The group got back into the van and Lenny’s SUV and drove over to the entrance of the medical center.
As soon as they got out of the car, Rayne felt that something was wrong.
The entrance to the medical center showed many signs of looting, with loose bandages and scattered meds on the concrete floor.
"I feel like they were definitely here," she said while looking around.
The rest of the group walked over, feeling the same.
"Okay, let’s go inside," said Kia with a serious expression. Seeing that this was an emergency mission, something must have happened. It was better to proceed with caution.
The group carefully made their way inside, looking out for any lurking danger. Percy was so scared that he decided to slip away and hide in a nearby room.
He quietly tiptoed to the back of the group and opened the door closest to him, deciding to hide there until further notice.
He did his best to quietly open the door and stepped inside. The second he went to close the door behind him, he felt something strike him on the head, and his vision went black.
Rayne and Julian quickly turned around when they heard the noise from the strike. The rest of the group turned around to follow them.
Leading the way, Julian peered into the room and saw a man standing behind the unconscious Percy.
"Reginald?" Julian asked in a surprised voice.
Rayne’s eyes widened when she heard Julian’s voice, and she walked over.
Sure enough, the man standing in front of her was Ella’s father!
"Mr. Soto! What are you doing here?" she asked in a surprised voice.
Reginald was surprised to see the famous CEO of REN Corporation, who had been reported dead months ago, standing in front of him.
He had only just recently regained consciousness and found himself on the floor of a small supply closet. Just as he was about to exit the room, he heard the sound of cars pulling up to the building and decided to stay hidden in case it was an enemy.
Unfortunately for Percy, when Reginald heard the knob to the door of his room open, he thought it was the traitor returning to finish him. He quickly found a small wooden plank and got into position to strike whoever entered.
"Mr. Barclay? Is that really you?" Reginald asked in astonishment.
Julian quickly walked over. "Yes, but please don’t announce it. I’m supposed to be dead," he whispered.
Reginald wasn’t sure why, but he quickly agreed. "Of course, I understand," he nodded, then turned to face Rayne. "Miss Weston, is that you?"
Rayne walked over and smiled. "I’m so happy to see you! Is Ella here? I’ve missed her so much!" Just as the words left her mouth, she noticed the dried blood in his hair.
