Bab 144: ~Hellbound~

The ward boy unlocked the door cautiously, and Paul followed him quietly.

"Sir, please come out," the boy whispered, his eyes darting around. Paul nodded and stepped into the corridor.

"Follow me," the ward boy instructed. As they moved through the facility, he helped Paul when needed, guiding him through the dark passages.

"You can get out of here," the boy said, and hope filled Paul's heart.

Paul smiled as he thought, 'I'll be free in a few minutes, Elena.'

Suddenly, a bright light flooded the corridor. The ward boy urged Paul to move quickly.

"Please, sir, act quickly. I think they are already aware of it," he added urgently. The chase began.

Paul raced through the facility with the ward boy. Alarms blared, and pursuers closed in.

"Please, sir, act quickly. I think they are already aware of it," he urged. Their advantage had been lost, and time was running out.
