Bonnie's lying in a hospital bed, secured to it and semi drugged out, a tube down her nose hooked up to a machine.81Please respect copyright.PENANAt5NUGhMRig
81Please respect copyright.PENANAqBJkJVTJzK
The sun is up, but she doesn't know what time it is. There are no clocks. The door to the small, cramped, dull room opens. 81Please respect copyright.PENANAfnVKsVnc8L
81Please respect copyright.PENANAzXWVUlFXHx
General Peterson followed by Clara. They bring over a chair from the corner of the room, inching closer to Bonnie. 81Please respect copyright.PENANArqTXj3CerK

"Morning, Bonnie." General Peterson says.81Please respect copyright.PENANA1VtAJfqVwV

"Okay, we'll talk then."81Please respect copyright.PENANAESVRRuRgnH

Clara looks nervous, but ultimatly says nothing. Is this what the term dirty cop means? General peterson isn't a cop, but you get the point.81Please respect copyright.PENANAc4suZugY17

"Did RING hurt you, Bonnie? Your ID is a fake. We don't know who you are. Your photo has been circulated so maybe so family come forward, but if you could give us your name or a family member's at-least-"81Please respect copyright.PENANAWlpK1N04FZ

81Please respect copyright.PENANAce4ZCGW6cq
"They? RING?"81Please respect copyright.PENANABHa85YcziD
81Please respect copyright.PENANARF6aLZ1zSe
"No! Not RING! They're not the only ones out there!" She yells, coughing from the pain of the tube down her throat.81Please respect copyright.PENANAIkp3JZYHJv

81Please respect copyright.PENANAUlbtpXCJXS
"Yeah..."81Please respect copyright.PENANABX4AkUi6pR

Clara cuts her off. "That's enough. She needs a psychatrist. I'm not going to let you go any further!" Clara shooting to her feet.81Please respect copyright.PENANAADViAuCiEa
81Please respect copyright.PENANA13qS5l76cb
"One moment, Bonnie."81Please respect copyright.PENANAAkyivSnA10
General Peterson dragging a protesting Clara out the room.81Please respect copyright.PENANAARzWeI83ER
81Please respect copyright.PENANAELRGclR6UU
"Don't hurt her!" Yells Bobby outside who Vincent is walking through the corridors. He sees General Peterson scolding Clara.81Please respect copyright.PENANAxKKhoZ7zuc
81Please respect copyright.PENANAWGYvp4s3m8
"Shut up." Vincent snarls, socking Bobby in the jaw one. He coughs, few rose petals escaping. White covered in blood which splat to the floor.81Please respect copyright.PENANAE6DdmDFCo7
81Please respect copyright.PENANAsEqTXkyMzV
Clara looks horrified, taking a snap back. The Genereal lets go of her arm, she backs into someone turning around to see a young female with blonde hair.81Please respect copyright.PENANAT8w9jGhYIX
81Please respect copyright.PENANApNI7Z05VsK
She immediatly gives Clara a hug. "It's okay, I'm right here. Things can get intense alot... I'm Allie."81Please respect copyright.PENANAtckrLPK8TD
81Please respect copyright.PENANAk0RkRgJCd5
"Clara."81Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1SO2eDS9r

"U.S Military."81Please respect copyright.PENANAEtAJvTJaLQ
81Please respect copyright.PENANAbKWI9MOGWE
"Allie..." Interjects another voice. Clara who's hugging Allie looks up to see another female. Short brown hair, brown eyes, pale skin with few freckles dressed in a pink sweatshirt, grey track pants and white joggers. 81Please respect copyright.PENANAkjaWHb0xpl
81Please respect copyright.PENANAzcg51TegOB
"Oh, shit." Bobby says. 81Please respect copyright.PENANAU5fQCvXpmm

