Marcus’ voice crackled through the phone, thick with concern.
Bruce pressed his tongue to the roof of his mouth, closing his eyes momentarily
to suppress the pain.
“She’s with me, and she’s safe. Don’t worry.”
“Where is she? I must see her at once.”
Marcus had no patience for Bruce's evasions; he felt something amiss about
Millie's sudden unreachability.
“I'LL send you an address,” Bruce assured him.
“If anything should befall her, you understand what awaits you,”
Marcus warned.
Bruce ended the call, trading his soiled coat for a fresh one. He approached the
window, surveying the surroundings outside, biding his time for the opportune
moment to escape and return Millie to safety.
An indeterminate time later, Millie was startled by the sound of the lock turning.
Who could it be?
The room was chilled, devoid of any airflow, and she instinctively retreated to a
corner, fear gripping her.
As Bruce entered, he found Millie cowering, her face pale and arms wrapped
tightly around herself.
A pang of guilt struck him as he knew she must be terrified.

Upon recognizing Bruce, Millie's fear somewhat abated. She quickly approached
him, declaring, “l want to leave this place.”
Hidden in the depths of the forest, this location was virtually impossible to
discover. Millie understood that escape would be her own responsibility.
Her regret for not having called Marcus while being pursued weighed heavily on
her. At that moment, Bruce seemed too composed, and she'd thought she could
elude capture, only to be brought to this perilous hideout.
“I'LL get you out of here. Come with me,” Bruce assured her.
Navigating the maze-like forest, stumbling and falling more than once, Bruce
finally guided Millie to the main road.
Breathless and coated in grime, Millie glanced back at the entangled forest, her
unease Lingering.
“Why help me escape? Those are your allies,” she questioned, baffled by his
actions.
