Smoke filled the entire dungeon.
"What the hell is going on?" Matteo yelled.
"We are under attack," the assistant exclaimed. "We need to leave right now."
"Attacked?" Matteo coughed violently. He could barely see through the thick haze.
"This is Bellini property. It's heavily secured. How could anyone get inside and attack us?"
"I don't know." The assistant grabbed Matteo's arm. "But we need to get out before they reach us. Otherwise, we'll be killed."
He dragged Matteo toward the exit. The two men disappeared into the smoke.
Dominic remained alone inside the cell. He coughed, his injured hand throbbing violently. The pain had spread up his arm, making his entire limb feel numb.
Every part of his body ached from the beating he had endured. He squinted through the smoke, trying to see the dungeon door.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
Gunfire exploded through the dungeon.
