Will turned off flight mode on his phone, his left hand resting on the steering wheel. Almost immediately, a call came through, and he answered quickly.“Hello, am I speaking with Mr. Williams?” a man’s voice asked.“Yes, this is he. Who am I speaking with?” Will replied.“I’m Dr. Grayson from Mercy General Hospital, calling about your wife, Mrs. Mia.”Will’s heart tightened. “Is she okay?” His voice trembled with worry.“She’s fine,” Dr. Grayson reassured him. “But we need you here at the hospital, Mr. Williams.”“Doctor—”“Please, calm down, Mr. Williams,” the doctor interrupted gently. “Your wife is doing well.”Will drew in a steady breath, nodded, and replied, “Alright,” ending the call.He took the next turn, heading back to the hospital as fast as traffic allowed.---Will burst into the hospital, eyes scanning the busy corridor. He stopped a passing nurse, his breath coming in short gasps.“Please, can you tell me where I can find Dr. Grayson?” he asked urgently.The nurse smi

Henry leapt into a room and found it empty. Without hesitation, he dashed into the next, scanning carefully but finding nothing. He hurried on to the third room. There he spotted Caleb, bound to a chair with his mouth gagged by duct tape.Henry rushed over, dropping his gun to the floor. He peeled off the duct tape from Caleb’s mouth, then pulled a small knife from his pocket and began cutting through the rope.“Henry...?” Caleb murmured, eyes wide with surprise.“We don’t have time,” Henry replied sharply as he worked.“Henry,” Caleb called again, noticing a shadow moving near the door.Henry ignored him, continuing to saw at the ropes.“Henry!” Caleb’s voice grew urgent, his eyes widening in fear. “There’s someone at the door.”Henry spun around just as a man stepped in, gun raised. Before they could react, a gunshot rang out. Both ducked instinctively, closing their eyes.When they looked up, they saw blood dripping from the man’s forehead. He collapsed with a heavy thud, revealing

Jesse and Caleb stood to leave when they caught sight of Asher approaching. Caleb moved slowly toward him. Asher stepped forward to meet him, with Amanda close behind. They embraced, tears streaming down Caleb’s face. “It’s over now, sweetheart,” Asher whispered, holding him tightly. Caleb’s gaze shifted to the spot where Henry had stood before the mine detonated. Asher’s grip loosened as he followed Caleb’s eyes. Caleb took slow steps toward the blast site, Amanda and Jesse a few paces behind.

Fragments of Henry’s body lay strewn where the explosion had thrown them. His head rested several feet apart from the rest, pale beneath a mask of dust and dried blood. Asher dropped to his knees, tears streaming freely. His hands trembled as he crawled for

The Next Day They met in a quiet, softly lit room at the adoption agency. The walls were painted a warm cream, and a few colorful toys were neatly arranged in the corner. Chloe entered holding the hand of a small boy. Henry looked up nervously but curious, gripping her hand tightly. “Hello,” she said softly, standing before Caleb and Asher. “Nice to meet you again. This is Henry.” She smiled gently. “He’s five years old and an orphan.” “Henry?” Caleb and Asher said together, exchanging looks before focusing back on the boy. Henry’s blue eyes scanned Caleb and Asher, wide but cautious. Caleb knelt down to meet Henry’s gaze. “Hi Henry.
