He is on the edge with what's happening. 

Tonight, they heard back from Jake and how he is now with Sari. They didn't waste time in taking actions. He is with a different group of police to meet Jake and Sari, while Shane and Dash are also with another group of police officers, out to rescue the twins. 

He's getting agitated by the minute. They were sitting in a car not too far away from where the distillery is. In a few minutes, they should be hearing from Jake and if they are able to get out of the place. 

They are in there to assist as the Police officers hold a raid against the distillery. 

After connecting with police officers, they found out that Elias does have a lot of dirty things in his sleeve. 

Human trafficking. One of his pet peeves. He's heard of these things happening in the country but he didn't realize that he'd an actual encounter of someone who actually heads this kind of operation. 

The missing persons, they now seemed to made sense. 

It's fifteen minutes before midnight the entire place turned all of its lights off. 

Ang tanging naiwang nakabukas ay ang liwanag mula sa poste kung nasaan ang guard's house. 

Darkness will always have it's chilling feeling. It's always as if, something in the middle of all of it is set to happen. 

The darkness holds its own kind of tension, a foreboding feeling that something significant is about to transpire. In the quiet before the storm, he braces himself for the inevitable confrontation with Elias and the unknown challenges that lie within the pitch-black distillery. The car becomes a cocoon of nerves, each occupant silently preparing for the pivotal moments that will unfold as the clock strikes midnight.

Suddenly, a loud sound broke the silence. 

Then, the entire distillery started to light up so fast. 

A fire started to break out. 

It was as if a huge comet has decided to fall on the once pitch dark space and just ate up everything it could consume. 

The sudden loud sound shatters the tense silence, jolting everyone in the car. As if in response to an unseen signal, the entire distillery erupts in a blaze of light. The once-pitch-dark space transforms into a chaotic display of flames, consuming everything in its path.

The fire spreads rapidly, its voracious appetite consuming the shadows that once concealed the illicit activities within the distillery. The unexpected turn of events adds a layer of chaos to an already tense situation. Panic and urgency grip the occupants of the car as they watch the fiery spectacle unfold.

The glow from the flames casts an eerie and surreal glow on the surroundings. 

In the midst of the chaos, he exchanges worried glances with his companions. The unexpected fire threatens to alter the carefully laid plans, casting uncertainty over the fate of Jake, Sari, and the twins. The car, once a cocoon of nerves, now feels like a fragile shelter amidst the turmoil.

His phone rang and Jake's voice crackles over the line.

"Austin, it's me."

"Jake, what's going on?"

"Sari, I lost her."

"Get out of there Jake."

"I am safe, but Sari, I don't know where she is. All I know is that we were getting to sleep and the next thing I knew, she's gone. She's gone Austin."

Austin's heart pounds in his chest as Jake's words cut through the chaos of the blazing distillery. He started running towards the entrance of the distillery. The flames casting a hellish glow on the scene made him even more scared.
