How is this possible? Death window can't happen in this factory! He was hit by massive distress.

"Security breach!" sounds of panicked people came from attached speakers.

He ran out of his room to see everyone else rushing in the passage. Boone also joined them without any question.

In the chaos, he met Red Demise.

"Wh-w-what h-happened?" he stammered.

"Crowman is dead!" Red Demise said while running along with him.

"How did he die?"

"He got murdered, don’t you see?" Red Demise stopped, "Death window has come here after centuries!"

Most of the people were busy in checking CCTV footages. They were glued to their computer screens, constantly forwarding and rewinding the video. Red Demise was more worried about the current Death Window than Crowman's murder.

"Red Demise!" an operator called him, "Look at this."

Red Demise pushed his way to see what the operator had noticed. Boone joined him as well.

There they saw one man entering inside Crowman's room. He stayed there for a minute and ran out of the room. To their fortune, the camera caught his face.

He was Old Ghost.

"Old Ghost killed him! How did he get out from the dungeon?" Red Demise was taken aback.

"Window is still active. We must find him before he costs more lives. Everyone is mortal in this hour." Boone talked to him.

"Guards. Come with me." Red Demise said and guards began to carry their guns. Red Demise stopped, "Boone, carry a gun and join us."

He struggled to carry the heavy rifle and struggled more to walk with it.

Who freed him? Thoughts refused to leave Red Demise's head. Is he the one who opened Death Window? If he is the one then how did he do it?

Boone was behind the guards all the time. He almost bumped to one in front of him when they stopped.

Guards gasped in horror when they saw Grief standing in their way with a tight grip on his reaper.

"Run!" Red Demise bellowed but it was too late.

Grief swung it and the axe stretched like rubber. Those who got touched by the blade collapsed there and lost their lives for eternity.

Boone thought Red Demise also had been a victim till he saw him fly in the passage with his giant wings apart. Now the reaper was coming towards Boone.

Boone felt like he was paralyzed from down the neck.

Red Demise crashed on him which saved him from being hit by it. Red Demise went on to clutch him by his sharp talons and began to fly with him. His claws were sinking in Boone's skin but he did not mind it.

Boone didn’t like being a liability. He aimed his gun at Grief when he was in air. Boone fired the jet of light.

Red Demise couldn’t handle the thrust by it and collided on the wall. But it had brought them some time along with bruises near to bleed.
