Alaric was lying on the ground, fighting the drugs Ariana injected on his neck. He was controlling his breathing and tried his best to stay awake.
Slowly, he tried lifting his body to a sitting position. Still breathing fast as if he just reached the finished line from a 100m sprint running race. Rubbing his neck, he took few deep breaths. Very deep breaths.
While with his eyes closed, he could hear the sound of bodies falling on the ground, gunshots, shouting of men giving orders and the sound of passersby screaming for help.
All the while, he was locating one voice. Ariana's sweet voice. He was trying to locate her with his sense of smell.
When his mind was back to normal, he opened his eyes wide, "Found you".

"Nova! Alert the Agent. Dante down. Sent them the footage of his dead body I took earlier. Now, show me the way to the safe house" Ariana was running as fast as she could, following the navigation shown inside the mirror of her glasses.
