She was about toretort angrily at his brusqueness when the sound of marching feet caused her to shrinkback into the darkness with him. A squad of soldiers hurried past, responding to the alarms that continued to ringsteadily. Luke looked out at the retreating backs and tried to catch his breath.

Two guards appeared at the far end of the passageway, paused, and pointeddirectly at them. Turning, Luke and Leia began running back the way they had come.A larger squad of troopers rounded the far bend and came racing toward them. Blocking ahead and behind, they hunted frantically for another way out. ThenLeia spotted the cramped subhallway and gestured to it. Luke fired at the nearest of their pursuers and joined her in running down thepassage. It looked like a minor service corridor. Behind them, pursuit soundeddeafeningly loud in the confining space. But at least it minimized the amount of firethe troops could concentrate on them.
