Chapter 15: “The Warning”

Olivia's heart was still racing from the mysterious phone call. Who was behind it, and what did they want?

Gavin's expression was grim. "We need to be careful," he said. "If someone knows about the file, they'll stop at nothing to get it."

Olivia nodded, her mind racing. They had to act fast, before it was too late.

As they made their way back to their hideout, Olivia couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched. She glanced around, but saw nothing out of the ordinary.

But the feeling persisted.

Suddenly, Gavin stopped in his tracks. "Wait," he said, his eyes locked onto something in the distance.

Olivia followed his gaze, and her heart skipped a beat. There, on the wall of a nearby building, was a message scrawled in red paint:

"Turn back now."

Olivia's eyes widened in shock. Who was behind this, and what did they want?

Gavin's expression was grim. "It's a warning," he said. "Someone is trying to scare us off."

Olivia nodded, her heart pounding in her chest. But she knew they couldn't back down now. They had to see this through.

"We can't let them intimidate us," Olivia said, her voice firm. "We have to keep going."

Gavin nodded, his eyes locked onto hers. "You're right," he said. "We can't back down now."

Together, they continued on their mission, more determined than ever to expose the corporation's secrets.

But as they walked, Olivia couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched, that unblinking eyes were trained on them from the shadows.

And she knew that they were in grave danger.

As they approached their hideout, Olivia noticed something strange. The door was slightly ajar, and she could have sworn she had closed it before they left.

Gavin noticed it too, and his expression turned grim. "Something's wrong," he said.

Olivia's heart skipped a beat as Gavin pushed open the door and stepped inside.

And then, everything went black.

Olivia's world was plunged into darkness, and she felt herself falling.

She tried to cry out, but her voice was muffled.

As she fell, Olivia's mind was racing. What was happening? Who was behind this?

And then, everything went silent.

Olivia's world was reduced to nothing but darkness and silence.

She was trapped, with no way out.

But then, suddenly, Olivia's world was filled with light.

She blinked, her eyes adjusting to the brightness.

And when she opened them again, she saw Gavin standing over her, his expression worried.

"Olivia, are you okay?" he asked, his voice shaking.

Olivia nodded, her mind still reeling. "What happened?" she asked.

Gavin helped her to her feet. "I don't know," he said. "I think someone must have knocked us out."

Olivia's eyes widened in shock. "Who?" she demanded.

Gavin shook his head. "I don't know," he said. "But we need to get out of here, now."

Olivia nodded, her heart pounding in her chest.

As they made their way out of the hideout, Olivia couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched.

And she knew that they were in grave danger.

They made their way back to the safety of their new hideout, a small apartment on the outskirts of town.

As they settled in, Olivia couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

Who was behind the mysterious phone call? And who had knocked them out?

And what did they want?

Olivia knew that they had to be careful.

They couldn't trust anyone.

As she settled in for the night, Olivia's mind was racing with questions.

But she knew that she wouldn't get any answers tonight.

As she drifted off to sleep, Olivia's last thought was of the mysterious message:

"Turn back now."

But it was too late.

They had already gone too far.

And now, there was no turning back.
