Shane and the SWAT officers were closing in on the kidnappers when they were stunned with the realization of what the van driver was about to do.

“Damn it, the kidnappers are going to kill themselves and the hostage! Quick, stop them! We need to keep the hostage safe!” the SWAT team leader yelled into his earpiece.

His officers acknowledged his orders and sped up in an attempt to block the van.

Shane also stamped on his gas pedal, trying with all his might to knock the van off its intended course.

But alas, he was still too late. The van crashed through the guard rails and fell over the cliff at a horrifying speed.

They were struck dumb with shock at the kidnappers' actions. No one could imagine that they could be this cruel, choosing death over surrendering to the authorities.

“No!” shouted Shane with terror written all over his face. He'd wanted to drive his car down the cliff but was stopped as the SWAT team leader's vehicle collided with his. “Mr. Shane, please calm down!”

Shane ignored his words as he undid his seat belt with shaky hands. Once he alighted from his car, he rushed towards the place where the van had plunged off of.

A thick fog obscured his view of the area below the cliff. He couldn't see any signs of the van and had no idea of its fate, nor that of its passengers.

Who could survive after falling from such a height?

In that instant, Shane's mind blanked as if all his strength had been snatched from his body. He swayed unsteadily, and his eyesight began to blur.

He might've fallen off the cliff himself if it wasn't for a nearby SWAT officer who'd noticed his condition.
