I carried Mel with my newfound strength as quickly as possible. I didn't kill them, so I shouldn't be running from the crime scene. But I had harmed them, and there was no proof of them having harassed me. Unless the cameras were still running because some genius had meddled with it.
Plus, I didn't know how long my strength would last. If it was Lucas's doing, then he might have extinguished his energy to save me. And if he was still supplying me with his extraordinary powers, it would mean that he was lying on the boundary between life and death.
Every door had been shut by their system, so there was no room for escape. I went into the only free room that I had come through, hoping to get both of them out alive.
