Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

Josh Batton carried Annabeth Cates and quickly ran down the escalator right when the people behind them had already recognized them, screaming as they chased after them. "Josh, don't leave! We love you!"

"We love you, Josh! Ahh! Wait, Josh!"

"Josh! Josh!"

"Josh Batton? It's Josh Batton!"

With screams erupting all around them, people on the first floor began to notice and started joining the crowd who ran after them.

Josh had encountered something like this countless times.

He remained calm and continued running out of the mall with Annabeth in his arms.

She could see the crowd charging toward them like a swarm of flies. They were about to be surrounded by a shockingly large number of people. "They're catching up! We have to hurry," she exclaimed, clutching Josh tightly.

In front of them, several people who had just walked through the entrance started to notice them as well and ran frantically toward them. Fortunately, there weren't as many people.
