Ethan Herd, leading Scarlett Glenn, avoided the main entrance, let alone leaving a clue behind, he took the stairs from the 7th floor down, then left through the back door. John River was waiting in the car behind, driving away just as a police car arrived at the hotel's front door.
Ethan didn't stop the car, he just kept going, and said to Scarlett, "Doing bad things on your own feels thrilling. But if you try to calculate the entire process, having everyone under your control feels even better."
As they drove further away until the hotel was out of sight, Scarlett turned her head and said, "I understand. That's the taste of power."
The neon lights from the window flashed past, casting alternating light and shadows on Scarlett's pretty face. Ethan laughed and said, "See, your boyfriend is quite capable. It's worth trusting him, right? Isn't it better to ask me to join in on such things in the future?"
