Chapter 17: The Chase
As they ran down the hallway, Sarah could hear Dr. Lee and his agents closing in behind them. She knew they had to move fast if they wanted to get out of there alive.
"Come on!" she shouted to Ishan and Raha, grabbing their arms and pulling them along.
They burst through a set of double doors and found themselves in a long, dark corridor. The only light came from a few flickering fluorescent tubes overhead.
Sarah led the way, her eyes scanning the corridor for any signs of danger. She could hear the agents behind them, their footsteps echoing off the walls.
As they ran, the corridor began to narrow and twist. Sarah could feel the agents closing in, their breathing getting heavier.
Suddenly, Ishan stumbled and fell, his eyes wide with fear. Raha tried to help him up, but it was too late.
The agents were upon them, their guns drawn. Dr. Lee sneered at them, his eyes gleaming with triumph.
"You fools," he spat. "You thought you could escape me? I'll never let you leave this place alive."
Sarah stood tall, her eyes locked on Dr. Lee. "We'll never give up," she said, her voice firm.
Dr. Lee laughed. "We'll see about that," he said, raising his gun.
But before he could fire, Raha suddenly sprang into action. She kicked out at the agent nearest to her, sending him crashing to the ground.
Ishan took advantage of the distraction to scramble to his feet. Together, the three of them launched themselves at the agents, fighting for their lives.
The corridor erupted into chaos, the sound of punches and kicks echoing off the walls. Sarah fought with all her might, determined to protect her friends.
But despite their bravery, they were outnumbered. The agents began to gain the upper hand, pinning them to the ground.
As Sarah looked up at Dr. Lee, she knew they were beaten. They had fought hard, but it hadn't been enough.
Dr. Lee sneered at them, his eyes gleaming with triumph. "You should have stayed out of this," he said, raising his gun.
But just as he was about to fire, a loud explosion rocked the corridor. The agents stumbled, giving Sarah, Ishan, and Raha the chance to escape.
