The following weeks dawned with the familiar routine of dropping Sarah off at the hospital gates, Zakariah's gaze lingering on her form as she disappeared into the bustling corridors. Alone in the quiet confines of his car, he found himself at a loss, unsure of how to fill the hours until her shift's end. With a resigned sigh, he decided to occupy himself with a task he had long neglected—the hospital's financial records.

With a fierce determination driving him forward, Zakariah pushed the limits of his vehicle, pushing it to its maximum speed in a desperate bid to put as much distance between them and their pursuers as possible.
