Bonnie's lying in a hospital bed, secured to it and semi drugged out, a tube down her nose hooked up to a machine.73Please respect copyright.PENANAJRhrmUGEMf
73Please respect copyright.PENANAfAa8LXnHy5
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. 73Please respect copyright.PENANAoE5OacEwDP
73Please respect copyright.PENANA4cZ1ooOGWf
General Peterson followed by Clara. They bring over a chair from the corner of the room, inching closer to Bonnie. 73Please respect copyright.PENANArO08JZGUJu

"Okay, we'll talk then."73Please respect copyright.PENANAgtzmngt54m
73Please respect copyright.PENANAiQ0ssHqfhn
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.73Please respect copyright.PENANA2XeGyVCfTl

"Who are you, Bonnie? And where did you come from?"73Please respect copyright.PENANAEr7kKIijus
73Please respect copyright.PENANAIM9ITu4JPv

73Please respect copyright.PENANAFOjFpPCQTP
"They? RING?"73Please respect copyright.PENANAwrn1Qgp9JS
73Please respect copyright.PENANAj5WuYgqtLM
"No! Not RING! They're not the only ones out there!" She yells, coughing from the pain of the tube down her throat.73Please respect copyright.PENANAHqlEfVnRhf

73Please respect copyright.PENANA7SV058lPsC
"Yeah..."73Please respect copyright.PENANAUa4Hd5rE2M

73Please respect copyright.PENANAOPmqZ608C3
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.73Please respect copyright.PENANAKHk0uXZyk1
73Please respect copyright.PENANA7Dn6vsrgJO
"One moment, Bonnie."73Please respect copyright.PENANARIh0Hy6wUz
General Peterson dragging a protesting Clara out the room.73Please respect copyright.PENANAnY3ftQoj7l
73Please respect copyright.PENANAL8jb0f1LMm
"Don't hurt her!" Yells Bobby outside who Vincent is walking through the corridors. He sees General Peterson scolding Clara.73Please respect copyright.PENANAPpJrwaWIA1
73Please respect copyright.PENANAXP1Ag3pzu0
"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.73Please respect copyright.PENANArjzRHZUI7P
73Please respect copyright.PENANAJOEnKemftn
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.73Please respect copyright.PENANA8wvR9GCzk6
73Please respect copyright.PENANAEdYCDm404o
She immediatly gives Clara a hug. "It's okay, I'm right here. Things can get intense alot... I'm Allie."73Please respect copyright.PENANAn97zRPIuSZ
73Please respect copyright.PENANAo1ws6IkaRU
"Clara."73Please respect copyright.PENANAmVe3CINqDf

73Please respect copyright.PENANAn9mit9HhxE
"U.S Military."73Please respect copyright.PENANA830UF2n9sv
73Please respect copyright.PENANAwDGvubSURX
"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. 73Please respect copyright.PENANAXE1YbESasX
73Please respect copyright.PENANAi8P8ojTKka
"Oh, shit." Bobby says. 73Please respect copyright.PENANAtOKfphWquk

"Where's Maxis?"73Please respect copyright.PENANA6dtceHxw7u
73Please respect copyright.PENANAeOFBkU1yun
"Kiera, you need to go back to your room, okay? Everything is a little chaotic right now."73Please respect copyright.PENANAYsSJhhCwkI
73Please respect copyright.PENANAlzvwJSW7jj
"Then why you'd bring me?!"73Please respect copyright.PENANAObbJnTP02X
73Please respect copyright.PENANAM4zJh1eMlj
"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."73Please respect copyright.PENANASq8CvWfMSE
73Please respect copyright.PENANA36HvGgcZS2
"Kiera Bailey. Return to your room, that's an order. Maxis will be back soon." General Peterson speaks up.73Please respect copyright.PENANAtevFzQC19h
73Please respect copyright.PENANAOa6cLQnjWC
"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.73Please respect copyright.PENANAfw19CqOqT2
73Please respect copyright.PENANAuABvgW846d
Clara takes a step forward holding her hand out to Kiera. Kiera reaches forward and they walk off together.73Please respect copyright.PENANAduh5KoCqCL
73Please respect copyright.PENANAwwJvBk6SIJ
"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.73Please respect copyright.PENANA3yw2q3P36w
73Please respect copyright.PENANAD8VhsK6VXP
"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."73Please respect copyright.PENANAHqhLlKmrrM
73Please respect copyright.PENANA0ADtUuXRNl

