Ethan's eyes locked onto Anna's, and he mouthed a single word: "Run."
Anna didn't hesitate. She jumped off the motorcycle and took off, sprinting down a nearby alleyway.
She heard Ethan's footsteps behind her, and the sound of the armed men closing in.
As they ran, Anna saw a glimmer of hope. A subway entrance loomed ahead, and she sprinted towards it.
They burst through the gates, and Anna saw the train pulling into the station. They sprinted towards it, their footsteps echoing off the walls.
The doors were closing, but Ethan pushed Anna inside just in time. They collapsed onto the seats, panting heavily.
As the train pulled out of the station, Anna looked out the window. The armed men were standing on the platform, their faces twisted with anger...
And then, Anna saw a figure standing behind them. A figure she knew all too well. Her mother. But why was she there? And what did she want?
