Chapter 8

"You shouldn't act upon your instructions, you should act upon mine."I stepped out to the sound of Susan's anguished roar and Carter's feeble reassurances.

But none of that compared to the pain in my heart.

Susan's dismissal papers came through quickly.

Tunnel surveillance footage showed Susan prioritizing Carter's rescue with her team.

"Captain! There's still a child trapped under the car, we can save them!"

A team member called out to Susan, but she was already frozen at the sight of Carter's blood-soaked body.

She bellowed.

"Can't you see we have the most severely injured person right here?! The kid can wait, we need to get him to headquarters first!"

They hurried away, abandoning the child pinned beneath the vehicle.

The surveillance video was soon leaked to the public.

Internet sleuths dug up Susan's address, and she was pelted with rotten eggs every time she left her house.