"Woah." Elliot says looking up at their surroundings as Nadine pushes open the door. "This is yours?!"73Please respect copyright.PENANA3lfMHxHfQ0
73Please respect copyright.PENANAmR3XS6rbJd
"It is, a safe house of mine. I rarely use it." Kaylee responds. It's a two story holiday villa overlooking the beach.73Please respect copyright.PENANAcjFf16zEsz
73Please respect copyright.PENANAtWdBUPl278
"Just don't touch any big bright red buttons on remotes."73Please respect copyright.PENANASQq8haTLTq
73Please respect copyright.PENANArmUK4WmO4H
"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.73Please respect copyright.PENANAdXRbRU4deH
73Please respect copyright.PENANAdonXQQDv4z
"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."73Please respect copyright.PENANAG9AF7fJ0fU
73Please respect copyright.PENANAo4nWuJTPIT
"I... I actually kinda miss my older sister right now. But boy, would she have some choice words for me..." Nadine trails off.73Please respect copyright.PENANAShH2DnVhlE
73Please respect copyright.PENANACUcsKaIPJa
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.73Please respect copyright.PENANAE8jbDklQXg
73Please respect copyright.PENANAmCO4iBJdKY
He takes a deep breath in and heads for the bed, sitting down, looking at his hands.73Please respect copyright.PENANA5IoiikmI8b
73Please respect copyright.PENANAW1iu5chMeF
They aren't physically blood stained, but he just took a life. He ran over one of his own. 73Please respect copyright.PENANA5zq8sw1ogt
73Please respect copyright.PENANALg1cKArLLS
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. 73Please respect copyright.PENANALyWAB6Ajn0
73Please respect copyright.PENANACETx16Pe1T
He doesn't see any roses of any color. Maybe his offically overcome it after bouncing around time?73Please respect copyright.PENANABlWwlCmL4g
73Please respect copyright.PENANAzVEy8sG4yG
"Are you okay?" Says a small voice. "Sorry, I should have knocked!"73Please respect copyright.PENANAzFJAqGSS4P
73Please respect copyright.PENANA6PDw5P0M6A
It's Levi. "Levi-"73Please respect copyright.PENANAHmZakQw3Aj
73Please respect copyright.PENANAtZJcwjVdzt
Levi looks anxious. "Levi, we're not going to hurt you. RING has fallen. You're free to leave if you want to go."73Please respect copyright.PENANAJiwgf9HFtY
73Please respect copyright.PENANAOJpiuRAFJd
"Where would I go? This is... Nadine said it's Canada."73Please respect copyright.PENANA22Q1Vf0JZ1
73Please respect copyright.PENANAomPOw2Cds8
"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..."73Please respect copyright.PENANA1UJolb6Lpo
73Please respect copyright.PENANArilYPDVcIf
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...73Please respect copyright.PENANAuXa8IqMK51
73Please respect copyright.PENANAlhevGKV8rf
"Levi." He says taking both his hands. Levi's now on the verge of tears. 73Please respect copyright.PENANA9WHCPfuHxh
73Please respect copyright.PENANAFsNafV9lhD
"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?"73Please respect copyright.PENANANQiaucQrj3
73Please respect copyright.PENANAb1pEGQ4pEl
He nods tearfully.73Please respect copyright.PENANA0fePvyqfWE
73Please respect copyright.PENANAuLvRoetBNM
"Do you want to get some sleep? When was the last time you had a good nights rest?"73Please respect copyright.PENANAgcGc5sZXlC
73Please respect copyright.PENANAVJ2v3mjt5N
"....."73Please respect copyright.PENANAsRot3hQa7J

