"M... Mira... Zach..." Listening to the anxious voices from the other end, Clara slowly shook her head, while more tears flushed down her face. Then she glanced at Vivian who had now slumped down on the floor with a blank expression as she stared dazedly at the chips and her sobs increased. "Big brother, don't come... It's a trap."
Carl frowned slightly then quickly shook his head. "Calm down Clara, don't panic... There's no trap__"
"No," Clara cut him off in a hoarse voice then watched as Vivian slowly stood up then walked toward her.
"She's right, Big brother... You can't come here, It is a trap... There are bombs everywhere, it's too late!!!" Vivian sobbed helplessly.
"What!?"
"What!?"
Both Zach and Mira exclaimed with widened eyes and Carl's eyes also widened.
"Th... That is Vivian's voice right? Is she also inside?" Mira stammered then watched as Zach nodded with a frown. And what bombs did she just talk about?
They all broke out of their shock as Clara's voice came again from the other end.
"It's too late Big brother." Clara sobbed with a hand pressed on her chest. "I'm so sorry that I didn't tell you earlier... I love you, Big brother, I love__"
"Clara? Clara?" Carl repeatedly called out anxiously with his gaze still fixed on the phone and by then, his heart had started thumping rapidly. "Clara... Can you hear me__"
"C... Carl," Clara whispered from the other end with widened eyes, and Vivian frowned then watched as the girl clutched her chest with a pained expression.
"I... I love you, Carl." Clara sobbed loudly as she felt her vision blurred while a very sharp pain suddenly hit her head apart from the burning sensation which was rapidly building in her chest and she let out a loud screamed.
"Clara? W... What is wrong with you?" Vivian stammered while her pupils dilated, then she watched as the girl suddenly slumped down on the floor with both hands pressed on her forehead.
"Clara!?" Tears streamed down her face once more, seeing that the girl was now unconscious on the floor. She quickly knelt beside her and scooped her in her arms then shook her rapidly.
"C... Clara?" She called out again and started sobbing, feeling confused at what had just happened. She felt the girl's body temperature decreasing rapidly and she sobbed louder, then her eyes darted to the door and she turned back to the girl with a sniff."P... Pearl."

Meanwhile, Carl stared wide-eyed at the phone which was just disconnected from the other end and his heartbeat increased as he had also heard her scream before the call was cut off.
"B... Big bro, I... I think her memories," Zach stammered and trailed off with widened eyes, after hearing the girl's words.
By then Mira had already slumped down on the ground and sobbing silently. This is very bad timing, how can her memories suddenly return at this moment.
Carl broke out of his shock, from his brother's words and his and he quickly shook his head then dashed toward the building's direction, not wanting to believe what he had just heard.
"Big bro!!!..." Zach called out with widened eyes and he hurried after his brother.
The battle is now coming to an end and he could see that the majority of the masked men were already down.
The sounds of police sirens could also be heard from a far distance.
His heart started thumping erratically and he glanced ahead at his brother who had almost reached the huge building. "Big bro__"
He suddenly halted in his footsteps and his heart slowly sank while he stared wide-eyed at the building ahead.
Carl also halted in his footsteps with his eyes fixed on the building and he staggered back subconsciously."C...Clara..." He breathed out with dilated pupils and started shaking his head slowly.
By then, everyone had paused in what they were doing and also staring wide-eyed at the building while several sounds of explosions overwhelmed the whole place.
Huge flames were rising in the sky one after another as the sounds of explosions continued.
And everyone watched in shock as the once tall and enormous building was slowly crumbling down.
The few masked men that remained standing were the ones to break out of their shocks first after the explosions, and one of them glanced at the others with an anxious expression then stammered, "Our... Our Boss... I... I think our Boss is inside, I... I saw him entered there a while ago.
" No!!!" Mira's loud scream suddenly erupted the silence in the place after the explosions had stopped. She ran toward Zach who stood transfixed in one spot and shook him rapidly.
"Z... Zach, Clara is inside there." She started sobbing loudly while gripping tightly to the guy's clothes. "Zach... Clara!!!."
Zach also broke out of his shock, now staring at the building which had crumbled down completely he dazedly stared down at the girl who was wailing loudly and staggered back.
"S... Sister-in-law? Viv?" He mumbled absentmindedly after coming back to his senses and he slowly shook his head with disbelief.
His head snapped to the spot where his brother was standing before and his eyes instantly widened. "Big bro!!!?" He exclaimed then slowly dragged his trembling leg in that direction.
"Big bro!!!?" He knelt down beside his brother who had fainted on the ground then started shaking him while his eyes darted to the spot where the building stood a while ago. "Big bro?"
Glancing sideways at the guys in her blurry vision, Mira clutched tightly to the grass, while her body shook rapidly, as she sobbed loudly. "Clara..."
Some seconds later, the police cars flooded into the place accompanied by some ambulances.
Everyone rushed out of the cars and they stared in shock at the place which was filled with many dead bodies and a few injured ones.
Their surprised gazes were fixed on the crumbled building which was now engulfed in smokes.
