Chapter 3: The Exit
The night air felt unreal.
Evelyn stepped out of a concealed hatch behind the facility, the cold metal door sealing quietly behind her. Snow fell lightly, dusting the ground in silence.
For a moment, she just stood there.
Breathing.

In the distance, sirens began to rise—faint at first, then growing. She had triggered the anonymous alert minutes ago. Authorities would find the facility.

Evelyn pulled off her gloves, staring at her hands—not shaking anymore.

The driver’s window rolled down.
A woman inside—calm, composed—met Evelyn’s eyes.
