Monica and Aries huddled together in Eric's underground office,The room was dark, except for the glow of the computer screens. The air was stale, and the silence was oppressive, punctuated only by the soft hum of the machines. Monica's eyes were fixed on the small security monitor, her eyes moving quickly between them .Aries clung to her arm, his eyes wide with fear, as he whispered, "Mom, what's happening?" Monica's grip on his hand tightened, her voice barely above a whisper, "Shh, baby, Dad will come for us. He'll keep us safe."
Meanwhile, Eric burst into the passage, his footsteps echoing off the stone walls. He sprinted towards the office, his heart racing with every step.

Meanwhile, Eric burst into the passage, his footsteps echoing off the stone walls. He sprinted towards the office, his heart racing with every step.Eric's eyes locked onto Monica and Aries, his face twisted in urgency. "We have to go, now!" he exclaimed, his voice barely above a whisper.
Aries clutched his favorite toy, eyes wide with fear. Monica grasped their luggage, already by the door.
"Revealer Jack's closing in," Eric warned, his gaze darting around the room.
As they turned to leave, Eric hesitated, dashing back to his desk. He snatched a small box containing the precious gem, shoving it into his suitcase.
"Let's move!" Eric whispered, leading them through the narrow, winding passage.
Monica and Aries followed closely, their footsteps echoing off the walls.
They reached a hidden door, disguised as a library bookshelf. Eric pushed it open, revealing a moonlit night.
But Revealer Jack's henchmen were closing in. Eric swiftly activated the water heater's scalding shower.
The henchmen's groans and curses echoed through the passage as Eric, Monica, and Aries sprinted toward their waiting car.
Their luggage was hastily loaded, and Eric started the engine. As they sped away from the house, Monica glanced back.
"We'll be safe in Toronto" Eric reassured, his eyes on the rearview mirror.
