RUN
She ran. She made it. But who let Lena in?
Forty yards of open street, and now they can hear you. Something grabs your bag and the water is gone. Six floors up in the dark, the chain on 6B is broken, and a stranger called Lena is holding Theo. The seventh floor is overrun, her car has a full tank, and back at the pharmacy Marcus stops shaking.

The road not taken · CA trap the audience could see coming. Marcus had already turned, and the pharmacy radio was still on, with a message meant for Riley.
