Alex and Thomas waited for the headlights of the van to fade into darkness until they sprinted out behind the building. Thomas looked up at the tall, deteriorating building.

"So this is where Philip has been staying." Thomas murmured. Alex sniffed, holding in tears.

"What...what has he gotten himself into, Thomas? I mean, come on! This...this is beyond words! He's 14! Not some, some FBI agent, I-I don't-" Thomas pulled the aching man into a hug.

"Hey, hey now. We are going to get our son back, okay? And everything will go back to normal." He pulled away at the sound of shouts. He turned back to Alex.

"Come on. We need to get inside. Are you okay?" Thomas whispered.

Alex scrubbed at his face before sighing and nodding.

"Let's go get our son."

And with that they rushed into the biggest mistake they've ever faced.

Anna breathed heavily as she held the broken cuffs in her hand. She turned the corner quickly and slammed her back against the cold wall. She had escaped her metal confinement, but now she had to find a way to get back to civilization, to the world. She heard voices and crammed deeper into the alley she was in.

"Where is she?! Where did she- God! How could you let her escape?!" One hit of a rifle butt to the head, and a thud of a body hitting the ground.

"Find her. We need to contain her Agno Phelebria before the device wears off."

Anna had heard enough. Or so she thought.

"Sir!" Footsteps and hurried breathing. "Sir, sir!"

"What is it, Sam?"

"The child, he's in the premesis."

"...Bring Philip and his pet to me now. They've outplayed us for long enough."

"And that's not it. The boy's parents."

Anna could have stopped the gasp that escaped her lips if she tried.

"They are here."

Anna ran as fast as her feet could take her, looking for Alex and Thomas. She could feel the fog in her brain itching and scratching, trying to control her. Trying to make her mad

"No, no no!" She groaned, pinching herself. She stopped when she heard other footsteps. 

"Anna?" 

She froze. Run. Run now.

"Anna."

Move your feet, do it.

"Oh my- Anna!"

A figure made it's way into the light.

And Anna's composure fell. Three things happened consecutively.

She ran into the arms of her brother. Three gunshots rang. And the sibling were separated once more. Because all good things come to an end. 

"I'll come back for you. But if they know you're here, they could get us all."

A numb girl nodded in response.

And they parted one more, secrets on their tongue and anticipation in their guts.
