She bowed her head, not daring to breathe too loudly.
As they drew closer to the elevator, suddenly a doctor ran out and shouted, "The patient in Room 402 has escaped!"
The patrolling special forces immediately dispersed to search.
Mark Reed abruptly grabbed Claudia Ross's hand and quickened his pace toward the elevator.
"Over here!" A special forces soldier spotted the hospital gown under Claudia Ross's lab coat and immediately charged over.
The elevator was within reach, but they were blocked by the special forces and could not get inside.
In the blink of an eye, countless guns were pointed at them, their safeties clicking off. If they resisted, the special forces would fire.
"Don't hurt her!" Mark Reed raised his hands and shielded Claudia Ross behind him.
With a gesture from the special forces captain, the soldiers swarmed forward and separated Mark Reed from Claudia Ross.
