Sia got to the scene late. She walked over to her colleagues, who were busy checking the victims and organizing the rescue.“Hey,” she said.“Hey,” he replied, glancing at her. “You’re late.”“Yeah… I can see that. This is so horrible. I can barely stop myself from throwing up,” Sia said, looking around at the devastation.“Yeah, better hold it together until the chief sees you,” her colleague said. Sia let out a heavy sigh.“Have they figured out what caused all this?” she asked.“Not yet. We’re still waiting on the reports. For now, we need to focus on the survivors. Almost everyone died, but a few made it. Though some lost an arm or a leg.”Sia’s face twisted in disgust as she scanned the area. Then she spotted Kendrick helping the paramedics. She squinted, making sure it was really him.“Oh… Mr. Hale. He’s here,” she muttered under her breath.Her colleague noticed where she was looking. “You know him?”“We’ve… interacted before,” she said. Her colleague just nodded.“Come on. We’

Bernard stood in the common room with the other inmates, watching the news on TV. His arms were folded, and his face showed no emotion.Suddenly, Thud!Someone hit him hard on the head. Bernard quickly turned around, shocked, and saw Warden Daniel standing behind him.“What was that for?” Bernard asked, staring straight at him.The other inmates started gathering around, curious about what was going on.“How dare you look at me like that?” Daniel snapped. “Lower your eyes when I’m talking to you!”Bernard didn’t move.“I don’t think you get to tell me what to do,” he said calmly.Before anyone could react, Daniel kicked him hard.Bernard fell to his knees.As he tried to get back up, Daniel signaled to the guards. They rushed forward and held Bernard down, pinning him to the ground.Daniel pulled out a whip.Then,Crack!He struck Bernard.Again and again.He kept going until he had given him thirty lashes.“This will teach you not to be disobedient,” Daniel said coldly. “You need to

Bryan and Melissa were sitting down, watching the news.“Victor is a real psycho,” Melissa said, shaking her head.Bryan nodded. “What do you expect? He’s Bernard Hale’s godson. That guy is dangerous.”“I wonder what he’s doing right now,” Melissa said, thinking out loud.Bryan looked at her.“Why do you even care? Just focus on what you’re supposed to do,” he said, then muttered something under his breath.Melissa turned sharply. “What did you say? Say it properly so I can hear you!”Before Bryan could reply, BANG!The door flew open as Clinton stormed in.“Jesus Christ!” Melissa said, holding her chest. “What was that for?”“Man, what’s wrong with you?” Bryan asked. “Are you on something?”Clinton didn’t answer immediately.“Isabella and Paul know each other,” he said.At first, they didn’t process it. They kept talking, confused, then suddenly stopped.“What?!” both of them shouted at the same time.“How is that even possible?” Bryan asked.“They met when she was in Switzerland,”

Sia stood outside the office, staring at the door. She could hear voices inside.They were talking about her.She took a deep breath and knocked.“Come in.”She opened the door and stepped inside.Her chief was there along with two senior officers.Their faces were serious.“Inspector Jenkins,” her chief said coldly. “Close the door.”She did.“Do you know why you’re here?” he asked.Sia swallowed. “Because of what happened at the scene, sir.”Her chief picked up a remote and turned on the TV.The same clip played again. Her firing the gun.Nothing else. It was just that.He paused it.“Care to explain this?” he asked.Sia frowned.“That’s not the full video, sir,” she said. “The reporters were crowding Mr. Hale. He couldn’t breathe. I warned them several times, but they refused to move. I had no choice.”One of the senior officers scoffed.“So your solution was to fire a weapon in public?”“It was a warning shot, sir,” she replied. “To control the situation.”“Control?” her chief sn

I was helping forensics figure out what happened. They found a bomb particle in their vehicles, Kendrick,” Paul said.Kendrick froze, then stood up sharply.“What are you saying?” he asked, alarmed.“Whoever planned this attack used vehicle bombs. They were set up to go off at a specific time,” Paul explained.“So… does that mean we can trace them?” Zara asked, her voice filled with hope.Paul shook his head.“Why are you shaking your head?” she pressed.“It’s not traceable. We even checked the CCTV cameras nearby. Whoever planted it found the loopholes and got in without being seen,” Paul said.Zara’s eyes widened.“Victor Kane… he’s good. Really good. How did he plan all this?”Just then, Jayson came running over.“Guys, it’s Victor Kane. He just called Sainz. I don’t know what he told her, but she looks… shocked,” he said.They all raced toward Sainz.Sainz had just finished a call from the hospital when her phone rang again. It was an unknown number. She hesitated, then picked it

