Chapter 266 - 266: Please Stay Alive (2/2)

He was about to run to her when suddenly they heard another gunshot coming from the exit door. Captain Jason immediately rolled down to dodge the bullet. After that, he stood up and ran towards Bryan and Erick's direction.

”What are you doing here! Go now! Move quickly. We have no time left!” Captain Jason yelled at them.

But Erick ignored his warning as he continued to run towards Elle. However, Captain Jason quickly grabbed him.

”What are you trying to do Erick?! Our mission here is done! We need to go!” Captain Jason exclaimed to him using his stern authoritative voice.

”I said I Am Not Leaving Without Her!” Erick spat back at him, not minding their positions.

”Are you insane?! You also want to die with her. It's too late now. She's dead! Let's leave now. Your parents are there at the boat, waiting for you.”

Bryan was just standing on the side. He didn't have the courage to interrupt those two men. Clearly, they were having an argument.

”W-What did… y-you say?” Erick said upon hearing Captain Jason's statement.

With his serious expression, Captain Jason repeated his statement.

”I said she's dead! Even if you stay here you can't save her. It's too late now, Erick!”

Erick let out a humorless chuckle after hearing that. ”You're lying! She's not dead. Let go of my hand, now!”

Bryan looked at Erick worriedly. He could see that Erick was about to go mad because of his deep concern toward Elle. At this moment, he wouldn't listen to anyone.

Captain Jason turned to look at Bryan. He gave him a signal. From that stare alone, he could understand what Captain Jason was planning to do.

He would bring Erick back to the ferry boat even if he needed to use force. And now, he was asking Bryan to cooperate with him.

Bryan didn't know what to do. This situation was also driving him nuts. He also wanted to save Elle but keeping Erick safe was his main priority. He also promised her to protect him no matter what.

With that thought in mind, Bryan made his decision. He turned to Erick and told him something.

”Buddy, I am sorry,” Bryan mumbled.

Erick looked at him confusedly. Captain Jason grabbed that opportunity to knock him down when he was still distracted by Bryan's statement. Captain Jason hit him on the back of his head.

Bryan quickly caught Erick before he fell down. Before Erick completely lost his consciousness he still managed to stretch his hand towards Elle's direction as if he was trying to reach her as he took one last glimpse of her.

'No! No! I must stay awake! I should go to her and save her. Elle! Please….wait for me… wifey, please… stay alive.'

A single tear rolled down from the corner of his eyes before complete darkness took control of him.
