Everything happened so quickly, before she knew it there was a loud explosion, then Eli had thrown her into Hollywood before disappearing out the door into a smoke filled corridor. She was about to go after Eli when Hollywood grabbed her hand and yelled, "Come on!"
Together they flew out the door into the nearly zero visibility of the hallway and they ran down the corridor until they arrived at the staircase leading upstairs.
Before they mounted the stairs, Scarlett cleared her throat above yelling they could hear upstairs, along with the constant blaring noise of fire alarms echoing through the Midnight Society.
"Hollywood," Scarlett said firmly. "If the walls are breached upstairs, its dawn. There will be sunlight and police and fire will be descending on this building. We need to find the prince and get out of here. This is not going to be a safe place for any vampire in a matter of minutes."
(Hollywood)
Hollywood nodded to Scarlett, "Okay, you head to where you last left the Prince. I will head to the armory and see what is happening there. We will meet in the basement." With that, Hollywood headed left leaving Scarlett standing in the hall.
Once she was out of view of Scarlett, Hollywood headed towards another stairwell that headed up to the first floor. She knew she would be able to avoid the daylight. Once up the stairs she headed across the main floor to the south side of building.
As she did, she could see Diego leading the Prince towards the stairs that would lead to the basement. She gave her old friend a nod before headed down the opposite stairs. She knew that Diego would get the Prince to safety, and then make his own way out. This was his chance to be free and she knew he would take it and find her later.
She headed down the stairs to a gate that lead into the tunnels under the city. She looked around to ensure no one saw her and then entered the tunnels, closing the gate behind her and heading off away from the Midnight Society. She hoped that Scarlett would be alright and she knew that she would protect the Prince. For now, Hollywood had to find Ari and together they could find Eli.
