For a second, everyone was just shocked. But Lola quickly recovered, her eyes scanning the people inside. All she could see were the men standing while unconscious, their bodies tilted at odd angles.
Then, there, in the corner, also unconscious, was...
"Atlas," she breathed out, only to pause when she saw the two elders with him, and another with a quite familiar face. "That... silver-eyed trash."
"What are you doing?!" Penny yelled. "Pull them up — medic! Where the hell are you?!"
With her voice erupting into the air, everyone snapped out of their shock and quickly went to work. But then again, everyone couldn’t help but wonder what in the world had happened inside the building.
*****
[What happened]
"Son, I’m... sorry. It’s Dad’s fault."
Just as Charles expressed those words, knowing they could’ve been his last words, someone suddenly shouted.
"This way!"
The voice was clearly exhausted, but somehow, it sounded like... an angel.
When they turned their heads, there they saw a pair of silver eyes shining so brightly in the darkness.
"This way! NOW!"
Everyone didn’t even think or have a moment of doubt. They had around thirty seconds left; there wasn’t any time for anything else. So even if they didn’t know the man who was shouting at them, they followed. Whether they followed or not, they were dead either way.
Fifteen seconds left, and they saw a door that was already wide open.
"Inside!" shouted the man as he stood by the door, pulling everyone and pushing them inside. As he did so, everyone was making a countdown in their head.
"Ah!" The elder tripped right at the entrance.
"Move!" the silver-eyed man shouted, pushing everyone else forward.
Hugo lifted the elder and quickly jumped in. Then the man reached out to Marceline and the other elder with them. "Fast!"
Five...
Four...
"Reach out!" The same man reached out, taking the elder’s fingers and pulling him in.
Three...
Marceline managed to reach the door.
But before the silver-eyed man, Roth, jumped in, he saw two other figures approaching this way with great difficulty.
It was Iris, carrying the cardinal’s arm over her shoulder.
Roth huffed and jumped in, slamming the door shut.
One.
BOOM!
