Xander was having surgery when Raine arrived at the hospital. She let out a sigh of relief upon witnessing how the military officers strictly blocked the entrance of the operating area, particularly the operating room being used for Xander's operation. Only authorized doctors could enter using their biometrics.
"Boss," Levi weakly whispered from another line.
"Yes, Levi…"
"Two of our men were brought to Life Hospital while three just arrived at the emergency room of Yang Globals now," Levi reported.
"Boss, my men and I will head to Life Hospital now to check on them," Dan interrupted.
"Good. Report to me regarding their conditions later," Raine commanded.
"Copy, Boss."
Raine immediately headed to the emergency room. There were too many casualties, and she could hear the cries of pain everywhere. In the midst of it all, she spotted Dylan.
"Boss," Dylan weakly whispered, but Raine signaled him not to say any more words.
"I will take care of him, Doc," Raine informed the doctor assigned at the emergency room.
"Oh thank God, you're here, Doctor Yao," the doctor let out a sigh of relief. "He only has minor wounds so I'll leave him to you. The casualties just keep on coming."
Raine reassured the doctor with a smile as she accepted the dressing kit.
"We… Jill and Johnny" Dylan was unable to continue. All he knew was Jill and Johny seemed to be suffering from fatal injuries when the medic took them.
"Shhh, it's alright. I'm glad that you're safe now. I'll look and check for the rest. Rod and Niza are brought to another hospital. We will hear news from Dan soon. For now, rest here as a patient," Raine instructed.
She called a nurse to endorse Dylan's care to. After making sure he was alright, Raine looked for Jill and Johnny next.
She approached one of the nurses and asked, "Where are the other patients?"
"Doc, these are the names of the ones undergoing treatment and surgeries. The rest were sent directly to the morgue."
Raine grabbed the list, and she almost lost her balance when two unidentified bodies were sent to the morgue.
"Doc, are you alright?" the nurse asked.
Raine composed herself and nodded, "I'll just go to the restroom real quick."
Raine lied and quickly left to check the morgue. Somehow, she still hoped that the unidentified bodies were not Johnny and Jill.
"Boss, Rod and Niza are in the ER of Life Hospital right now. They're currently being treated for minor concussions and wounds. They're safe, Boss." Dan reported on the other line.
Raine could hear everybody's sigh of relief. She was online so everyone in her squad could listen to her conversation with the nurse a while ago. Raine finally arrived at the morgue.
"Doctor, do you need anything?" The diener in the morgue asked.
"Yes, please. Can I see the two unidentified bodies? You see, one of my close friend's family was on the bridge when the accident happened and they can't find them yet. I know their faces."
"Alright, Doc," the person in charge spoke. "Please follow me."
"These two were already dead by the time they brought here. They died of internal bleeding due to the crash and blunt trauma from the collapsed bridge," the diener explained.
Raine's jaw clenched as she tried to calm herself while looking at Jill and Johnny's bodies.
"It's not them," Raine told the diener and quickly left the morgue area.
As soon as she was outside, Raine helplessly relayed, "Dan, come here and pick up our brother and sister. Give them the best funeral they deserve. I'll talk to their families soon…"
There was a moment of silence before Dan stuttered, "A-Alright, Boss..."
Raine's tears rolled down her cheeks. She turned off her mic as she helplessly slumped on the floor, crying hard.
Her squad members were not just random people aiding her on her difficult job and duties. They were her family. And today, she just lost two of her family members.

At Yun's Place at country D.
As instructed by Raine, Tyrone went to see Yun.
"Xander is still alive," Tyrone reported.
"I know," Yun answered. "That bastard seems to have nine lives," he grunted as he blew the cigarette smoke out of his mouth.
"Raine just lost two of her squad members. She's so mad right now…"
"Do you think my stubborn niece suspects me with the collapse of that bridge? Ah, I heard that the bridge was too old already, and it had the worst traffic in the world," Yun casually commented.
"I'm not sure yet. She didn't tell me where she is now. But I'll go to Yang Global now since Mia said that three of her squad members who got caught up in the bridge's collapse are there," Tyrone said.
"And why do you think her minions are there, Tyrone?" Yun questioned.
"I told you, she's planning to bring Xander's head to her father once he wakes up. They're probably tailing Xander Yang to execute her plan, but I guess you're quite faster than her," Tyrone said. He just wanted to leave and go to Raine, but him reporting these things to Yun was necessary for her plan to succeed.
"Or maybe her minions are there to protect Xander Yang," Yun postulated. "I have my doubts about that b*tch. Ah, Tyrone… You have to give me a reliable piece of information and not just mere opinion!" he blew up. "How long have you been working with Raine? It's been long enough for you to be trusted with more juicy information, and yet all I get from you is nothing but trash!!!"
"I'm almost there… She'll let me be her right-hand man soon, just a few more days of getting her complete trust," Tyrone said with a blank expression. "Right now, I should be by her side and be her emotional pillar."
Yun gave him a sharp stare as he hissed, "Just make sure you'll get the upper hand in the situation and not the other way around where you'll be the one getting played! I'll give you a few more days. But once I reach my limit, Tyrone, and I still get nothing from your service, then you know what's coming to you…"
"I understand," Tyrone answered before immediately leaving as soon as Yun dismissed him.
"You just wait for what's coming your way soon…" Tyrone whispered with a dark look on his face.
