Chapter 45

I looked away, trying to process my emotions. We walked in silence for a few minutes.

"Where are we headed now?" I asked, breaking the silence.

"A safe house," Damian replied. "We need to analyze the documents and plan our next move."

As we walked, I couldn't shake off the feeling that we were being watched.

"Damian, I think we're being followed again."

Damian's eyes scanned the surroundings. "I don't see anyone."

But I knew what I felt. We quickened our pace.

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows.

"Maya!" I exclaimed, relieved.

"Emily, Damian," Maya said, her voice urgent. "We need to get out of here. Now."

"What's happening?" Damian asked.

"The Shadowhand Clan has alerted their entire network," Maya replied. "We have to go underground."

We followed Maya through the winding streets, our senses on high alert.
