Right after the chilling conversation, Aeyra slumped down in shock. A frantic knocking on the door brings her back to her senses, and she slowly opens the door.
From the door, a guy suddenly jumps into the room, trips, and lands on the carpet.
Before Aeyra or the others could react, he suddenly jumps to his feet, closes the door and frantically talks:
"My name is Maxx. I was one of the people working with Mark, but then Mark decided he didn't need me. Before he could kill me, I took to my feet and ran as fast as I could.
He called you, didn't he? He wants to "exchange", doesn't he? Don't listen to him!"
Maxx collapses on the floor, and Misaki, Aeyra, and KKLT rush to his side and help him up. Maxx takes a deep breath, and talks:
"He won't let go of you once you get near him. He'll kill the whole lot of you!
The only thing you can do is to run! Run as far away from here as possible!"
At this point, Maxx stiffens in place, and looks around crazily. "He's...coming!"
Sadly, he was telling the truth. The door suddenly collapses, and two teens with sunglasses and pistols walked in the room.
Maxx charges at the two teens. Without hesitating, the teens open fire on Maxx. Even though he was bleeding heavily everywhere, he refused to let go of their legs.
He turns to the girls in the room. "Run!"
