When Casey Ford learnt that Franklin had escaped, she had no word to express her shock. Her security rushed into the small room where they had kept him."How did he escape?!" Casey shouted.A grizzled man with a birthmark below his eye, shook his head. "Ma'am, we don't know, but it seems that he somehow figured out the code and managed to run away."Casey was seething with rage. "How is this even possible?!

Ahmet asked, looking around nervously."I think someone might have followed you two here," Prof. Arjun replied seriously. "We need to be extremely careful. These devices are sensitive, and we can't let anyone see them."Franklin listened to Prof. Arjun's words. What did he mean by "sensitive devices"?

Did you find Franklin?"They shook their heads. "No, Miss Ford. We searched everywhere, but he was gone.""Gone? What do you mean gone? You mean to tell me that none of you could give an account on how one man had managed to escape from all of you in this house without being captured.""We tried, Miss Ford, but he disappeared. We think he might have had help."Casey's eyes flashed with fury. "Help? Who would help him? Do we have a traitor in this house?!"The security guards exchanged nervous glances.
