The sunlight turns orange. Forming lines in the western sky indicating that it is getting late.Robert glanced at his watch, it was almost three in the afternoon and Sam hadn't arrived yet. He got up from his seat and approached the bed where Dakota was leaning against a high pillow still reading his book."Dax, I'll be out for a while, if Sam doesn't come, I'll stay here with you tonight, okay?""Just go home, Rob, just leave me alone here, you guys will only disturb my sleep."Robert pursed his lips."Yeah, but your room here is more comfortable than in the apartment, do I have to sleep alone with that Sam? It's going to be weird."Dakota turned, looking at Robert for a moment.“What happened to your apartment? Why don't you come with Kim?”Robert scratched his head."Your sister is busy with her work, while the apartment is very cold, I'm afraid to sleep alone."For a moment, Dakota glanced at Robert. He knew that his brother-in-law was just talking carelessly. There is no way he'
Twenty hours earlier. The alarm echoed loudly in the first-class prison complex on the outskirts of Bayward. Bright red sirens flashed in all corners. Guards hurried back and forth, searching for several inmates who had managed to escape into the two fenced areas before exiting the high-security building. "God damn it! Do you want to run away?" Without mercy, the big guards threw their batons and beat several prisoners who were still trying to escape. Some were caught before arriving at gate one, some even managed to get out of the gate and had to be paralyzed with rubber bullets. ”Ah! It’s hurt!" The big guards with muscles sticking out of their tight clothes were merciless. Even though some of the prisoners looked fiercer than them, they didn't give a single prisoner a chance to escape from their watch. "God damn it! You try to run! Take this!" Hard and flexible batons smashed the thick bodies mercilessly, groans of pain and exaggerated screams could be heard in the corners of t
"No! Take me, I'm a doctor, I can treat you, let him go, what do you want from him?” Troy exclaimed seeing the man's leg which was wrapped in bandages and still bleeding, he might have pushed himself too hard.The man pointed the knife at Dakota's neck and scratched it until it bled.”Stop where you are, I don't need you!”Don't know what the man wanted from him, Dakota felt very helpless, maybe because of the painkiller's effects plus his unwell condition, he could only surrender at that moment. He looked at Troy as if to say that it was better for Troy not to interfere. The man almost pulled Dakota into the back of the ambulance but Troy still didn't let go. He tried to keep going."No, don't take him, just take me, look, I'm a doctor, I can treat you."The man didn't seem to need Troy, he remained adamant in his place until he heard the voice of his partner sitting behind the wheel.“Damn it, what are you waiting for, get in quickly, people are coming here!” the man exclaimed. The
The rain fell hard. The large and sturdy black jeep’s wheels broke through puddle form from the rainwater. The bright sky suddenly turned dark when Sam pulled his vehicle onto the toll road out of town. He followed the last trace of the gps from the ambulance visible on the radar.“Erw, talk to me!” Sam exclaimed on the phone line with Erw."Boss, I managed to see a little of the ambulance driver's eyes from the footage, there is a possibility that he is one of the two convicts who escaped from the level one prison outside the city of Bayward. There was warning data from the Department of Law that there had been an attempt to break out of the prison last night. After investigating for several hours later it was discovered that three prisoners had managed to get out of prison. They chased him into the forest area, one was caught but two ran away. The prison has distributed the photo to all local police, two prisoners managed to escape, both of them are convicts of heinous murder with s
Meanwhile, in Erw's room, Ron was standing behind Erw monitoring the road where the ambulance was last seen. The car vanished as soon as it leaving the city border.“Boss, the car enters the highway leaves the town, heads to the forest and the Cyan border. There was no trace of them coming out on the other side. The closest monitoring cameras to Cyan city also did not catch their sighting.” said Erw on the phone with Sam. Sam has arrived at the last location where the ambulance's GPS signal was.The sun shining so bright after the rain stopped. The remaining water that flooded the road made the sun glare so that Sam had to wear sunglasses. Apart from the long toll road, the left and right sides are empty areas, and not far ahead is the protected forest of the city of Bayward. They could go anywhere at this time. The forest was the area that separated Bayward from the mountains around Cyan and other cities. With such a large forest area, at this time, they must still be in the forest.“
Sam, Rina, and Luk ran towards the thick trees, deeper into the forest.From the dark of night, armed with flashlights, Sam and the others finally found an ambulance covered in leaves that was difficult for the drone to track beforehand. He waved his hand to Rina and Luk to get ready and spread out from the other side. While settling down, Sam approached a small building that was almost covered by leaves and trees growing around it. It's not strange that Erw's drone hasn't found anything since earlier.The sound came again, this time quite loud. Sam widened his eyes, did they do something to Dakota? Without thinking, he ran towards the house. There was light in the room, Sam prepared to raise his weapon to stop anyone who was caught standing in the middle of the room.“Stop in place!” he shouted aiming his gun.The body fell heavily onto the dusty floor, blood all over its face. Sam widened his eyes, it wasn't Dakota or Doctor Amber, but, someone with his back to him, it looked like Da
Bayward International Airport. This vast airport is one of the most luxurious and sophisticated in the country. Non-stop flights on international and domestic routes fill the large screens in every corner. Aris and Beni parked their vehicle in front of the entrance and hurried inside the airport. Beni tossed his car keys to the officer standing at the large door and rushed past him.“Here, please take care of this,” he said.The officer looked momentarily confused, but Aris and Beni didn’t give him a chance to refuse. Soon, two police vehicles also pulled up behind Aris's car. Aris glanced at the young uniformed officer accompanying them. Moments later, several airport security personnel approached. Before that, Erw had already contacted the security staff and shared a photo of Susan Reis, who was now known to be in the waiting area at gate 19, waiting for her flight to take off.The waiting area was visible from the outside, and vice versa, so Aris and the team had to hurry to appreh
Dakota just stared straight ahead, not responding to Sam right away. Sam pressed the gas and continued driving.“Dax, you know, right now, you can’t hide your problems from me forever. Sooner or later, everything will come out, so it’s pointless to keep it a secret,” said Sam again.Sam looked at Dakota for a moment, then focused back on the road. He was waiting for Dakota’s answer.“It’s a message from Roger. You think I couldn’t have secrets?” Dakota asked, looking at Sam with sharp eyes.Sam stammered. That was true; everyone had the right to have secrets.“Uh, well, but your secrets aren’t like everyone
