Liang Jian Amal sat under the stars and wondered if she was looking at the same ones . After 64 hours they still had nothing .
24 hours after she disappeared he had stumbled upon the bunker, since then there had been nothing . Erol and himself had found a hint of tracks from a truck that led south and to the west, but after a couple hundred kilometers, they faded to nothing .
Liang Jian Amal held his head in his hands, dishearted by this . Even though Hao Jin Ying returned with the helicopter later that afternoon and helped them cover lots of ground in the search, it was for nothing . It was as if Chang disappeared .
'People disappear when they've died usually . ' A voice whispered in the back of his head taunting him .
Advertisement"Shut up, she's not dead . " He whispered back to himself .
After last night the voice had grown stronger plaguing him with doubts and suspicions . He had been only able to sleep for a few hours due to the nightmares that plagued him . Every time he closed his eyes the scenes would haunt him . Scenes all involving Chang and the absolute worst that could happen .
"Still can't sleep?" Erol sat down next to him and leaned against the truck . He lit up a cigarette for himself before holding one up for Liang Jian Amal .
Liang Jian Amal gratefully took it and lit it, taking a long drag . "No I keep having those fucking visions . I know she's not dead, I just know it . "
Erol gave him a look that said he was losing his mind and hell, he might be right . 'I might be losing it just from the lack of sleep . '
Erol rested a hand on his shoulder offering support . "We'll find her, don't worry so much Liang Jian Amal . You should sleep, I'll keep watch . You'll be no good in the search if you keep going like you have been . "
"I know, I just can't, not yet . Not until I've found her can I rest . " He sighed as he stared up at the bright full moon . "I-"
He was cut off by the sounds of gunshots in the distance . He looked sharply at the man next to him confirming he heard the same thing .
"Hao Jin Ying!! Get up immediately we have to go!" Liang Jian Amal sprung to his feet, collecting his weapons as he called at Hao Jin Ying to wake her .
She had been sleeping like a rock until he called out frantically . Hao Jin Ying sat up immediately in her sleeping bag she'd brought . Seeing the men quickly grabbing stuff, she realized the situation and went into the helicopter and started to start it up .
They took to the air quickly and saw a pair of lights moving quickly in the southwest . Keeping the headlamps off, they advanced to where the lights were .
As they got closer they saw that it was open aired truck flying across the desert . It suddenly came to a screeching stop though illuminating a dark shadow in its head lights .
Liang Jian Amal motioned to Hao Jin Ying to take them lower so that they could get a better look at what was going on . It looked like a person in white standing in the light, not just that a woman .
The person standing in the light fell backwards when one of the men from the truck approached . As they were pulled from the ground they seem to have struck the man with something as he staggered back holding his head .
One of the men in the truck still shot at the person as they tried to run after striking the man . The figure shrank and fell to the ground, and Liang Jian Amal felt his heart squeeze seeing that .
"Take us lower . "
"They will notice us for sure if we go any lower . " Hao Jin Ying protested at the thought of being shot down from the sky . His returning glare left no room for argument and she did as she was told .
As they got lower the wind pressure from the blades alerted those on the ground to their presence . Liang Jian Amal kept his eyes trained on the figure in white on the ground, his heart beating wildly .
