“Nice. A big car. A big win.” said Fushichin with a grin.
“That key is the one the police officer gave to me. She said it’s from the commander’s pocket.” said Hori while lifting the unconscious lady on her shoulder.
“I see. That makes sense.” said Fushichin.
Saran and Yulia entered the car with the babies in their arms. Hellen helped put the lady inside the car with Hori and gave the baby to Hori. Hellen quickly jumped off and strolled towards the door. But her movements started to slow down. She walked a few steps but fell on her knees on the ground.
“Hey, I told you not to push yourself!” yelled Fushichin and put his hand on her shoulder.
“I have to go. There are a lot of things…that need to be done.” said Hellen with a pant.
“You should rest inside the jeep. If you keep running around like that you might lose more blood. And we still haven’t examined your wound.” said Fushichin with a frown.
Hellen pushed her knee and got up to her feet. She walked back all wobbly. Fushichin was quick to pull her arm up and put his shoulder underneath it. Slowly they walked and arrived next to the jeep. He pulled her into the backseat of the jeep.
“We need a first aid kit. Just wait patiently without doing something stupid, okay?” said Fushichin boldly.
“What, you worried?” asked Hellen with a grin.
Fushichin looked at her with a serious frown.
“We’ll keep an eye on her, don't worry.” said Yulia with a smile.
Fushichin closed the door and went away.
Fushichin went towards the door, opened it and disappeared into the hall. But soon the door opened again. This time other captives ran towards the garage and opened the doors to the cars with a key.
One of them immediately started the car and escaped. But the other three waited. One of the cars they had the keys for was the truck that was used to carry the five inmates.
Betty, Natasha and Naran entered with the commanders into the garage. They put the commanders inside the back of the truck thanks to the inmates with the keys.
Right then, the hallway door opened and Fushichin got out with two scientists behind him.
“This way.” said Fushichin.
The two scientists were led to the jeep. They entered.
Stolen story; please report.
“Alright, lady. I hear that you were wounded. I’m something of a doctor myself so I hope I can get paid well after the operation.” said the man with grey hair.
“Argh…Fushichin, why did you bring these idiotic capitalists here.” grumbled Hellen, who seemed to be a bit pained.
“We will pay something for you. But if you don’t treat her or mess up something, a bullet to the head will be your price.” yelled Fushichin.
“Alright, alright. Jeez, quite the forceful one, aren’t you. I fail to see how any of you are heroes. I was having a simple day at my humble job and you showed up and made this place into a bloodbath.” grumbled the man.
The man pulled up Hellen’s t shirt and revealed a bloodied bra and bare skin. Fushichin’s eyes lit up and a murky smile appeared on his face but he did his best to hide it.
“You’ve been losing a lot of blood, lady. That’ll teach you to run around with an open wound. The bullet entered from your shoulder and exited through the other side. Good thing it didn’t get stuck there.” said the doctor.
With the help of the assistant, the doctor was able to roll the bandages around Hellen’s wounded shoulder.
“That should do it. Stopping the blood loss is of utmost importance. Get to a hospital as soon as possible.” said the doctor.
“Thanks.” said Hellen weakly.
“Hmph, how nice.” said the doctor with a taunt.
The other two women looked at Hellen with side eyes as they held the babies.
“Your job ain’t done yet, sir. We need someone to look at Cowalt’s wound as well.” said Fushichin.
“Right, right, on it.” said the doctor.
The detectives ordered the scientists and the captives around. The scientists were to leave if they wanted to. While the captives were warned to stick together. As Betty, Naran and Fushichin had inquired, most of them were indeed inmates and criminals that have been sentenced to prison for more than 40 years. Fushichin also noticed that the inmates with Betty held the other three babies in their arms. Those inmates entered the jeep, Betty and Naran entered the driver’s seat. While Casey and some other cops went into the truck.
Fushichin got onto the driver’s seat of the jeep. Hori sat next to him in the passenger’s seat with the baby. While Yulia, Saran, the unconscious lady and Hellen sat behind. A woman named Imi and Blaire sat at the back of the jeep as well. From questioning it seemed that Imi was sentenced to 50 years after murdering her abusive husband. The other woman, Yulia, was the one who was sentenced to death due to attempting to spread state secrets.
“So, we’ll be going now. Looks like you women are real lucky, this nightmare is finally gonna end and you’ll be set free.” said Fushichin.
“What happened to Hui Ying, Kyong and Dimitri? I saw Betty, Casey and Naran going past me. But those three aren’t with them.” said Hellen.
Fushichin’s eyelids dropped.
“They…didn’t make it. Kyong and Dimitri’s bodies were found inside the bathroom. Hui Ying’s was found outside the commander’s room.” said Fushichin with grimness.
“Oh, I see. That’s…unfortunate.” said Hellen, her eyes clearly in depression.
“It’s not your fault Hellen. The fact that this mission was a success was in itself a miracle. You should just…appreciate that.” said Fushichin.
“Yeah.” said Hellen as she looked sadly across the window.
Suddenly the baby in Saran’s arm started crying and weeping.
“Ahh, how noisy. I’m not good with kids.” grumbled Saran as she awkwardly swayed the baby around.
“Hey, you wanna give the baby to me? You…seem to be just shaking her.” said Imi from behind Saran.
Saran quickly handed over the baby to Imi and sighed.
“Hey, you knew about my past, right? Why are you letting me go scot free?” asked Saran with a frown.
