It was morning when he opened his eyes. Beside him, he saw Edward lying down, still in the same clothes, smiling softly at him?         'Already up?'         He nodded, then looked down as the man kissed his forehead, then got out of bed. 'Hazel told me.  Verdict has been found the traitors.'         Reluctantly, he gave a big yawn, then caught up with Edward. 'Then? Any updates?'         'We're still waiting for you about the next plan,' Edward walked toward the wardrobe, then applied the jacket that the man had stored in the closet yesterday on him.         'That's right,' he caught his jacket, looked at the jacket. His body is much better than yesterday. 'But, you also joining us?

Raymond knocked on Hazel's door. As soon as it opened, she saw the figure of Edward, who frowned at his arrival, telling him to enter.'Why are you here?' Edward walked ahead of him, stroking the nape of his neck back onto Hazel's bed, which was full of pieces of strange things he did not recognize. Raymond closed the door slowly, following Edward and Hazel, who were busy with their business again.'Seeing you, Ed. Can't I?'The man's hand, who was assembling the components-whatever-it-was, suddenly stopped, as did Hazel, who averted her eyes from her laptop screen.

As soon as the gaseous effect disappeared, Raymond gave the cue to go inside, running while avoiding the gunfire of Simon's men who were manning the passageways they were currently in, along with Edward and Lucas. Meanwhile, the rest have scattered, following his directions. Each of the people he appointed as leader had already brought the tools Hazel had given them as a preventive measure and instructed them to search for the children in the basement while he, Lucas, and Edward moved toward the second floor.'Raymond?' Edward whispered nearby, looking anxious, as soon as they reached the second floor, hiding behind a wall refilling their depleted ammunition.'What?' Raymond peeked outside, to find Simon's men moving their way. He came ou

Raymond looked at Thyme and Verdict, who were still where they were. Thyme remained calm, although he caught a hint of anxiety on their cute face. Meanwhile, Verdict has lost control of his emotions after seeing one of his members killed by Simon. He was struggling to free himself from Simon's men while continuing to curse Simon. But Simon seemed not to care about Verdict's anger. His other hand, which was not holding the revolver, clenched his hands into fists. He was trying to remain calm against the man, who was still waiting for his answer. "What's the catch?" He remained calm. "If you join me, everyone in this place will be released." Raymond narrowed his eyes, doubting Simon's words, which did not sound convincing in his ears. Simon absolutely did not mention the conditions if he refused the offer. His attention turned to Edward. "I wondered what kind of joke I would have as soon as I came here. Rather, I found something beyond my expectations, eh?" Edward looked up, lo

He spent more than two weeks lying in a very uncomfortable hospital bed, staring at the scenery outside the window. He heard the screeching sound of birds perched on one of the windows of his room as if trying to greet him with their innocent faces. He continued to watch the birds until they left the window, following their friends. Next to his bed, he found Hazel, who was slicing an apple for him even though he had refused many times as he had lost his appetite. As soon as she finished peeling, the woman tucked the apple into his mouth. Reluctantly, he devoured the apple, chewed it in silence.         'I respect your decision, Raymond.'         He winced in confusion at Hazel's sudden words. Chewing on his apple, he turned his gaze from the window towards the woman who was now giving him a second bite. 'Huh? What are you talking about?'   &nbs
