They ran until the alley narrowed into a crack between two broken walls.
This place used to be a research complex.
Now it was a grave of concrete and rusted metal. Floors had collapsed into each other.

Alice didn't need to see it with her own eyes. She was sure a group of marauders was already waiting for them there, crossbows raised, ready for them to come out.

"Wake up already, you fatso!"
She cursed and even tried to pinch him, but he didn't budge.
Karr came from behind, breathing hard.
"It's useless. That gas probably sedated him for a few hours. Maybe you should leave us here, Alice."

The possibility was there, but very slim.
Finding the other fairies who came with her also wouldn't be easy.
