Marcus got dressed, tucked his gun into the back of his pocket, and stepped out. "Best of luck," Kathrine said, and he smiled, thanking her as he caressed her chin. With his hands in his pockets, he began to walk away into the cold night. He got into his car, drove off, and parked at the old town junction. Then, he headed into the old town.When Marcus arrived, he didn't see the man he was expecting. He scanned the area, whistling softly, and then Grey emerged from the shadows. Marcus heard footsteps behind him and turned to see Grey approaching. "Who are you?" Marcus asked, his eyebrow raised in confusion, knowing this wasn't the man he was supposed to meet. Grey pulled out a cigarette, took a drag, and stood in front of Marcus, blowing smoke in his face. Marcus waved the smoke away with his hand, his frown deepening."Two can play this game," Marcus said, crossing his arms. The man let out a loud laughter, and Marcus stared at him as if he was a madman. The man stopped laughing a
He stood my ground, fists clenched, as more men approached me. I growled, ready to take them down. The first man swung at him, but he dodged and punched him in the jaw. He crumpled to the ground.Another man charged, but Marcus kicked him in the stomach. He doubled over, gasping for air. I quickly dispatched two more men with swift punches to their faces.A fifth man tried to grab him from behind, but he flipped him over his shoulder. He landed with a thud. Marcus turned around, ready for the next attacker.The men kept coming, but Marcus was a force to be reckoned with. He punched, kicked, and dodged his way through the crowd, taking down each opponent with ease.Finally, the last man fell to the ground, defeated. He stood victorious, my chest heaving with exertion. Marcus's eyes scanned the area, but he couldn't find anyone. He ran out of the basement, opening doors to each room, searching for Grey. He then climbed the stairs, and just as he was about to open one of the doors,
"Life support?" Emma repeated, shaking her head in disbelief. "My brother's condition isn't that bad, is it?" she asked, tears welling up in her eyes.The Doctor's face fell, and he hesitated before speaking. "I wish I could change what happened, but I can't. Unfortunately, that's what we have to do before we can get the vaccine," he said gently.Emma's face crumpled, and she shook her head vehemently. "There has to be something, Doctor! Anything, please!" she begged, her voice cracking with desperation.But her father spoke up from behind her, his voice firm. "Fine, I'll sign the papers," he said, his words like a death sentence.Emma's legs gave out, and she knelt on the floor, her hands clasped over her mouth as she let out a loud, anguished scream. Tears streamed down her face, and her body shook with sobs.The Doctor's expression was somber, and he nodded sympathetically. "I'm so sorry, Emma. We'll do everything we can to save your brother," he said, his voice soft.But Emma was
Grey shot Marcus in the leg, and Marcus immediately took off running. Grey chased after him, but Marcus was too fast. He reached the car and jumped in, starting the engine just as Marcus was closing in.Grey shot at the him again, but Marcus dodged the bullet, this time falling to the ground. He rolled and landed at the base of a tree, hitting his back hard. He let out a growl and struggled to sit up, clutching his left leg in agony.With a grimace, Marcus pulled out the bullet from his leg, his eyes closed tight in pain. He let out a groan and panted heavily, his back against the tree for support.As he caught his breath, Marcus's mind raced with worries. Marcus looked around frantically, trying to find a way to escape. But it was night, and the darkness made it hard to see any potential help. Just as he was scanning his surroundings, he heard footsteps approaching. He held his breath, his heart racing with anticipation."Marcus, show yourself if you aren't a coward!" Grey taunted,
Emma rushed to the Doctor, her voice quivering with urgency. "Take this, save my brother!” she begged, her hands shaking. The Doctor nodded and quickly took action. "I hope we're not too late," he said, his face grim with concern. Emma didn't answer, her eyes fixed on her brother's limp form as he was rushed to the theater. She stood there, her hands clasped together, praying fervently that her brother would survive. Marcus approached her and placed a reassuring hand on her back. "He'll be fine," he said softly. Emma turned to him, tears streaming down her face, and hugged him tightly, sobbing into his chest. "I hope so, I'm so scared," she whispered. Marcus chuckled and patted her back. "Don't be scared, everything will be fine," he said, his voice calm and soothing. Emma nodded, still sniffling, and stayed in his arms for a moment. But then they heard a loud scream and Emma freed herself from Marcus's embrace. She followed Sandra's gaze and gasped in shock. "Marcus, you
Katherine nodded. "I will help you find out who Grey is, but I just need some information from you," she said.But before Marcus could respond, the door burst open and Emma walked in, a huge smile on her face. She rushed over to Marcus and hugged him tightly. "Thank you so much for this, I don't know how to ever repay you," she said, her eyes shining with gratitude.Marcus chuckled and sat up straight, wrapping his hands around hers. "It's nothing, really," he said.But Emma shook her head. "It's something. You don't know what you've done for me," she said, her voice filled with emotion.Then her gaze darted to the others in the room. "Thank you all," she said, smiling. "My father is hosting a party this evening to appreciate everything you've done. You all have to come," she said, pointing at them and smiling.The others nodded and smiled, happy to accept the invitation. "We'd love to come," Katherine said, speaking for the group.Emma's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Great! I'll s
Marcus felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around to see Kathrine. She raised her eyebrows, concerned. "What happened?" she asked."I think I saw Grey here," Marcus said, looking around frantically. Kathrine's frown deepened. "Are you sure?" she asked, her voice firm but worried.Marcus nodded. "Where?" she asked, already starting to walk away."I saw him at the party, chased him, and then...now I can't find him," Marcus explained, his voice rising in anxiety.Kathrine cursed under her breath as she quickened her pace, running to the T-junction. She looked around, but saw no one. "I can't find anyone," she said, turning back to Marcus."Are you sure you saw him?" she asked again, her eyes narrowing."Yes, I saw him! He tapped me, pulled off his mask...and now this!" Marcus said, his legs kicking out in frustration."Calm down," Kathrine said, patting his back. "I can't keep calm! Go get Sandra, we need to go!" Marcus exclaimed."What? We just came to the party," Kathrine said, her
"Are you both related?" Emma asked, her eyes narrowing.Marcus shook his head. "No, we are not related at all," he said, trying to sound convincing.Emma shrugged. "Find maybe I was overthinking. So, why did you all leave my party?" she asked, her gaze darting from one person to another.“Well…uhhh…”But before Marcus could finish his sentence Kathrine blurted out, "Marcus is lying! We don't know this man! Please, what do you know about him?"Marcus exclaimed, "Kathrine!”“We need to tell the truth! There's no point in lying!" Katherine defended herself.Sandra added, "She's right, Marcus. We need to open up if we want to find out who that man is."Kathrine slammed her hands against the table. "We need to stop hiding things! If we want to get to the bottom of this, we need to be honest!"Emma's eyes widened in shock. "Wow, what's going on?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.The group fell silent, waiting for Marcus to speak. Marcus pulled out a chair and gestured for Emma t
