Matt head in the opposite direction just a few steps before hearing the heels gaining on him. He laughed to himself, this will be too easy, you can't run in heels. But he didn't consider what happened next. He heard the shoes being thrown to the side. Ew... he thought, she is walking barefoot in a sewer!
But as unexpected that was, he never thought this would happen.
"Wait!", said the scientist. Matt weighed his chances, calculated the high probability that this was a cheap trick, then realized that in order to be moving as fast as she was, she was not carrying any unneeded weight. This meant... No Weapons! He knew that considering her physical fatigue by now, he could easily win if it came to tooth and nail. So he came to a halt.
"I'm on your side," she said, between heavy breathing.
"Dr. Devon, he is treating you like caged animals, it is just inhumane!", she said with growing courage.
"Duh", Matt said condescendingly, "What, have you been living under a rock all this time! I was *this close* from filing a complaint to the ASPCA!",. Then, she laughed. But it wasn't a forced cold fake laugh, like he would of thought. But a warm, genuine... Snort? This was enough to completely throw Matt off, throwing any suspicions away. The sound of a gunshot rung through the sewers, and it was followed by a shriek of pain. The scientist's face went pale.
"Oh, no, we're too late," Matt felt his own legs moving without his consent towards the sound. The scene that followed made him want to throw up.
