　　The situation allows of no delay. Ryan drive fast to the Century Park.
　　After much searching, Ryan found nothing but a black bag. Also, there is a recording pen in it.
　　“Now, the game is beginning. You have one hour to find two places on the photo. One of them is your wife. And the other is Amy. It’s your turn to make a choice. Oops! There are some bombs around them. They will explode at the same time. HA HA HA HA......”
　　Frowning, he said an F-word, and looked down at his watch. Only 55 minutes left. The places on the photo were two unfinished buildings. But one is on the west, the other is on the east.
　　Ryan quickly contacted the police. And immediately drive to the east. On the east, it was his wife. Though Ryan was a police man. It is his duty to save the people. But, who can do things without selfishness? He couldn’t give up his family for someone else. His kid was still young. Kid can’t lose his mother. So, he chose to save his wife. Maybe, the other police would come in time and successfully save Amy.
　　He ran into the unfinished building. Then, he was dumbfounded. The lady who was tied up on the chair was Amy, not his wife. There is no time. He quickly untied her rope and ran out. Then, Boom! The bomb exploded. Ryan had some abrasions on his arms. But he didn’t seem to notice. Quickly, he drove to the west.
　　“No! Please! No......” His eyes were bloodshot.
　　When he reach the building, the sound of ambulances and police cars rang around him. He rushed into the building, looked at the people being carried out on the stretcher. None of the is his wife. Did that mean his wife is still alive? Hope returned to his eyes.
　　He stood barring the way of a police.
　　“Where is my wife? She’s still alive, right?”
　　“Sir...... Sorry, your wife is dead. When we entered into the building, the bomb exploded. Many colleagues got injured. I’m sorry for your loss.”
　　At that moment, Ryan’s heart is like dead ashes -- utterly dissipated.
　　“And we found this.” The police handed a recording pen.
　　Ryan pressed the play button. A burst of laughter came from the recorder.
　　“HA HA HA...... Mr. Ryan, it seems that you chose your wife. But, as a police, you should save Amy first, right? So, I made a choice for you. HA HA HA HA HA......”
　　Ryan clenched his fist. Tears ran from his red eyes. “I swear, I will tear you to pieces!” He said through gritted teeth.
