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?"186Please respect copyright.PENANAss9A6FE7Nl
186Please respect copyright.PENANAB4izZ7V3qT
He nods tearfully.186Please respect copyright.PENANAXx7gDgvrYO
186Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ28qcLTBs
"Do you want to get some sleep? When was the last time you had a good nights rest?"186Please respect copyright.PENANAlY1jggMSlE
186Please respect copyright.PENANApHhxOry6T0
"....."186Please respect copyright.PENANAf7uMiX1V1h
186Please respect copyright.PENANA4SdKxMAIOz
"Lunch won't be for a little while."186Please respect copyright.PENANAnSqxjzTBHU
186Please respect copyright.PENANAr25mdiIfIZ
"Can you stand outside the room?"186Please respect copyright.PENANAWy2n9XqEpa
186Please respect copyright.PENANAGZDFfkTCTu
"Sure, bud!"186Please respect copyright.PENANAgNzg8nO6q1
186Please respect copyright.PENANAPxQKG3ZEQ7
And he follows Levi who's clinging to him and is stuck standing outside Levi's room. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAVWlxnwZUdn
186Please respect copyright.PENANAmJvWsitSfu
Nadine's showering, and Kaylee hasn't come out of her room. The door is locked. Is she thinking? Decompressing?186Please respect copyright.PENANAp2bMYliGyK

186Please respect copyright.PENANARi6YJOxzU4
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. 186Please respect copyright.PENANArCQ8l1fkqr
186Please respect copyright.PENANAUKFQ9WnTHb
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. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAoddBkOWXYL
186Please respect copyright.PENANApevs7oZDnE
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.186Please respect copyright.PENANAgcfEEf5ct9
186Please respect copyright.PENANAOB47qTzUID
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?186Please respect copyright.PENANA3g66JqCDlz
186Please respect copyright.PENANAeo40Xbojry
She eventually takes a seat on a plastic bench, shoulders slumped over again.186Please respect copyright.PENANAcJpkwXJpYr
186Please respect copyright.PENANAWSRDwVxFJU
"Hello there again."186Please respect copyright.PENANAGvypFRP5Nf
186Please respect copyright.PENANA2gXcgDGV9p
It's Clara and she takes a seat beside Kiera. "Can't sleep?"186Please respect copyright.PENANAWnzu2nANJW
186Please respect copyright.PENANAA766XSaabb
Kiera shakes her head. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAqiJ2hJKUNw
186Please respect copyright.PENANAa87I0SHO3g
"Neither can I."186Please respect copyright.PENANAg7aXlBzZ8y
186Please respect copyright.PENANAXQdGiDddnr
Kiera gives her a look. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAFE55sedsFj
186Please respect copyright.PENANAdPUZMnIV6g
"Uh, yeah, um, Bobby is actually my fiance. Well, ex. I can't marry him after everything that has happened..."186Please respect copyright.PENANASEt928esIf
186Please respect copyright.PENANAi9ZLJo0xaF
"......"186Please respect copyright.PENANAy1wPlFajnn
186Please respect copyright.PENANAEqnwoogTxx
"Kiera. When RING held your prisoner. What was Bobby like? How did he treat you?"186Please respect copyright.PENANAlXNm1DDcIg
186Please respect copyright.PENANAKaAHpz5CYT
"I could tell you how Nadine May treated me, Bonnie too. I don't think Bobby worked there when I was there."186Please respect copyright.PENANAPMz6mqz98l
186Please respect copyright.PENANANZs4WqP8sp
"Really?"186Please respect copyright.PENANA21ckvtdJPs
186Please respect copyright.PENANAC2bSYUCC88
"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. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAhyizLRxwXh
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFLCMgWUpaP
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.186Please respect copyright.PENANAJJmEcgXm3m
186Please respect copyright.PENANAW6ZZ4JmeiV
My life isn't mine anymore." 186Please respect copyright.PENANAxeD2GL44wR
186Please respect copyright.PENANAr1JNYNWJ4d
And she bends over crying. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAw6UgS3DlVB
186Please respect copyright.PENANAcaUPqDXKB8
"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-"186Please respect copyright.PENANAwYCQQAe0ZP
186Please respect copyright.PENANAtqn1I5WoZG
"At the momemt, I just want to go back to the U.S. Did you know I had a younger brother?186Please respect copyright.PENANAK6dMhXA5ZZ
186Please respect copyright.PENANAEX4XtvAftX
Turns out I do."186Please respect copyright.PENANAvOg9OYvGeE
186Please respect copyright.PENANAjT8JQGigGW
"Do you want to see him?"186Please respect copyright.PENANAsYjG0qcddu
186Please respect copyright.PENANA9bmkg0vd76
"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."186Please respect copyright.PENANAUADkdgfy4Y
186Please respect copyright.PENANAkYhMNImYTy
"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."186Please respect copyright.PENANAuAXb4d65UV
186Please respect copyright.PENANAhrdGHItK21
"I don't know."186Please respect copyright.PENANAn2fsqEZ8s2
186Please respect copyright.PENANADqBFCkqfoT
"There you are, Kiera!"186Please respect copyright.PENANAYu4mLcqrBw
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQZAoX1RwpA
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.186Please respect copyright.PENANAPTi8Ktuip7
186Please respect copyright.PENANAENsXAXS964
"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."186Please respect copyright.PENANAIel62KspSO
186Please respect copyright.PENANAd7gG5dXhTh
"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.186Please respect copyright.PENANADWvUiPARQQ

