254Please respect copyright.PENANAqK8gUBIcYf
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. 254Please respect copyright.PENANApkIeBlULW2
254Please respect copyright.PENANAz8YmEBthp6
General Peterson followed by Clara. They bring over a chair from the corner of the room, inching closer to Bonnie. 254Please respect copyright.PENANASkn8V3YTZv

"They? RING?"254Please respect copyright.PENANAQk0W2gdIuN

"No! Not RING! They're not the only ones out there!" She yells, coughing from the pain of the tube down her throat.254Please respect copyright.PENANAU10hQdREUW

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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAoqDaf4Fft9
254Please respect copyright.PENANAXOZ8KPHolB

General Peterson dragging a protesting Clara out the room.254Please respect copyright.PENANAwmsfxLYR2H
254Please respect copyright.PENANAsxrDkeupsR
"Don't hurt her!" Yells Bobby outside who Vincent is walking through the corridors. He sees General Peterson scolding Clara.254Please respect copyright.PENANABnO0tNbHxP
254Please respect copyright.PENANAM15y6KBVE3
"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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAB0orGoRLOT
254Please respect copyright.PENANAea03Y2NFVh
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAcwG2sPi5Cf
254Please respect copyright.PENANArQureHkeZU
She immediatly gives Clara a hug. "It's okay, I'm right here. Things can get intense alot... I'm Allie."254Please respect copyright.PENANAB7rzrKfysd
254Please respect copyright.PENANAtdKEOYqkYn
"Clara."254Please respect copyright.PENANApAFxIAFX2g

254Please respect copyright.PENANAAcaBbFbgU8
"U.S Military."254Please respect copyright.PENANAEYgfhwv1SD
254Please respect copyright.PENANAHc9pVkfJhp
"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. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAlbN7F6yXZL
254Please respect copyright.PENANAU4aMYV2qC8

"Kiera, you need to go back to your room, okay? Everything is a little chaotic right now."254Please respect copyright.PENANAUwGKnzg8cN
254Please respect copyright.PENANAs7w1UIAt1Y
"Then why you'd bring me?!"254Please respect copyright.PENANAAJXS19lljm
254Please respect copyright.PENANABTPkGEIlEJ
"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."254Please respect copyright.PENANArkxMiJO7Pj
254Please respect copyright.PENANAvyzdffgY1Z
"Kiera Bailey. Return to your room, that's an order. Maxis will be back soon." General Peterson speaks up.254Please respect copyright.PENANA5x1N6JAlPf
254Please respect copyright.PENANAOW9E849LCU
"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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAxNz1CjqRJl
254Please respect copyright.PENANAckwt53k3ls
Clara takes a step forward holding her hand out to Kiera. Kiera reaches forward and they walk off together.254Please respect copyright.PENANASwSNEllsHY
254Please respect copyright.PENANA8ow5FEpUjx
"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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAoOCb1ZaOgg
254Please respect copyright.PENANAPM42ZA6Z1E
"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."254Please respect copyright.PENANAlfSjcrRsRM
254Please respect copyright.PENANATqvQ32Doeq

