Sarah exited the room before Maksim and stepped into the hallway that didn't look different than many others in an average-looking house with a touch of upscale elements like crown molding and shiny hardwood floors.
Maksim gestured for her to go down the hallway, and Sarah didn't move.
"I don't know where I'm supposed to go. How about you go first, and I will follow?"
Maksim nodded in agreement and started walking, occasionally tilting his head, to make sure Sarah is behind him and he smirked in satisfaction when he saw that she is maintaining the two-step distance between them and observing the surroundings without any fuss.
Sarah was trying to make sense of her current situation. Based on the time, Hong should notice that they are missing. Sarah wondered what Hong is doing now, but she can't use ear stud to talk to him, however… she can let him know that she is OK, and maybe finds out something in return.
