Chapter 11: The Escape

Ishan and Raha knew they had to act fast. They were surrounded by the scientists and agents, and they had to find a way out.

"Come on," Ishan whispered, grabbing Raha's hand. "We have to get out of here."

Raha nodded, her eyes scanning the room for any sign of escape. They were in a large laboratory, with rows of workstations and equipment. There were several doors leading out of the room, but they were all guarded by agents.

Ishan pulled Raha towards one of the doors, but as they approached, an agent stepped forward, blocking their way.

"You're not going anywhere," the agent sneered.

Ishan's eyes narrowed. He knew they had to think fast. He looked around the room, taking in the equipment and the layout. And then, he spotted it - a fire alarm on the wall.

Without hesitation, Ishan pulled the fire alarm, and the room was filled with the sound of sirens. The agents and scientists were caught off guard, and they stumbled around, trying to respond to the alarm.

Ishan and Raha took advantage of the chaos. They pushed past the agents and made a run for the door. They burst through it, and found themselves in a long corridor.

"Which way?" Raha asked, looking around frantically.

Ishan didn't hesitate. "This way," he said, pulling Raha down the corridor.

They ran as fast as they could, their footsteps echoing off the walls. They could hear the agents and scientists behind them, shouting and chasing after them.

But Ishan and Raha didn't look back. They kept running, their hearts pounding in their chests. They knew they had to get out of the facility, and fast.

As they turned a corner, Ishan spotted a sign that read "Emergency Exit". He pulled Raha towards it, and they burst through the door.

They found themselves outside, gasping in the fresh air. They looked around, taking in their surroundings. They were in a deserted alleyway, with tall buildings looming above them.

Ishan and Raha looked at each other, their eyes locked in a moment of triumph. They had escaped.

But as they stood there, catching their breath, Ishan's eyes narrowed. He knew they weren't safe yet. The agents and scientists would be looking for them, and they would stop at nothing to catch them.

"We have to keep moving," Ishan said, his voice low and urgent.

Raha nodded, her eyes scanning the alleyway. "Where can we go?" she asked.

Ishan thought for a moment. And then, he smiled. "I know a place," he said.
