The days passed, and as no one came looking for them, Milena and Austin began to find a sense of calm.
They resumed their daily routines, going about their work and sharing the good news with the people they cared about.
However, that moment was abruptly shattered when a military truck pulled up outside their house.
The flashing blue lights illuminated the darkness of the night. The sound of a doorbell echoed through the house as they lay resting in bed.
In the middle of the night, just as they were resting in bed, the doorbell rang.
Austin jolted awake, the doctor's words echoing in his mind. He quickly got up, equipping himself with a shotgun before reaching the door.
"Austin, who is it?" Milena's voice quivered with anxiety, her concern filling the house.
Austin shook his head, signaling for Milena to remain quiet. "Who are you? What do you want?" he demanded, raising his voice as he focused on the door.
