Charlotte had taken the opportunity to storm out of the room as soon as Margaret opened the door, but then the next thing she heard while entering the hallway made her freeze.
Full lockdown...
It meant that she wouldn't be able to get out.
Seeing that the Shadow Mask only had less than a minute left, she quickly ignored the fact that her sounds could be noticed as she ran towards the exit.
Unfortunately for her, the door was already shut and sealed, and she spotted four armed men rushing in her direction.
Thanks to the fact that the Shadow Mask was still effective at that point, they got past her without noticing, running towards the Satellite Access room.
Charlotte gasped roughly. For the first time since embarking on this mission, she had never been afraid because she believed in herself so well...
But now, her heart was caged with fear, uncertainty, and helplessness.
