Ross stayed where he was with his gun and stopped anyone who tried to give chase.
"Seize her!" someone shouted and tried to go past him.
However, Ross quickly pressed his gun at his own temple. "Don't come any closer, or I'll kill myself!"

Lily ran with all her might, knowing she would be safe if she could reach a crowded area. In fact, she was already safe when she got out of the embassy. After all, it was daytime, so they would not dare abduct her in a public area.
