"They won't fight us?" the soldier looks at Bain with a puzzled expression.
"Yes," Bain nods. "The fire is a mere distraction. At least, that's what I believe."
"T-Then what should we do?" The soldier is panicking. "They probably somewhere, sneaking out of this city."
However, Bain calmly replies to the question. "We wait."
Since he expected the criminals to take such action, he also made a plan.

Somewhere inside the city, Vanessa has been meandered alone through the deserted streets at the edge of the city.
No one, at least no normal citizens, was seen in the vicinity since the soldiers had gathered all the inhabitants in one spot for safety purposes.
Most parts of the city are now empty like a ghost town. Only occasional footsteps of soldiers which she avoided caught her ears.
"Safety my ass!" she cursed under her breath. "Nice try soldiers, but I'm not an idiot."
