|Tambov, Russia|4:45 am

My heart is pounding.
Pounding so much that I feel like it might explode out of my chest.

I feel like I can't breathe.
I know I'm hyperventilating. My arms and hands are trembling as I try keep them firmly in the steering wheel.

Tears are streaming down my face.
My eyes are stinging and everything's blurred. I barely see the road. But I have to keep going. If I stop, we're as good as dead.

We have keep going. We have to get out of here. I know that I can get Liv out of here. Out of Russia. I have to save her. I have to save her life.

|Three hours earlier|

It's been at least a day since I left Romania and I'm almost at the headquarters. I've made all sorts of preparations for Olivia and I's getaway. I had to get rid of the van that Chase gave me for the warehouse mission, and got a car with a new license plate. After my assassination mission at the Alexandrov Kremlin, I took the remainder of the money that Semyonov had stolen, and gave it to his now ex-wife and her son who was gravely ill.

Turns out, Adrian, the son, who I now know personally, is a black market dealer and he's actually really good at getting all sorts of things. The money helped Adrian get better because he had access to all sorts of expensive medicines, and before we knew it, he was back to full health. Adrian and his mom have been extremely generous towards me ever since I gave them the money, and to be honest, they're like a second family to me. And the best part is that the Knightwalkers know nothing about it.

Adrian is also extremely good at working  technology. I actually visited them when I arrived in Russia, and I told Adrian about my plan to get Liv out of the country. He got to work and managed to make Liv and I fake IDs and got us plane tickets for the next flight out, which is in the next six hours. Right now, I'm limited on time and it's going to take at least another 45 minutes to get to headquarters, and maybe another hour and a half to get Olivia out of there. I'm glad I made the decision to call her and tell her to get her stuff packed.

After that, we have another three hours to get out of the country, if we happen to run into any trouble. Adrian also made preparations for me to switch cars so that we don't get followed while we're on our way to the airport.

After that, it should be smooth sailing from there. Within those next twelve hours, we'll be in Las Vegas, and Olivia will be safe and able to live her life.

Knightwalker Headquarters|12:50 am|

It's time. I've sat in my car going over the plan again and again. This has to work, or we're never getting out here. I'm more nervous that ever but I'm determined to get Liv and leave. I've dreamt about this moment, and now I'm making it a reality.

I park in a safe spot close to the forest and about a half a mile away from headquarters. I take two of my guns with me, pull up the hood of my jacket and head for the building.

With our guards being everywhere at this time of night, I try to be unseen and, I eventually make through them and into the backdoor of the Knightwalker Headquarters. Everything is set up just the way I want it to be. Chase is on another mission, so he isn't even here, and  Maria is stuck in Romania until she "finds" Nathan Gray. Only Father and Olivia are here. I make my way into Olivia's room.

"Olivia". I whisper. I open the door. "Olivia". I whispered a little louder. "She isn't here". That familiar voice left terrified as began to turn slowly. "Maria". I said in a low tone. She had her gun pointed at me as stood in the door frame of Olivia's room. "So you we're planning to leave me in Romania"?! She growled. "Maria, just calm down, okay"? I said as I started to walk towards with my hands up.

"DON'T COME ANY CLOSER"! She yelled. "I swear I'll shoot you". She continued. I backed away from her. "How did you get here"? I asked her with a shaky voice. "I'm not here to answer your questions". She said as she gritted her teeth. "I'm taking you to see Father". She said as she placed her gun on my head.

At this point, I have no choice but to go, so I lead way as she continued to hold me at gunpoint. We arrived at Father's office and opened the door, only to see Father holding a knife up to Olivia's neck. "Olivia"! I cried out. "Dylan, help me". She said as she sobbed. I started to move towards her but, Maria pushed gun further into my skull while Father began to almost press the knife onto Olivia's neck.

"Now did you really it was going to an easy getaway"? Father said with a smirk. "Too bad, because of your decisions, your sister has to die". He continued. I could see it in Liv's eyes. She was looking for an opening, anything to catch him off guard. I saw that Olivia had a knife hidden in her palm.  "And you are going to watch". He says as he points the knife at me.

This is it. Her opening. "OLIVIA! NOW!" I shouted. Olivia took her knife and slashed Father's arm. He screamed in excruciating pain as he let go of the knife and held his wrist. I grabbed Maria's arm just in time as she shot her gun. I elbowed her in the face and took her gun and pulled the trigger. The bullet hit her in her left shoulder and she fell and hit her head on the floor, leaving her unconscious. I looked over at Father, who was also unconscious, because all the blood he lost.

Then, I looked at Olivia. She was trembling with tears in her eyes as she stared at the blood covered knife. "Olivia". I said low calm tone. She looked put at me as a tear streamed down her cheek. Even though, I wanted to comfort her, we need to get out of here, before the guards noticed anything was wrong. "Come on". I said as I held my hand out. She quickly took it and we ran out of the office and into the hallway.

"I put my bag by the back door, so we don't waste". Olivia said as we ran for the door. "Good thinking". I said with a smirk, which made her smile. I swung open to back door, and Olivia grabbed her bag. "Okay, we're going through the forest, so stay close, okay"? I said.

Suddenly, I see a guard out of the corner of my eye. He raises his gun at us. "Where do you think you two are going"? He said. Without thinking, I grabbed Olivia by the arm and started to run. I could hear him shooting his gun towards. I let go of Olivia and told her to hide and I did the same.
"WHERE DID YOU GO, YOU BRATS"?! The guard shouted as he passed my hiding spot. I quickly grabbed my gun, aimed it and pulled the trigger. "Is he dead"? Olivia asked quietly. "Yeah". I said.

We got out of our hiding spots and started to run. Before we knew it all the guards spotted us and began to shoot at us. We ran even faster. I could see the car up ahead. "Olivia, there's the car"! I said. "Dylan"? She said a shaky voice.

When I heard her voice I knew something was wrong, and when I turned around, my heart stopped.

Olivia had been shot.