"Woah." Elliot says looking up at their surroundings as Nadine pushes open the door. "This is yours?!"254Please respect copyright.PENANAD9dQpgc5RB
254Please respect copyright.PENANAmr4y7p52Be
"It is, a safe house of mine. I rarely use it." Kaylee responds. It's a two story holiday villa overlooking the beach.254Please respect copyright.PENANAOgflFtQuPD
254Please respect copyright.PENANAa5OJi4jtyX
"Just don't touch any big bright red buttons on remotes."254Please respect copyright.PENANARwjGWVVcBa
254Please respect copyright.PENANAwN8LpaIOZV
"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.254Please respect copyright.PENANACLgVrjtbJN
254Please respect copyright.PENANApdDaIBdaLO
"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."254Please respect copyright.PENANA1veNtTooar
254Please respect copyright.PENANALbuhgDPSH4
"I... I actually kinda miss my older sister right now. But boy, would she have some choice words for me..." Nadine trails off.254Please respect copyright.PENANA2mkprnd9KT
254Please respect copyright.PENANABDNlP6M9YG
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAWU8mlooB0m
254Please respect copyright.PENANAWZ3oBnx748
He takes a deep breath in and heads for the bed, sitting down, looking at his hands.254Please respect copyright.PENANAQG7dXHz0Fr
254Please respect copyright.PENANAgSXcfD5zI6
They aren't physically blood stained, but he just took a life. He ran over one of his own. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAytL5ynKTn2
254Please respect copyright.PENANAlHOtzBg21f
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. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAKTEI42Hnmf
254Please respect copyright.PENANAhiMWgFtPJq
He doesn't see any roses of any color. Maybe his offically overcome it after bouncing around time?254Please respect copyright.PENANAiXjVPA70gG
254Please respect copyright.PENANAgpPrGyEUNk
"Are you okay?" Says a small voice. "Sorry, I should have knocked!"254Please respect copyright.PENANAZG1YswWfmC
254Please respect copyright.PENANAIaz28y2A6y
It's Levi. "Levi-"254Please respect copyright.PENANAq9ax451EX2
254Please respect copyright.PENANAEJN3Ge4Ksi
Levi looks anxious. "Levi, we're not going to hurt you. RING has fallen. You're free to leave if you want to go."254Please respect copyright.PENANAnhmwjKsM8d
254Please respect copyright.PENANAENIdPENeEz
"Where would I go? This is... Nadine said it's Canada."254Please respect copyright.PENANAOXyWajJsJu
254Please respect copyright.PENANAoOYyvD2EsP
"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..."254Please respect copyright.PENANA5JYOOb69a1
254Please respect copyright.PENANA8ghpkstGy8
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...254Please respect copyright.PENANA6PpnxLUeeD
254Please respect copyright.PENANAcZFkBuU9Ft
"Levi." He says taking both his hands. Levi's now on the verge of tears. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5ZcLCnZX6
254Please respect copyright.PENANA56Q0e83v0H
"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?"254Please respect copyright.PENANAJaLhQgwkWP
254Please respect copyright.PENANA30Updvasy2
He nods tearfully.254Please respect copyright.PENANADEoFSHEfiQ

254Please respect copyright.PENANAAsMap8EIMH
"Can you stand outside the room?"254Please respect copyright.PENANAjSRoEiDJua
254Please respect copyright.PENANAwFuyoz75GK
"Sure, bud!"254Please respect copyright.PENANAupglRMLDke
254Please respect copyright.PENANABAGcRsmAUI
And he follows Levi who's clinging to him and is stuck standing outside Levi's room. 254Please respect copyright.PENANApwkrbELRmo
254Please respect copyright.PENANAN78tYXDp5h
Nadine's showering, and Kaylee hasn't come out of her room. The door is locked. Is she thinking? Decompressing?254Please respect copyright.PENANAVAN0h9l39W

254Please respect copyright.PENANAijAShaSvUS
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. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAbbwNxFK8PV
254Please respect copyright.PENANA8MD5GTqLN1
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. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAAcJOQ2zGZI
254Please respect copyright.PENANAUMeKKVhYPL
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANACQCuyRpjRS
254Please respect copyright.PENANA51N5AopuZk
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?254Please respect copyright.PENANAixEcEmKEdF
254Please respect copyright.PENANA9BoooZPzwm
She eventually takes a seat on a plastic bench, shoulders slumped over again.254Please respect copyright.PENANALRcYVqxxKa
254Please respect copyright.PENANAyq98xMvcnP
"Hello there again."254Please respect copyright.PENANABN5dtrTBSE
254Please respect copyright.PENANA5trxGMa1mQ
It's Clara and she takes a seat beside Kiera. "Can't sleep?"254Please respect copyright.PENANAbYFsNiK1iQ
254Please respect copyright.PENANANyN4uOTxTu
Kiera shakes her head. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAI21Kh9i89I
254Please respect copyright.PENANAVZvi9emWUc
"Neither can I."254Please respect copyright.PENANAowy4VPlRxn
254Please respect copyright.PENANAnLjFhxcPcj
Kiera gives her a look. 254Please respect copyright.PENANACJHlXOsxId
254Please respect copyright.PENANAbnql1V6TOz
"Uh, yeah, um, Bobby is actually my fiance. Well, ex. I can't marry him after everything that has happened..."254Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZwM4Gs04d
254Please respect copyright.PENANAkSnatHXQFH
"......"254Please respect copyright.PENANANAO2p0ovu7
254Please respect copyright.PENANA6pYumhkwYB
"Kiera. When RING held your prisoner. What was Bobby like? How did he treat you?"254Please respect copyright.PENANAKC2WxoVn2W
254Please respect copyright.PENANA1bySq8NoIg
"I could tell you how Nadine May treated me, Bonnie too. I don't think Bobby worked there when I was there."254Please respect copyright.PENANAwXewN23JeS
254Please respect copyright.PENANAIhM6ndK5rH
"Really?"254Please respect copyright.PENANAJrtvtA2D1Y
254Please respect copyright.PENANAuMJXSonNHy
"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. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAAAGVGSLrvz
254Please respect copyright.PENANAEQE41cD8YS
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANARJ63JMmvCt
254Please respect copyright.PENANA1Gs15mPvW8
My life isn't mine anymore." 254Please respect copyright.PENANAssz9VpWCsU
254Please respect copyright.PENANA8blhDzn9np
And she bends over crying. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAtrUNg3ZAUc
254Please respect copyright.PENANABThWg4BjsG
"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-"254Please respect copyright.PENANAbZNUGNQW8R
254Please respect copyright.PENANAggF7K7MZsx
"At the momemt, I just want to go back to the U.S. Did you know I had a younger brother?254Please respect copyright.PENANAs7ufvfEcqp
254Please respect copyright.PENANAPIrQ3oPqlz
Turns out I do."254Please respect copyright.PENANA2eaLKQh46P

