All the members of The Shadow Holo had gathered in the central room. Including Ruby and Sarah. There were about fifty more people there.
Ryan looks fully dressed soon join in. He was wearing a black sweater. Long pants that match the color of the sweater. In the man's hand there must be a gun that has been loaded with bullets. Before confronting all of its members, Ryan first approached Ruby.
"Ruby, you better go to the room. This time let me finish it all. I don't want to see you emotionally anymore" Ryan suggested with a serious look.
"It's ok, Ryan. This time I won't bother you. I promise," replied Ruby fixed on her stance. Ryan finally nodded, and moved on. He doesn't want to be too pushy.
Ryan now faces all the members who have gathered. Look at their faces one by one.
"Is there anyone who hasn't come yet?" ryan asked in a loud voice.
"Max and Ken might. I don't see them" Frans said, shaking his head in all directions.
"Max? Wasn't he the one who told you to gather? Why is he the one who came late?" Ryan was astonished by the deep frown.
"It looks like Max was just trying to call Ken. It just so happened that Ken went to the hotel room upstairs" Frans said. Tell me what he knows.
Without further ado, Ryan immediately took his phone. He's trying to get in touch with Max. However, had not had time to call, Max even first contacted him. Ryan raised the call.
"Max! Where're you?! Don't-"
"The state of emergency! Ken just blew himself up!" Max spoke in a state of agitation. It was as if he was busy regulating his rapid breathing. His panic cuts off Ryan's words.
"What?! You're not kidding, are you?!" Ryan was in disbelief. Even so, his pupils remained enlarged.
"How could I lie to you. If you want to save yourself, you better do it now. The bombs will explode one by one. Worse, I don't know where Ken put it. What is clear is that we can conclude that he is the traitor." said Max. There was the sound of his steps coming down the stairs. He is trying to save himself.
Emergency alarm sounds. It seems like a dangerous state has just been detected. Everyone is automatically overwhelmed by panic.
"Boss, where Ken blew himself up is on the top floor. That's why it doesn't feel underground. The bomb explosion did not cause a major explosion. Thankfully the hotel did not collapse!" Max tells me back.
"OK, save yourself!" reply Ryan. He immediately told all the members to disperse and exit the underground area. The same thing was done by him. But the difference is, she puts Ruby first.
"Sarah, I want you to prove to me that you're not a traitor." Ryan looked straight at Sarah. "Protect Ruby until she gets out of this building" he continued. Giving orders.
"I can take care of myself!" said Ruby. His face looks ugly. The girl felt like a child.
Gaby and Mike come to Ruby. The two invited Ruby to go together.
"Again, you can help each other get out of here. Hurry on! Before anything bad happens. I'll catch up!" tell Ryan. She tries to move on, but Ruby deftly holds onto her wrist.
"You're not coming?" ruby asked with worried eyes. It was then that the ceiling as well as the floor of the building suddenly shook violently. Removing fragments of old building materials. A bomb went off on one of the floors of the building.
Everyone then squatted. Covering his head while closing his eyes tightly. Only Ryan was reflexively hugging tightly onto Ruby. Positioning the girl under the chest of her field. After the tremors subsided, Ryan urged Ruby and the others to leave.
"If there's something you take, let me do it!" mike insisted. His hand gripped tightly onto one of Ryan's shoulders. "Let me pay my debt" he pleaded.
"You won't understand. Mike, I'd be very grateful if you managed to get Ruby out of this building. We don't have much time. If you want me to survive, then do what I tell you now!!" ryan insisted, pushing Mike. He then left.
Because Ryan was so pushy, Mike then had no choice but to accept. He and the others immediately stepped towards the door of the emergency staircase.
Unlike other people who want to get out quickly, Ryan even more into the underground area. He walked through the hallway to his room.
Ruby goes hand in hand with Sarah, Gaby and Mike. Sometimes the girl looks back. He was worried about Ryan. Honestly, she wondered why her husband was getting inside instead of running out of the building. It just so happened that Ruby was the one who walked the very back. It was in his mind to catch up with Ryan.
Sarah, Gaby and Mike keep moving forward. It even passed the emergency stairs to the top floor. They had at least managed to get away from the underground area. When she was outside, Sarah looked back. Now she realizes that Ruby is no more.
"Damn! Where's Ruby?!" sarah's Kimpal to Mike and Gaby.
Mike, who had just found out, rushed back. He's going to pick up Ruby. The same goes for Sarah and Gaby.
As Mike opened the door to the stairs, an explosion greeted him. Making Mike, Sarah and Gaby were thrown into the air simultaneously. Debris of buildings also seemed to fly in all directions. Although the explosion was not so big, the impact managed to cause the exit to be covered in ruins.
Now the support pole looks a little cracked. Sarah quickly pulls Mike and Gaby to save herself. But Mike refused, insisting he would go back into the basement.
"Go there! You won't be able to get in if the exit is so closed!" squeal Sarah. He shook his head in disbelief. Frustrated at how stubborn Mike was.
"Mike, we better get out of this building..." Gaby pleaded while dripping some clear liquid from the corner of her eye.
"Mike! the support posts started cracking. If we don't leave, then we won't survive." Sarah is still standing behind Mike. Trying to change Mike's mind.
"Yes, I know!" squeal Mike with a great eye. "What about Ryan and Ruby?! I'll do anything to keep them safe. You should know that!!" he said again. His eyes full of vibrations. Proving that his determination is no joke.
"Gaby, go first with Sarah. I'll try to save Ryan and Ruby, HURRY!!" Mike's orders. He voiced out his last word.
"But-"
"Come, Gaby. We don't have much time. Let your brother be busy with his own decisions." Sarah took Gaby with her. They slowly ran out of the building. Go as far away as possible like everyone else.
The gradual and hidden bombardment was unexpected. The explosion will occur suddenly at an unknown time.

Author Note :
Sorry to be late, guys. The author wasn't feeling well from last night. But it's better now.
Oh yeah, I want to tell readers who are expecting Ruby to be pregnant. In the meantime it won't happen. This story has already reached a major conflict. In addition, because this novel is also in the race to share love. So, I'm trying to fit the same story frame that I gave to the editor. Because in the skeleton, there is absolutely no telling of Ruby's pregnancy. But if you want to see Ruby pregnant can be in season two later anyway, even if you are still interested in this story. Yes, that's it, guys,
greetings of love, Auraliv.