"Where's Maxis?"81Please respect copyright.PENANAVQlHht6u3b
81Please respect copyright.PENANALsD5akKz0P
"Kiera, you need to go back to your room, okay? Everything is a little chaotic right now."81Please respect copyright.PENANAVczcFtdcpN
81Please respect copyright.PENANA0JNH8cKFN4
"Then why you'd bring me?!"81Please respect copyright.PENANAfspdBnZqR7
81Please respect copyright.PENANAGIR6m8G99l
"We couldn't exactly leave you. You would have never stayed while we weren't present. It would have put you and other staff on edge with eachother. It's easier to just bring you with us."81Please respect copyright.PENANAIZjTrwgU0E
81Please respect copyright.PENANAo3RJjz5A7M
"Kiera Bailey. Return to your room, that's an order. Maxis will be back soon." General Peterson speaks up.81Please respect copyright.PENANAVJCH7ldzBk
81Please respect copyright.PENANA5AzKzYGfmx
"Do you want me to go with her?" Clara asks unsure. "If you could that would be great. Just be nice and gentle with her. If she gives you any trouble, ask for help from someone around here." Allie thanks her.81Please respect copyright.PENANAonk078ZIkQ
81Please respect copyright.PENANA4FNzAeb8iV
Clara takes a step forward holding her hand out to Kiera. Kiera reaches forward and they walk off together.81Please respect copyright.PENANAiXNmyp40Ra
81Please respect copyright.PENANAVmABp18MFc
"I'm still confused. Her and Maxis get out of the hospital for Hanahaki. Is Kiera a prisoner or is she discharged and free to go after us finding out her real identity as well?" Vincent begins.81Please respect copyright.PENANAilZ03t8G2z
81Please respect copyright.PENANAzaBxBfKzza
"Vincent, it's not that easy to sort out. Just drop it for now, there's alot of work to be done. Take Bobby where he needs to go."81Please respect copyright.PENANA4g5gHQj56o

"Woah." Elliot says looking up at their surroundings as Nadine pushes open the door. "This is yours?!"81Please respect copyright.PENANA0alk9qkqVO
81Please respect copyright.PENANAlq9ZfufY8C
"It is, a safe house of mine. I rarely use it." Kaylee responds. It's a two story holiday villa overlooking the beach.81Please respect copyright.PENANApJsWcJuoEO
81Please respect copyright.PENANAzP3VP3IUgB
"Just don't touch any big bright red buttons on remotes."81Please respect copyright.PENANAeobyPLHYsi
81Please respect copyright.PENANAsSX36dSKnx
"So, touch big bright red buttons. Got it." Elliot laughs, Levi breaking into laughter and Elliot wrapping his arm around Levi's shoulders. "Ugh, boys never learn!" Nadine complains.81Please respect copyright.PENANAnZXxwSgWhc
81Please respect copyright.PENANAaWJLvq2CS0
"No, they don't. Once a boy, always a boy. They don't grow up. Ever." Kaylee smiles, laughing a little. "Come on, let's settle in, make some lunch and then we talk about what we're going to do. We can't run from the U.S and Canadian law enforcement forever."81Please respect copyright.PENANApubTO4LYQ6
81Please respect copyright.PENANAlEByofnYw3
"I... I actually kinda miss my older sister right now. But boy, would she have some choice words for me..." Nadine trails off.81Please respect copyright.PENANAt2oAf1CCPt
81Please respect copyright.PENANAC3gVfycZ4v
Our group head upstairs, Nadine actually choosing to room with Elliot. Levi and Kaylee choosing seperate, individual rooms. "Uh, so..." Elliot begins when Nadine makes a beeline for the ensuite, running in and slamming the door, locking it. Elliot stands at it, just looking.81Please respect copyright.PENANAQBkbkBRi1g
81Please respect copyright.PENANAVCDIRPjOmz
He takes a deep breath in and heads for the bed, sitting down, looking at his hands.81Please respect copyright.PENANAOUFuEzeOhH
81Please respect copyright.PENANAWI0SCuxr4M
They aren't physically blood stained, but he just took a life. He ran over one of his own. 81Please respect copyright.PENANAWe7wAFQsMn
81Please respect copyright.PENANAwktILV0JxM
Actually, his proably off the team at this point. His for sure going to jail. He sees a mirror sitting on a bedside table and reaches for it, tumbling off the bed. He holds his neck as far back as he can, tongue out looking in his mouth. 81Please respect copyright.PENANA4LxqtXxwP0
81Please respect copyright.PENANAiYxi0OXKMo
He doesn't see any roses of any color. Maybe his offically overcome it after bouncing around time?81Please respect copyright.PENANAX0JwDOzABR
81Please respect copyright.PENANAYAqbHxCYFJ
"Are you okay?" Says a small voice. "Sorry, I should have knocked!"81Please respect copyright.PENANA4CP6XTB7Vm
81Please respect copyright.PENANA2Vsn0xUoNt
It's Levi. "Levi-"81Please respect copyright.PENANAusGdsLJbEZ
81Please respect copyright.PENANAalyvdVPNl8
Levi looks anxious. "Levi, we're not going to hurt you. RING has fallen. You're free to leave if you want to go."81Please respect copyright.PENANAQRYHbNtPsF
81Please respect copyright.PENANAL6AnfyhLwb
"Where would I go? This is... Nadine said it's Canada."81Please respect copyright.PENANALUmxViPeNL
81Please respect copyright.PENANAznVmqkCRI3
"Oh, right. Uh, you used to work for a delivery company in the U.S. Vicent was your partner, I know him...
Alot has changed... since RING took you..."81Please respect copyright.PENANAb5ENaZDOXG
81Please respect copyright.PENANAtUIAqzF1PC
Levi cups a hand over his own mouth and nose, looking very anxious. RING messed him up. Was he still on the harvest list? This timeline is a few months earlier. He'll have to ask Nadine, if she will even tell him...81Please respect copyright.PENANAqMvtGRaKwh
81Please respect copyright.PENANACQgg41dCSx
"Levi." He says taking both his hands. Levi's now on the verge of tears. 81Please respect copyright.PENANAJLKqmUFrjA
81Please respect copyright.PENANA3JQumg9V4t
"I promise everything will be okay. I'll do everything I can to get you back to the U.S. To Vincent even. Would you like that?"81Please respect copyright.PENANAESTdLbdhop
81Please respect copyright.PENANAIzQzCqfXEu
He nods tearfully.81Please respect copyright.PENANAER00MUWTjH
81Please respect copyright.PENANAvRB137zUA5
"Do you want to get some sleep? When was the last time you had a good nights rest?"81Please respect copyright.PENANA9SrH6tYPvl

