“Closer!” Andrew snapped, and the jet inched nearer to the chaos below. Madisyn’s eyes flickered over the sea of terrified people rushing away from the destruction, some filled with relief, others still frozen in fear.

In the distance, the wail of countless police cars filled the air as they sped toward the scene.

“My undercover told me the base was destroyed today,” Andrew explained. “I knew they’d be trying to escape, so I contacted the police in advance to help them get out.”

Madisyn nodded, a wave of relief washing over her. At least these innocent people would make it back to their homes.

But where was Howard?

She still hadn’t spotted him.

At the exit of the base, Howard struggled to move, Milly heavy on his back.

The harsh light outside nearly blinded him, tears stinging his eyes.

Without warning, an explosion erupted in front of him, sending debris tumbling down and completely blocking the doorway.

His heart sank.

He realized the exit was now sealed—escape was impossible. Behind him, the explosions continued, their heat relentless, as though the very air around him was on fire.

Howard found a corner and collapsed to the ground, gently easing Milly off his back.

He brushed his hand against her cheek, the touch tender but powerless. Despite the blistering heat, her face remained cold and pale, a haunting reminder of the torment she’d suffered. Howard whispered, his voice barely audible, “I’m sorry I couldn’t get you out.”

He pulled Milly closer, holding her tight as he braced for the inevitable end.

The waves of searing heat battered him relentlessly, but he refused to let go, his body shielding Milly from the flames. The base was a nightmare, crumbling and burning, as if the very world were coming apart at the seams.

Howard closed his eyes, a single tear tracing a line down his cheek. His heart ached with the regret of not being able to repay his parents for their years of worry, and his sister…

He felt he’d failed as a brother.

Howard, who had never allowed himself to cry, was overwhelmed with emotion.

As the explosion drew nearer, he steeled himself to face death.

“Come on, everyone, push harder!” From beyond the wreckage, a voice rang out. The debris shifted, and a small gap began to form. Bricks tumbled away, and a rope ladder was flung through the opening.

“Howard!” Madisyn’s voice called urgently from the helicopter above.

Howard was jolted out of his daze, a spark of hope igniting in his eyes. He scrambled up the rope ladder with Milly, but his strength was fading fast, and he struggled to carry her. Andrew quickly descended, his voice firm, “I’ll take her. You go up first.”

Howard nodded gratefully and climbed up.

Andrew carefully lifted Milly onto his back, then grabbed the ladder and began his ascent. Just as the helicopter pulled away, a massive explosion ripped through the base, turning it to rubble and ash.
