The door closed behind her.
A soft click.
No turning back.
Meher stepped into the dark corridor.
Long. Silent.
Unknown.
"Keep walking," the woman said.
"Where are we going?" Meher asked.
The woman didn't look back.
"Somewhere the world doesn't see."
They walked deeper.
Lights flickered on—one by one.
This wasn't an office.
This was something else.
Screens.
Dozens of them.
Data flowing.
Faces. Names. Files.
From different countries.
Meher stopped.
"This isn't just India…"
The woman replied—
"No. It never was."
Meher's breath slowed.
"This is global," she whispered.
The woman turned.
"Welcome to Level Two."
Silence.
"Who are you?" Meher asked again.
The woman looked straight at her.
"My name is Elena."
Pause.
"And I'm the one who's supposed to stop you."
Meher's eyes narrowed.
"Then why bring me here?"
Elena stepped closer.
"Because I'm tired of this system."
A beat.
"And you're the only one who broke it."
Far away—
Alarms suddenly blinked red.
Someone had noticed.
Elena's expression changed.
"They know you're here."
Meher didn't step back.
"Good," she said.
"If I'm here…"
Her voice steady—
"I'm not leaving without the truth."
Screens around them flashed.
New data loading.
A single word appeared:
"INITIATE TRACKING."
The hunt had begun again.
But this time—
On a global level.