"Can you stand outside the room?"73Please respect copyright.PENANAMqQDSXgPMG
73Please respect copyright.PENANAsGivBxaODl
"Sure, bud!"73Please respect copyright.PENANAVbk3TYO4to
73Please respect copyright.PENANAR6clfODCxo
And he follows Levi who's clinging to him and is stuck standing outside Levi's room. 73Please respect copyright.PENANAW9keVKEqXp
73Please respect copyright.PENANAqDlNZnQVLD
Nadine's showering, and Kaylee hasn't come out of her room. The door is locked. Is she thinking? Decompressing?73Please respect copyright.PENANAWj3Bzy3mLm
73Please respect copyright.PENANAe3AxM7x4mj
---73Please respect copyright.PENANAODA51U7T1t
73Please respect copyright.PENANAtoH3axMdWu
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. 73Please respect copyright.PENANAOiGbnBuPWV
73Please respect copyright.PENANA67yQvzfNj1
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. 73Please respect copyright.PENANAH1seO85R4m
73Please respect copyright.PENANA07HlO302ki
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.73Please respect copyright.PENANA788WzNZvrM
73Please respect copyright.PENANALDRPA5j3Wk
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?73Please respect copyright.PENANAMVacdvQmPq
73Please respect copyright.PENANAu1ytvZyrTv
She eventually takes a seat on a plastic bench, shoulders slumped over again.73Please respect copyright.PENANAUQwdLFYEbj
73Please respect copyright.PENANAGetxi3WOVn
"Hello there again."73Please respect copyright.PENANAte3hFo9ZyK
73Please respect copyright.PENANAcctesxPdkf
It's Clara and she takes a seat beside Kiera. "Can't sleep?"73Please respect copyright.PENANAFstjEuBjUa
73Please respect copyright.PENANA46oNZ03zCX
Kiera shakes her head. 73Please respect copyright.PENANAw9c4EP32GU
73Please respect copyright.PENANAZQC1Eobbue
"Neither can I."73Please respect copyright.PENANAAQPaRPLJ7j
73Please respect copyright.PENANApRKhwkJ1Bx
Kiera gives her a look. 73Please respect copyright.PENANAbQDRImpZNk
73Please respect copyright.PENANAIT5PjmdrGB
"Uh, yeah, um, Bobby is actually my fiance. Well, ex. I can't marry him after everything that has happened..."73Please respect copyright.PENANAqjx13TNOHX
73Please respect copyright.PENANALDsCAwVqQL
"......"73Please respect copyright.PENANAyyMpxDvmL0
73Please respect copyright.PENANAJWbXnSMl8V
"Kiera. When RING held your prisoner. What was Bobby like? How did he treat you?"73Please respect copyright.PENANAV5QBw3y1o6
73Please respect copyright.PENANAbxj4jEBVgI
"I could tell you how Nadine May treated me, Bonnie too. I don't think Bobby worked there when I was there."73Please respect copyright.PENANAq2STyxQIOG
73Please respect copyright.PENANAmE0JZIUWmA
"Really?"73Please respect copyright.PENANAYYgFwyuFlM
73Please respect copyright.PENANAPHA2rG0Ij7
"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. 73Please respect copyright.PENANAK3hfCNKzT4
73Please respect copyright.PENANAKW7hWg481N
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.73Please respect copyright.PENANAuxWp0IyF0Z
73Please respect copyright.PENANAhAkOwiTXRm
My life isn't mine anymore." 73Please respect copyright.PENANAWqGiF39fdp
73Please respect copyright.PENANAVqxZFv3T0Y
And she bends over crying. 73Please respect copyright.PENANA0WAqHVCdue
73Please respect copyright.PENANAK0DQUAC4D0
"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-"73Please respect copyright.PENANASvMjUaLljc
73Please respect copyright.PENANAO029VQBP1x
"At the momemt, I just want to go back to the U.S. Did you know I had a younger brother?73Please respect copyright.PENANAj9ALiBcAtf
73Please respect copyright.PENANAMKf15s5PgA
Turns out I do."73Please respect copyright.PENANAAInAk4J1Se
73Please respect copyright.PENANA6ojwtdl2Vj
"Do you want to see him?"73Please respect copyright.PENANApQY7KhM5F4
73Please respect copyright.PENANAlB0LJKD3tM
"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."73Please respect copyright.PENANAb3sPMzKh5Y
73Please respect copyright.PENANAwHtuvm6qcw
"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."73Please respect copyright.PENANAyLUZcXwAuK
73Please respect copyright.PENANA9886anyI3v
"I don't know."73Please respect copyright.PENANArONStdPyZO
73Please respect copyright.PENANA3eAz4T8hpA
"There you are, Kiera!"73Please respect copyright.PENANAJsgw0E55xh
73Please respect copyright.PENANAM7AekUyzho
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.73Please respect copyright.PENANA3Jp0eBLikX
73Please respect copyright.PENANAKBN2LMsTLN
"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."73Please respect copyright.PENANA5NnBm7S3Mz
73Please respect copyright.PENANAK4Wwr2Eo89
"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.73Please respect copyright.PENANAZCDHgcNecI
73Please respect copyright.PENANAUcpzcEeopu
---73Please respect copyright.PENANApYWCYKlFwu
73Please respect copyright.PENANAnWmaIDN4lM
"Elliot."73Please respect copyright.PENANACBn8Qq8Mnm
73Please respect copyright.PENANAfNFp54L1HL
He wakes up, Nadine in his face, awake. He sits up. "Yeah?"73Please respect copyright.PENANAMIURdYNAF9
73Please respect copyright.PENANAqSIBUe10Ta
She is sitting up in bed. He sits up, looking at the clock on the wall. 1 a.m73Please respect copyright.PENANA1g92J1aM8H
73Please respect copyright.PENANAvEZ2rgAPnY
"Can't sleep?" He asks.73Please respect copyright.PENANAcnrNp8u10D
73Please respect copyright.PENANAsr07AKJeEk
"Yeah, I feel sick."73Please respect copyright.PENANAMxzTCi2bWg

