The sound of wind enveloped Ryan's hearing. Not to mention John's shrill scream as a result of feeling very surprised. Ryan and John flew through the air at an altitude of thirty thousand feet more.
The black clouds were adorned with flashes of lightning, adding to the atmosphere of tension. Ryan tried hard to keep John in the grip. He could not even look back to see the plane.
"You'll have to take responsibility if I die!" exclaiming John. In a state of cold hot sweat.
"Shut up!" said Ryan, no matter. His determination only wanted to quickly set foot on the ground. So he continued to focus on seeing the expanse of housing that was getting closer.
Gravity keeps bringing Ryan and John down. Over time the pull gets stronger. Ryan had to prepare to open his parachute.
When he felt the time was right, Ryan immediately opened the parachute. In an instant he and John expanded in the air. Moving slowly in an uncertain direction.
"Hold me tight, John! Especially if you don't want to die!" tell Ryan.
"Damn! I can't believe I'm doing this!" John had no choice but to hug Ryan tightly. His face looked pouted. Indicates that he does not like his current position.
Ryan looked at the plane. Coinciding with that, he saw the plane hurtling downwards. The sound of a loud explosion sounded. There was a black smoke among the towering trees. Ryan wishes Ethan had survived.
"Ryan!" call John. He tried to resuscitate Ryan who had been unfocused. Ryan looked straight ahead again. Directing the parachute so as not to get stuck to a dangerous place.
After a few minutes, Ryan and John finally set foot on the ground. Both of them happened to land at the local market. They fell on a pile of fish in a shop
"Hey! What are you guys doing?!" the man who seemed to be the owner of the shop. Ryan and John were silent. Both of them seemed busy releasing the straps of the parachute that was stuck. Then they rushed away as quickly as possible.
The man who owns the shop can only look and wander. A sign of him being so confused by the two strangers he had just seen.
"What should we do now?" john asked, equating with Ryan.
"We should at least find a phone. If not, then we can't ask for help." Ryan looked at all directions. Until his attention was turned towards the two men who had just stopped at the gas station. Ryan then asked John to hide.
"Do you think Ethan's dead?" ask John. He and Ryan had taken refuge in a store wall.
"You think I'm not curious?! That's why we need to move immediately. We need to change clothes, then find a means of communication and transportation!" ryan replied in a slow tone. He immediately moved, as two men who were inside the small truck drove towards him.
Ryan deliberately acted in pain while walking to the middle of the road. Small truck automatically stop. The driver slowly got out of the car. John who understood, immediately made an attack. Circling the elbow to the neck, until the target is unconscious. Ryan, however, looks after the other man. He attacked in a similar manner as John.
Ryan and John have changed their clothes. The two were in the truck heading to the position of the plane. They hope to find Ethan.
"There are two cell phones! You can use it to call Ruby and your men. I'll use the other phone to call my son!" john said while giving a new phone he found on the dashboard of the car.
Without a second thought, Ryan called Ruby. Only the girl's name flashed in his mind. Ryan doesn't want anything bad to happen to Ruby.
"Babe, it's me!" said Ryan.
"Ryan!" Ruby exclaimed from across the phone. The sound of crying could be heard from him. "Tell me you're okay?" his question. In between her sobs.
Hearing Ruby's cry, Ryan chuckled. He felt anxious and happy at once. "Yes, I'm fine. John and I just need to find Ethan" he replied, focusing on looking forward to driving. "And stop crying, Babe. I'll see you soon." he tried to calm down.
"alright... Ethan's okay, isn't he?" ruby's hiss sounded doubtful.
"Mike and your other subordinates, happened to be trying to devise a plan to look for you. They were unable to move because the police were keeping a tight guard. But--"
"What?! You have to tell them to stop. Why are they so desperate?!" Ryan did not believe. He felt anxious, until he accidentally cut Ruby's words.
"Look first, Ryan. Frans found a way to ask for help from state officials. He said, the plan has a high success rate!" obviously Ruby. He started to stop crying.
"No! Tell them not to do anything before I get back, okay?" ryan's orders.
"All right, hurry home! I missed you so much!" add Ruby with a tone full of emphasis.
"I miss you, too" responded Ryan. He was relieved to hear Ruby's voice. Their conversation ended there. Ryan's feelings and thoughts were calm in a moment. But the feeling had to be disturbed, when the smoke from the plane explosion began to be seen from a distance.
"How do we find Ethan?" John looked at Ryan with the corner of his eye. Because there are a lot of people crowding to watch the plane crash. The plane crashed in a wheat plantation.
"I'm sure Ethan's around here!" Ryan was sure. He stopped the car to the side of the road. Then split up with John to find Ethan. They had to do it, before the police from outside arrived.
Ryan walked over to an old man who appeared to have a silvery mustache. Ryan immediately asked, "Excuse me, sir. Did you see anyone survive, before the plane actually crashed?"
"Hmm. I don't know. I just found out about the plane crash, when I heard the sound of an explosion." The old man replied with a raucous voice.
Ryan nodded, trying to find another witness. His attentions were centered on a black man who had just finished speaking to two local police officers. Ryan immediately approached the man in black. He tried to cover his face with the hat he was now wearing.
"Excuse me! Can I ask you a few questions? Incidentally, I am a journalist from the newspaper media." Ryan had a convincing expression. He did not forget to shake hands and introduce himself. Ryan certainly did not mention his real name.
"Yes, meet me Austin. I am the owner of this wheat garden. Please write in the news that you wrote, if the government has to pay the huge losses I received. Note that!" light black man. Ryan didn't expect Austin to be so excited. It's a good opportunity for Ryan to get more information.
"Do you think someone survived this incident?" ask Ryan. Hope he finds a clue about Ethan soon.
"I don't think so!" answer Austin. His head shook firmly.
Ryan was automatically worried. He was now scanning his vision in all directions. But he doesn't find Ethan's sosome anywhere. A girl suddenly pulled her clothes. Ryan looked up at the girl.
Without a word, the girl handed him a small piece of paper. Ryan's forehead shriveled in wonder.
"What's this?" Ryan asked. But the girl just moved. He ran into his mother's arms.
Ryan who was curious, immediately opened the small paper given by the girl earlier.

...'Hurry home! Meet Ruby and your future baby. I'm doing fine. I'm just telling you that I'm not gonna be a part of The Shadow Holo from now on.'...
...From the person you say you hate....

Ryan took a long breath. He could have guessed that the person who sent the message was Ethan. I don't know why Ryan is a little sad about Ethan's decision. However, he is relieved that Ethan survived the crash.
