Jack pulled Emma through the winding streets, his eyes scanning the crowds. They finally stopped at a nondescript building, where Jack produced a key and unlocked the door.
Inside, the room was sparse, with only a few pieces of furniture. But Emma's eyes landed on a small laptop, open on the table.
"What's this?" Emma asked, her curiosity piqued.
Jack hesitated before answering. "It's a safehouse. A place to lay low for a while."
Emma's eyes narrowed. "And the laptop?"
Jack sighed. "That's how I've been staying one step ahead of them. I've been tracking their movements, anticipating their next step."
Emma's mind reeled as she realized the extent of Jack's secrets. But before she could ask more questions, the laptop beeped, signaling an incoming message.
Jack's eyes locked on the screen, his expression grim. "It's from an unknown sender," he muttered. "But the message is clear: they know where we are."
