"We can't go to the safe room," Lucy said, her mind racing. "But we can make them think we're going there."
William's eyes met hers, understanding dawning. "A diversion."
"Exactly." Lucy pulled out her phone. "We send the security team to the safe room as decoys while we get out through…"
"The service tunnels," William finished. "They run underneath the entire estate. My grandfather built them during Prohibition."
Another crash from downstairs. There were more footsteps of people now.
"How many did she bring?" Lucy whispered.
William checked the security feed on his phone. "The system's mostly down, but I'm seeing at least four intruders. Professional and armed." His jaw clenched. "She's not taking chances."
"Neither are we." Lucy grabbed his hand. "Show me these tunnels."
They mad
