"Watch your step when walking down," Agent 42 yelled out as the group slowly descended down the stairs.

Sophie moved cautiously as several areas of the staircase had been destroyed or damaged during the attack. 

Traces of the invaders could be seen everywhere from blaster marks burnt into the railings and the heavy scent of blood permeating the air.

"What… the," one of the passengers exclaimed in shock as he tripped over a piece of rubble.

Even Lily seemed to be influenced by the tense atmosphere as she stayed silent in Sophie's arms.

Sophie shuffled and weaved through the broken sections of the stairway but could not shake the feeling that a pair of eyes were staring at her.
