Kapitel 197: 197 - From the ashes

*BOOOM!!!*

With her hand on Daemon's shoulder, in a dusty room close to the end of the corridor, Evelyn suppressed her fear at the sounds of quiet but hurried footsteps that passed by. But the explosion that came soon after almost made her jump out of her skin, her face turning pale.

Just like most people living a normal life, it was something she had never been through, and the thought that she had been in that room that just went up in flames not long ago made her face lose even more of its color at the tremors she felt through her feet.

"Let's move."

A tap on her hand brought Evelyn back to reality, her heart steadying at the sight of the back in front of her, and she obeyed while keeping her hand in place as she had been instructed to.

Daemon pointed his handgun attached with a suppressor forward. He checked the way, then led Evelyn in the direction the owners of the previous footsteps had come from.
