"Ben! What have you done?" Irene was shocked to see Ben standing in front the big fire inside the prison cell.
"Revenge..." He mutters.
"What?" Irene turn to look at him.
"For my sister....She dies in the hand of Nebun Mother. Now, I will burn this place to the ground." There's no anger in his tone, but only despair and sorrow.

Irene tried to put out the big fire but all her efforts were in vain.
"It's no use. The fire is already spreading." Ben said as he looks upon the fire, unfazed.
Irene look back at the big fire. She becomes worried. It's the same as the flow of the plot. Just in different circumstances. This place will still be burned down by a fire. It seems that certain scene in the plot will still happened no matter what differences she makes. Which make her certain that her death in this world are still imminent.
As the fire grew bigger, the smoke grew thicker. Irene starting to cough. She hurriedly wears back the veil that was given by Arlo.
"Go! The fire is getting bigger! Get out now!" Irene pushed Ben out of the prison cell. Ben looks back reluctantly before he runs out.
Irene turn back to look at the other tunnel, reminded that there's other people inside. She hesitate whether to leave or not. At that moment, she decided. Irene determined to warned the others as she run inside.
Ben who's reaches outside, stumble upon Arlo.
"Why are you alone? Where's Irene?" Arlo asks, worried.
"There's a fire....Irene told me to get out. She...still inside." Ben told him, seemingly to be in dazed.
"You all get inside the carriage, follow the others. Leave immediately." Arlo instruct them who still remains, to leave.
As soon as he saw the carriage leaving, he didn't hesitate to run back inside.

Meantime, the old man run back with the two man who's supposedly guard Irene inside the room, whereas Nebun Mother and others are waiting.
The three of them looks at eachother nervously.
"Ne...Nebun Mother...umm...the...young lady...she..."
"What? Stop your nonsense and talk clearly!" The Nebun Mother reprimanded him, seeing his nervous behaviour. The old man could only leans in to whisper to her.
Hearing such news, make the Nebun Mother calm face turn to be anger. She slap the old man face hard till he fall to the ground.
The others are terrified. While the old man grunted in pain.
"It seem...that the young lady has escaped." The Nebun Mother was so furious but she had to calm herself as she needs to explain to her client.
Verick was shocked at first but deep down he feels relief. For it going to be hard to go against with the masked man, if they were to fight.
While the other parties, just stay quiet and frighteningly calm. For the first time, the Nebun Mother felt a pressure around her.
"It seems like our arrival here was a waste of time." The golden masked man said, while the black masked man stood by him.
"I don't think there's any need for us to do business with you."
Just as the Nebun Mother try to say something, they all heard a scream.
"There's a fire!"
"Run!"
"Aahhh!"
Everyone were rushing to the exit.
"What the..."

As they all running to the exit, Irene was there giving them way.
"Come on, this way!" She lead them to a way out.
Everyone was panicking. As they all running away towards the exit, some of them knock off the alcohol drinks to the ground. Which only make the fire spread faster.
One of the young male prostitute trip over to the ground, as he was running. Irene who saw him help him up.
"Go, go now!"
When suddenly an explosion happens.

Boom!!

Irene falls to the ground with the others.