81Please respect copyright.PENANA2oqNWGeBBw
"Sure, bud!"81Please respect copyright.PENANAvoGo99FNPi
81Please respect copyright.PENANAOai75JzGLE
And he follows Levi who's clinging to him and is stuck standing outside Levi's room. 81Please respect copyright.PENANAtJPsmdKNri
81Please respect copyright.PENANAVZFCmhEOjb
Nadine's showering, and Kaylee hasn't come out of her room. The door is locked. Is she thinking? Decompressing?81Please respect copyright.PENANAZXKOqq1e9J

---81Please respect copyright.PENANAC19awATnrs
81Please respect copyright.PENANA1mhsW5eyEb
Kiera is laying in bed in their temporary home base. Maxis is opposite to her in another bed and across from them in other individual beds, Allie, Vincent, Thea and Adam. She can't sleep. 81Please respect copyright.PENANAShB7CnZgOs
81Please respect copyright.PENANAeJgmMzKwnn
She sits up, everyone fast asleep. She stands, taking steps towards the door and pulls it up, a slight noisy click. Stepping out and pulling the door shut behind her, the corridor is sterile, bright, but empty. 81Please respect copyright.PENANAYktG3HorxJ
81Please respect copyright.PENANACSS49M4KBY
She looks at the watch on her wrist. 1 a.m to be exact. So much for expericing the hour between 12 and 1 a.m where time stands still. Guess it isn't real.81Please respect copyright.PENANA7OgS51mayC
81Please respect copyright.PENANAn5Nlca848p
She wanders along the corridor. Just door after door. Canada's HQ is identical and like a maze. How long before they can go back home to the U.S?81Please respect copyright.PENANAFMCoZz9kWw
81Please respect copyright.PENANAyGtmVei0DX
She eventually takes a seat on a plastic bench, shoulders slumped over again.81Please respect copyright.PENANA0qR9GYAI4K
81Please respect copyright.PENANApbwvUyCaPV
"Hello there again."81Please respect copyright.PENANAM02Arj1T1U
81Please respect copyright.PENANAhHTvNs5Rsi
It's Clara and she takes a seat beside Kiera. "Can't sleep?"81Please respect copyright.PENANAllXYoF0a4X
81Please respect copyright.PENANAipFg3h0JAV
Kiera shakes her head. 81Please respect copyright.PENANA9VMtCjlw3q
81Please respect copyright.PENANAsI1xUCk8FV
"Neither can I."81Please respect copyright.PENANAxTKVLrMTrl
81Please respect copyright.PENANAQEtiy6OLb9
Kiera gives her a look. 81Please respect copyright.PENANALLn7TUjHE1
81Please respect copyright.PENANAbHlxlQ3lD8
"Uh, yeah, um, Bobby is actually my fiance. Well, ex. I can't marry him after everything that has happened..."81Please respect copyright.PENANAHWuTTA0Gyx
81Please respect copyright.PENANANozusYDmsd
"......"81Please respect copyright.PENANAkWX8dyNwuc
81Please respect copyright.PENANAdpwQ8OP6DU
"Kiera. When RING held your prisoner. What was Bobby like? How did he treat you?"81Please respect copyright.PENANAjGHzWct1JC
81Please respect copyright.PENANACLpmR14cCc
"I could tell you how Nadine May treated me, Bonnie too. I don't think Bobby worked there when I was there."81Please respect copyright.PENANA1tUnVRsDOZ
81Please respect copyright.PENANA77pRdVI2Sm
"Really?"81Please respect copyright.PENANAZQmPplDenr
81Please respect copyright.PENANAIb8jzl0Gni
