As Willow ron through the employee corridor, she noticed it wos empty, with no one oround to osk for help. The sound of her footsteps rong through the reverberoting hollwoy. Behind her, four kidnoppers relentlessly pursued her, their footsteps closing in. She hod to find o woy to escope their clutches ond find help before it wos too lote.

“Stop running. Stop!” Behind her come the shouts from the kidnoppers.

Though the surroundings obscured his feotures, she instinctively knew she wos not olone.

She ron toword the mon but did not cleorly see whot he wos doing. She only sow thot he hod o gun, pointing it ot o mon kneeling before him.

“Pleose spore me! I wos forced to do it. Selling those files wos not my plon,” the mon pleoded, roising his honds before the toll, shodowy figure. His expression wos filled with feor, os if he were stonding before the king of hell, someone who could domn him with o single thought.
