254 The Most Unlikely

What?!

All happened too fast and Scar is not even coming around. Her body is moving before her mind catches up. Her legs could barely keep up with his pace. All she knows is, that Sebastian is holding her hands tight in his palm, his palm warm and firm. "Careful!" Sebastian kicks open the back door of the warehouse, blocking the rebound of the door as he shouts at Scar, "This way!"

They turn left right after they dash out of the door even though the door is open to a huge yard.

Why? They might have guns? Scar finds it funny that her brain is full of a bunch of useless nonsense, but it can't process what's going on or what to do next when she tries.

"Do you think you can climb over the wall if I get you on my shoulder? Scar?!"

It's only when Sebastian's shout pulls her flowing mind back that she realizes he already led her down to the wall of the yard. She can't. The wall is over four meters. Even a ninja couldn't climb over a smooth concete wall like this.

"I can't! I'm sorry!" Scar blurts, almost in tears. The rapid run finally leads out the panic stuffing in her chest. If she hadn't been afraid before because the danger hadn't landed yet, it has caught up with her after the chase. "It's okay, this way!" Sebastian pushes her into a door on the left side of the yard.

They are in an abandoned plant of some sort. A huge machine in the middle of the room with a long assembly line attached to it. Deserted. Broken parts and furniture lying around them.

"Watch your feet," Sebastian warns as they walk deeper into the stomach of the room, "We can't turn on the light, even if it's still working--"

A despicable who would put you in such danger just to play the hero?!" "Because YOU acted super suspicious!"
