Ill take you through the secret path.

He cast another wary glance at the door, his posture rigid, ready for anything.

Allison nodded, playing along.

Okay.

Trailing behind him, they reached the elevator entrance.

While they were hiding, she had tuned into the faintest noises outside.

The moment Jareths voice broke the silence, the shuffling feet outside paused they didnt retreat.

The truth was crystal clear those men had heard them.

Without a word, she seized Jareths arm, and they bolted downstairs.

Just as they reached the landing, the fire door exploded open with a resounding bang! Someone must be here! shouted the men in black, unleashing a barrage of bullets into the dark elevator shaft.

Bang! .
