After buying clothes, Amanda said she recently discovered a new clothing store with many beautiful clothes and asked if I wanted to go.

Without much thought, I followed her.

The pedestrians became fewer along the way, and we walked into a dilapidated and dim alley. Amanda told me to wait here for a moment while she went to the restroom.

Seeing how urgent she was, I nodded. She repeatedly assured me that she would come back quickly, comforting my uneasiness.

Now it was a society ruled by law.

But something happened.

Several masked strong men who looked like construction workers slowly approached me from the alley. I instinctively stepped back until there was no way to retreat.

And then it dawned on me that I was their target. Damn it!

I pushed away a man in front of me and ran as fast as I could, hoping that Amanda would come back soon.

"Where are you running? I suggest you be quiet."

I clenched my phone, and my mind went blank. Fear engulfed my whole body. When my hair was grabbed, I suddenly recovered and called the police!

I quickly pressed the emergency button, anxiously waiting for the police to arrive, while trying to delay time and wait for Amanda to come.

"Don't… Don't… I…" I hated my stammer. I was afraid that they would kill me if I accused them of their illegality, but also afraid that I couldn't scare them away simply.

One of them couldn't wait and urged, "Stop talking and hurry up."

…

At that moment, I really wished there was someone who could come and save me.

But there wasn't. No matter how I asked for help, there was no policemen, no pedestrians, and no light.

Not long after the man left with chuckles, Amanda, who had gone to the bathroom, came back humming a song. When she saw me, she screamed, "Oh my God! Grace, what happened?"

Before I collapsed in despair, I vaguely saw Amanda's satisfied smile.
