Sneak attack

Sia swiftly got up from her seat and dashed towards the back door, while Rameez headed towards the front entrance directly bypassing Max. Max, determined to catch them, quickly recovered from the surprise and sprinted after them almost instantaneously.

But Sia and Rameez knew the area around this building very well, almost like the back of their hands. Max also understood this after seeing their calm movements, having already planned their escape route in advance in case the ambush failed.

In this situation they had a clear advantage over Max, who was unfamiliar with the neighborhood. They weaved through narrow alleyways, ducking into crowded streets to blend in with the bustling city.

Max chased them relentlessly, his instincts as a seasoned detective guiding his pursuit. He called Inspector Jolly for backup on his radio, alerting the nearby officers about the situation and providing a description of Sia and Rameez.
