Ihe prect building, Kevin was waiting anxiously by his table. His puter was running some news analysis programs trying to find patterns of is. There were some patterns found, and with more of them found, a few notifications popped up on the s.

  But Kevin did not have the heart to check the notifications. He checked his phone stantly, a his phone charged at all times. The call from Marcus still did not e. The time was getting te. In just 15 mihe day shift would be over, and the detectives would get off work. Many of the officers had already left, and the building was gradually emptied out. More would leave, before the night shift officers came.

  After thinking for a brief moment, Kevin decided to move on with Marcus’ tingen. He packed his bag, got his taser and his pepper spray, then double checked his notes, before rushing out of his b to find the desks of the detectives.

  The other detectives were out, only Keryn Lance remained in the building, and the detective-in-training, Officer Mick Cramer. There was no other choice for him.

  “Keryn. Mick.” Kevin rushed to Keryn’s side and waved at Mick, who was ing up his coffee mug: “We’ve got a problem. Mareeds our help.”

  “What? How?” Mick put his mug in the sink: “What happened? Isn’t he taking the afternoon off?”

  “My b, let’s talk there.” Kevin pointed behind him: “It’s - uh, it’s plicated. And I need your help finding him.”

  “What’s going on?” When Kevin closed the door behind them, Keryn asked.

  “Okay - Marcus did not take the afternoon off. He went to the Lanmian Forest to che something.” Kevin sighed and expined: “He went to the forest because - well - he had certain suspis about things, and the unity collective.”

  “You mean, he had suspis about Tyler Khan.” Keryn frowned: “I see - I ’t say I would disagree with him. So he went there and - ”

  “He still hadn’t gotten bae. He told me he would check it out, and if there’s anything I should find as many as I , and if not I should hide.” Kevin rubbed his hair: “And I don’t wanna call him - I don’t want to expose him with a bad timing call - ”

  “Okay, so we should go to the Lanmian Forest and find him.” Keryn nodded: “But - before we go, do you know where he wely? Lanmian Forest is a big pce.”

  “I know, it’s on the er of - ” Kevin was just about to answer, before realizing that he fot something - he reached below his desk and hit the button ter a bug s. “Okay - this is strictly o-know intelligence, but I think the time calls for it. The food festival - we suspect it’s a farce - it’s an excuse to perform a mass sacrifice, as opposed to the smaller ones - ”

  “Mass sacrifice? What - what - what do you mean?” Mick was fbbergasted by this sudden b statement.

  “Sacrifice of humans, most likely young children.” Kevin waved his hand: “It’s a w theory, that’s why we didn’t tell many, but that is not important - ”

  Before Kevin could tinue, a sharp beeping sound resounded in the b.

  “Holy fug shit - someone bugged me.” Chills ran down Kevin’s spine.

  “Who - ” Keryn was surprised by this finding as well: “ - the fuck?”

  “Tyler Khan.” Kevin spoke through his teeth, stern and worried: “We must go. We must go!”

  “What - what’s happening?!” Mick asked as Kevin grabbed his backpack, unplugged his puter abruptly and opehe door of the b: “What’s this to do with Tyler Khan? What’s wrong with him?”

  “He’s a spy! He’s a fug spy!” Kevin responded with a raised voibsp;

  Keryn followed up by Kevin’s side, she did not ask another question, just double-checked that her gun was strapped to her belt. “Grab yun, MiOW!”

  But just as Kevin walked halfway into the on space of this floor, Tyler Khan came right to the front door, with a group of men behind him, all of whom were in dark cloaks and had their faces covered.

  “Shit! Backdoor! To the back!” Keryn raised her void pulled Kevin back.

  “The key! The key!”

  Three of them headed towards the back door. They ran by the squad car registration window and just grabbed all the keys on the hangers. Behind them, the men led by Tyler Khan rushed into the pred started fnking them from every er. There were only a few officers in the prect, and most of them were instantly subdued.

  “Bang bang bang!” Gunshots fired behind them as Kevin, Keryn and Mick ran into the garage. Keryn pulled Kevin and guarded behind him. Mick cursed, as he did n his gun over a it on his desk.

  Keryn ducked behind a squad car with bulletproof windows and doors, pulled out her gun and started firing back at those who came behind them. “Mick! e here! Kevin! Find the right keys!”

  “Okay!” Kevin tried a few keys, and within mere seds found the keys to the car behind which they were hiding.

  Mick leapt from behind another car and to Kevin’s position. Keryn fired off all the bullets in her magazine before jumping into the car. “GOGOGO!”

  The bulletproof squad car’s tires scratched the ground before speeding out of the garage and into the street outside. The men pursuing them led by Tyler Khan tried to take the squad cars, but they were left with no keys so they had to rush out of the prect to take the cars in which they came.
