Rain lashed down at midnight, yet Gabriel was still outside. He didn't have an umbrella, and he didn't seek shelter from the rain. He just stood stubbornly in the storm.

I didn't stop until my lungs burned and my legs threatened to give out. I found myself at the edge of the woods, the trees a dark, impenetrable wall. I leaned against a thick oak, careful of my arm, and gasped for air. I had no idea where I was going, no plan, no money. Just the clothes on my back and the burning need to survive. A wave of exhaustion washed over me, and I sank to the ground, the rough bark digging into my back. I closed my eyes, trying to think.

And that's when I spotted him. My uncle Sam lay sprawled near the bar, Bathing in his own blood. Two cousins were dragging him. But I still had to find Caleb and dad. Then I saw movement. Marco, one of our enforcers, running toward me, his face was turned up and bloody. "Ethan! You have to get out! Now!" he yelled.

"Gosh, why isn't it healed yet? It looks so terrifying. Hayden is timid. Ms. Jordan, please keep Anna away from here. Don't scare him." Anna trembled all over, with tears welling up in her eyes. Suddenly, she rushed forward and tried to push Hayden. "This is my daddy! You go away! This is my daddy!" Hayden was pushed slightly, but Anna did not apply much force. However, he slumped to the ground and screamed, "Ah! Someone attacked me! The ugly clown attacked me! Daddy, help! My leg is broken!" Arlo's expression changed.