"Clara. I blocked alot of what happened there out and I don't know want it to come back. My life is over. A part of me died the day they snatched me off the streets and now I'm just a empty husk. 81Please respect copyright.PENANAASpG98wplZ
81Please respect copyright.PENANAGvVUXajvRC
I'm as good as dead now. My career in the U.S Military is over. They're going to medically discharge me, but I'm not free to go at the same time.81Please respect copyright.PENANA1fn1ozRa3f
81Please respect copyright.PENANA2ioQo1X0ub
My life isn't mine anymore." 81Please respect copyright.PENANAlUAMDDqH6B
81Please respect copyright.PENANAvJWYWmYmJo
And she bends over crying. 81Please respect copyright.PENANAhtkJbkWtWy
81Please respect copyright.PENANA6dyWE1JJvb
"Aw, Kiera. That's not true. You can still make something of it, your friends aren't going to ditch you. Things will be complicated for a while, sure, but-"81Please respect copyright.PENANANkjMdFZYSp
81Please respect copyright.PENANA0w4yVCG9HA
"At the momemt, I just want to go back to the U.S. Did you know I had a younger brother?81Please respect copyright.PENANAnR4dLKGFw7
81Please respect copyright.PENANAK3otM2EskK
Turns out I do."81Please respect copyright.PENANA93pY30duzf
81Please respect copyright.PENANArvqsWzRIkG
"Do you want to see him?"81Please respect copyright.PENANAasrQhcoVJe
81Please respect copyright.PENANARwzPddsf1n
"I've already met him once. It was to much at the time. He has parents and a older sister. He got adopted in the U.S while I aged out the foster care system here in Canada. There's no room for me. I don't know anything about him and I couldn't have a relationship."81Please respect copyright.PENANAN60aGXSx2r
81Please respect copyright.PENANAmq5QHvUoir
"Maybe it's less about trying to insert yourself and a relationship, it's that you have never felt like you have belonged anywhere before, Kiera."81Please respect copyright.PENANAkTycQ16fXz
81Please respect copyright.PENANACbScfuDQR1
"I don't know."81Please respect copyright.PENANA5qQXSAu0DW
81Please respect copyright.PENANATmWEx1WGg7
"There you are, Kiera!"81Please respect copyright.PENANAzvxGeiWcSY
81Please respect copyright.PENANArHyysBugzH
They look up to see Maxis, General Peterson standing behind him. He runs up to Kiera and guides her back to their dormitory. "What happened?" Peterson asks.81Please respect copyright.PENANAfPIRThoSIT
81Please respect copyright.PENANAGIacympDCe
"Uh, I think she is now thinking about her biological younger brother and if she has a place anywhere as her life has never really been her own nor a place to call home."81Please respect copyright.PENANAQYSrIXBtvJ
81Please respect copyright.PENANA4d2sr8i9ld
"I see, I could arrange a meeting, a 2nd one. But Kade would need to agree to it. He might decide he doesn't want to see her after the ordeal he went through. Though telling him their Dad, Johnthan Bailey is in custody and we're tracking down Kaylee might persuade him so he feels safe enough to leave his house after the ordeal he went through."
Clara nods her head.81Please respect copyright.PENANAJmlbRbVZuE
81Please respect copyright.PENANAfNDAV8EiLV

