chapter50 Escape

On the phone, there was this loud buzzing noise, but Scarlett still caught Asher's four words loud and clear. Couldn't quite make out the rest amidst all the wind and chaos, then it just went "click" as the call ended. She tried calling back, but no luck.

"Scarlett, get outta there!" As Scarlett mulled over Asher's words, it hit her like a ton of bricks. There was only one explanation for this mess: something had happened to Asher.

Scarlett's heart sank. What could've gone down with Asher? What was gonna happen to him? He was urging her to flee so urgently. She relied on him for survival, so what about her...

Scarlett didn't waste a second. Was about to head downstairs when it hit her. She dashed to Asher's room, straight into the study. With a swift move, she yanked open the drawer, grabbed the gun, hastily snatched a few mags, and bolted downstairs.
