THIRD PERSON'S POV

"Hang in there," Ruine kept saying as he carried Louise to the car. She is loosing too much blood. "Don't f*cking leave me Louise!" he exclaimed as he puts her seatbelt, run to the driver side, and stepped on the gas.

"You'll be fine...you will. So, please...just...just hang in there." Louise looked at him with drowsy eyes and she tried to say something but she's too weak to do so. "Save it. Tell me later when you're all better." He drives past the speed limit yet the hospital was quite far from their location. Louise reached out her bloody hand to his arm as he drives with tears and sweat all over him. Ruine cried as he slowly stopped the car. "T-Tell...t-tell them... I'm...I'm s-sorry. Let me...pay....f-for...my sins," she said sobbing. She smiled at him before she finally left. He cried as he cupped her face and gently kisses her goodbye after which he gave her a tight hug, crying over her shoulders. For the short moment they've been together after they reunited, he thinks of how cruel the world is.

"RAIN!!!!"

"NO!!!!!!!!"

The three men rushed to them but they could only see a tiny speck from the two. As Rain's falling, tears finally left her eyes, looking at the people above. Getting too much stab, her grip finally loosen and her strength had left her before she could even get to speak, the bomb went off.

The loud sound rang in Rainer's head and had him on his knees. Pin, who is bathe in blood, was too shocked to utter a word after her name. He was staring at the cliff. While Ace took a step back bug lost his balance and fell to the ground. His strength left him as he tries to process what just happened. The sirens of the police came yet still it didn't bother them. They seem to not care of what comes next after what they've witnessed.

Rain's dead.

"No..." Ace said almost whispering. He couldn't take it. "No...Rain!!!!!" He started screaming and the police got to their position. Holding their firearms towards them. "Drop uour weapons!" shouted one of them. Ace was holding a cunai and Pin was holding a gun.

"RAINNNNN!!!!!"

THIRD PERSON'S POV

"You're awake."

He opened his eyes only to find out there was a perskn sitting next to him.  "Gwen?" he uttered.

"Well, Rhys Scott, get your ass up. You've been sleeping for five days already."

"How..."

"We hacked into the system and found were you were taken hostage, then we ransacked the place and saved you. Simple," she said quite unbothered while she finishes up wrapping his wound.

"What the hell happened?"

"To whom?"

He can't take it anymore. He pulled the IV and was about to get off bed when Gwen said, "she's dead." He turned pale and felt his heart stopped and his ear ringing. He kept telling himself that no way she'll end up like that. But seeing how Gwen looks, he's certain that it is no joke. Tears escaped his eyes, betrayed by his consciousness. "Let me see her..." he said between his sobs. He couldn't believe it nor tries to believe it. It was as though one of the moments in his life that looks like he will never get off the train.
