Blair and Trestan arrived at the doctor's house and immediately went outside the car. They run towards the front door of Dr. De Vega's house.

"Dr. De Vega? Dr. De Vega!" Trestan was knocking at the doctor's house. It took ten minutes before the doctor opened the door.

"Trestan? Blair? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" The doctor seemed to just wake up from his sleep.

"We need to test on something doctor and---"

"W-What? Can't we do that later? It's past one in the morning." The doctor said while his eyes were half-closed.

"But doctor, this is very important and time is running. We will be too late if we---"

"What are you talking about, young man?"

"We will just explain it to you later, doctor. But first things first, we need to hurry." Blair said.

"Fine. Fine. Come in. I'll just change clothes and we will go to the secret laboratory." The doctor has no choice but to come with the two young people.

    “Let’s hurry.” Dylan pulled Ferran’s hand but Ferran held the child's hand instead. He stopped him. “Why? What’s wrong?”“Wear this.” He put a disposable face mask on Dylan.“Oh. Thank you.” Ferran smiled weakly and slightly tapped Dylan’s head.“Let’s—Sh*t.” He pulled the kid closer to him when a patient coughed so hard and his skin was full of wounds with a purple thing.“O-Officer, what’s with him?” Dylan asked, watching the man.“He’s infected.” Ferran lifted Dylan and ran before the infected could touch them. ‘Damn it! Damn it!’ He was running for their lives. They passed a lot of infected before they reached Cally’s private room. Alfarez was about to look outside because of screams from the people who were scared to be infected with the deadly virus, but Ferran pushed him inside and they locked the door.“What’s with the noise?” Alfarez asked.“They…” Ferran put down the kid who later ran toward Cally who is now conscious. “The virus. It’s… It’s spreading. Damn it! We need to

    An hour before the incident… “Good job, Julsen. We can handle this. You can leave now.” The Boss tapped his shoulder after they arrived at the abandoned house. “Yes, sir.” “Let’s go, men.” They went up to find the bamboo house. “The surroundings were clear, Boss. It’s positive, there was a bamboo house near the area.” The man knocked on the bamboo door. Tata Carpio opened the door and a dagger hit the man on his forehead. The other men pointed their guns at Tata Carpio and the other men went inside using the backdoor. They pointed a gun on Henry’s head who threw the dagger on one of the Boss’ pawns. The two, Henry and Tata Carpio, raised their hands to surrender. They don’t have any strength to fight these men surrounding them. “It’s been a while… Kuya.” The Boss smirked at Tata Carpio who was confused but made an expressionless face after he recognized his youngest sibling. “I searched for you everywhere and I couldn’t find you.” The Boss smirked and pointed his gun on his br

    “You’re here. It’s been a while honey.” Maria was about to kiss her husband but he slightly pushed her.“Is she awake?” Julsen asked pertaining to his child.“Don't you miss me?” Dismay was written on Maria’s eyes when her husband didn’t give her at least a glance.“Why would I?” His brows formed into and finally looked at her but with sharp eyes. “I want to see her. Open the door.”Maria had bloodshot eyes. She was hurt by the treatment she was receiving from her husband. They are not like before.“Sweetie…” Julsen whispered and sat at the edge of her bed. “Hold on a little bit. Hm? Daddy would like to play with you again. We will play again after you regain your strength.” A tear fell but he immediately wiped it away.Maria was hopeful too that one day, her child will be as cheerful as before. People think that she just did everything horrible for herself but little did they know that she’s just doing everything to find a cure for her dying child. “How long will it be, Maria? It’s

    “Great job, Kiddo.” Dr. De Vega tapped Trestan’s shoulder after they successfully developed the cure. “I’m just your assistant, doctor.” “Let’s make this quick.”Trestan and Blair helped the doctor to put the cure in small vials where the vaccine can be safe and restored. They made a hundred cures and put the vials inside a waterproof aluminum that could protect it from breaking. Dr. De Vega sealed it.“Done.” The doctor declared.The two, Trestan and Blair, sighed in relief and smiled at each other. “Rest for a while, doctor.” Trestan saw him tired of everything that happened. The virus just spread early in the morning. His brother just died earlier without giving him a proper funeral. He’s too old to handle everything.“Ha…” The doctor heavily sighed and his eyes became teary. “If only I knew that he’s still alive. All those years…” The old doctor couldn’t hold his tears anymore. His shoulder shook as he cried in his hand. Trestan didn’t know what to do, couldn’t utter a word an

