His stubbornness left the officers with no new leads. The chill in the room grew colder with their frustration.
Meanwhile, the officer who had left with Hannah’s phone came back.

She sat down, leaning in to whisper to her colleague, “IT confirmed nothing’s been deleted recently from this phone, and the video’s authentic.”
She passed the phone back to Hannah.
Hannah accepted her phone smoothly, sliding it into her pocket.

“Anything else you need?”
Considering the information the other officer had just relayed, the policeman across from Hannah pondered the situation and decided not to release her just yet.
“We have another video for you to see, Miss Moore.”
With a click of his mouse, the officer brought up a new video on the screen.
The footage showed the room, now empty of Hannah and Bryson.
Key members of the Gang stepped into view, questioning Herman’s decision to let Hannah walk free without a struggle.
Herman’s face was a mask, taut and unreadable. He motioned to those nearby to shut the door.
Once it clicked shut, a rapid succession of gunshots shattered the silence.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Within moments, several members crumpled to the ground, wounded by Herman’s unexpected gunfire.
He remained eerily motionless, gun still poised and ready.
A confederate, shocked at the scene, spun around to flee but was met with a bullet from Herman. The shot struck the back of his head, and he dropped instantly, lifeless.
Caught off guard, the room fell into disarray; the notion that Herman would turn on them was inconceivable.
In the ensuing struggle, three of them managed to return fire, wounding Herman amidst the tumult.
Blood stained Herman’s arms and shoulders, but he showed no sign of pain. With grim determination, he eliminated the remaining three who had tried to defend themselves.
As one injured man clutched at his wound, he cried out, “Herman, have you lost your mind? We are…”
His protest was cut short as Herman aimed and fired once more.
Bang!In an instant, the man’s life ended, his final words lost in the echo of the shot.