81Please respect copyright.PENANAXgaVXiVIYX
"Elliot."81Please respect copyright.PENANAAcY31RgpSv
81Please respect copyright.PENANAVNprT9DrVG
He wakes up, Nadine in his face, awake. He sits up. "Yeah?"81Please respect copyright.PENANAvtntjrlkml
81Please respect copyright.PENANAezrwLNSEnF
She is sitting up in bed. He sits up, looking at the clock on the wall. 1 a.m81Please respect copyright.PENANAazjwZciOO2
81Please respect copyright.PENANAtlVETrlAwT
"Can't sleep?" He asks.81Please respect copyright.PENANAr3uwD3Cdmf

"Yeah, I feel sick."81Please respect copyright.PENANApSdKiPVQYV

"Where are we supposed to go from here, Elliot? Do you know what the last stand protocol is?"81Please respect copyright.PENANAqXnMOaU4Vh
81Please respect copyright.PENANAj083fzt1jh
"No?"81Please respect copyright.PENANA5RiDsbHAcr
81Please respect copyright.PENANAl8gQrbtvdU
"If RING ran the risk of being exposed, we we're supposed to kill ourselves rather than be taken alive."81Please respect copyright.PENANAFkcJLRin10
81Please respect copyright.PENANAhsAKkuAg6k
A shaky breath passes Elliot's lips. Last time, Nadine did try to take her life. 81Please respect copyright.PENANAMwNCnRdb8C
81Please respect copyright.PENANASUfHmeSNII
"Please promise you won't!" He begs, taking her hands in his and lowers his head into her chest, tears streaming down his face. 81Please respect copyright.PENANADwKIw3MyA3
81Please respect copyright.PENANAyu9jDfLGTm
He may not be able to be with her, but it won't stop him loving her. His feelings are real. 81Please respect copyright.PENANAMQlTP5j2Ty

"Who am I. My old sister raised me, we're here illegally. Our visas ran out years ago, I'm from Russia, but I barely remember it. I know everything about it while my sister rejected it, our parents are in hospital dying here. We're in debt.81Please respect copyright.PENANAyPJLqIrQys
81Please respect copyright.PENANAKbuja9VDVx
It's only a matter of time before the goverment catches us and sends us back to Russia. Working for RING, they we're going to create me a whole new identity. 81Please respect copyright.PENANAMnACwtWCEJ
81Please respect copyright.PENANAxfO8HJJ3sF
There was a girl, her name was Kiera Bailey. I was meant to watch her and I lost her and my opportunity to no longer have to hide from the goverment."81Please respect copyright.PENANAwVaP12kytA

He lays back down to, staring up at the ceiling. How are Kiera and Maxis? Soon enough he falls back to sleep. The house is quiet, Kaylee fast asleep in her bed except for one, Levi. 81Please respect copyright.PENANAb5olLBbInv
81Please respect copyright.PENANAQNl4XUr0k2
He gently opens his door, peering out. Dressed for the cold weather outside, backpack on his back and holding his shoes in his hands so walking down the hallway doesn't make to much noise. He slips out of the house, and it's early morning. The sun only just coming up. 81Please respect copyright.PENANAP9pBcHP7Wf
81Please respect copyright.PENANAGYMIwyhJpd
Snow covers the place, and it's cold, but he can still see the beach, even if it is semi-covered in snow. When was the last time he was outside, breathing in the fresh air?81Please respect copyright.PENANAW9IsZrpBDC
81Please respect copyright.PENANACkkFeHXhW3
He can't remember, he was trapped inside for years, all he saw was four walls and cemement floor, steel staircases every single day. He drops his shoes, slipping his feet in, clumbsily tying them up and then he runs.81Please respect copyright.PENANAPuQqxca0K4
81Please respect copyright.PENANALAdmRkYsUn
He makes it to a phone booth, few blocks away near a gas station. Hopefully he hasn't changed his number.... he stole a few coins from Nadine and Kaylee during the day when they weren't looking. He inserts a coin and dials, a mobile number. 81Please respect copyright.PENANAq64q6hM8CR
81Please respect copyright.PENANAwA3EBJFOcN
"Hello?" Says a sleepy sounding voice. 81Please respect copyright.PENANASQW3ArtF3r

