Chapter-98: Everything is over.
A wooden house was in front of James and he went close to it. He wondered what was the use of that house in that place and he saw another piece of paper hanging on the door.
[Reading] "Countdown begins!! What does that mean?"
He opened the door and saw an arrow mark button on the wall but suddenly, he heard the screaming sound of people coming from inside. He ran towards the sound and got shocked… For a while he got stunned because in front of his eyes, his officers were sitting on the chair and their hands, legs and mouth were tied up.
He was not believing in his eyes. His eyes were stretched and they all were screaming like they wanted to say something to him but James wasn't able to understand them. He ran towards the Chief and opened his mouth. Chief told him to run away from there because there is a bomb on the back of the chair. …[Shocked] James quickly checked it and saw a bomb on the back of the chair and the timer was running on it. He had to untie all of them as soon as possible and he quickly opened the ropes of Chief. [Untying George] While untying George, he was telling him to go from that place and save himself but James won't listen to him.
When he unties him, he quickly tries to open the ropes of Ashley. George remove the clothes from his officer's mouth and Hank told James and Chief to run out from that place… but George shouted and told everyone that nothing will happen to them… they all will go out from that place alive. James was untying Ashley and she told him to go from that place. She also told him that he was wasting his time… he should leave that place but James scolded her and told her to stay quiet in a loud voice. James was looking too worried about his officers and others were struggling to get rid of those ropes.
[Struggling and screaming]
George was untying Lana and he saw the countdown… the time was running very fast and he also realized that there is no time to waste. The timer was very close to zero and the bomb was going to explode at that time. He had to make the decision very fast and he called Hank in front of himself. George showed him the timer and he also realized what to do. They slowly turn their heads towards James. … They knew that if he loses his life over there then there will be no one who can catch Harvey and if they want to catch him then they have to save James.
Hank- "James I want to talk to you." [Scared voice]
James- "shut up. This is not a time for talking."
But Hank grabs him from behind and lifts him up. James wondered what he was doing and why did he pick him up like this.
"Hank what the hell are you doing?" [Questioned]
But Hank was crying and he was telling him that he needed to live for them. James can hear his crying sound and James saw that Hank was taking him away from them and he was very close to the door.
… "Hank!! No!! What are you doing? Leave me."
"Sorry James… I am sorry."
James was struggling and Hank took him out of the house and he threw him away from the house. James shouted and fell down on the ground away from the house. Hank closed the door but that time also he said sorry. … James was laying on the ground and he was in shock. He stood on his feet and ran towards the house but a huge explosion occurred and due to the impact of the explosion, James fell down on the ground away from the house again. James was shocked and shouted.
"NO!!"
He bent down on his knees over there and screamed loudly.
"Ah!!"
He was punching on the ground and cried loudly. He kept crying loudly. Tears were coming out from his eyes and crying desperately.
Meanwhile, there was a man who was standing away from the forest and he was watching the scene. His name was Sniper and he was watching that explosion far away from that place. He smiled and went inside the car and went from there.
James was still there and he kept crying. Those tears were telling everything and the pain was coming out from his eyes through tears.
[Crying] "I am sorry friends!! I can't save you all. Sorry!!"
In the safe house, Jane was sitting on the chair and June was walking around her. The house was covered with other officers and they all acted as the people who used to live around that house. They all were walking around the house and their eyes were fixed on those people who were roaming there. June was looking out from the window and Jane asked her about James and how did she know James?
… June replies that she already told her how she knew James.
[Sound of clock] Jane- "is he fine?"
June- "I don't know?"
On the table there was a Wookie and from that Wookie, all officers were talking to each other and they both were listening to them.
James was walking on the road in that dark night and his condition was not good. His shirt was torned and shoes were covered with mud and still he had the marks of tears on his face. His eyes were red in color because he cried a lot and he was walking like a drunken man. [Walking]
Officers were walking around the safe house and one of them saw him and he quickly informed June that they had seen James. [Surprised] June and Jane both get surprised and Jane stands from her seat and runs towards the door but June grabs her hand and pulls her back.
"No!!"
June took that Wookie on her hand and ordered them to take him inside.
Officers checked him and found that his condition was not good and he was cleaning his tears with his shirt like a baby and he opened the door. [Shocked] Both June and Jane get shocked when they see him and James fall down on the chair. All officers also came inside and stood around. They all were standing and looking at James. June asked him what happened with him but James was sitting silently and he was like a statue for all of them.
June- "sir!! What happened?" [No reply]
Jane was scratching the table with her first finger and she slowly walked towards him and asked him what happened in a low voice.
"James, what happened and where are your other officers and Chief?"
James closed his eyes and tears came out again. They did not know why he was crying and Jane asked him to say something but James kept crying.
Jane- "James what happened? Tell us." [In loud voice] In a crying voice, he said that he lost everything. He told them that in front of his eyes, his team members exploded and he couldn't do anything. [Shocked]
All the officers get shocked and June falls down on the chair.
It was like a wave of fear and that wave destroyed everyone from inside. James was crying badly and he grabbed Jane. He told her that he is the team leader and he isn't able to save his team members.
… James was crying and Jane also grabbed him and tried to heal his wound. She was trying to calm him down and requesting him to control himself.
June took a Wookie and changed its frequency.
"FORCE team members are dead."
After saying this, that Wookie dropped down from her hand and she hit her hands on the table. That time was a very painful time and they all had to face that time.
Morning time.
Sun was rising and some cars were coming towards the safe house. All cars were moving in a line and they all stopped in front of the safe house. Many people came out from the cars and they all were wearing black dress and they all covered one car. [Door opened] A man stepped out and he walked towards the steps of the safe house and he opened the door. When he opens the door, all the officers get shocked and stand straight and give him a salute.
"Sir!!"
Jane also gets shocked and she also slowly stands from her seat. She doesn't know who he is and why they all were standing like this for him.
That man was looking at everyone and he saw James, he was standing on his feet but his head was down and his eyes were also staring at the floor. … June moves her eyes towards James and looks straight.
"Five steps back!!"
All officers step back and June dragged Jane back and stood straight. That walked towards James and stood in front of him. … James was still looking down and he slowly lifted his head and that man saw his red eyes. There was zero expression on his face. [Sound of clock]
