Surrender!

After the voice shouted, Alex realized they weren't chasing him, and he abruptly halted.

He circled back to them, making sure to remain unseen, trying to figure out where they were going, and he saw what had happened in the first hallway.

The gunshot echoed, and Alex's face darkened.

'So this is the kind of leader you are. They could get caught, so you kill them? I guess I was trying to be nice to the wrong people…' he thought, his body shaking in anger.

'Yes! Get mad! Let me at him! He's a bad guy, right?! There is no harm in letting me rip his innards out, right?!' the imp shouted in his mind, apparently having freed his mouth from the bindings.

Geminae was about to strike his face to silence him, but Alex suddenly appeared in the soul space.

The imp shivered in fear at the anger apparent on Alex's face. He thought he had suddenly messed up.
