Kenny and Zeres were roughly dragged by the guards down a corridor, but they couldn't fight back. The kind of treatment they were going through was supposed to send shivers down their spines, if they couldn't have ever been in that situation, but it wasn’t their first time getting captured by an enemy. They had their hands bound tightly behind their backs. As they approached a large wooden door, they didn't know what the masked man was going to do with them. The guards pushed open the door, revealing a room that could scare anytime, but to Kenny and Zeres, they had seen such a room very many times. It was a place where people got tortured. The room was dimly lit by a single, candle on a dusty old table in the corner. At the center of the room was a sofa and sitting on it was a figure hidden in darkness and his face still concealed by a mask, holding a gun in his hand. His eyes were fixed somewhere else and he didn't even dare look at them. Kenny and Zeres were forcefully th

Zeres and Kenny instinctively closed their eyes, not knowing what was happening but they both didn’t feel any pain in their bodies. Kenny, however, was the first to regain his composure. As he slowly opened his eyes, he saw the masked man, a look of confusion on his face. He knew what had just happened, his people had arrived. He wanted to buy as much time as possible, by making the masked man mad so that his and Zeres' people would arrive. What the masked man didn't know was that Kenny had a special wristwatch, equipped with advanced technology. With a quick movement of his lips, Kenny silently sent a coded message to Zeres' friend, who happened to be waiting nearby, monitoring the situation from a hidden location. He had told him that it was time to take action. Meanwhile, unknown to the masked man, Zeres, despite being tightly bound, utilized the time when Kenny was distracting the masked man to retrieve a whistle from Kenny's pocket. Zeres pressed a certain button on the whi

Natasha slowly drifted from her sleep. She could feel that her head felt a little heavy as she slowly opened her eyes. She couldn't remember how she fell asleep. When she looked in the other direction, he eyes caught sight of someone else in the room. "D-Dave?" Natasha stammered, her voice sounding like a whisper. She tried to sit up, but her body felt heavy. Dave's concerned eyes met hers, and he sighed with relief. "Finally, you are awake. I have been trying to reach you all night. Why didn't you pick up any of my calls?" Natasha blinked, her mind racing with memories of the previous night. "I... I don't remember receiving any calls," she replied, her voice laced with confusion. "My body felt strange, it was itching all over, and my vision became blurry." Dave's brows knitted together, worry etching deeper lines on his face. "You don't remember anything after that? No missed calls, no messages?" Natasha shook her head weakly. "No, nothing. ..I just remember dragging myself to

Kenny sat in his room, deeply absorbed in his book, but he couldn't even understand what he was reading. His mind was being disturbed by the thoughts of what Natasha was going through. It was all because of him. He blamed himself for failing to protect her. This was the promise Kenny made to Natasha that he would always protect her and he didn't fulfil the promise.He was still on the first page of the book when his phone buzzed on the desk. He glanced at the screen, eyebrows furrowing with confusion. The number displayed was unfamiliar, it was a string of digits he had never seen before. He was curious as he reached for his phone and unlocked it, opening the message."Meet me at the old abandoned warehouse at midnight. Come alone." He read the message. The sender just went directly to the point without beating around the bush .The words message on the screen, made Kenny shiver a little. The warehouse had a reputation in the city and there was a dark history that was a talk of the da

Kenny slowly woke up as the morning sun slipped through the glass window , lighting up his bedroom. He stretched his body as he yawned. He felt tired because they slept almost in the morning the previous night. He sat at the edge of the bed and put his feet on the floor, reminding himself it was time to get going.When he looked at the clock, he quickly stood up. "Oh no, I’m late!" he whispered. He rushed into the bathroom and splashed cold water on his face to wake up. He brushed his teeth quickly, then got into the shower. The shower took less than three minutes then he wrapped a towel around his waist and went to pick out clothes. He chose a clean white shirt, a black suit, and a tie. He dressed quickly and made sure everything looked perfect.He needed to get something for breakfast so he walked into the kitchen only to be welcomed by the nice scent of coffee. He poured a cup and took a sip. It helped him feel more awake, but when he checked the clock again, he realized he was