"Do you want to see him?"254Please respect copyright.PENANATyg0nE6Jhd
254Please respect copyright.PENANAoQBiqL1s4T
"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."254Please respect copyright.PENANASPzRpwCvAy
254Please respect copyright.PENANABSfGva1hDE
"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."254Please respect copyright.PENANAfQ9IvoZCH2
254Please respect copyright.PENANAmQjQ3u68iB
"I don't know."254Please respect copyright.PENANAZhJwgrIYRD
254Please respect copyright.PENANAAePiRTWfz8
"There you are, Kiera!"254Please respect copyright.PENANAYYupuOb4VY
254Please respect copyright.PENANAT8zqmlIM2b
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANASrxEbLeGs2
254Please respect copyright.PENANAfZPa9cA2dr
"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."254Please respect copyright.PENANAWV2KLvppFO
254Please respect copyright.PENANAOw6h8AYXk2
"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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAh5qhLaKpzM

He wakes up, Nadine in his face, awake. He sits up. "Yeah?"254Please respect copyright.PENANAVL9uAwkVGB
254Please respect copyright.PENANAopZQSrs5uK
She is sitting up in bed. He sits up, looking at the clock on the wall. 1 a.m254Please respect copyright.PENANAEehhY5bKOH
254Please respect copyright.PENANANMFg2kATEg
"Can't sleep?" He asks.254Please respect copyright.PENANA4aaf74KV9n

"Please promise you won't!" He begs, taking her hands in his and lowers his head into her chest, tears streaming down his face. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAUXmW9JJsyq
254Please respect copyright.PENANAmYy9ch4JRW
He may not be able to be with her, but it won't stop him loving her. His feelings are real. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAo2ZIFJTJTr
254Please respect copyright.PENANAjLoeL0xFzO

254Please respect copyright.PENANADCdnZpwFQ6

254Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4LGB4vQm1
"What did she tell you?"254Please respect copyright.PENANA8HF70EfxhL
254Please respect copyright.PENANAuOrYxpF0Cm
"God, Angels and fallen angels, demons exist." She laughs a little, but it's a more nervous one. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAvzQOhe8EU9
254Please respect copyright.PENANAIFbjdBnCij
"Do you believe her?"254Please respect copyright.PENANAC5da5XsRVa

254Please respect copyright.PENANAk8z3dGjsaM
"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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAM4ZM2gY5lr
254Please respect copyright.PENANANRxjZbdDzp
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. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAsiSCVjfsRG
254Please respect copyright.PENANAaIQiYM4uu6
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."254Please respect copyright.PENANANmSNqkDGKs
254Please respect copyright.PENANAsyaaFshsPI
"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."254Please respect copyright.PENANAmbJkLJxI60
254Please respect copyright.PENANAxz82QGMXpg
She looks up at him. "What?"254Please respect copyright.PENANAAnDanCkPzq
254Please respect copyright.PENANAtPjeBuqipP
"She's on the team I'm on."254Please respect copyright.PENANAyA5tEkULqT

254Please respect copyright.PENANAvtuSzKBlFc
"I'm sleep deprived, stressed, Elliot and don't know how to get out of this mess I'm in. Good luck to her for ending up there I guess. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAXMSaiYSl9t
254Please respect copyright.PENANAme6jsHULjv
Like I said, RING is no more now. I never wanted to hurt her or anyone anyway."254Please respect copyright.PENANA7o3KPhABea
254Please respect copyright.PENANAfIXkrZ61Lz
"What can I do to make it better for you?"254Please respect copyright.PENANApKLCByX8k4
254Please respect copyright.PENANA5RvrBzmzhg
"There's nothing."254Please respect copyright.PENANAijoonHWZI2
254Please respect copyright.PENANAJJWIBFGgtl
"How about I take you to see your parents?"254Please respect copyright.PENANA3HR4Xjy2b1
254Please respect copyright.PENANAiSNSVVopEE
"Goodnight, Elliot." And she lay's back down to sleep, back to him. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAoEYlkU6fYf
254Please respect copyright.PENANAXfjJuUUJlv
"Your sister."254Please respect copyright.PENANADW6ycTCrDE

