My hands clutched the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white. Under the threat of the criminal’s blade, fear coursed through my veins Even after exiting the parking garage, the knife remained at my throat, barely noticeable yet unmistakably there.

Frozen in place, the fear within me escalated with each passing moment.

I tried to keep my voice steady. “Who sent you?

The man snorted, “Cut the chatter and keep driving.”

His guard was up, making it clear he wasn't to be trifled with

Suddenly, it clicked. Bryant's waming this moming... It all made sense now,

But neither of us could have anticipated this.

It was the weekend, and traffic was starting to pile up.

After what felt like an etemity, we finally made our way out of the bustling city center along Harmony Street

ns, the more my panic grew

The more we ventured into the secluded areas.

Out of the car behind us appeared two familiar faces—Dorothy and Jarrod.

“Jarrod had forced her here too?” I thought

But then, Dorathy glared at me fiercely and c&mmanded the other thugs in thesyard, “What are you. waiting for? Throw her down theret’ Without-hesitation, two of them grabbed me and threw me into the basement, stirring up clouds of dust that choked me. My hands-scraped painfully against the concrete floor./

Dorothy stepped on my fingers, the pain shooting up my arm, tears springing to my eyes.
