She will die

An exasperated sigh can be heard in the dark alley, she looks around and still can't see anything that could help her identify where the hell is she. Her mouth gasps as she tasted the blood between her lips due to her excessive biting. "It really doesn't taste good," she commented as she continues to crawl on the ground while holding her laptop.

"What?" she straightened her back immediately as she touches a cold thing in front of her, her breath halted as she didn't try to move, she roams her eyes without moving her head. Her eyes blink confusedly after a few minutes of not moving, she slowly lifts her hand and touches again the cold thing in front of her.

"Ha" a scoffed escapes her mouth and a snickering smile appear in it "This railing!" she hissed in a low voice as she moves her hand to touch the side of it, "Ha" she sighs in relief when she touches the cold railings, moving her knees to walk to the left.

The woman's hazel eyes were bright and round in the darkness, filled with chagrin and anger that were burned and ignited the moment her fingertips touched the cold wall.

As a person who could be patient in any circumstances, could not contain her anger as she aggressively sways her hands towards the railings, and the ring her forefinger made a 'clink' sound that echoes on the hallway.

Retracting her hands immediately and curses on her mind as she consciously looks around, after a few seconds and nothing happened, she goes back in the direction she comes from. Slowly following the cold railings with her hands.

A smile forms on her face as her hands touch the air, she consciously sits on the floor and extended her foot forward, as feel the stairs.

Her eyes curiously look down in the darkness in front of her as her foot set on the first step of the stairs, "Is it deep? Will I die if I miss a step and rolls down the stairs?" she mumbles as she moves her other foot stepping another step while her butt was still touching the floor, and her right hand was grasping the railings.

Her hands start to sweat, knowing that she can't see anything, doesn't know what is waiting for her in the next steps.

Claude's fingers were still typing onto the keyboard nonstop his eyes were darting to the tons of numbers in front of him, his hands abruptly stop, when Pro shouted, "She will crack her head and die!"

His gaze flies from the monitor that has tons of numbers to the monitor showing the back of a woman slowly descending the stairs, comically. His eyebrows knitted looking at the scene in front of him, "What is her problem? Is she executing all of the actions of her characters?" his head tilted. "She's really," he mumbles shaking his head and moves his gaze back to his main monitor.

His fingers were about to start tons of codes when Pro interrupted him again, shouting. "She will die! Rest in peace, Adelia"

"Pro!" he shouted as he looks at his right monitor showing a girl embracing the railing of the stairs as her back moves up and down, showing her heavy breathing. He massages his temples, looking at the woman in the monitor intently, "Does she think she's in an action movie?"

"Oh, she did not die" Pro mumbles, as he manipulates the monitor zooming into the woman in the stairs who continues to descend on the stairs.

"Don't bother me unless she got hurt. Monitor her," he says, and he goes back to his business tracking down the chip he planted on him, as well as searching for the next target. His eyes sharpened when he saw the four candidates appear on his screen, while he does some investigation on them his hand moves to the container of his lollipops while the others was still typing random codes.

The moment her foot can't feel another step going downstairs, her eyes brightened "I'm really good at this" a proud smile was plastered on her face, but the moment she looks around darkness welcomes her. "What the hell?" she mumbles as she heightened her senses, trying to feel if there is a living person aside from her. Her eyebrow rises after a few minutes as she tries to stand, but the pain in her foot struck her. "This fucking sprain" she gritted her teeth.

After a few minutes of circulating around the area, she touches a cold metal door, a smile forms on her lips as she holds the handle and twisted it.

Her eyes brightened with the dim light in front of her "Finally" she said with a sigh when she saw the dim light of the corridor. Her eyebrows scrunch as she looks at the elevator steps away from her, "I'm not that stupid" a mocking smile can be seen on her face as she walks in the opposite direction completely shutting the door of darkness behind her. She hissed in pain every time, her sprained foot was used to walk but she continues to walk towards the door that was labeled as 'Emergency Exit'.

"Um" Pro hummed as he zooms the monitor showing a woman walking outside of the building.

"Shut up" Claude's eyes were dark and cold as he looks at the monitor "Why is this fucking slow," he speeds up on typing a series of codes, trying to destroy the firewall. His jaw tightened as he spits out the stick of the lollipop, as his fingers start to type on their maximum level, the moment his fingers hit the enter button, a bunch of string of codes appears on his monitor, a smile escapes on his lips as he leans back onto his chair, "Finally" he mumbles as he moves his gaze on his right monitor "What acrobat is she doing now?"

His eyebrows knitted as he saw the scene of a busy city "Pro?!" he exclaimed.