"......"254Please respect copyright.PENANAkmAMutdz7Q
254Please respect copyright.PENANASw5N7skHVk
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. 254Please respect copyright.PENANABKEtAGQqHg
254Please respect copyright.PENANADFE3McV3Oj
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. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAo63aKy5qrO
254Please respect copyright.PENANAkBOlcO2iUU
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?254Please respect copyright.PENANA4n1AbxgiHf
254Please respect copyright.PENANA7opsZ1Fble
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANA29DqS36hHu
254Please respect copyright.PENANAWNwt4OgigQ
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. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAnMGug24FUQ
254Please respect copyright.PENANAo4XNmve4od
"Hello?" Says a sleepy sounding voice. 254Please respect copyright.PENANA4BygXjJKCo

Levi takes a deep breath in, struggling to find the words. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAPrB4csdVU0
254Please respect copyright.PENANAsa2fPWbnjf
"Hello?" The sleepy voice repeats.254Please respect copyright.PENANAGbFPbZHMNb
254Please respect copyright.PENANAL6EGHB90FQ
"V-Vincent..." Levi whispers. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAjrVgKM1fjA
254Please respect copyright.PENANAhiC0VhODMi
"Who's asking?" Vincent snaps back, now a little more away, his attention now captured.254Please respect copyright.PENANAPTCwTwVTwc

254Please respect copyright.PENANAVaLUts3D2z
Just drop it and RUN."254Please respect copyright.PENANAdPmX1kAnsI
254Please respect copyright.PENANAqwh7TyITw3
Vincent hears the phone drop and the sound of squelching snow. He climbs out of bed and is shaking Allie away.254Please respect copyright.PENANAidMp3x93W4
254Please respect copyright.PENANA7sB1QBDPIF
She sits up annoyed. "Get up, wake the others. I'm going to get General Peterson, there is a solid lead on Elliot."254Please respect copyright.PENANARXvydTG3zv

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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAO6EjyU8lfE
254Please respect copyright.PENANAQHRcOUsulp
"Levi Preston?"254Please respect copyright.PENANAKhUz4Gtk47
254Please respect copyright.PENANA4XkK4vv6J9
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. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAD5nKDgiPdF
254Please respect copyright.PENANAd99bxHBV9H
"Do you have I.D to confirm your identity?" The older grey haired man asks. Levi shakes his head, saying nothing. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAlXzrEer0CR
254Please respect copyright.PENANAUCwC6itx0r
"Can you get up off the table, please?"254Please respect copyright.PENANAiNEmLGi1vO
254Please respect copyright.PENANArX28l0bUN9
Levi sits up and Vincent helps him down, he weights practically nothing, skinny while Vicent is taller than he remembers and beefed up. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAtzQlnmyRPH
254Please respect copyright.PENANAjIWEvNtPk0
"It's you, bud." Vincent finally speaks. 254Please respect copyright.PENANA138F0SO86H
254Please respect copyright.PENANAV25sp7hzlz
"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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAkKBCyuidzX
254Please respect copyright.PENANAmpPlKHXKXC
"That's my... boss. Genereal Peterson." Vincent whispers and then Levi realizes, everyone is wearing camo, they're military.254Please respect copyright.PENANAm5adspQwJn

"It's complicated."254Please respect copyright.PENANABHunrVXGTJ

"What time is it?" Levi whispers.254Please respect copyright.PENANAgzl2skJVmd
254Please respect copyright.PENANAPRuK5LC3OD
"5 a.m." The caramel haired man speaks up, and the brown haired female starts to cling to him. He holds her close and the blonde female rubs the brunette's back.254Please respect copyright.PENANAMpNXaRnXei
254Please respect copyright.PENANA0Rt3MDwB2i
"Fine, have it your way." General Peterson snaps, pulling out handcuffs. "Wait, wait, wait!" Vincent begs, Levi on the brink of tears. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAeT3rfF122J
254Please respect copyright.PENANACUV8uP1D8H
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."254Please respect copyright.PENANAFtzKG7HijM

254Please respect copyright.PENANAG7rblmSAco
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. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAHJVQS1PC0t
254Please respect copyright.PENANA5D8WEJ9ShT
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-"254Please respect copyright.PENANAE9eqmXKRPC
254Please respect copyright.PENANA0gOXcOuvFa
General Peterson cuts him off, holding out a photo from the police department. "Is this the Supervisor?"254Please respect copyright.PENANArjaxuJtAfx
