Emily's heart racing, she stood frozen.
Alex stepped forward, his eyes locked onto Victor.
"You're finished," Alex said.
Victor laughed. "You're no match for me."
The tension was palpable.
Emily's instincts flared.
She grabbed the files.
"Let's go," Emily whispered.
Alex nodded.
Together, they made a break.
Gunfire erupted.
Bullets whizzed past.
Emily's fear spiked.
Alex shielded her.
They reached the exit.
Freedom awaited.
But Victor's words echoed:
"This isn't over."
As they emerged into the night air, gasping.
Emily's thoughts swirled.
Victor's threat lingered.
What did he plan?
Emily and Alex sprinted through the streets.
Their footsteps echoed.
Adrenaline fueled their escape.
But Emily knew.
The danger wasn't over.
Not yet.
