Ethan and Jax glanced at each other. Ethan immediately picked up the radio phone they all used to communicate."Everybody stop." He ordered.All the cars halted. It seemed all the intercoms had alerted them about the bombs. Jax looked at Ethan again. "Do you know if the bombs are attached to the car or around the car?" He questioned."I have no idea. But what I do know is that we are in a danger zone." Ethan responded, his eyes darting around to see if he could notice anything. After waiting for about five minutes, Jax heaved a sigh of relief."I think we are good now." He stated, starting the car again. All the other cars in front did the same thing. Just then, Ethan's sharp eyes caught sight of something. He couldn't make any sense of what it was, but he knew whatever it was, wasn't there to help them but to destroy."Fuck! Don't move!" He yelled into the radio phone.Jax turned to him a little confused. He was about to ask Ethan why he had said that when all of a sudden, they h

Skyler left Valerie's bedroom on seeing how the atmosphere was. She was also extremely worried about Ethan, but she tried to act strong for her mother. Valerie on the other hand was not helping matters. She was crying along with Elizabeth. All these were reasons why Skyler left the room.Lieutenant Lucy joined her in the living room a few minutes later."Will my brother be found please?" Skyler asked, but Lucy sighed."Honestly, I can't promise anything for now, but I assure you we are trying our best." She affirmed."Assuring me isn't enough, I need to be sure my brother would be found and brought back home...alive." Skyler said. The possibility of Ethan being dead flashed in her mind but she immediately shrugged it off."He is going to be fine. Lieutenant Keith is making some calls. Help will be sent to the point where we lost contact with them." Lucy stated. Skyler gasped in desperation."Will? Are you for real? You still stand here saying will? Help is supposed to be there by now.

All the soldiers stood up. They then realized the truck had stopped moving which means they had gotten to their destination or they stopped for a food break.Whoever it was unlocking the door was taking so much time as everyone were just waiting for him.Ethan hinted at the soldiers to spread out and stand by the side of the truck so the person unlocking the door would not notice their presence at first glance. "The dreadland legionnaires from Armoria, I hope you..." The man said as he opened the door, but he paused when he didn't see anyone.He spoke a strange language before saying something else in English. "Where the hell did they go?" He muttered. He called out to the other men with a strange language, telling them the soldiers were no longer there, then he began to search his cross bag for a torchlight.Ethan took that as an opportunity. He pounced on the man, pushing him to the floor. All the soldiers rushed out of the truck and began to run.The man had not been expecting an

Ethan was tied against a pole, his hands were tied up in a very comfortable manner. The leader of the group, Lord Cyrus stepped out again, with a cigarette in his hand."Ah...what a pleasant day. Isn't it, Ethan Vanguard?" He asked in his posh accent. Ethan didn't respond to his question."Oh, now you won't answer me." Lord Cyrus stated and laughed."Make the knots even tighter." He ordered.Two of his soldiers came forward with an extra metallic rope. They tied Ethan's hands with it, tearing his skin as they did."Arghhh." Ethan groaned as blood trickled down his body.Lord Cyrus walked to Ethan's front and held his jaw."How I wish the people of Armoria could see their legion commander right now, weak and almost lifeless in my arms." He sneered.Ethan spat on his face in response. Lord Cyrus frowned and banged Ethan's head against the pole."How dare you?!" He fumed. "Your mouth stinks." Ethan responded.Lord Cyrus's eyes narrowed, he looked at some of his soldiers standing a few

Back at Ethan's house, there was a small crowd forming in front of the house. They were holding placards and thrusting th upwards into the air. Elizabeth and Skyler peeped through the window. “Mom, it seems to be a peaceful protest.”Keith, who was also in the house with them, began making calls to have security men mobilized to the location. Elizabeth decided to pay more attention to the words that were being said, “bring back Ethan vanguard! Bring back Armoria’s hero!” They chanted in unison.She felt a bit relieved to know that people were out there and they wanted Ethan back as much as she wanted. “I'll go out there and make sure I clear up the crowd,” Keith said and then left the sitting room. Skyler wanted to follow after him but then Irene immediately stepped in her path. “You brother wanted me to protect you, I'll do just that. I can't let you go out like this.”Skyler sighed and then turned to face her mother. “Don't worry mom, Ethan will be rescued.”Her phone began buzz
