"Good" Karan took a deep breath and counted the numbers. When he said three, they ran together.

They ran down that dark alley that seemed never to end. At last, they came out on a street. Priyanka was out of breath. She checked her phone for service but there was none.

"Now, take a deep breath," he said. She did and he continued "You have to get hold of your nerves very well. Be sure you stay quiet no matter what happens. If you want to talk to me, it must be in a very low tone or by touching and body movement" He patted her arms assuredly. "Are you afraid, my love?" he added.

Unlike her, Karan was surprisingly cool. His eyes were steady as well as his body and voice.

"I'm just tired" She lied. Her voice was steady and it surprised her.
