Emily, Alex, and Sarah sprinted through the streets.
Victor's men closed in.
Their options dwindled.
A dead-end alley loomed.
"Nowhere to go," Sarah whispered.
Alex's eyes locked onto Emily's.
"Trust me," he said.
He pulled out a phone.
Dialed a number.
"Extract us," Alex ordered.
A helicopter thundered above.
Ropes dropped.
"Up, now!" Alex yelled.
Emily climbed.
As Victor's men fired.
The helicopter soared.
Leaving the chaos behind.
Emily breathed.
Relief washed over her.
But Alex's expression turned grim.
"It's far from over," he said.
The helicopter banked.
A hidden location unfolded.
A secret base.
Emily's mind reeled.
"Who are you?" she asked Alex.
Alex's eyes locked onto hers.
"I'm the one who'll bring Victor down."
Emily saw the determination.
In Alex's eyes.
Her trust solidified.
Together, they'd finish this.
