As the door slammed shut behind the man who had saved them, Emily turned to Ethan. Her heart was pounding in her chest, and she knew that they had narrowly escaped another dangerous situation.

"Are you okay?" Ethan asked, his voice laced with concern.

Emily nodded, but she couldn't shake the feeling that they weren't safe. "We need to leave," she said.

Ethan's eyes widened in surprise. "What do you mean?" he asked.

"I mean we need to go away," Emily said. "Somewhere Evan won't find us."
