The Way Back Home's

Crimson

“Ruberu!” Farrell sees Ruberu pressing Olivia's body down, locking her and making her unable to move freely.

Olivia tried to rebel even though free. “Let me go! I'll kill you!”

“You're seriously saying that kind of thing to me? You will only add to the length of your list. Against officers is definitely not a good thing.” Ruberu already handcuffed Olivia's hands. His movements were so fast it was almost invisible.

Remy ran from the end of the hall. “Ka— Are you okay?”

William wakes up while cleaning his knee. “Almost injured.”

Remy turned his head around, he saw Farrell was fine. Milo looked pale. “Ka— Are you okay? You look shock.”

“How am I not in shock!?” Milo exclaimed as he threw both his hands up. “Someone wants to explain what's going on now?” He looked directly at his brother. Farrell flinching. He looked at Remy.

Remy squeezed both his hands. “Ja— So— So earlier we thought.. If only, I mean, if Farrell could make them confess, mu— might..”.

“Let me alone!” sahut William's. “So that police officer came to me with Remy. We're planning to get Denise and Olivia to confess. How-to? He said he would use Farrell as bait.”

Farrell nodded. “Yes, I already know that. Ruberu taught them a few tricks to make them talk. I just didn't think you were.” Farrell let the sentence hang.

“No idea I'm on your side?” William looked up, towards the two eagles. “You've released Bailey and Barney! Denise didn't even realize they were missing. She's too busy with your mom. Without the hostages, they can't tell me. So, I just ran away. I look forward to your coming here to help. I also helped Remy sneak into the kitchen and help find a place to fish for Olivia. How, my work is pretty good, eh?”

“Very good!” Farrell was relieved to hear William's explanation. “Now, back to uncle. Where are they?”

“It should be in the meeting room. You want to go there?”

“Yes! I had to save uncle from..” Farrell stopped his speech. He saw another girl join them. “Emily?”

Emily appears. Her steps were slow, her eyebrows were furrowed, her teeth were biting on her lips. “I heard a commotion. What happened?” The question sounds shaky. Especially after he saw Ruberu forcing her twin brother to sit on the floor. His shoulders slumped down. It seems like he wants to talk but doesn't know what to say.

Ruberu stood facing the female employee. “You should come with me, Emily. I can explain everything in the office. I think you also have a lot to explain to us.” Ruberu spoke while showing a star-ornate badge. Needless to say, Farrell understood it must be some kind of police badge or something.

Emily's eyes started to tear up. “I... I tried to stop them. They're my family.”

“Please come with me. We'll talk about everything in the office.”

Olivia started to snort. “Daddy right. You are a bad boy, Emily! Too bad, yeah. I've said it many times, haven't I? Either way, you're already involved, Emily. Now they're going to put you in jail with us. You should have helped me, Emily!”

“No! You can't rule me!”

“Oh, yes? You forgot the muffin I used to give you?”

Ruberu did not hesitate to snap her catch. “Hei! Be quiet! Shut the fuck up!”

Emily no longer dared to answer.

Olivia was not at all afraid of Ruberu. He was screaming. “Do your job properly, Emily! Take the cure and kill Farrell Eden!”

Emily was silent as a statue. His eyes were empty, his mouth tightly clenched.

Farrell gasps. “Runmannequin!” Farrell should have known he couldn't be close to Emily. “Do not, Emily!”

PRANGS!

“No!”

Not yet able to react, Emily has moved again. He took a dagger from behind his own pocket. His hand pulled the knife into Farrell's stomach.

“Farrell!” Milo just screamed.

It happened so fast. Farrell did not escape or escape. He could only feel an immense pain creeping from his stomach all over his body. Emily pulled a knife. Fresh red blood flowed out profusely. Emily's about to strike again. Fortunately, William hurriedly ambushed her from behind. She held onto Emily's wrists tightly, preventing her from doing anything else bad. Emily squirms for a moment. Then he stopped. His gaze was only on Farrell who was retreating slowly.

Farrell reached out, examining his wound. He could see blood changing his hands. His sight began to blur. Her chest feels tight. The world began to turn. Farrell's body slumped after finding the wall behind him. He could see the shadow of Milo approaching as well hear his panicked exclamation behind the intense buzzing sound.

Milo. “Farrell! Farrell, survive!”

“Milo..”.

Ruberu throws another handcuff at William. “Cuff him!”

Milo looked at the policeman who was approaching. “Ti— Can't you do any magic to cure it?”

“Sorry once. I'm a cop, not a doctor,” Ruberu said quickly. “We have to find something to squeeze the wound. Fast!”

“A— A— I'll get!” Remy ran away from them.

“Milo... Find uncle..” Farrell finds himself starting to have trouble talking.

Milo spontaneously protested. “What!? Why at a time like this do you still think about uncle?”

Farrell turned to Ruberu. “Ruberu... Please save my uncle! Then, my father... Can you also release him? He... He is innocent.” Now the nausea began to rise to his throat. He had to try hard not to cough or worse.

“I know. I'll do what I can. Now, hush! Don't talk anymore!” ruberu Pinta.

Farrell's face turned pale. His body began to shake, unable to hold back any more. At the end of the remnants of his strength, Farrell stared fixedly at his sister. “Milo... Sorry... Now, you have to help dad... and mom...”.

“Do not talk again!” sahut Milo's. “You didn't hear what said—”

“Apply...”.

“OK, okay! Whatever!”

“Jaga Libby..”.

“Do not talk again, please!” Milo could not determine which was more dominant in his heart, upset or anxious. His mind was filled with worry at the condition of the older brother. “I told you I didn't want to hear anyone's last request. Especially from you, Farrell! Please, hang. Everything will be fine!”

Farrell is eager to continue with the statement that he does not mind the photo with Milo after the game. However, the rest of his strength was only enough to daub a faint smile. He could feel the pain in his eyes before his entire world darkened.

“Farrell?” Milo reached out his hand, gently shaking Farrell's body which was now fluttering on the floor. “Farrell!”
