They got off the car at the enormous parking lot and Alex felt relieved to see many parked vehicles. That meant people and crowds resulting to a much easier escpe for him.
Luke and Mikael started walking towards the escalators and soon they were at the first floor of the mall. He hadn't seen so many people in a while except for the dining hall. They were laughing and running around with their shopping bags going in and out from the shops or eating and drinking at the food stands. Watching this scene in front of him made him feel normal. Like he had just gone out with friends to grab a bite and shop.