    “Oh my gosh!!” Blair covered her ears as they heard the explosion coming from the surface. It slightly shook the place because of its great impact. “Dr. De Vega!”Trestan put his hand on her mouth and strongly shook his head to stop her from running back to the laboratory. He then pulled her again because at any time, the enemies might track them as soon as they learned about the tunnel underneath.Rain was heavily pouring when they reached the exit. They unhesitatingly entered the dark and vast forest even though they already knew what danger was waiting for them.The ground became muddy and slippery that made it difficult for them to run faster. Trestan tightly held Blair’s hand while running for their lives because unfortunately, they encountered fake hunters on their way out. One of Blair’s feet slipped and she almost fell into the pit where the organization disposed of the dead organisms from their failed experiment.“Blair! Sh*t… Careful! Let’s go.” Trestan was tired but he just

    “Trestan!”The sound of the waves coming from the San Lorenzo sea and Trestan’s whimper were heard in the middle of the cold night. He was shot on his shoulder and it’s bleeding too much.“Trestan…” Blair was weeping while trying to assist Trestan. Her hands were full of his blood but she didn't mind.“Shh… Don’t cry. It’s… nothing.” He tried to lift his hand to wipe her tears but he couldn’t. The wound was too painful to bear.“Give me that young man!” The Chief was forcefully pulling the briefcase which contained the cure.“No!” Trestan tightly hugged the briefcase while Blair did her best to defend him. She kicked the Chief’s ass and gave him punches but still, it’s not enough. Blair even received a hard blow from the man that made her weak.“A-Ah!” Trestan cried out of pain when the CHief choked him to death.“T-Trestan…” Blair mumbled while watching her lover crying because of pain but she couldn’t do anything but to watch him suffer.

    “Danryll! We need to go. Something’s going on with the kids.” Zyrille uttered after she got a call from Dylan. “Danryll!”“What?” Danryll looked at her before he ended the call.“The kids… we need to go to them.”“Why?” He stood up and they were walking and exiting the wrecked laboratory after they put Dr. De Vega’s body in a safe space. Even if they wanted to, it is not the right time to mourn. There is a special mission they needed to accomplish.“Dylan called and… and he was crying. I don’t really understand what he was saying but all I understood was they were hiding from bad people.”“I thought they were safe where they were.”“I thought so too but it is not the case now.” Zyrille checked on Julianna who was sleeping peacefully and soundly inside the van. “We need to hurry or else, we might lose those innocent ones too.”Danryll sighed heavily before starting the engine.

    Heavy rain fell while Ferran was on his way to save Blair. He struggled a bit because he couldn’t clearly see the road. Ferran looked at his wristwatch before stepping on the gas to speed up.“Ugh!” He almost got into an accident if he hadn’t stepped on the break immediately. His chest tightened and his breathing became heavy. ‘Alfarez! Alfarez!’ Real Ferran’s voice echoed inside his head.His heart pounded harder than the first one, as if his consciousness would leave him. Regardless of the frigidness of the atmosphere due to the rain, his body was heating up and beads of sweat were forming on his forehead and neck. “H-Hah… Hah…” Ferran’s head dropped on the steering wheel and his sight became blurry.Darkness filled the surrounding and he woke up in a void.***“It’s been a while… Timotheus Alfarez.” The voice echoed everywhere.‘That voice… That voice!’ He opened his eyes but he saw nothing but darkness. ‘I’m here again… Does it mean…’ He held his head when he felt a sudden pain.

