The quiet was broken only by Levian's ragged grunts as he forced himself to stay conscious. He knew that if he closed his eyes, even for a moment, he might never be able to open his eyes.Sherry gently squeezed his hand as if it was her turn to tell him everything was going to be okay…that he was going to be okay. Before her lay nothing but darkness…the dark forest and the uneven road. Afraid the headlights would give them away, she left them off as much as she could. She looked at the time. They'd been on the run from the prison for twenty-five minutes, and so far, there was no sign they were being followed. 'Is it really over?' Sherry wondered, but she couldn't bring herself to breathe a sigh of relief. After all, she still hadn't reached the place Levian had shown her on the map...the border bu
“What do you mean by that?” Adannael’s voice cracked through the silence in the room. He could hardly believe what he had just heard. “You allowed those people to escape?” He sucked in a sharp breath and exhaled through his teeth. “Not once, but twice?”Sergeant Samuel, who had just finished relaying their current status, clenched his jaw until it hurt but said nothing.“And they even took a prisoner with them? Hah!” Adannael let out a harsh, humorless snort. His eyes narrowed as he looked at every personnel there in disdain. “And you dare claim you have the best prison security?”No one answered. Even if they were short on manpower, even if circumstances had been against them, the truth was undeniable. They had let their guard down.Adannael’s gaze shifted to the commander lying unconscious nearby and shook his head. Then, with a sudden movement, he rose to his feet.“This won’t do.” His voice was low. He turned his sharp stare on the Sergeant. “We have to report this incident to His
“Superior!” A soldier barged into the office, shouting as alarms blared throughout the building. “We are under attac–!”But he stopped mid-sentence when he saw her lying motionless on the floor, next to an empty chair. He immediately got alerted and quickly scanned the room.The intruder they had captured earlier was nowhere to be seen. He held the gun and slowly walked further inside when the open window drew his attention.“...no way,” he whispered, as he rushed towards the window and looked outside. But the evidence dangled there…a rope, dancing lazily against the wall outside.“Goddammit.” He scrubbed a hand over his face, muttering something harsher under his breath that didn’t really make it past his teeth. “Today’s just one disaster stacked on another.” He hurried back to Amelia and dropped into a squat beside her. He pressed his fingers against her throat and checked for a pulse. It was there.Relieved, he stood up and turned on his comms. “Reporting from the superior’s offic
“You killed the lieutenant, didn’t you?” The superior said as she brought the knife closer to his face one more time. However, seeing that Levian wasn’t willing to answer her, she drew the blade across his skin.“That’s the second cut.” She chuckled as she watched the small red droplets falling from the knife. The superior crouched in front of him again and smiled. “You’re breaking,” she whispered. “How long will you remain stubborn? Your body will betray you before you know it.”“Bring it on,” Levian said as he swallowed the bitterness that seemed to have clamped down hard on his throat. He had his plans to escape the prison, however, the drug was a little more powerful than he had assumed.He didn’t have much time to play around with the superior. After getting the answer he wanted, he had to leave right away. “Say,” Levian began, raising his head just a little. He locked his eyes onto hers and gave a cocky smile. “Aren’t you such a loyal dog to that man Aldrevon?”“Huh?” She narr
Back inside the superior’s office, the atmosphere was heavy with bloodlust. The superior stood before the large monitor on the wall, which flickered with footage from various corners of the prison.Under her command, all the soldiers were out, checking every nook and corner for the second intruder. ‘At least we got one of them.’ She thought as she turned around. Levian sat tied to a chair, wrists bound tight behind his back.She didn’t speak right away. Just stood there, watching him in silence, her arms folded loosely over her chest. Then, slowly, she walked over.“You’re still quiet.”She stopped in front of him, close enough that the chair creaked slightly as he shifted. Her eyes carefully looked over his face, taking in as much detail as she could.She leaned forward and raised her one hand, brushing the side of his face. Her fingers slid down from his temple to the edge of his jaw before settling near his throat.“If you talk now,” she said quietly, pressing her thumb against th
“Superior!” The soldier stationed on the second floor stiffened and saluted as a woman in a dark officer’s coat descended from the top floor. She was tall, built with lean muscle, and carried a leather whip coiled around her waist like a venomous snake.“Are you leaving now?” He asked. Her leaving the office meant only one thing—a visit to the basement cell.She gave him a sharp nod. “How are things this afternoon?” Her eyes swiftly swept across the corridor before settling back on him.“Everything’s fine for now,” the soldier replied. Just then, another soldier who had returned to his duty also approached them.“Good afternoon, Superior!” He saluted her. “Hnn.” She gave a slight nod, turned around, and walked to the stairs leading to the basement. “For some reason, the superior seems irritated today, doesn’t she?” the soldier who had just arrived whispered.The other soldier momentarily hesitated and called after her, “Superior?” “What about the soldiers you called in a while ago
Although Levian spent most of his time indoors working, he had an athletic physique. He reached Sherry’s floor in no time from the parking lot.The door that he had locked behind him was ajar. Levian felt his heart reach his throat while his steps continued to hasten. Just as he had reached the door,
“I guess you can not have everything in one single person,” Sherry sighed as she wiped her hair with the towel. “No wonder people say no one is perfect.”Sherry opened her mouth to continue her monologue but her eyes had somehow gained a new alertness to it.Something was wrong inside her home!Her ear
Once inside the bedroom, Sherry quickly packed up her bag. She did not have that many clothes that she needed to pack. After making sure she had kept everything she needed inside her bag, she grabbed a towel and ran inside the washroom.Meanwhile, Levian who was standing outside looked at the closed
After hearing their small conversation of Roy with that man, and after looking at the GPS, Levian realized the gravity of the situation.“The Zacob family's Southern Port...” Levian stared at the call as he gnashed his teeth. His men were on the enemy turf!***It was around midnight. The sound of the
