The Third Soul: Frank

George Miller and Death stood beside the truck on a rainy night. Rainwater streamed through their bodies, splashing onto the cold concrete pavement.

Death: Frank Henderson, 56, former Marine Corps sergeant major.
Death: After thirty years of service to the nation, he retired only to face a government shutdown and lost his pension. To make ends meet, he became a contract-based e-commerce truck driver for Apache Prime.
George: Why did he kill himself?
Death : His wife died young, leaving him only his daughter Sarah. The gang kidnapped her and forced Frank to use his truck to deliver a shipment of 'special cargo' they had ordered.
George leaned closer to the car window and saw the text message on his phone. The goods are here. Now, take the final step: take your own life. Once the police find your body, we'll release Sarah. Don't play games.
George: After delivering the goods, they still want him to commit suicide? This is a cover-up, a fake suicide to cover up the crime!
Death: Frank is a stubborn veteran. A man like him doesn't trust the police, only' trades 'and' sacrifices.' He naively believes that if he dies, the gang will keep their promise and release his daughter.
George: But he's wrong. Such a scum would never keep his word.
Death: But he's wrong. Such a scum would never keep his word.
Death raised his hand, and two slits of light split through the rain curtain, revealing fragments of Frank's recent memories.
Death: Go and find out what has trapped him in this deadly predicament, and uncover the key to breaking it.
