Lillian looked at the two stubborn guards, her gaze hardening. “Fine. If you want to throw your lives away, don’t blame me for being heartless.” With a flick of her wrist, a flash of blue light darted from her fingertips. Before they could even register what was happening, both men collapsed.

Stepping over their unconscious bodies, Lillian rantically searched them until she found the keycard. She swiped it, the door hissed open, and she sprinted inside to the cell where Leonard was being held.

“Lillian? What are you doing here?” Leonard asked, rising quickly as she burst in.

“There’s no time to explain,” she said breathlessly. “We have to go. The base is on fire, and it’ll reach this wing any minute. We need to leave now.”

Lillian glanced at the elevator and then back at the woman. “Lynette, I don’t have time for your games. You know exactly what’s happening. In five minutes, this entire floor will be an oven. If we don’t leave now, nobody gets out alive.”

Lynette’s eyes flashed with malice. “Leave? You’re quite the dreamer. I’ll tell you the truth- the boss ordered me to take care of you and the old man right here. Did you really think you were getting away? You’ve always been so arrogant; let’s see how that serves you now.” She
