With a nod, Bryson sent a quick text to their comrades upstairs before turning back to Hannah.
Hannah cast a disdainful glance at the fallen man. “Looks like your backup won’t be joining us.”
The man glared at her, unable to move. “You’ve sealed your fate. The boss won’t forgive this.”
Ignoring his empty threats, Hannah gestured to Dotson and the others.
“Release them from the cages.”
She crouched down, swiftly retrieving the keys from the man’s pocket before tossing them to Dotson.

Without hesitation, Dotson and the others rushed to unlock the cages nearby.
Meanwhile, Hannah stepped aside to examine Charlie’s injured shin, her brow furrowing with concern. “Charlie, you’re in bad shape. We need to get you to the hospital as soon as we’re out of here.”
Charlie waved off her concern. “No, Miss Moore. My leg is fine. We need to focus on our next move.”
“I’m a doctor, Charlie. I’ll decide what’s best for you,” Hannah insisted firmly.
Bryson inspected Charlie’s wound and turned to Kohen. “Your men are waiting outside, correct?”
“Yes, they’re on standby. If anything goes down, they’ll surround Jade Paradise,” Kohen confirmed.
“Good.” Bryson placed a reassuring hand on Kohen’s shoulder. “There’s nothing more we can do here. Charlie needs immediate medical attention. Take him to the hospital.”
Kohen looked at Charlie. “Can you walk?”
Charlie winced in pain but managed a nod. “I think so…”
Before he could finish, Kohen scooped him up onto his back. “Just show me the way. We’ll get you out.”
Once the women were freed, they followed Hannah and the others cautiously.
Dotson surveyed the mess around him. “Boss, what about these girls? Should we take them along?”
Hannah shook her head decisively. “That’s not our concern. Let the authorities handle them.”
Just then, Bryson checked his phone. “Our ride’s here. Let’s move.”
They hurried toward the exit, but a frightened woman caught up with them. “Can you take us with you?”
Hannah paused, looking back at the terrified women behind them. They seemed to expect something from her.
She retraced her steps, picking up a discarded pistol from the floor.
The woman backed away nervously as Hannah approached.