"Me too, Nadine."73Please respect copyright.PENANAKPoz6ulgwc

73Please respect copyright.PENANAB7sEtyTQlW
"No?"73Please respect copyright.PENANArbXu4jQ8Wt
73Please respect copyright.PENANAZDaGctyIlz
"If RING ran the risk of being exposed, we we're supposed to kill ourselves rather than be taken alive."73Please respect copyright.PENANAyqdNyTuzWf
73Please respect copyright.PENANAjSrpwXyJoM
A shaky breath passes Elliot's lips. Last time, Nadine did try to take her life. 73Please respect copyright.PENANANJB8NGpshj
73Please respect copyright.PENANAMA952h00vk
"Please promise you won't!" He begs, taking her hands in his and lowers his head into her chest, tears streaming down his face. 73Please respect copyright.PENANAZPsBkkDm4v
73Please respect copyright.PENANASd0nivD0U0
He may not be able to be with her, but it won't stop him loving her. His feelings are real. 73Please respect copyright.PENANAApcWaCJiJz

73Please respect copyright.PENANAVyLfQkBvde
"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.73Please respect copyright.PENANAj8J6iVHYrZ
73Please respect copyright.PENANA01ZNPLErqz
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. 73Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZtVgDl0Ej
73Please respect copyright.PENANA4cLIuVnTFy
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."73Please respect copyright.PENANAc2g80ukLFR
73Please respect copyright.PENANAveSgWZsiDL
"Kiera is actually back home in the U.S. She travelled miles and ended up on our base a few miles out on some beach."73Please respect copyright.PENANAwu2uFWVuvx
73Please respect copyright.PENANA64hbToyRb1
She looks up at him. "What?"73Please respect copyright.PENANAehNH7H1e4W

