Raymond slammed the car into gear and pulled away from Amanda's fortress. The tires skidded across the wet gravel before catching the road, and he tightened his grip on the steering wheel as Amanda cried out beside him.

“I'm here, Amanda. Just hold on.”

She had her eyes squeezed shut, one hand pressed against her stomach. Her face had lost its colour, and every few seconds, a small, broken sound escaped her lips.

“It hurts so bad please hurry,” she whimpered.

    “Wait.”Everyone turned toward him.“What now?” Butcher demanded.Ghost looked at the bags, then toward the fortress. Rain hammered the vehicle’s roof.“I just remembered something. The man who gave us this job told us to destroy some of her things, didn't he?”Darius frowned. “What are you talking about?”“We were supposed to steal what we could and damage the property. We took the supplies, but barely touched anything else.”“Damn it,” Butcher muttered. “He's right.”Viper looked through the windshield. “We've ransacked the place and taken major supplies. Isn't that enough?”“No,” Darius said. “If our employer wanted us to steal a few boxes, he could have sent anybody. He paid us to make a mess, too.”Tank glanced at the bags. “So we're going back?”“We finish the job, then we leave.”Viper sighed and turned the vehicle around.When they reached the fortress again, the rain had grown heavier. Wind drove water across the grounds, and the gate swung on its damaged hinges with a deep m

    Nobody laughed this time. Darius looked at the shelves again. The joke had touched something he couldn't quite explain. There was too much food, too much water, and too much medicine. Amanda had even stored fuel and equipment for emergencies.He remembered seeing her being carried to the car. Whatever was happening to that woman, he thinks she had been preparing for something long before tonight but that wasn't his concern.He had been paid to get inside and take what he could. He wasn't going to lose his chance because he suddenly wanted to understand a stranger's decisions.“Ghost, pack those tablets but leave the unimportant ones behind.”Ghost looked at him. “You really want to leave her supplies?”“I want us to be swift and leave before someone catches us. Now move.”They filled their bags and carried them toward the hallway. Butcher disappeared into the medical room, where he found more equipment arranged along the walls.He stopped in the doorway, staring. “Darius! Come and se

    Raymond slammed the car into gear and pulled away from Amanda's fortress. The tires skidded across the wet gravel before catching the road, and he tightened his grip on the steering wheel as Amanda cried out beside him.“I'm here, Amanda. Just hold on.”She had her eyes squeezed shut, one hand pressed against her stomach. Her face had lost its colour, and every few seconds, a small, broken sound escaped her lips.“It hurts so bad please hurry,” she whimpered.“We're going straight to the hospital.”He glanced at her again, fighting the urge to look away from the road for too long. He had never seen Amanda like this. She was usually the woman who had an answer for everything, the woman who could look him in the eye even when the whole world seemed determined to bring her down.Now she could barely speak.“Raymond?” She spoke quietly.“I'm listening.”“Don't let anything happen to me please.”His throat tightened. “Nothing is going to happen to you. We're getting you help.”He wanted to

  • Apocalypse Reborn: My Family Begged But I Shut The Gates   The Pain

    Amanda stood up from the couch to get some water. That was all. She walked into the kitchen, took a glass from the shelf, and filled it at the tap.She was halfway through the first sip when the pain hit.It wasn't a cramp. A cramp she could have waited out. This was a hot, twisting knife low in her belly, and it made her fingers go loose. The glass slipped and exploded against the tiles."No." Her hand flew to her stomach. "No, no, no."{Warning: Elevated stress levels detected. Recommend immediate medical attention.}Her knees gave out. She caught the edge of the counter and hung there, knuckles white, water and glass all around her bare feet."Something's wrong," she said, and her voice came out thin and cracked. "Something is really wrong."She made it to the living room one wall at a time. The couch was only ten steps away, but it felt like a mile. She fell onto the cushions and the pain followed her down. Then it got worse.She folded in half. A scream ripped out of her before s

    The coffee had gone cold hours ago.Amanda didn't notice. She was staring at the lists—the same lists she had checked three times already—and wondering if she was doing enough. Food supplies. Water purification tablets. Medical equipment. Batteries. Fuel. Seeds. Tools. Weapons. Every item had been calculated, cross-referenced, and verified. Every item had a purpose. She had been preparing for weeks. But something still felt incomplete. She reached for her phone and scrolled through her banking application. The numbers made her pause. She had spent a significant amount of her savings on the fortress, the supplies, the medical equipment but she still had money. More than enough. Money wouldn't matter after the apocalypse. She knew that. But some part of her still hesitated to spend it all. {Observation: Host is hesitating.} A.R.I.S. spoke quietly in her mind. Amanda didn't look up from her phone. "I'm thinking." {Observation: Host has sufficient resources. Hesitation is unneces

    "I'm sorry, Mr. Raymond. The footage is gone."Detective Hale's voice was apologetic. Raymond stared at the phone in his hand. His fingers tightened around the device until his knuckles turned white."What do you mean, gone?" The words didn't make sense.Raymond had been waiting for this call for days. The warrant had been approved. The police had the legal authority to obtain the footage. Everything was supposed to be straightforward."Gone," he repeated. "How can it be gone?"Detective Hale sighed on the other end of the line."We served the warrant this morning. When our officers arrived at the Starlight Hotel, the manager—a man named Marcos—informed them that the recordings had been erased due to a technical malfunction."Raymond felt his chest tighten. "A malfunction?""That's what he said. According to him, the system experienced some kind of failure two days ago. All footage from the relevant period was lost."Raymond closed his eyes.He was sitting in his car outside Meridian