"Elliot."186Please respect copyright.PENANAfEAS3fJedB
186Please respect copyright.PENANAy3jINRwBcH
He wakes up, Nadine in his face, awake. He sits up. "Yeah?"186Please respect copyright.PENANAUGtNdJF6vx
186Please respect copyright.PENANA1xmdAQLMUU
She is sitting up in bed. He sits up, looking at the clock on the wall. 1 a.m186Please respect copyright.PENANAKJjbbwkWYM
186Please respect copyright.PENANAEdfa2UHkBN
"Can't sleep?" He asks.186Please respect copyright.PENANA84wCA7xuzm

"No?"186Please respect copyright.PENANAfRoPg5zygN

"Please promise you won't!" He begs, taking her hands in his and lowers his head into her chest, tears streaming down his face. 186Please respect copyright.PENANA0e2QDPx9HH
186Please respect copyright.PENANALbxfGxE3Ku
He may not be able to be with her, but it won't stop him loving her. His feelings are real. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAIeQNmzK0EX
186Please respect copyright.PENANA2RvXIX6ZhX
"Elliot- I-I won't. I promise! And the Police we're on our heads anyway, RING is no more now."186Please respect copyright.PENANAYmlwLwcLii

186Please respect copyright.PENANAVaQqi150tX
"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. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAbM4t5atNaK

186Please respect copyright.PENANAI6Xkh7VnqY
"What did she tell you?"186Please respect copyright.PENANAM8IJdY4FGO
186Please respect copyright.PENANAyPCh4aC3dE
"God, Angels and fallen angels, demons exist." She laughs a little, but it's a more nervous one. 186Please respect copyright.PENANA8hBE94ozOX
186Please respect copyright.PENANAYQ7Yr3pmAq
"Do you believe her?"186Please respect copyright.PENANA26PWTJd08o

186Please respect copyright.PENANArvEfUxWTJh
"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.186Please respect copyright.PENANAErLt1nUrUB
186Please respect copyright.PENANABN8SjR8bKi
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. 186Please respect copyright.PENANA9FTtSRdcm4
186Please respect copyright.PENANAq0w22wmnpi
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."186Please respect copyright.PENANA6KWjN71oJk
186Please respect copyright.PENANAGOCl4KLIds
"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."186Please respect copyright.PENANAfMDpMDI6Sw
186Please respect copyright.PENANAv4yGkx0boj
She looks up at him. "What?"186Please respect copyright.PENANAeC08ysWlHU
186Please respect copyright.PENANA6HZgLNbrED
"She's on the team I'm on."186Please respect copyright.PENANAoLrhhY0bDc

186Please respect copyright.PENANAKNggVN6Zai
"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. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAnrjeCItgqU
186Please respect copyright.PENANAqiPYCsDBC4
Like I said, RING is no more now. I never wanted to hurt her or anyone anyway."186Please respect copyright.PENANAVWzb808NaY

186Please respect copyright.PENANAnxIq84DlOM
"There's nothing."186Please respect copyright.PENANAggq4WrVibQ

"How about I take you to see your parents?"186Please respect copyright.PENANAkX7WEgBAQJ
186Please respect copyright.PENANAY9RGTXYUxH
"Goodnight, Elliot." And she lay's back down to sleep, back to him. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAhaEyGhYs14

