Whatever the intentions of the person behind all this were, their methods were undeniably extreme.
Using such methods to deal with and harm others for their own ends... I couldn't see them as entirely 'good.' Colin grabbed my hand, pullingto hide behind a van, and took off his protective gear.

I couldn't help but smile at his silly yet clever response, which addressed my doubts.

Sighing, I walked behind him and hugged him from behind, tiredly saying, "I'm so exhausted, carry me?" With a smile, Colin liftedonto his back, step by step leadingaway.
"Sir," I murmured, eventually falling asleep on Colin's back.
When I woke up, Eric had surprisingly arrived by car, not only Eric but he had brought quite a few people with him, evidently aware of our precarious situation.
