Chaos erupted in the archive room. The two private guards rushed forward, but Matteo’s legal team—who had been waiting just outside the outer biometric door—breached the reinforced glass with an emergency override code.

Julian gasped for air, a defiant, bloodied grin spreading across his face. "You'll... you'll never find him... the plane leaves for Zurich in an hour..."
Liana ignored the brawl raging around her. She dove across the floor, snatching up the fallen flash drive. Scrambling to her feet, she rushed to the master terminal, plugging the drive into the USB port. The screen flickered, bypassing Julian’s firewall using the master override code she had memorized from the database logs.

Matteo threw one final, devastating punch that knocked Julian unconscious. He scrambled up, grabbing Liana by the hand. "Let's move! We're going to the airfield!"
The police sirens were already wailing in the distance as Matteo and Liana sprinted out of the hospital, leaving Julian and his disgraced guards to be picked up by the authorities.
