Only when Lorenzos features were beyond recognition did Katie finally cease. She leaned close, caressing the ruined face with a twisted affection, her laughter chilling. Look how much better you appear now You really should have practiced more she muttered to herself, a clear break from sanity evident in her voice.
She crawled to retrieve a small, elegant pistol and then shakily rose to her feet. Hide well. Im coming to find you all. She cackled, her laughter haunting the corridor.
Meanwhile, Raegan didnt dare to slow down. She hastened her steps toward the elevator. Taking the stairs was not an option, given her physical condition compared to her pursuer. The elevator was a risk, but her only viable escape.
