The main entrance must have been locked by now. She decided to go down to the underground floor, pass through the underground parking lot, and leave from the other exit.

The corridor leading to the elevator was dimly lit. One of the lights kept flickering. Ariana felt the temperature become colder than normal. The hairs on her body stood up. It was as if someone was following her.

Ariana thought of Lynch. Her heart began to pound.

She trotted into the elevator and held her breath until she arrived at the parking lot.

A few cars were still parked here, so Ariana relaxed a bit. She was walking in the middle when the revving sound of an engine pierced the quiet atmosphere.
