Shock and CEO tore down the narrow corridor, hearing the Mayor's slow, taunting footsteps echo from above.
His laughter sent chills through their spines, a twisted reminder that he was only toying with them.
"COME ON…!" Shock hissed, practically throwing himself forward.
He was mainly saying that to CEO, though, as he was the one holding the key.
Shock would have been much faster, but the businessman wouldn't give the key.
They had one mission now—get the basement door open and figure out an exit plan.
In front of them, the door leading to the basement loomed, a promise of escape that was already starting to slip through their fingers.
They fumbled with the key, hands slick from the adrenaline.
The Mayor's laughter grew louder.
"Shit… hurry," CEO muttered.
Finally, with a loud click, the door swung open.
[You have opened the basement.]