73Please respect copyright.PENANAR4D5jvX5id
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. 73Please respect copyright.PENANAaDooUOnLEB
73Please respect copyright.PENANArn4yLVSlxf
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. 73Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZPOqPavRe
73Please respect copyright.PENANAOddSAyaesB
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?73Please respect copyright.PENANAwfmU4xceUt
73Please respect copyright.PENANADlOGQ7GSPP
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.73Please respect copyright.PENANAxwpe1ycvw1
73Please respect copyright.PENANAI8Nn00kF9U
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. 73Please respect copyright.PENANABJcno1XT76
73Please respect copyright.PENANAM5C1w5d1NT
"Hello?" Says a sleepy sounding voice. 73Please respect copyright.PENANApljbS9BYP8

"V-Vincent..." Levi whispers. 73Please respect copyright.PENANAS0dKzQlI5f
73Please respect copyright.PENANA2v3r57Zq6a
"Who's asking?" Vincent snaps back, now a little more away, his attention now captured.73Please respect copyright.PENANAdhncHZtKCD

Just drop it and RUN."73Please respect copyright.PENANAL89a6Bilae
73Please respect copyright.PENANASItrhWczHl
Vincent hears the phone drop and the sound of squelching snow. He climbs out of bed and is shaking Allie away.73Please respect copyright.PENANAd06zzXocE3
73Please respect copyright.PENANAXkfPsEaTm3
She sits up annoyed. "Get up, wake the others. I'm going to get General Peterson, there is a solid lead on Elliot."73Please respect copyright.PENANAWyDJ6fgVEf

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.73Please respect copyright.PENANAAc73eE7gIK
73Please respect copyright.PENANAVzgHi52RkO
"Levi Preston?"73Please respect copyright.PENANAAAp6VFzMrS
73Please respect copyright.PENANA5wRdkOwDVK
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. 73Please respect copyright.PENANAKPFOLj9mvf
73Please respect copyright.PENANAgTBV20co4p
"Do you have I.D to confirm your identity?" The older grey haired man asks. Levi shakes his head, saying nothing. 73Please respect copyright.PENANAodMTyPgnh8
73Please respect copyright.PENANArxyw0KkgUI
"Can you get up off the table, please?"73Please respect copyright.PENANA9YJsWWtYcP
73Please respect copyright.PENANAx9kEOvVvNb
Levi sits up and Vincent helps him down, he weights practically nothing, skinny while Vicent is taller than he remembers and beefed up. 73Please respect copyright.PENANA9I95AOgfam
73Please respect copyright.PENANAbgupKWvD02
"It's you, bud." Vincent finally speaks. 73Please respect copyright.PENANA5898d73GHx
73Please respect copyright.PENANAF8AtYR643J
"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.73Please respect copyright.PENANALdaXgR8oDJ
73Please respect copyright.PENANAhaU8DluL65
"That's my... boss. Genereal Peterson." Vincent whispers and then Levi realizes, everyone is wearing camo, they're military.73Please respect copyright.PENANAM9HQz6wvb9
73Please respect copyright.PENANAcYcPDTwIB3
"It's complicated."73Please respect copyright.PENANAAZRu91sZxb

73Please respect copyright.PENANAGgQ8786Ur7
"Fine, have it your way." General Peterson snaps, pulling out handcuffs. "Wait, wait, wait!" Vincent begs, Levi on the brink of tears. 73Please respect copyright.PENANAQIApC2rn9i
73Please respect copyright.PENANAAXFlk4aJQ4
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."73Please respect copyright.PENANAVdwQsrEtUC

73Please respect copyright.PENANAjVBhVAyuqr
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. 73Please respect copyright.PENANAqtSXeed1Z4
73Please respect copyright.PENANA0E8fhqQuHn
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-"73Please respect copyright.PENANAaTv4EQ5c0q
73Please respect copyright.PENANA7m93so7aHC
General Peterson cuts him off, holding out a photo from the police department. "Is this the Supervisor?"73Please respect copyright.PENANAR7FhVcHoNz
