View MoreKAYLA POV The journey back to that old bridge house was like a movement back to my past. But I was consoled that I had a mission there. In Joe's SUV, his cigarette smoke was thick but I didn't care due to what I've seen for the past days. The journey was a silent one as neither of us said anything to each other. It felt like we've said everything that needed to be discussed. In no time, I saw the bridge house in sight once again as it looked unrecognizable. It looked like a deformed skeleton adorned with yellow caution tape all around the place. Looking at this structure before me, I couldn't call it a house anymore because everything in it has darkened to an unusual extent. Despite the fire dying out long ago, white smokes were still visibly seen moving around like ghosts. When we reached a certain meter away from the house, Joe stopped the car which I came out. I realized this was a driveway then. Detective Joe came out also but leaning on the car. "I'll give your space, Kayla bu
KAYLA POVAt first glance, I realize that the Federal Bureau of Investigation's field office was somewhere that can't explain in words. It seems like the screams from people inside can be swallowed by that massive structure. When I'm back to reality, I realize that I was in the 12th floor of that building. Sitting on a high backed chair, the office was adorned with awards but simple in nature. My attention was drawn to the television on the wall when I saw different news. BREAKING: GOVERNOR DECIDES TO STEP DOWN AMIDST SEVERAL ALLEGATIONS OF CORRUPTION. BENTA'S & CO STOCKS PLUMMETS AS THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ARE TAKEN INTO CUSTODY. After that headline, a footage was displayed when Sterling was led out of that warehouse in handcuffs. He was the only person out of the place. This means the explosion killed those cleaners but not him. Seeing his composure, he didn't walk like a lord anymore but like a cornered rat. But on closer view, his face was raging with fury. "He hasn't said anyt
KAYLA POV The pin drop silence in that warehouse was terrifying and my body reacted badly. It was an old taste filled with betrayal and dust. Looking at the warehouse, Sterling stood there with his cold and triumphant stance as he held his tablet. "Ninety five percent already?" Sterling said as his thumb was still on the tablet screen. "I'll said Zack was such a genius who knew the situation before it happened. He saw the future that he'll be hunted if the evidence leaked. So, this "dead man's switch" he created alerted us which led me to you for negotiation". Everything was just blurry as I tried to stay. Joe couldn't move as he was stunned by this revelation. To worsen the situation, the laser gun threat was back as those tormenting red dots were on us. Surviving these dots twice in a period of time is just insane. "What should I negotiate again with you have killed everyone I know?" I yelled back at him. "I have to stop this remaining 5% from uploading completely. This part c
KAYLA POV Looking at those incoming headlights, it has a resemblance to the twin suns who came to redeem the long night. As it drew closer, I had to prepare myself for the worst in case it's another troop of cleaners. The mudded covered SUV halted in front of me as the tires shrieked. The door opened violently but I still held my ground. "Come in quickly before the smoke will alert other cleaners to this place", I was dumbfounded as I saw the person in the car. That was Detective Joe. He was a ghost of his usual personality. The battered face filled with injuries, shirt stained with blood was clear evidence of this testament. He signalled me to come in with his hand gesture. "Joe?", I called out to him as I finally found my voice. "I thought the fire had.... Even Sterling said..." "That Mothrfucker brags a lot that he forgets reality. Actually, I had to escape through a vault in that godforsaken house. Found an SUV which i had to hop in to further my movement there. I had 10 min
