Chapter XV: CON-sequence

The bracelet underneath Milo's sleeve began to emit a faint red light as a sign that they had been tracked down. All of the people around the building disguised as the staff and passersby revealed themselves to be law enforcers.

BAM!
BAM!
KA-BLAG!

The door was smashed to pieces with what appears to be a gun. Milo shouted at Omar, who ran to shield him. Jason squeezed between the two men and ordered the ex-cop to hand over his son.

"You're not taking away my messenger!" Omar protested.

"Milo, get over here! Don't feel bad for him for he's just using you," Jason demanded.

"Aren't you glad that we're able to solve this case further? If only you had acted quicker, remember that Denmark Castillo would still be alive - "

"THAT'S ENOUGH! You had the right to remain silent," George roared.

"Now, everybody knows what the RFA has been hiding from the public all this time! I know that you aren't gonna listen to a so-called 'outlaw' like me but surely you'll believe someone like Milo here," Omar continued.

He lets out a small chuckle at the thought of eventually being caught. Regardless of his intentions, the public will never welcome him with open arms. He never lost his composure even if he had reasons to be. He never acted defensive and wasn't afraid to be taken away nonetheless. He admits what he did wrong and all he wanted was to prove his loyalty to this country.

"I wonder how your parents would feel if they found out about this," George said in a threatening voice.

"I know. They're both gone ... " Omar said coldly.

He was later escorted out of the room, leaving Milo to stand there in shock. Jason pulled off the eagle mask from his son and tossed it across the floor. As they were about to exit the building, a ruckus started with the armored personnel behind them. George saw that they were getting knocked out one by one.

"Jason, Milo! Take Omar out of here!" he shouted as he chose to fight whoever this threat was.

"Let's take the fire exit here," the trio headed towards the door leading downstairs. However, they suddenly felt a tremor across the floor.

The emergency stairwell shook and became unstable. Milo and Omar both sensed that whoever was nearing their direction doesn't seem human. Jason looked behind them until he witnessed George getting kicked against the window at the end of the hallways. An agile fighter wearing a black scarf over their head was also moving closer towards them.

"Hand him over!" he commanded.
"Sergeant Sean?" Jason couldn't believe that one of their comrades would betray them.

The man pulled down the lower part of the scarf, revealing himself to be Jun. "Thanks for helping us catch Omar. He has caused us enough trouble so you can leave the rest to us!" he said in a conceited manner.

Before Jason could say anything, half of the floor next to them began to fall apart. The entire staircase has been decimated in a flash as a huge monstrous hand rose from beneath, closing its fingers over Milo and Omar. "MIIIILOOOO!" Jason reached out his hand into the layers of hole that took the two away.
Jun smirked at the scene before dropping a smoke bomb and disappeared.
