Chapter 11 - Masked Intruder Confronts Riley Near The Balcony Glass
Trapped inside the dark corridor, Riley heard the heavy thud of the secret door slamming shut from the outside.
She turned around and sprinted back toward the exit, slamming her fists against the wooden paneling in frustration.
“Hey! Let me out of here!” Riley shouted, her voice echoing down the narrow, claustrophobic concrete walls.
Suddenly, a heavy hand clamped firmly over her mouth from behind, cutting off her cries in an instant.
A masked operative dressed in tactical black gear dragged her backward into the shadows of a intersecting utility shaft.
Riley struggled fiercely, driving her elbow backward into the assailant’s ribs with all her remaining strength.
The operative grunted in pain, loosening his grip just enough for Riley to slip out of his grasp and stumble forward.
She turned on her flashlight, sweeping the beam across the concrete floor to find a way out of the labyrinth.
The masked man lunged forward again, pinning her against the wall as the glass balcony door of the utility room shattered.
