RICHARD'S PLACE, AN HOUR LATER*

"Any fuçking hospital" he told the driver who immediately moved.

RICHARD'S PLACE, AN HOUR LATER*

Richard was shaking with rage as he watched the news on tv.

The psychiatric hospital with an underground section where human trafficking takes place.

Cops are already surrounding the hospital, and there are about seven ambulances, carrying away the bodies of the shot guards.

The helicopter field was shown on screen too, and he got madder when he didn't see the body of anybody from Terraverde.

The helicopter blast was actually his plan B. He was the one who called the pilots up to the sky with a fake altitude alert.

Everything failed.

He failed!

For the first time in history.

And Arrow is still out there, that bastard!

He pushed down the TV with his leg, then he began breathing hard.

He can't stay for long here, else things might go south.

The ringing of his phone made him swallow, but when he took it to see Tate's number, he grinded his jaws before picking.

"Hey slut!" He smirked.

"We need to meet, tomorrow unfailingly. There's something you need to know" her voice came.

"Something?" He frowned.

"Yeah...a big something. Come over to Terraverde" she replied and hung up.

He folded his palm on the phone, then his eyes caught Teal's picture frame on the wall.

When did she even hang this?

He took the frame and smashed it.

TERRAVERDE, A SMALL HOUSE*

Tate dropped her phone after ending the call with Richard.

She had to move out of the mansion with Adrian since the investors took it too, and they rented this one room apartment since then.

They can't even afford a bed, so they sleep on a pile of their clothes.

She stood and walked to the window where she kept Pearl's bird cage.

She was smiling sadly as she fed it some grains, and Sugar chirped happily, unaware of it's owner's demise.

"Pearl" Tate muttered, fighting back her tears.

*

FIRST GOLDEN FOX HOTEL*

Teal and her dogs took refuge in the hotel since their arrival, they occupied a suite.

Romeo and Jeremy are currently playing chess in the game room, but Teal looks restless as she paced the room, not paying attention to them.

"You should sit your arse down" Romeo said.

"Shut up!" She glared.

"Thank gawd I offed my father before travelling last year, maybe I'd be as restless as you right now" Jeremy added.

"I said shut it!" Teal angrily threw a dart at him.

Jeremy avoided it and it landed on the chess table.

Romeo dropped the chess stick and came to her.

"Stop being like this, ok? We promised to be loyal to you but that definitely doesn't warrant treating us like your dogs! We're not even sure if you're Richard's daughter!" He slammed, and Romeo's cheek caught fire as Teal slapped him soundly.

Jeremy gasped.

"I'm telling father to kill you as soon as possible, rat!" Teal spat and stormed out of the room.

Her phone rang as she walked to her room, and she quickly picked at the sight of "Dad" on screen.

"Hello dad, can you just kill...

"I'll be in Terraverde tomorrow" Richard interrupted.

"Why do sudden?" Teal replied.

"Pearl escaped" he announced.

"What the heck!" She gasped.

Romeo and and Jeremy rushed out of the chess room with wide eyes.

"What!" They chorused.

NEXT DAY, GRAND CASINO ~ 5PM*

Everyone is back to Terraverde.

Despite Pearl's unconsciousness, she was carried into the plane and flown back home.

She's currently at the hospital, but the director and unfortunate guards were taken to the casino.

Roonie didn't bother taking them to the torture arena.

He did it in the open.

The remaining four guards and the director were laid out in puddles right in front of the gate.

Their clothes were stripped off till the last clothing.

They're totally naked as he carried out his best torture style, making them drink the murky water till they couldn't drink it anymore, but he still forced their heads inside with his leg.

Water started coming out of the director's ears and nose, but Roonie dipped his head in again, so he just continued drinking.

Silver is standing in front of the casino, smiling with Master X beside her.
