SLIVER*

★

"Roonie.... It's... It's really you? My five years old brother? The one who cries under the bed? My tall baby?" She sniffled.

"Fûck... Silver" Roonie replied, his voice barely a whisper as he walked to her and engulfed her in a really tight hug.

"I missed you so much ... I missed you... I felt you every single day... I shared your emotions and everything... I missed you" she sniffled.

"Thank you for staying alive, crybaby" he replied, and she only cried more.

"And why is nature so unfair? How could you still be taller than me!!!" Silver cried again.

"Don't be silly" Roonie replied, and she hugged him tighter.

Master X couldn't stop the smile that lifted his face as he watched them.

"Today is fulfilled" Hazzan said behind the cell.

"I know, right?" Rook replied beside him, smiling largely.

Pearl watched from behind them too, smiling dryly.

"Pearl!" Rebekah appeared with Hyce and Axel.

Pearl turned quickly. "Bekah!"

Rebekah pulled her into a breath-snatching hug, and Pearl closed her eyes, reciprocating.

Immediately she broke it, Hyce gave her a light hug too, but Axel wouldn't even look at her.

"Axel...I know you're mad at me...

"Of course! We almost lost Banks!" Axel snapped.

"I'm so sorry...I was just...plain foolish....I....

"I damn know" Axel pulled her into a side hug before she could finish, and she started crying again.

"I'm sorry" she muttered.

"It's fine. If Banks still can't do without you even without his memories, then who am I to object" he said, and she smiled tearfully.

Rebekah wiped her tears.

"My wifey is back!" She beamed.

"So....your parents buried the wrong person? Rook asked, joining them.

"Obviously" Axel replied.

"But do they know you at all? How could they not identify your fake?" Hyce said unfiltered.

"Hyce" Rebekah nudged him.

"No hard feelings, but your parents are dumb. Not sorry to say" Hyce said again.

Pearl bit her lip.

TEN MINUTES LATER*

Almost all the guards were killed in the shootout, but there are still twenty of them left, plus the hospital director.

They were all made to go on their knees, and Silver started picking out the ones who assaulted her sexually.

In the end, she picked five, and the rest were killed.

"We're taking the five plus the bastard director with us. The don't deserve death" Roonie said.

They were ushered forward, and the rest followed them behind, guns to their heads.

Pearl and Silver were holding hands as they left with the crowd, and when they both looked at each other's legs, they began laughing.

Silver is wearing Master X's shoes too.

"I'm glad you're with me at least" Silver said.

"Me too, do you know about BJ?" Pearl asked.

"He's not ordinary, that's all I know" Silver replied.

"He knowingly got kidnapped just to hide here. He's a worldwide criminal... Arrow" Pearl replied.

"Good for him" Silver replied, but Pearl could feel the pain in her voice as they entered the elevator.

They all couldn't fit in at once, so they had to go in batches.

Three batches left before Roonie and Pearl could get in.

They're the last to leave, and immediately they entered the elevator, she faced him.

"I know i don't have the right to pry in your affairs anymore. I almost got you killed and ...everything, but the girl I heard her voice during my call the other time...

"My girlfriend?" He interrupted, giving her a look, and her heart fell.

"Huh? Your...what?"

"Girlfriend" he replied, and the elevator door opened.

He stepped out without waiting for her, and she continued staying in the elevator, watching him leave.

Her stomach practically tumbled, and she almost passed out.

He suddenly stopped and turned back to her with a neutral look.

She quickly rushed out of the elevator, cursing herself inwardly.

Well...so far he's happy, she should be happy too.

Isn't it?

She fought back her tears as they stepped out of the hospital.

Happy dating life, Roonie Banks.

They got back to the airfield and met the rest waiting for them already, but their helicopters are in the sky instead of the ground.

It's like all the pilots went somewhere when the battle was happening inside.

"Why aren't they landing?" Axel muttered.

"It's a sick game, y'all! We need to leave!" Hazzan spoke into the voice aid system, and the copters immediately started coming down.

Roonie couldn't help but feel ominous, and the closer they came, the higher the ominous feeling got.

"Get down! Everyone!" He suddenly shouted, pulling Silver and Pearl to his side.

The three of them went down, but he's the one on top, covering their bodies with his own as everyone else went down too.

A second later, all the helicopters in the sky got bombed, blasting and scattering on the field.

Various body parts of the helicopters filled the greenery, and one of the five caught guards got cut in the head by an helicopter fan.

Luckily, no one else got hurt as the helicopter parts burned to ashes on the ground.

Everyone began looking up in horror, and Roonie lifted his body from the two girls below him.

Silver's eyes are wide open, but Pearl's are closed, and she's gasping for breaths.

She must he intolerant to shock cos the blast is making her unstable.

Roonie quickly carried her in his arms.

"Get her to the nearest hospital!" Rebekah shouted as Roonie ran barefoot to the main road, stopping a cab and getting in with her on his laps.

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