Detective Mercer and the Eva-Lynn Clone dashed into a nearby alleyway, narrowly escaping the mysterious gunman. The alley was narrow and dimly lit, with the distant sound of city life muffled by the walls. "They're onto us," Mercer panted, checking his weapon. "We need a safe place to regroup and plan our next move." The clone nodded, her eyes wide with fear but resolute. "There's a safe house I know of, not far from here. We can lay low there." They hurried through the maze of backstreets, staying in the shadows to avoid detection. Scene 16: Safe House Location = Time of day: Early Morning, Lighting: Dim, subdued, Weather: N/A (Indoor), Skybox: N/A (Indoor), Props: Sparse furniture (old sofa, wooden table), curtains drawn, a small kitchen. In the safe house, a nondescript apartment in a forgotten part of the city, Mercer and the clone sat down to piece together their findings. The room was sparsely furnished, with just the essentials. Mercer spread out the documents and photos they had gathered. "The conspiracy involves high-ranking officials. They've been using clones to manipulate politics and power." The clone added, "Eva-Lynn discovered their plan. That's why she was killed. But they didn't count on me, her clone, uncovering the truth." They knew they were racing against time.