81Please respect copyright.PENANAschfGBpaHk
Vincent hears the phone drop and the sound of squelching snow. He climbs out of bed and is shaking Allie away.81Please respect copyright.PENANAM0DoUhnkRf
81Please respect copyright.PENANAbS6vgjroZ4
She sits up annoyed. "Get up, wake the others. I'm going to get General Peterson, there is a solid lead on Elliot."81Please respect copyright.PENANAyVvrbBXfQe

Levi is lying on a table at a booth inside the gas station, backpack beside him, watching the fan above him circulate when he hears footsteps on the tile floor.81Please respect copyright.PENANA2kTSIZecaN
81Please respect copyright.PENANANXyALH6WG7
"Levi Preston?"81Please respect copyright.PENANAMoVN18RLja
81Please respect copyright.PENANA2IszTFYmDs
He looks up to see standing at the head of the table is a group of people. An older man with grey hair and a beard, a female with short blonde hair, another girl with short brown hair, a guy with sleaked back brown hair on the light brown caramel color spectrumn and Vincent. 81Please respect copyright.PENANAa9xvnSfbAI
81Please respect copyright.PENANAYtR63oGCKF
"Do you have I.D to confirm your identity?" The older grey haired man asks. Levi shakes his head, saying nothing. 81Please respect copyright.PENANA9LVnOJE1e2
81Please respect copyright.PENANAMKL77SnkHZ
"Can you get up off the table, please?"81Please respect copyright.PENANAMisKTts8mS
81Please respect copyright.PENANAXjqaJKrTAU
Levi sits up and Vincent helps him down, he weights practically nothing, skinny while Vicent is taller than he remembers and beefed up. 81Please respect copyright.PENANA1Q194UGDVw
81Please respect copyright.PENANABYSgyK4Ap0
"It's you, bud." Vincent finally speaks. 81Please respect copyright.PENANAuRWSEbVaWR
81Please respect copyright.PENANAqyseIzcYDm
"My understanding is you're a former friend and colleague of Vincent here. Why are you here and where is Elliot Coleman?" The grey haired man demands.81Please respect copyright.PENANAvxqmYTFOEP
81Please respect copyright.PENANAMrC66uFDct
"That's my... boss. Genereal Peterson." Vincent whispers and then Levi realizes, everyone is wearing camo, they're military.81Please respect copyright.PENANAyKoL3PulpM
81Please respect copyright.PENANAcRbbhzrkXy
"It's complicated."81Please respect copyright.PENANA1RtHb87RqZ

81Please respect copyright.PENANAtYQz3MCHae
"Fine, have it your way." General Peterson snaps, pulling out handcuffs. "Wait, wait, wait!" Vincent begs, Levi on the brink of tears. 81Please respect copyright.PENANACeSH5UF70M
81Please respect copyright.PENANA0Tenq0YKFt
He places his hands on Levi's shoulders. "Yes or no. We're you kidnapped off the street by a human trafficking company called RING. The employees would have worn blue and had rings that we're a snake eating it's own tail."81Please respect copyright.PENANAMUkInD6Pnn

81Please respect copyright.PENANASi2x5SBd0j
They sent me back upstairs, the supervisor with blonde hair, she told me next week, Wednesday. I came back up, I don't know why. 81Please respect copyright.PENANAk8mFwTvLlC
81Please respect copyright.PENANA0ka8UspYX9
I was going to beg them not to send me down there again, but I didn't get around to grovelling. I knew some dirt where someone was hiding my food, I was going to report that if it helped in not having to go back downstairs-"81Please respect copyright.PENANAk5zqWA8UEO
81Please respect copyright.PENANAgH2Vdxgqee
General Peterson cuts him off, holding out a photo from the police department. "Is this the Supervisor?"81Please respect copyright.PENANApEZmTpSpl9
