She tapped the end of his nose with her finger, almost like a mother scolding her child would.

Ava merely smiled and crouched down in front of him.
"Promises, promises. Aren't you the persistent one? I'll have to give you that much. But I think what we've all learned here is that if you want to get things done--"

And she disappeared into the darkness of the hallway outside.

He slumped forwards in his chair, exhausted but immensely relieved, as his bonds were cut. Even so, the question lingered over him.
He'd bought himself some time but was it enough?
