Dangerous connection (Freenbecky)

Chapter 03 : Dangerous Connection

As they rushed down the rain-slicked streets, Kade led the way, eyes scanning for any sign of trouble. Freen felt the weight of the world pressing down on him. The rain began to pour harder, each drop a reminder of the chaos that had erupted just hours before.

Suddenly, a tightness gripped Freen's chest. The panic threatened to rise, memories of past confrontations flooding his mind. He stumbled slightly, and Becky noticed immediately.

"Freen!" she called, concern etching her features.

Before he could respond, she was at his side, wrapping her arms around him. "Breathe, Freen. Just breathe," she whispered, her voice steady.

Feeling her warmth, he focused on her presence, trying to drown out the noise in his mind. "I'm okay," he managed to say, though it was a lie. With each breath she took, he tried to match it, letting her calmness anchor him.

Kade turned, his eyes sharp. "We need to keep moving. They could be close."

"I know," Freen replied, regaining some composure. He gently pulled away from Becky, grateful for her support. "Let's go."

They pressed on, making their way to Freen's safe house—a nondescript building on the outskirts of the city, hidden from prying eyes. As they approached, Kade glanced back, scanning the shadows.

Inside, the atmosphere shifted. The walls were lined with weapons and maps, remnants of Freen's life. It was a place that had once felt like a sanctuary but now seemed fraught with danger.

"Get comfortable," Freen said, trying to sound reassuring. "This is as safe as we can get right now."

Becky looked around, eyes wide as she took in the makeshift setup. "You really are part of something bigger than I imagined," she said softly.

Freen nodded, the weight of his choices hanging over him. "I didn't want you involved in any of this."

"You didn't have a choice," she replied, her determination shining through. "Neither did I."

Just then, Heng and Nam arrived, breathless but alert. "We managed to lose them for now," Heng said, eyes darting around. "But we need to stay vigilant."

Freen turned to Becky, who still looked shaken but resolute. "You should rest," he suggested. "It's been a long night."

"I can help," she insisted. "You're hurt, and we need to be ready."

Before Freen could argue, Kade spoke up. "She's right. We'll need all hands on deck."

The tension hung in the air as they worked together, checking supplies and fortifying their defenses. Freen found a sense of purpose amidst the chaos, focusing on the task at hand rather than the panic that had threatened to overtake him.

As they finished, Becky approached Freen again, her expression softening. "Are you sure you're okay?"

He managed a small smile, feeling a bond forming between them. "I will be. Thanks to you."

Suddenly, a loud crash echoed outside, making them all jump. Freen's heart raced as he motioned for everyone to be quiet. They strained to hear over the pounding rain, adrenaline surging through their veins.

"What was that?" Nam whispered, eyes wide.

"Stay here," Freen instructed, moving toward the window. Peering out, he saw shadows moving in the downpour—figures creeping closer.

"They found us," he said, his voice steady but urgent. "Get ready."

Becky stepped beside him, fear and resolve mixing in her eyes. "What do we do?"

Freen took a deep breath, feeling the adrenaline surge. "We fight. Together."
