A Glass Cell and Iron Chains
"Wake up, Mr. Miller. The darkness is no longer your ally."The muffled yet incredibly clear voice pierced David Vexley's consciousness. He tried to move his body, but the cold, hard sensation of metal instantly stopped his intent. Both his wrists were handcuffed with thick steel chains permanently embedded into the concrete wall behind him. His paralyzed left arm ached from the forced position.David slowly opened his eyelids.AAARGH!A stifled scream escaped David's throat. He immediately squeezed his eyes shut incredibly tight. A blindingly bright white light stabbed directly into his retinas like thousands of syringes dipped in acid.The interrogation cell where he was confined had no concrete wall at the front. The wall was made of thick bulletproof glass. On the ceiling and floor of the cell, rows of high-intensity white LED lights were installed and turned on to maximum brightness. This room was specifically designed by someone who knew exac
Swallowed by Smoke
"Get down, now!" David shouted with a hoarse voice that drowned out the revving of the deadly barrels outside the window.A barrage of large-caliber bullets exploded, tearing through the night. The thick glass of the control room window shattered instantly, turning into thousands of sharp projectiles sweeping across the entire room. The whining sound of bullets destroying monitor panels, walls, and the linoleum floor was incredibly deafening. The hurricane wind from the helicopter rotors immediately rushed in, tossing everything inside.Mei Lin didn't waste a single millisecond. The warrior woman jumped forward, kicking a very heavy iron console desk hard until it overturned."Help me hold this, Bell!" Mei Lin shrieked.Isabella dragged her exhausted body, pressing her back against the iron plate of the desk. Both of them exerted all their strength to create a makeshift barricade for David, Elena, and Arthur who were huddled in the corner of the room. Liv
A Message from the Dead
"The signal is connected, Sir. You are broadcasting live across all regional and national networks," the technician said, his voice trembling with fear. Cold sweat dripped from his chin onto the main console keyboard, while his eyes darted to the sharp tip of Mei Lin's sword still resting near his neck.Millions of television screens in living rooms, noisy bars, and police station surveillance rooms suddenly cut off. Evening soap operas, sports matches, and talk shows vanished instantly. The screens turned to static for a moment, then displayed a face that made the entire country hold its breath in confusion.It was not the face of the cold-blooded monster or terrorist portrayed by the media for days. It was the face of a man completely broken by the harshness of reality.David Vexley's flannel shirt was soaked with blood continuously seeping from the gunshot wound in his left stomach. His face was covered in purple bruises, the corner of his lip was torn, and h
The Suicide Broadcast Mission
"Get back! I'm going to ram the gate!" Mei Lin shouted from behind the wheel of a rusted cargo van.The old diesel engine roared harshly after the warrior woman managed to hotwire it under the steering wheel. Thick black exhaust smoke billowed, filling the stuffy garage. David stepped out of the way, tossed his crowbar into the back, and pulled Elena and Arthur in through the open side door. Isabella followed with great difficulty, dragging her completely short-circuited bionic leg while cursing softly."Hold onto whatever you can!" David yelled, bracing his wife and son's bodies with his right arm.CRASH.The battered van surged forward, smashing the iron garage doors right off their hinges. The police cars blockading outside were forced to swerve to avoid the sudden collision. The pouring rainstorm was their best ally, obscuring the snipers' vision and muffling the warning shots fired into the air. Mei Lin yanked the steering wheel fiercely, tearing thr
Surgery in a Dusty Garage
"Take him to the iron door at the end of that alley, hurry," Mei Lin gave the command with a suppressed voice.Police sirens wailed increasingly madly on the main highway. Red and blue lights swept the brick walls of the narrow alley. Isabella supported David's right arm, while Elena propped up her husband's waist, ensuring David's hand kept pressing the gunshot wound that continued to spew fresh blood.Mei Lin darted ahead of them. She stood in front of a rusty iron door bearing the sign Joe's Auto Repair, an old building that appeared to have been closed for a long time. Without wasting time, the warrior woman raised her leg and landed a solid kick squarely on the chain padlock securing the sliding door.Crash. The padlock shattered into pieces. Mei Lin pushed the iron door upward, creating a gap just large enough for a human to enter."Get inside, now," Mei Lin ordered, looking back to make sure no police flashlight beams were pointed toward their alley.Elena and Isabella dragged
The King's First Gunshot Wound
DAVID! Elena's scream echoed through the dark, rain-soaked alley, her voice cracking right after the gunshot tore through the silence of the night.CRASH.The frosted glass of the pharmacy's back door shattered to pieces. Glass shards rained down onto the dirty puddles in the alley. From behind the ruined door, the figure of David Vexley stepped out with incredibly erratic steps. His legs staggered forward, his shoulder slamming hard against the steel doorframe, but his right hand tightly gripped a small brown paper bag.The man who had once stood as a god of death did not return fire. Inside, the amateur youth holding the makeshift revolver had fallen to his knees, crying in terror after pulling the trigger. David's fingers could actually have snapped the young man's neck in half a second. However, David chose to swallow his pain. He let the hot lead lodge into the left side of his stomach. He would not dirty his hands with the blood of a stupid civilian, not when his son's life was