    March 16, 2022Wednesday 7 AMMonths had swiftly passed…“Where are you going, dad?”“I’ll just visit someone… it’s been a while.” He said before leaving their house. The sun rose already and the streets of San Lorenzo came back into life.With an open window, Timotheus felt the morning breeze. He was greeted by the neighborhood. On his way to his destination, he passed by a flower shop. “Good morning, officer! You’re at the right time. Our flowers were freshly delivered.”A white bouquet of gerbera flowers caught his attention. He immediately put it beside the passenger seat. He stared at the flowers for a second before starting the engine.It was a peaceful drive not until he noticed a commotion in the middle of the road.“Again?” He parked his car at the side of the road.“You f*cking j*rk! You’re the one who bumped into my car! Look!”“What? I’m just passing by and you’re—”“Excuse me? What is this all about?” Timotheus asked while checking the damages.“Who are you?” One of them

    “...Kuya.” Julsen slowly closed his eyes before his ghost left him.“J-Julsen… Hey, man. Wake up. Julsen!”The night became silent after that bloody encounter. A lot of bodies were lying on the ground… lifeless.Timotheus carefully let him go and looked at the blood in his hand. She clenched his fist and rushed to Danryll to give him a hard blow. Danryll didn’t bother to dodge his attack and just let him.“How could you?!”“Sir, stop it!” Xol went in between to stop Timotheus while Ferran, on the other hand, just watched them because the unusual feeling of pain was forming inside him again.“I will never regret it!”“How will you prove that he really killed the doctor? Huh? You don’t have—”“Of course… I have.” Danryll threw him his phone that was immediately caught by Timotheus. He watched the entire video and Julsen really killed Dr. De Vega inside the laboratory. He unconsciously dropped the phone astounded.“Y-You think you all s-succeed? Even if you revealed them to the whole wor

    The Chief just arrived at the place where the real Boss was living. Instead of welcoming him, everyone inside pointed their guns at him. “What the hell is happening?!” His eyes widened when he saw the real Boss furiously looking at him, as if he wanted to kill him from that very moment. “You son of a b*tch! How dare you destroy the laboratory without my consent?!” The real Boss held the collar of Chief’s clothes and tightened his grip. “Everything will not go according to plan if I don't do it, Boss.” Fear was visible to his eyes. The real Boss is the only one he afraids of. No one but him. “You killed Maria! And my granddaughter… my precious granddaughter!” He was shaking with anger and slowly choking the Chief. “I thought Cally’s your only g-granddaughter? Ugh! I just did it to reach our goal. To produce a cure—” He was cut off when he felt the need for air. “You thought… Hah! I don’t care about that damn goal! As long as my family’s not involved, you’re free to do anything but

    “As I’ve thought… Got it.”Czaquira ready her pen and paper while Blair was dictating the code they needed to decipher. The letter’s too tiny for them and Blair has 20/20 vision. She could easily read the characters unlike the others inside that special room.“R-O-M-12:12—12|13|14|15 II-C-O-R-4:10—31|32|33|34|35 J-O-H-N-3:16—17|18|19|20|214_2_3_5_5… That’s all.” Blair creased her forehead, not recognizing what the code was telling.Czaquira tried to type it all but it’s too long for a passcode. “Fourteen characters… We only need fourteen characters.” Czaquira uttered.“No… it’s nineteen, I guess?” Xol confusedly said.Minutes after minutes… an hour and ten minutes left. In the middle of the brainstorming on how to decipher the code, Timotheus' phone rang.“Aquiro,” Timotheus said, hoping for good news. “Really? Oh God… thank goodness.”“How’s the search, sir?” Xol asked, hoping for good news.“They found him and…” He looked at Blair who was about to cry. “He’s alive.”Blair’s kn

    “Trestan… He’s alive!” Aquiro wiped his tears and went beside Trestan’s bed.“It’s a miracle that he’s still alive after that fall.” The street sweeper spoke before he sipped his hot coffee.“You’re the one who helped him?” Aquiro asked.The man just nodded and put the empty cup on the table near him.“He needs a long rest. I should leave. Take care of him.”“May I know your name, mister?” Aquiro stopped him for a moment.“No need.” He tapped his shoulder before leaving.“Sh*t… so it’s true. He’s alive. Thank goodness.” Ziph sighed in relief when he saw Trestan lying on the bed unconscious.“Damn you, cous’. You scared us. We thought…”“Stop being a crybaby, Aquiro. Haha.” Beor teased him.“F*ck you.”They just laughed at Aquiro’s hilarious face. The laughter stopped when they heard Trestan speak.“Cally…” He mumbled. “Hey, Trestan! Do you hear me?
