When the Don of Mateo's gang got the news that one of his local boys spotted someone that looked like Ben, he didn't make any move until he got the news that José's car was found along with some other unrelated car in the middle of nowhere in the Sonora mountains. At this point, he informed Derrick and they got on standby.

Derrick would have moved immediately but Sonora wasn't a place you want to barge into just because you have the ability. There are some troubles one should try to do without, unless unavoidable in a foreign territory.

But immediately José's body was identified, Derrick jumped on his chopper with the four members of shadow.  Even though the location was under the radar, finding it through the satellite wasn't a big deal. In minutes, they were already in the territory. The chopper landed in a valley and the fully kitted, combat-ready, five men team, stealthy made their way to the red dot on their multipurpose wrist watches.

He is with us!"Lobo quickly reacted when Derrick's team readied their rifles to take Mateo down as the oblivious guy ran into the corridor on his way to the hiker's side of the vast hall. Mateo froze up on the spot. With three high caliber rifles pointed at him, he was trembling and suddenly felt like his bladder was full. "So none of you managed to get a single shot out. What if he was the enemy?!" Derrick sternly reproached his boys.Gulp!Mateo and Lobo swallowed."I already told you my boys are the only ones here."Lobo managed to stutter.But in response, Derrick simply stared at HD. "This way..." HD responded and led them to the hiker's side of the wall. With HD leading, Everybody started looking around.

    "Hey! " HD whispered gently to Ice  who had just opened his eyes for the first time. "I am sorry. I fucked up." Ice whispered with a wizzy voice. Blood spilled out of his mouth from the side and HD brought out a handkerchief to dab at his mouth."It's okay baby. It's okay. You need to preserve your strength. Stop talking okay.""I woke him up so he could talk." Derrick declared, making HD tremble in anger.Ice frowned and looked around. The cabin was filled with 12 people, clustered together at close range, holding Glocks and combat rifles. 10 of them were staring at him intently. He felt uneasy and turned to HD, confused."We are going to the dome. I need you to give me access to your server.""What?! No!" Ice refused. His uneven and wheezy breathing got worse as he became agitated and upset at once. HD squeezed him reassuringly and gave him a hard stare. " You need to calm down, love."

    "Get ready to move!" Derrick suddenly announced. The shadows, excluding ES04, who was carrying Ben, who was still unmoving,-got their guns ready. "What's the layout?" Derrick turned to the tech guy.Without saying a word, ES03  pressed a button on the side of the slim laptop he was using all this while. The keyboard pad suddenly withdrew into the body of the laptop screen. He clicked on another button on the side and the screen went dark. A white light came on, on the other side of the laptop. The tech guy turned the touch light-like light on the wall above Ice's body and repeatedly pressed a button. The more he pressed the button, the wider the spectrum of the light became. Soon the bright light formed a rectangle on the wall and the laptop screen came on again, showing a screen touch  keypad.  He started pressing the keypads and the map of the whole area soon got projected on the wall. Some places were marked in colors like red, blue, green, yello

    Just as ES01 stepped into the darkness, fluorescent lights flooded the dark tunnel, revealing a cart that can take four people at once, parked on one side of the tunnel, close to the guard's post. "What the hell?!.." ES03 exclaimed in displeasure. "... I deactivated those already!..."He hadn't finished speaking when his system started beeping from inside his backpack. "...This is not good." He muttered to himself as he swiftly dropped his rifle and retrieved the system from inside his bag. The system was glitching."...Shit! They are trying to get the AI back!" ES03, started clicking away. ' Bitches! You have no idea who you're playing with!" He scoffed."We need to keep moving. They are trying to lock this tunnel down." ES03 announced as he moved to the cart. "Someone needs to help me drive this." He said over his shoulders just before getting in the cart. He picked a place, settled into a seat before balancing his system on his

    Luck was definitely on their side. The T-Junction was close to them. So they made it in time. All that remained now was to make it to that tunnel gate ES03 mentioned. If they could do that and shut their pursuers in, they should be in the clear. But where does the new tunnel lead to? "03, where are we headed?" Derrick asked." Another village I presume. This was not on the map till we got pretty close to it."" Where does this tunnel lead to?" Derrick screamed at HD who was in another cart. " It's one of the new tunnels. If it's not identified on the map then I don't know." HD screamed back."Shit!" Derrick muttered. Now they were hurrying towards the unknown blindfolded. They kept their speed up in silence but soon it was disrupted with gunshots. The hostiles were catching up on them.

    On the fourth day, Derrick, who was always leading alongside ES01, was the first person to feel the cooling breeze on his parched skin. He got excited and started running. The others were startled but soon knew why he was being strange. They didn't hesitate to go after him. And soon they started hearing the muffled sound of water crashing against rock. As the sound got louder, their excitement got higher except for Lobo who couldn't swim. He was petrified. And when Derrick caught the terrified look on his face, he snorted. Now energized by the glimpse of hope, they hurried towards the sound of water but soon came to another T-Junction. Where to go? "I say we keep right." HD offered." Yes." Nodded ES03.Without a word, Derrick complied and soon the noise became so loud that they couldn't hear each other 's panting and harrid breathing again. 20 minutes into jogging and a white sheet came into view ahead of them.

    Rolph was in his room trying to figure out the best way to get rid of Jolanta without having to kill her. He had spent the whole night pacing, cussing and grunting.

    By the time Rolph stepped into Jan's office, he found Jan standing by a window with a freshly lit cigar in his mouth. Rolph humbly walked over to Jan's desk and stood there with his head bowed, waiting for further instructions. "Sit down." Jan muttered.

I don't know where they are. Why are you putting this on me?" Rolph demanded with a straight face. Jan chuckled silently and glanced at Rolph before crushing out his cigar on an ashtray on the table beside his chair. "You have really overestimated yourself.
