Not wasting a moment after the strange masked individual left, Sang quickly gathered herself and bolted left down the hospital corridor, the opposite way to which the stranger had just left. Her shoes smacked the linoleum floor as she ran, gathering speed - she had to get out of there before she was noticed. She didn't have the luxury of being stealthy, she had no time at all in fact. As she neared an exit, she saw a sign stating that she was on the third floor. There were a set of white doors and also an elevator. Sang decided to go with the stairs as the elevator was too risky, particularly if someone was watching her on the hospital cameras. Shoving the doors open, she pounded down the stairs. She was almost on the ground floor, feeling out of breath. She panted as her shoulder pulsed with almost unbearable pain. Sang bent over at the bottom of the last staircase with her hands on her shaking knees, trying to breathe normally. It was hard to run after you'd been hospitalised and immobile for so long. Sang knew she was taking an incredible risk trying to escape the hospital, but it was simply one she'd have to take if she wanted to prevent getting found out. Directly in front of Sang were another set of white doors that she tentatively opened them, only to find a small waiting room for the physiotherapy department. There were two people sitting on blue plastic chairs, thankfully facing away from her. She tiptoed to a door on the right and quietly left the room. She'd have to be careful with who she encountered because this hospital belonged to The Academy and someone could easily tattle on her to the guys. After ten more minutes of searching, Sang was nearing the entrance of the hospital when she heard some voices coming from a nearby operation room.
"Gabe? Gabe, Look at us... come on dude, Nathan is right." Sang identified the voice as Luke.
"I'm just...ugh," began Gabriel, "I'll go up to see her in a sec I need to do it in a way that won't make her get suspicious."
"That's what we're saying! Just go up and talk to her, be yourself." Replied Luke.
"Fine, but if she doesn't tell me anything this isn't on me."
"Of course it won't be," spoke Owen coolly, "If she doesn't co-operate I'll talk to her myself. We need to be frank and let her know it's not on," he ended. There were a few murmurs Sang couldn't really comprehend but it sounded as if the rest of the team were agreeing with Owen's approach. They were coming to get her. Sang sprinted towards the entrance of the hospital, not caring if anyone could hear her running. Just as she made it through the automatic doors, she heard shouts behind her.
"She's escaping!" someone exclaimed.
"Get her! Bring her back. What is she doing?" bellowed another.
"Sang! What the hell! Where are you going?!" It was Gabriel.
Sang's heart pounded in her chest both out of fear and exhaustion. She ignored the shouts and raced her way out of the hospital towards a parking lot from which she'd be able to get to the main road. The sound of footsteps running after her was becoming louder. The whole team were chasing after her, no doubt. She must've looked like a right sight, wearing a skimpy hospital gown that barely reached her knees her hair blowing every which way. There was a small alleyway between two buildings, which were offshoots of the main hospital. Sang ducked in, grateful that it wasn't a dead end. A chorus of 'Sang!'s and 'Come back, we're not going to hurt you!' rung out as they chased after her. Sang knew she couldn't go back or allow herself to get caught. Running through the alley, she saw a car pull up at the side of the main road and ran towards it. She didn't care who it was. She just needed to get away from the hospital as fast as possible. The driver's side window rolled down and she was graced with the familiar sight of the stranger with the white mask.
"Get in. Hurry," spoke the distorted voice of the person behind the mask. Sang knew getting into the car with this person probably wasn't the best idea, but she had ran out of options. Scrambling to the other side of the car she ripped open the door and jumped in.
"We need to go, quick!" she cried, fumbling with her seatbelt. Needing no further instruction, the masked stranger floored the gas pedal and the car screeched as it sped down the road. Looking back, Sang saw Gabriel, a look of utter shock on his face; she saw similar expressions painted on the faces of Luke, North, Victor, Nathan and Sean. Owen, however, stared after the car, his face expressionless. Something fluttered in Sang's heart at the distraught sight of the guys' faces but she inwardly breathed a sigh of relief as they became smaller and smaller until she couldn't see them at all. That relief was short-lived however, as she realised she was in another predicament now. Sang was in a car with a complete stranger wearing a mask. If the person did anything to her she wouldn't even be able to report them...she had no idea who they were. The person had no identifiable features, as they dressed in nondescript black clothing, with not only a mask but also a voice distorter. Whoever this was, they had gone through great extents to keep their identity hidden. Sang was in trouble. Again.
