How did you even hide that in your shoe?

I stay behind her, holding my phone in my hand.

sneaks towards the hallway, scanning each room they pass Keep an eye out for any guards or threats.
We walk through the hallway.
spots a guard approaching Stay low and be ready to move. We can't afford to be caught. grabs the guard's arm and swiftly twists it behind his back
Oh my god, Katherine! Are you okay?!

stands up straight, dusting off her clothes Don't worry about me. I can handle myself. Now let's keep moving. We're almost out of here.
We continue to walk. Where are we going to go after we get out of here?

Marcus is an old friend who works in the underground. He's got connections and knows how to keep things discreet.
So he's aware that you're famous?

And you're sure he'd help us?
snaps her fingers Positive. Marcus has always been a fan of mine. He'll do whatever it takes to keep me safe because he knows I'm a valuable asset.
