~Evermore~ (Twilight x Yor)

Chapter-27 ~ Breakout

The cell was dark, quiet and wet from tears. There were 15 minutes left before Twilight's official execution. Unlike his state before, he was no longer calm, composed or without regret. In fact, all he could feel in those moments was regret and only regret.

*Why... why did I have to go out of my protocols as a spy and do this... even if I did fall in love, I should've hided it... at least Yor and Anya would've been safe and secure that way. But, Yor is now jailed here with me and god knows what will happen to my daughter. If only there was a way I could communicate with WISE and declare Anya and Yor's safety as my final wish...... *

Loid wasn't the only one experiencing deep regret. In fact, Yor's regret was even deeper because she knew that her husband's death, her own imprisonment and the destruction of her daughter's life was due to her own indecisiveness and actions. She, too, was very helpless.

"Loid-san.", she whispered.

Loid completely ignored it and got up to wash his hands.

"Loid-san.", she spoke again

Loid closed the tap and then sat back on the bed. "Yes?", he replied with no interest.

"Before what happens to us, I want to apologise to you. I won't request for your acceptance but in these final minutes, I want to make things clear. I feel ashamed because of my poor decisions and it pains me so much.... so so much.... the results of the actions I've caused.... FOR GOD'S SAKE  YOU ARE DYING BECAUSE OF ME AND ANYA-SAN... I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO HER AND HOW IT WOULD CRUSH HER LITTLE HEART AND SOUL. The truth is, Loid-san, I am a very dumb woman and I openly acknowledge that. But this dumb woman... she LOVES YOU AND ALWAYS WILL."

Loid replied, "That all is fine... but why did you have to come here? Why couldn't you have just stayed home with Anya? The loss of 2 parents would cripple her."

"Because I goddamn love you and I had to take any chance I had to save you. And as for Anya, I already tried to take some measures to save her future... your friend Fiona, she is unconscious right now but soon she will wake up and exit the facility. I left a note in her coat regarding Anya and mentioned it as your and our final plea."

Loid replied, "Well, that gives me a slight sense of relief but it depends on the fact if Fiona will even be able to escape or not. But... you just gave me an idea... THANK YOU YOR. I might be able to save you and Anya by offering them additional intel. Yor, I am willing to forgive you if you promise to take care of Anya and yourself and live happily. And yeah... I love you too... very much."

Yor replied, "If we get out of here, I swear on you and Anya that we both will live a safe and happy life... but it will be so difficult... without you.. oh god." She started to tear up again.

Loid pulled her and gave her a hug, "Be strong, Yor. And uh... one more thing... don't fall in love with anyone else..."

Yor pinched him, "How dare you even think of that!? Regardless, I won't even talk with any other guy except Yuri."

There were a dozen guards securing the huge roof. All of those weren't ordinary guards either, they were members of the Ostanian Guard itself. Exactly in the middle of the roof, there were 5 more armed men standing shoulder to shoulder and in front of them, there was the director. The other members of the intelligence council were in the facility, however, watching through a helicopter hovering nearby. Twilight was standing in front of the director with this back facing him.

"So, Twilight, any last words?", said the director.

Twilight replied, "Yes, sir. I wanted to say something.... I never thought I would be saying this, but.... in exchange for removal of all charges against my wife, I will be willing to disclose sensitive WISE intel."

"Oh really? Didn't you say you were working for the National Unity Party itself?", he replied.

Twilight responded, "Sir, that doesn't change the fact that I am... or was an agent of WISE."

He chuckled, "Very well then, let me confirm with other council members."

The director took out a satellite phone from his pocket and started to make some calls. All of what he was saying couldn't be understood by Twilight because it was all code language which wasn't making any sense is the wordings were taken as it is.

Twilight started to sweat a lot... *Could this work...? I hope it does.. but I'm not able to fucking understand a word he is saying... where even are the other intel council members? Goddamnit... I just pray that this works... there is nothing else I can do. As regards for intel, I'll just give them outdated information. "

The director walked around Twilight and came directly face to face with him, "Hm... other council members are quite skeptic about this... but well, I'll tell you what... you give me that intel and I'll pull some strings."

Twilight replied, "How do I know that you're not lying?"

He answered, "Well... you do realise that Yuri doesn't know about her sister's involvement in this case... All that I need to do is call Yuri and tell him about it before it's too late."

Yor who was standing 10 metres in front of Loid was also praying for the success of their plan.

Before Twilight was about to answer, there was a sudden explosion. The chopper in which the Luther councillors were present was shot down and it crashed onto the roof. The impact created  an even bigger explosion. Through the clouds of fire and smoke, the sound of another chopper could be heard. Suddenly, it flied through the clouds and above Twilight. A ladder was thrown from the chopper.

A mysterious figure was sitting inside the passanger cabin, he waved to Yor and Twilight.

"Good evening, I am Friederich Wilhelm, a.k.a the shopkeeper and also, Assistant Director Black Buck. Please get on the chopper if you wish to be rescued."
