The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Suddenly, a piercing alarm rang out, echoing from the second basement all the way through every corner of the research building, loud enough to make anyone's ears ring. As soon as the alarm went off, the whole place lit up like a Christmas tree, and the level-one security protocol kicked in automatically!

Nick, who was just about to reach the safety door, froze and turned back. The overhead surveillance cameras whirred back to life, their lenses started spinning slowly, the sound of infrared scanning mixing with the noise of the alarm.
