ELENA'S POV
I got out through the vault.
When Morgana's people filled the corridor from both ends I made the only calculation available. The vault door was still open behind us. The vault had no other exit but it had one thing the corridor didn't.
A ceiling access point I'd seen when we first walked in. Old construction. A maintenance shaft built before the vault was converted to its current purpose. Barely wide enough. Definitely not designed for a pregnant woman.
I went through it anyway.
Ryker saw me go.
He didn't follow. He couldn't follow and protect Viviana simultaneously and he had already made that decision before I made mine. He looked at me for exactly one second and in that second everything was communicated that needed to be communicated.
Get help.
I got help.
The shaf
