The narrow corridor echoed with the faint, rhythmic dripping of water somewhere deep within the bowels of the skyscraper.

She pressed her back hard against the damp brick wall, holding her breath and extinguishing her flashlight.
A tall figure flashed past the opening of the cross-corridor, holding a glowing tablet in one hand.
