Maggie had no idea about the commotion that was taking place outside the warehouse. She was more focused on getting out alive, and finally, after what felt like eternity, she descended the last step. "Phew," She wiped her sweat off her forehead and patted her heart, pleased at making it till here without getting caught.

Unlike the stairways that had automatic sensor lights, the room she had entered was quite dark, and she had to use her phone's torch to see her footsteps. Maggie had no idea where she was, and she had to rely on her senses to stay alert. There was a musty smell in the room, but Maggie remained unfazed by the suffocating smell.

"Now, where should I go next?" She pondered, waving the phone before her, seeking to find any way that could show her the path out. To her dismay, she could not find any door that could help her leave the room. It was as though the room had no doors at all, in the first place. Also, there were no hidden glass walls too to test her luck once again. So, Maggie could only search the room thoroughly once again.

"What the heck was Jared thinking when he planned this room? How am I supposed to get out of the damn place." She kicked the wall in front of her in anger, only for the wall to spring back with a loud noise. The sudden disturbance spooked the hell out of the girl, and Maggie stared at the door with her jaws dropped and eyes wide.

"What the hell was that?" Maggie kicked the wall once again, this time softly, and once again she heard the sound of hollow wood. Pleased with her discovery, Maggie tapped on the wooden wall, searching for a way to open it. To her luck, she stumbled upon a knob at the side, hidden at a spot difficult to find. As soon as she twisted the knob, the door opened, and Maggie saw the night sky embracing her with open arms. She jumped in happiness and cried tears of joy, celebrating her sheer luck.

"Finally, I am free." Not wasting another moment in the hell hole, she dashed out of the room, making sure to keep an eye on her surroundings. Maggie frowned finding herself in a strange area as she attempted to recollect the structure of the warehouse. She knew the place better than anybody else, as she had memorized it, ready to escape the disgusting place, when her time of stay was over. She knew every nook and corner in and around the warehouse except one area, and that was where she was standing right now. 'As far as I know, I have covered almost every spot in the warehouse except one.'

Maggie remembered how Jared had prohibited his gang members from taking a step in the southwestern direction. 'Oh, so this is what Jared was hiding from us.' Maggie shook her head, doubting the man's intelligence. 'He is dumber than I assumed him to be.'

'I need to find a place to hide. I am sure Jared would be coming for me soon.' Maggie then looked around for a place to hide from the monster, who was out to capture her. Unlike the previous warehouse, which was surrounded by barren land on all sides, the current warehouse was surrounded by trees. Maggie climbed a tree not far away from the warehouse, her fully black attire camouflaging her with her surroundings. Now, all she had to do was wait for Joshua's signal.

Right at this moment, she heard gunshots and explosions, and Maggie darted her eyes around her, perplexed by the commotion. It did not take long for her to realize who was responsible for the uproar. 'Joshua?' She wondered. 'It has to be him. How did he make it here this fast? How?' She racked her brain trying to find an answer. However, she could not settle for any possibility, completely forgetting the man's status and power. It had slipped past her mind that the man owned a chopper, and he had a separate travel route for himself.

While she was still pondering over the probability, Maggie saw a very frustrated and furious Jared hurrying from the other side of the ground towards the warehouse, and she chuckled seeing his state. She had made sure to close the door after her to mislead Jared, and just as she had hoped, the man took the bait and went inside the building.

Taking this opportunity as her cue, Maggie jumped down the tree and left the spot, shifting closer towards the entrance gates from where the gunshots were heard. She made sure to stay concealed from her enemies' eyes, walking behind the trees and using the darkness to her advantage, keeping her weapon ready in case someone were to see her. And just as she had feared, she came face to face with Jared's assistant, who was directing orders to the gang in his Master's absence.

After barking out the orders at the gang, he had taken a detour, instead of taking the main path to the warehouse, only to find Maggie sneaking around in hopes of getting away. "Maggie," He pointed his gun at her, hatred bursting through his veins. What he hated the most was when people crossed his Master and Maggie had done just the same. She had not only deceived him and shared details of his crimes with other people, she had even escaped from his clutches, successfully making out till here.

The ever-loyal assistant glowered at her in anger. But Maggie too did not back off. She too pointed her gun at him, the two people having a face-off in the midst of a huge chaos. Maggie's hawk-like eyes did not miss his calculative moves while he unlocked his gun secretly. He was preparing to attack her. 'Do you think I would wait for you to attack me first? Huh? In your dreams.' She scoffed, and without any hesitation pulled the trigger, aiming her gun at his chest.

The man stared at her in horror, the bullet piercing through his body. Pain spread through his body like fire, and he dropped to his knees, lowering his guard for the second time, and Maggie fired another bullet instantly, hitting him in the neck. Blood started to trickle down, and he did not even have the time to comprehend what had happened. His eyes rolled back, and he fell dead at once.

"One down. Let's see how many more to go."
