She had to escape to see Holden again.
Adrian seemed to harbor the same resolve. Let me give it a try. Maybe Luck is on our side today, he suggested with a hint of hope.
Ariana nodded, and Adrian approached the keypad, his fingers dancing across the keys with urgency.
Each beep escalated Arianas anxiety, making her heart race.
When Adrian finally pressed the enter key, a shrill alarm shattered the tense silence.
The sound was Like an ominous omen, signaling their apparent failure and threatening to doom them to a grim fate.
Both Ariana and Adrian recoiled at the alarm, but Adrian was quick to respond. He shouted over the relentless noise to Ariana, This is terrible! That alarm will surely draw the scientist here in no time. We need to find a hiding place now!
Ariana and Adrian were crouched behind a large potted plant, half-expecting the loud alarm to summon the mad scientist or activate some sort of weapon.
However, nothing happened, even after the alarm ceased. Adrian and Ariana remained in their hiding spot, cautious of the possibility that the scientist might enter at any moment.
After a significant wait with no appearance of the scientist, they allowed themselves to relax slightly.
That was way too close. I thought we were done for, Adrian said, wiping sweat from his forehead.
While Adrian appeared to completely lower his guard, Ariana still seemed worried. She was frowning at the now silent alarm.

Whats wrong? Adrian asked, noticing her expression.

Adrians face grew serious upon seeing Arianas concerned look. I dont know much about him. I only saw him briefly when he caught me last night.
A nagging worry began to creep up on Ariana.
Lets not dwell on this right now, she suggested, gesturing dismissively. Our priority is to find a way out.
Adrian nodded in agreement.
They approached the keypad again. Adrian attempted the code once more but failed, setting off the alarm, which blared even louder than before, causing them to wince and cover their ears.
Hide! Ariana pulled Adrian away.
The scientist had not appeared after the initial alarm, yet it was uncertain if he would neglect this one.
After what felt like an eternity, the alarm finally ceased. Ariana, who had been crouching, stumbled backward, but Adrian caught her just in time.
Are you okay? Adrian asked, his tone laced with concern.
Yeah, Im okay, Ariana replied, though she didnt feel so good.
