She bent down hurriedly and pressed on it then watched as the door opened and they both sighed in relief.
After walking inside the room, Clara's widened eyes slowly wandered around the vast place which contained different kinds of electronic gadgets then she watched as the girl rushed forward and start opening the small drawers from the tables where the computers were sitting.
She also joined her and started opening the drawers one after another while searching through the small devices that looks so strange.
"Don't touch that!" Vivian suddenly glanced at her and stared wide-eyed at the small black chip that was inside one of the drawers and had a small red light at the middle which was blinking rapidly. Her heart started thumping erratically and she quickly picked up a small phone which she had luckily found in one of the drawers.
"We need to get out of here, now," She said fearfully then grabbed the confused girl's hand and hurried out of the room, hoping the device is not what she was thinking it is.
Clara glanced back at the room as they scurried through the hallway while a frown appeared on her forehead then she looked down at the girl's hand which was slightly trembling. "What is wrong?" She asked in confusion.
"N... Nothing." Vivian quickly shook her head, while her heartbeat accelerate rapidly and she wondered again what was really wrong with her father and how extensive his hatred is.
She was still lost in her thoughts then suddenly heard the girl behind her gasped and she quickly looked up then watched with widened eyes as two masked men hurried in their direction.
She quickly hid the phone behind her and her expression turned dark. "What do you want?" She muttered coldly while shielding the shocked girl behind her.
The two men stopped in front of them and panted heavily while trying to catch their breaths.
"Miss, there's no time to lose."
"Y... Yes, you have to follow us, quickly."
They both muttered with anxious expressions and Vivian frowned as her thoughts wandered back to what she had seen some seconds ago.
"I'm not going anywhere with you... alone." She started between them coldly while her grip tightened on the phone.
The two men glanced at each other worriedly, remembering that their boss had asked them to bring only her.
"Let's go." Seeing that the men were distracted, Vivian grabbed Clara's hand again and they dashed past the anxious men.
"Wait."
"Wait."
The two men broke out of their reverie then quickly ran after them. They cursed out loud as the girls suddenly disappeared into one of the rooms.

Inside the room, Vivian hastily pressed some passwords after closing the door and she quickly looked down at the phone, then started pacing inside the room, while tapping into it.
Clara watched her anxiously while glancing now and then at the door where the men were still knocking at. She was about to say something to the girl when her ears suddenly caught the men's conversation from the outside.
'Shit! We're losing time, we have to get out of here."
'Yes, let's go, they could explode at any moment.'
'What!?' Vivian looked up from the phone with a gasp as she had also heard the men's conversations. Her thoughts wandered back to the black chip again and she stared at Clara with widened eyes.
"W... what is wrong!" Clara asked in confusion as she couldn't understand what the men were speaking about. "W... What did they mean__"
"Clara, we have no time to lose, let's go." Vivian hurried toward the door and started tapping in the passwords again while her whole body trembled violently and she could also feel her heartbeat increasing tremendously.
"Shit!" She suddenly cursed out loud, knowing that it was the same password she had tapped in some minutes ago. But why couldn't it open?
Sweats started forming on her forehead as she rapidly tapped in the passwords again and again while trying to control the tremors in her hands.
Clara watched the girl's expression with a frown and her heart also started thumping again. "What is__" she didn't get to finish her sentence as the girl suddenly turned and faced her with teary eyes.
"I... I have to warn Big brother, This... This place, it's a trap." Vivian bit her lips while more tears flowed down her face and she started fiddling with the phone again while cursing inside.
"W... What do you mean by..." Clara trailed off, now watching as the girl suddenly broke into tiny sobs. "W... What trap?"
"Shit!" Vivian cursed again as her grip tightened on the phone. After realizing that even the networks had been ceased. She looked up at the anxious girl then slowly shook her head. "We can't get out of here__ Clara, the door's security and__ the network," She muttered incoherently and slumped down on the floor, as her whole body limped while her sobs increased. "They have set bombs here."
"What!?" Clara's eyes widened, and she staggered back, holding tightly to the desk behind her. "B... Bomb?"
Her vision blurred again with tears and she also slumped down on the floor. It is obvious that the man had planned to bomb her together with Big brother.
Her heart started thumping again and she bit her lips hard as more tears rushed down her face. Her thoughts drifted back to what the masked men had said about the bomb exploding at any moment. It seems like they were not going to get out of this place alive. "P... Please try it again." She turned to the girl who was anxiously wiping her tears while fiddling with the phone in her hand, then pleaded softly as she has something to tell Big Brother.
"O... Okay." Vivian sniffed while nodding quickly. And seeing that the phone's battery was about to go down, she slowly stood up with trembling legs then started pacing around the room while praying that she could grab a connection somehow.
