DOWN ON BENDED KNEES

“You have thirty seconds to open this door willingly or we will take it down.”

Kane froze on hearing this. Regaining his composure, he quickly peeped out the window and saw the squads parked outside, with guns pointed in his direction. He realized there would be no escape this time around.
Previously, he had been a secret agent, working for the government. But over time, he became disillusioned. When some officials orchestrated an attack that killed more than ten thousand people, and blamed it on an infamous terrorist group, he could not stomach it any longer.
Putting together files that would show everyone how callous the government was, he sent it to lots of news stations, both local and foreign. For the past two months, he had been on the run from a vindictive government who wanted him dealt with. But today was not his lucky day.
Members of the secret service barged in, forced him to his knees and placed a gun to his head. Down on his knees, he thought back to all he had done as atonement for the wrongs he had perpetrated and had no regrets.
