Slowly there was light again. He felt his body being moved, then another hit as he dropped to the floor again.
Madison ignored Jonathan waking up and carried on with her instructions as she loaded them into the backseats of a car. She got into the driver’s seat and started the engine.
As they departed, Jonathan cleared his mind “M-adison? What’s going on?”
She remained silent to his agitation “Why are you even here? Don’t tell me...oh well, what else.”
“Jonathan Bovier” she merely said “You and Nico will die in a car crash. Jennter will be absorbed by Crinale and we will go our ways again.”
Bovier remained unshaken by her words “Who is ‘we’?”
“You tried your best to get this driven out of me, but all these years I merely played the same part that Henry did” her words remained clear and emotionless, at least that was the impression she was trying to give.
“Who is ‘we’?” Jonathan repeated more forcefully.
“You don’t lead this dialogue, Jonathan” Madison coldly returned.

“I think I have found my identity. For what purpose I was set into this world” she explained with a slight tremble “To serve this group.”

“You are a free person” Jonathan shouted from the backseat “That’s what I always tried to tell you!”
She chuckled “Yes, you tried. Yet you restrained me for all these years.”

The car stopped at the outskirts of the city, unnoticed by her, Nico woke up too.
“You knew how much it messed with me” Madison said with a jittering voice “The confusions, the pain, the restraints!”

“Madison, I only-”
“Cut it out!” she screamed at him “I am tired of all this. I am sick of being your labrat! And I am not a substitute for her!”
“Her?” Nico jumped into the conversation.
“Rebekka” Madison and Jonathan said in unison.
“But for her, I also can’t do this” Madison said, smiling and with tears forming in her eyes “Even though I hate you, I also love you. And you too, Nico. Jana too…”

Two black cars began to pull up their side, the reserve JSD members beginning to circle the vehicle. Madison wiped the tears away “I think I stalled enough time. Good luck oh and, don’t worry about Henry.”

Madison slowly exited the car, with the JSD pointing their weapons at her. She calmly set course back towards the city.
“Let her go” Jonathan ordered them “Nico, get up, there’s work to do.”

“My name is Jonathan Bovier, President of Jennter Enterprises since 2085. A recent dispute within the company led to some complications among the company leadership. But the relentless support of my loyal coworkers resolve these issues as both bases in Düsseldorf and Copenhagen are currently reviewing their structures. I can also announce already that the company will return home to our old headquarters in Düsseldorf.
Unfortunately we missed out the final race of the FX400 season, but we will give it our best to make 2210 worth it!”

The announcement was occupying every advertisement block during the transmission of the season finale in Omega Harbour. It sparked confusion about who exactly this Jennter team on the track was.
The Australian police were seizing the property of the ‘imposter team’, as it just has been reported as stolen minutes after the announcement was made, forcing the craft to retire midrace.
However, Henry was nowhere to be found.
