Beyond the North

Surprise

The snowstorm arrived. All the doors were locked, and all the windows closed, except one; Rejto and Tel, upon hearing the sounds of people invading the building, rushed to the top. In the distance, at the base of zone 2, the train was getting ready to depart; however, on this day, upon receiving the detective's communication, the base reinforced security, but either way, they couldn't delay the train's departure.

— "Damn, who found out!?" Rejto thought anxiously, but then remembered: "That detective...! but how!?"

Further below, they could hear Rejto's apartment being broken into, and they ran from room to room.

— "Sir!" One of the soldiers said; "They're not here, and it seems like some things have been forcibly moved!"

— "They've already left... Go to the top of the building, alert the base!" The soldiers began searching, but soon, he thought to himself: "Interesting... I want to see how they plan to escape... will it be like the others?"

On the rooftop; the two of them arrived, the wind was already strong, and the fog obscured their vision, it was hard to see beyond that building. But there, in that building, they saw someone, sitting in one of the corners, the girl with black hair, and they exchanged glances for a few seconds.

— "Cynna" Rejto said intrigued.

— "It's a crazy plan you've made."

The young Asian smiled, but upon hearing footsteps, they quickly became serious again.

— "Let's go!"

A memory then flashed back for Cynna, days before, when they met again after a long time...

...

— "Seomi is a building that receives complaints from many people, and that's because its architecture was hastily made, besides being a place that almost passes by the train, and we will use the pipes and windows to descend to a certain point..."

...

Returning to reality, they arrived more or less at the height of the train line, Rejto took a rope with a hook from his backpack, but Cynna, noticing her friend's unease, took the rope from his hand, which startled him, but soon, steadying herself better between the window, she managed to throw the rope, and it managed to hook onto the train line. Suddenly, they heard noises of people walking on the rooftop, so Cynna quickly tied the rope to one of the pipes, and tied the knot as tightly as she could, Tel then tested it by putting his weight on the rope, and it held.

— "HERE!!!" The detective shouted; "THEY'RE TRYING TO REACH THE TRAIN LINE!!!"

— "Huh!? Are they stupid!? they're going to be torn apart by the train!"

— "No... THEY'RE GOING UNDER, ON THE BEAMS!"

The soldiers then became alarmed and quickly ran to the edge of the building, where Rejto was already passing by the rope.

Upon noticing the guards, Rejto accelerated, but then his hand slipped from the rope, his heart pounded hard, he looked down, and couldn't see the ground because of the fog, he began to panic, but his consciousness was awakened by the sound of a gunshot coming from the rooftop.

— "QUICK!!!" Tel also exclaimed in desperation.

Rejto then calmed down, but soon, they noticed that someone had tried to open the window of the apartment, the young man hurried even more, but by making so many movements, the pipe cracked, again his hand slipped, and this time he almost fell, his friends also panicked, but Rejto continued on, the soldiers then began to shoot, but because of the strong wind, they could barely see, and the bullets also veered a little.
