Twisted Saga ReGenesis (Book 3 of 3)

Chapter 10 -Demise

As the sun dips behind the clouds, the sky sends the humidity higher in the early evening. Josh, Owen, and Kyle continue their way to the location selected by Sara.

Once they arrive at the exact point, they call back to confirm she still has them on GPS.

"Alright, Sara, we've arrived. You got us from here, right?" Josh questions with his heart rapidly races.

"Yeah, I gotcha. Just let me link up to your earpieces, and I'll be your guide through the sewers."

Both men take in a deep breath, but before they remove the manhole cover, Kyle has one more trick up his sleeve.

"Pop, Owen, wait a second. I have something you may need in the back. It's not much, but it's a grenade. Use them if you need to, and I'll be stuck here, I guess. I'll continue to try to call in favors to get back up as fast as possible."

"Backup is on the way. Director Cline already got a call into the Air National Guard from Dayton. They'll be there in time." Sara relays through the earpieces.

"We can't afford to wait. Let's get moving before we miss our chance." Josh tells Owen as they slowly remove the manhole cover and climb into the sewer.

"Good luck!" Kyle yells, placing the cover back over their heads.

When she realizes she's the only communication between all three of them, Sara's nerves tense up more.

"Hey wifey dear, relax, you can do this. I believe in you." Bryan comments and smirks while he sends another message over the phone.

They've arrived, entered the sewer system, be ready for them.

Robert is beyond delighted to know that things have progressed better than planned.

"Alright, our guests have arrived. Head back to the hotel to watch this in the Grande Theatre on the big screen. Techy geek boy, I need you in the announcer's booth place to handle tech support." He shouts, ordering everyone to take their place as he has more up his sleeve.

"Yes, sir, you all, let's move out!" His head thug calls out, waving everyone to head back.

None of them are aware that Linsey has watched from under the crumbling concrete bleachers the entire time, plotting a way to get the girls free.

She's had a change of heart after seeing her lover's real side, which has brought back memories of her days on the streets as a hooker addicted to heroin.

The girls begin to feel the effects of dehydration. Their lips have dried out, and their heads hang low as they breathe slow and deep. Listening to them breathe so hard, Robert knows he needs them alive and awake for his plan.

He heads over to retrieve the hose from the maintenance building. He strolls over to the concession stand, kicking in the door to take a plastic cup, and fills it with water gulping down the first cup for himself.

"Ah, that's more like it." He says to himself as the humidity continues to take a toll on his scarred body.

Back over to the girls, he kneels and, with one hand, lifts Brooklyn's head.

"Drink, my dear. You can't die yet." He reminds her as she slurps down half the cup.

"Good girl, now relax. I need those healthy lungs later." He kisses her on the cheek and repeats the same for Emily to become partially rehydrated.

"It's almost time, my source tells me, your daddy is almost here."

While things are nearly complete at the field, Sara's busy tracking systems and transfer manifests to try to get an idea of how crazy the prison city has become with the arrival of its newest and most innocent members.
