Neil dodged Jack's attack. When he evaded the man's attack, he felt that the air around the deadly blow was distorted.
"You really had swallowed one of those pills?"
But Neil didn't received a response as Jack resumed his assault. For every strike he makes, it was filled with strong force that Neil didn't dare take them head on.
Neil can also feel that something really had changed to the man. Neil can't see it, but it was there. Neil also doubted if the man got stronger due to the pill.
All strikes of Jack are dodged or blocked by Neil, occasionally Neil would throw some counter attacks. The only thing that hurts Neil are when he blocked some of the blows. All of Jack's blows are very strong that made Neil more curious of what the pill can do.

Meanwhile, the rest of the squad are outside the the abandoned warehouse several meters away. They are fighting Rodman and his men.
When they saw them running away from the building towards the highway, the squad wasted no time to block their path and engage in a brawl.
Rodman and his bodyguards are tough opponents but due to the coordination of the squad and their familiarity of each other, they defeated the men and tied them up with all of them unconscious.
They planned to interrogate Rodman but Spencer went too far and made the man passed out.
After tying all the men, they decided to head inside the building to see what's going on. Neil hadn't been replying for who knows why. They only thought he turned it off.
They are about to run towards the building when they heard sounds of incoming cars. It was a bit dark but they can see that there are three grey vans. The Vans stopped just beside the highway when the drivers apparently saw people.
"Those van looked similar to that of Rodman's cars, are they backups?" Carlo asked when he noticed the vans.
His question was answered when one of the men got angry when they saw the tied Rodman together with the other men. They looked towards the squad and wasted no time to charge towards them.
"Colleen, you go see if Neil is alright. We will handle these men here." Carlo said.
"Okay." With that, Colleen rushed to the warehouse while the other three prepared to fight the men. They got ready as Spencer even used his phenomenal ability to deal with their opponents. Feeling the burst of strength and speed in his body, he charged first to the incoming men.

Neil is standing in front of Jack as the man in front of him can be seen to be holding his head. Neil can see that Jack is in pain and he didn't know why.
They are fighting a while ago when Jack suddenly stopped and fell on the ground, wriggling in pain. Neil wanted to use this opportunity to get the pills that was placed not too far from them when Jack stopped his drama.
He is now standing up with sweats on his head and his breathing rough.
'I think time is running out and the effects will go away soon. But I feel that I got stronger, I think I need to finish this quickly.'
Jack stood up and stared at Neil wickedly. Neil can feel the murderous intent behind those eyes. The aura from the man seems to have become more evil. Neil hypothesized that it was because of the drug again.
Whatever that drug does to the one who used it, it wasn't entirely good. Although Neil knew that it makes a person stronger like what happened to Jack, it can't be avoided that there may be negative consequences.
Jack stood up while not taking his gaze from Neil like a predator ready to pounce on his prey.
Neil was irritated now that the fight is dragging longer. They need to finish everything earlier so they can leave the warehouse.

Outside the building, Colleen's phone vibrated. It was a call from Marcos.
"How are things on your side? Oh, I bet you're good and okay. I just want to say that you can call the police to handle everything when you finished the task, just make sure not to stay there and wait for the police. Get out of there immediately when you're done." Marcos said while not asking more about the mission. He has a large trust to his squad when it comes to their job. All he had to do is to wait for reports.
"Okay." Colleen didn't bother to narrate what really happened also. She then slowed down when she reached the entrance since she needs to be careful.

Neil chose to end the fight quickly so they can get out. Closing his eyes for a moment, he readied himself to unleash a single deadly blow to the man in front of him.
With a deadly gaze more terrifying than Jack, Neil gripped hard on the wood he is holding. If it is a sword, he would have slashed the man a while ago, but the drug seems to make Jack feel less pain when hit by the wood.
Jack is still standing when the youth in front of him seems to disappear as Neil arrived behind him in a lightning speed. The next moment, Jack only felt an intense pain on the back of his head before he dropped to the ground, senseless and unconscious.
It was at this moment that Colleen saw what happened and approached Neil. She did not bother to ask about the details as she informed Neil about the things happening outside.
Neil just nodded his head and quickly get the suitcase of the pills. He also didn't forget to retrieve the small sound recorder that Carlo placed when they arrived at the place.

The fight with the rest of the squad ended faster with the additional help of Neil and Colleen. Colleen then called the police station. After that, they quickly left the place to go home.

Marcos didn't understand why the squad is taking so long to finish their job. It was only when they got home did he learned why.
"Hmm, make sure to be more careful next time Ana." Marcos said nonchalantly.
Ana just smiled wryly and scratched her head. The whole mess was her fault so she made a mental note to act better next time.
The squad is giving reports to Marcos as time passes and they even listened to the whole conversation of Rodman and Jack. It was at this time that Marcos learned that the drug involved isn't just one of the common drugs.
"Hemo Pill?"