"......"186Please respect copyright.PENANAc5x4xDSW4r
186Please respect copyright.PENANAN3pmrSkxgs
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. 186Please respect copyright.PENANABEYTchvtPp
186Please respect copyright.PENANAwMJJrKbboh
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. 186Please respect copyright.PENANA6FKz1bgq29
186Please respect copyright.PENANAlKz3IktfyJ
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?186Please respect copyright.PENANALlpXCzAaAb
186Please respect copyright.PENANAVDm3ytnUET
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.186Please respect copyright.PENANAqqepWKSqgI
186Please respect copyright.PENANASYvsGjMi0A
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. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAlj14xVXMOn
186Please respect copyright.PENANA9t5ydTLpuS
"Hello?" Says a sleepy sounding voice. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAk5BvS7UpMg

Levi takes a deep breath in, struggling to find the words. 186Please respect copyright.PENANASnh7YdsOAk

"Hello?" The sleepy voice repeats.186Please respect copyright.PENANA41mMEplvhR
186Please respect copyright.PENANAEB1M8wiDkg
"V-Vincent..." Levi whispers. 186Please respect copyright.PENANALAxbO2VcEa
186Please respect copyright.PENANA1f8DKceTvb
"Who's asking?" Vincent snaps back, now a little more away, his attention now captured.186Please respect copyright.PENANA5uHLaBHoHb

Just drop it and RUN."186Please respect copyright.PENANArrrn5i7uFz
186Please respect copyright.PENANA881VUPOlwf
Vincent hears the phone drop and the sound of squelching snow. He climbs out of bed and is shaking Allie away.186Please respect copyright.PENANA29bQWTUQCo
186Please respect copyright.PENANA7xuS9edjJJ
She sits up annoyed. "Get up, wake the others. I'm going to get General Peterson, there is a solid lead on Elliot."186Please respect copyright.PENANAPInrjI1MRh

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.186Please respect copyright.PENANAICz6o7vt5y
186Please respect copyright.PENANAKezpwzXQML
"Levi Preston?"186Please respect copyright.PENANAgquIwvnJ0k
186Please respect copyright.PENANAahhTXl7oGA
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. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAZWJNq5nryx
186Please respect copyright.PENANAW7kq1DYqpg
"Do you have I.D to confirm your identity?" The older grey haired man asks. Levi shakes his head, saying nothing. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAbCMK5lGLFJ
186Please respect copyright.PENANAonScLehEkC
"Can you get up off the table, please?"186Please respect copyright.PENANAURbPAhlf0Z
186Please respect copyright.PENANAs05IzpQ4A2
Levi sits up and Vincent helps him down, he weights practically nothing, skinny while Vicent is taller than he remembers and beefed up. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAb8lLgN8z0H
186Please respect copyright.PENANAVYal0Mh14n
"It's you, bud." Vincent finally speaks. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAeCVlHDUAuB
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQKclqWM0dM
"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.186Please respect copyright.PENANA6Op07RJD8T
186Please respect copyright.PENANAPMZye88IEI
"That's my... boss. Genereal Peterson." Vincent whispers and then Levi realizes, everyone is wearing camo, they're military.186Please respect copyright.PENANAUnLUgZnnRE

"It's complicated."186Please respect copyright.PENANA8RPyO8P9QR

"What time is it?" Levi whispers.186Please respect copyright.PENANA8PYscfZYYD
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQIXVukKels
"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.186Please respect copyright.PENANAMpqvtfv61t
186Please respect copyright.PENANA8w3b9873VF
"Fine, have it your way." General Peterson snaps, pulling out handcuffs. "Wait, wait, wait!" Vincent begs, Levi on the brink of tears. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAq7CXBl0BIh
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFsn2uZ8GVM
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."186Please respect copyright.PENANAj9IVP1tr52

186Please respect copyright.PENANAk3LSHM10J4
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. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAIbiXEaMcKR
186Please respect copyright.PENANATFZFk6qOs6
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-"186Please respect copyright.PENANAiHIyrsZUoc
186Please respect copyright.PENANARHwSbakiF1
General Peterson cuts him off, holding out a photo from the police department. "Is this the Supervisor?"186Please respect copyright.PENANAzBUPRiZvWo
