15 December 2025.
Aston blood ran cold to see the lioness superior standing up without any effort, he could easily see the hole in her cloak of him shooting her.
"You think we are stupid. " The lioness superior mocks Aston. "We knew from the beginning that you are not part of us. Your voice was different, you were driving in a different car and do you think we are gonna ignore you after you told Wolf superior about yourself plus our two men got caught in the Pentagon because someone stole their car. "
The lioness superior move her cloak to reveal she is wearing a bullet proof jacket.
Aston froze his terror, his face soaked in sweat yet he didn't say anything, he looked down to see his leg shaking.
A grin formed behind the lioness superior masked.
"Capture him. "
Aston blinks out of his thoughts, when he looks forward he sees two masked figures coming towards him.
Aston ran, he ran as fast as he could, however he tripped down from a sand rock.
The masked figures capture him, dragging Aston to the lioness superior.
"How pitiful. " Lioness superior derides Aston. "Now you would have the same fate as your brother. "
"You bitch!! " Aston screams at her. "I will kill you—"
Before Aston could finish his sentence, his vision became blurry with something stinging in his neck, he fell down.
He became unconscious.

"Of course it's me and you. " Alice complained. "They should have killed you first, Noah, are you even listening?. "
Noah sat on the bed of a small motel room, in front a tv reset on a big cupboard, bathroom combined toilet in the right gate of the bed and the main entrance door in the left.
"Listen I don't want to be with you also but for now let's just… Just be cool, ok? "
Alice tried to calm down.
"Fine, whatever. " She approached the main gate. "I am going out for food. "
"Don't we have to be hidden? What if you got caught" Noah asked.
"Yeah I know however I am not as dumb as you, so bye. "
Noah lays in his ok. "Ok then bring me a cheeseburger, a soda and french fries, I will pay you back. "
"You should have to. "
By saying that, Alice left, leaving Noah all alone to do whatever he wanted, the catch is he doesn't have to get caught.
He grabs the remote, on the TV to watch the news.
The news intro opened dramatically like any other channel then the real news start, it has a man in his 40-50s anchoring with his partner younger than him, with the news logo behind them.
"Yesterday the President 's funeral, Daniel Tood was held. " They show some funeral clips.
"Vice president, AD VACANTI also took the oath of becoming the new president of the USA. "
Some photos of the oath ceremony were shown on the screen.
"However we still don't know who is the one behind it, the only thing we know is that the government of the USA is trying their best to find the one behind this attack, we do know that the wanted criminal Noah Williams . "
They show the photo of Noah with other masked figures in the Ellipse.
"Some people are really saying that the government is behind who did this attack, we all know which people they are.
After that, the young reporter spoke.
"These last months are really fascinating, the freedom tower attack, the Washington attack and now the drug use in the various big African countries such as Algeria, Mali, Libya drug usage has increased rapidly, even there politicians can be seen doing it. "
The CCTV footage is shown of an African politician doing drugs inside of his car.
"The shocking part is that Al Qaeda is the one behind this drug supplying. "
Noah silently watched the news, observing every single sentence carefully the news reporter reported.
All of a sudden his vision became blurry, his
mind became heavy making his leg difficult to stand.
"What the fuck. "
He rushed to the bathroom, when he came inside he vomited in the toilet violently. Noah tightly clenched the toilet seat, continuing to puke in it.
After some time he cleaned his mouth in the basin, looking in the mirror, breathing heavily as he muttered to himself.
"This again, the last time I vomited was when I was still inside the island, before the Washington attack. Why is it happening again? What is wrong with my body? "
Noah leaves the bathroom, he tiredly lays on his bed, he turns off the tv. Exhausted, he closed his eyes, feeling dizziness. He tried to fall asleep.
"Man this sucks, I am wanted by the whole world, part of this terrorist organization plus I am now sick. This all wouldn't have happened if I didn't see inside that stupid car. "
Lost in thought, Noah finally stretched before diving into his dream.

"Tell me where they are!! "
The general screams to the eight badly injured prisoners in front of him locked in chains, multiple bloody cuts can be seen in their body.
Six of them had bandages in their ankles.
They were the part of the Balance of the Red, two were the people caught in the Pentagon whose car got stolen by Aston with the remaining six in the Washington Monument shooted by Emma.
"I told them who you work for!!. Tell me why you killed our president!! Why do you need that blueprint!! " The general yells again with their full throat out.
No one said anything, they will never break their loyalty to the one who had given them a second chance.
"Ok then. " The general warned. "I will see how long your loyalty will stay, we will torture you till you know what's the deepest hell pain look like, you will beg for mercy but it return you will get more pain until one you open your damn mouth."
Still no one spoke a word.
The general stepped out of the room, not bothering , a grin forming in his face as he walked in the hallway heavily guarded by the soldiers and the camera.