The next morning, televisions across the city flickered to life as different news channels broke the latest updates.Anchor (Global News Network):“Good morning. We bring you a tragic update on yesterday’s explosion in the residential area. Authorities have confirmed that the incident was caused by a vehicle bomb.”Images of the destroyed van and the aftermath played on the screen.“Sadly, officials have now confirmed that all victims involved in the blast have died. Those who were rescued and rushed to the hospital did not survive their injuries.”Anchor (City Live News):“This is a heartbreaking development. Emergency responders worked through the night to save lives, but the injuries sustained were too severe. The explosion has now claimed every victim involved.”The screen showed paramedics carrying stretchers, their faces tired and heavy.“Authorities are calling this one of the most devastating incidents in recent times.”Reporter (live at the scene):“We are standing at the sit

Sainz was still on the ground, crying over her sister’s body, refusing to let go.“Cherry… please… don’t leave me…” she sobbed, her voice breaking.The paramedics stood nearby, unsure of what to do.Just then,“Wait! There’s another body!” one of the medics shouted from below the bridge.Everyone turned.The rescue team quickly moved again, pulling another body out of the water.They carried it up and laid it on a stretcher.The moment the cloth was pulled back, Sia froze.Her breath caught.Her legs gave out beneath her.“No…” she whispered.It was him. The man she had sent to spy on Clinton and Bryan.Now he is dead.Kendrick quickly reached out, holding her before she could fall completely.“Hey… hey, are you okay?” he asked, worried.He looked at the body, then back at her.“Do you know him?” he asked.Sia opened her mouth, but no words came out.“I… I…” she stammered.Her voice shook. She couldn’t say it. She couldn’t say that she was the reason he was here.The reason he was dea

The house was quiet. Too quiet. The kind of silence that felt heavy… like something was missing.Sainz sat in a corner of the living room, her knees pulled close to her chest. Her eyes were swollen from crying. She hadn’t said a word since they returned from the mortuary.She just stared into space.Zara looked at her, her heart aching.“She hasn’t spoken since we got back,” Zara whispered.Kendrick sighed, rubbing his face tiredly.“She’s not ready,” he said softly. “And we can’t force her.”A knock came at the door. Zara went to open it.A well-dressed man stood there, holding a file.“Good evening. I’m here about the funeral arrangements,” he said politely.Zara nodded slowly and stepped aside.“Please… come in.”The man walked in and sat down, opening his file.“My condolences,” he said gently. “I know this is a difficult time, but we need to discuss how you would like the burial to be handled.”Kendrick and Zara exchanged a look.Then Kendrick spoke.“We’ll handle it,” he said qu

Warden Daniel was pacing back and forth in his office, muttering under his breath.“That man… Bernard Hale… always thinking he’s the big shot. Always making me look weak. One of these days, I’ll break him,” he growled, clenching his fists. “He pisses me off so much…”He kicked a chair angrily and kept pacing, mumbling about ways to make Bernard learn some manners.Just then, his second-in-command walked in, looking concerned.“Sir… maybe it’s time to release him,” the man said cautiously.Daniel stopped pacing, staring at him. “Release him? Are you serious? That man hasn’t learned his lesson yet. He needs to stay longer so that I can teach him some respect.”The second-in-command sighed. “Sir… you don’t know yet, but… Bernard’s daughter… She's dead. He doesn’t know. We need to give him a chance to mourn, at least.”Daniel froze. His eyes widened, and his fists unclenched slowly. For a moment, the room went quiet except for his heavy breathing.“…What?” Daniel said finally, his voice

Victor sat in his office, the glow of the television flickering across his face. The news anchor’s voice carried through the room, reporting Cherry Hale’s death. His lips curved into a small, almost polite smile, but it never reached his eyes.He set down the remote, picked up his glass of wine, and raised it in a quiet toast. “It shouldn’t have come to this… but may your soul rest in peace,” he said softly, almost like he was speaking to an old acquaintance rather than the girl whose death he had orchestrated.He tilted the glass to his lips and drank slowly, savoring it as though it were some private ritual.From the corner of the room, his assistant watched, unease written all over his face. “I don’t understand how his brain works sometimes…,” he thought, looking down. “He’s just… an evil psycho.”Victor set the glass down, his expression calm, collected, and terrifying in its stillness. He turned toward his assistant.“What’s next on the agenda?” he asked, voice casual, like he
