Hitori felt like throwing up on her, but his stomach was empty, and he would not vomit blood, that was for sure. He grabbed the girl's hand and ran into the hallway. The guard chasing Hitori shouted, "Hitori, stop!"
But he ran. The girl resisted his grip and tried to stop running, but he knew if she stopped she would trip and he would drag her if he has to. "I am sorry," he said, "just keep up with me."
She gulped and tried to calm her heart, she somehow found her voice and said, "Are you a thief? Why are you running? Are you taking me as a hostage?"
Hitori saw a turn. Left and right. Should he ask her the way to the exit? What if she sets him up by telling him the wrong way? So he trusted his guts instead of the girl.
Hitori took the left turn, thinking it might be the closest way to the back door.
