The last we saw of Bruce and Lilac, they were trying to flee from a luxurious house, which was also the scene of a gruesome murder.
Will our two heroes ever make it back to safety? Can they save the many people in desperate need of a medical miracle who could be cured by the Goddess? Read on to find out!

As Bruce and Lilac make their way down the staircase, they hear a door creak, then a soft click. The noise came from the front door. The pair ducked down, waiting and listening. The house is silent, and after a while Bruce whispers "I think whoever it was left. We will have to be extra careful outside."
As they neared the bottom of the stairs, a bullet zinged inches from Lilac's ear. They ducked down, and made their way back upstairs.
Once in the hallway, they ran, quickly looking in each room for a way out of the house. Finally finding a room with a patio, they carefully dropped down, clinging to the patio as they did so.
"Let's get out of here!" Said Bruce.
Lilac nods. "That's the best idea you've had all day!"
Our two heroes keep to the lush greenery as they get their bearings and find the car. The area seems deserted, but they both know that the killer will be on their trail soon.
"There it is!" Whispers Lilac.
Checking inside, they see a lot of red soaking Mr. Pevar's silver emergency blanket. He is not moving. Bruce swears, and opens the back door of the car.
A short, heavy man bursts out of the house, not caring about the noise the door makes as the screen slams shut. "Stop right there!" he yelled, trying to catch his breath before leveling a 44 with a silencer on it.
Bruce and Lilac each dove in different directions, and back into the shelter of the jungle plants. He followed Lilac. Instead of running very far, Lilac hid and threw a small rotten log. He went stumbling in the direction of the noise, obviously not used to either running or being off the beaten path.
To be continued - soon!!!
