"Shut your mouth or else we will throw you out right away!"

Muttering within his breath, the guy with a deep voice said. Hannah, because of fright, forcedly calms down herself to avoid the possible threat of being thrown out.

She feels pity for herself. She couldn't do anything but cry as the van escaped the place. She thought she was kidnapped for ransom because her family is known to be rich.

One of the guys murmured something. "What are we going to do now with her? Are you really out of your mind? We can be jailed because of your dumb plans!"

She looks at them. The tallest of the group abruptly tapped the head of the small guy who said those things. "Watch your mouth. She could hear us." He added. "What then? Do you think we will let her out and preach?" The other guy exclaimed.

"If ever we will let her out now, she might not able to pinpoint us since we have covers to our face." The guy with the deepest voice who is also the one who forced Hannah to get inside the van, pushes the heads of the other three towards each other. "S2pid. You do not have your masks with you."

Hannah, on the other side, is busy finding a way to remove the tie in her hands while the four kidnappers are busy talking something. She feel relieved when she was able to untie it without being noticed.

She is patiently waiting for the perfect moment. When the van stopped, she ready herself. When the guy with a deep voice opened it up, she took the chance to escape.

With heart beats fast, she takes the risk to run when she got the chance. She smiled when she's able to get out from the van. She kicked the guy in his sensitive part and it screamed in pain.

She run and entered the building she saw. She feel familiar with the place. It's her hiding spot from her parents. She heard some running footsteps. Out of nowhere, she bumped with something causing it to fall. It made a sound. She hoped they won't find her.

After a few minutes, she did not hear something. She thought that those guys were gone. Little did she know, the cats are just patiently waiting outside for their prey mouse.

This time, she was not able to escape. They did what they thought could satisfy them. She is crying, but hoping that somebody will come and save her.

Just like what she saw from the dark street, the girl with a red pony tail is also there. If she's not mistaken, the girl was taking a video. She smiled because she thought someone called some help.

The guys were busy talking about their success in their research. That is the time she realized that maybe, it is their way of celebrating. Something, she couldn't understand and accept.

There is a river a few meters away from where they are right now. Though she though someone will save her, she still thinks of other way to escape. She took a deep breath and she remembered there is a secret room in the place. She just have to walk on the other side without being noticed.

While walking as quietly as she can, she saw a copy of something on one table. She took the risk to grab the copy. Unfortunately, one of them notice her and they immediately her to get her.

She managed to enter the secret room so she locked it right away. She learned that the research is about a pill that can erase memory. Something entered into her mind. She think that maybe she could use it in the future.

A blast of sound comes from the door. Instantaneously, she hide the copy inside the cabinet and went into the window to escape. Rusty and old, she opens it while her heartbeats are racing. The door and the window open at the same time. She jump and succeed.

She feel safe for a few moments but it fades when the fourth guy who serves as the lookout of the group noticed her. She run but eventually, she was caught. The next thing happened is that she lost her consciousness.

They tried to put the pill inside her mouth while she was unconscious. But in just a snap, she gained back her awareness and bit the finger of the one who feeds the pill to her.

She was slapped and so she swallowed a part of the pill. They then carry her and went to the river. She's about to be thrown away when somebody shouted. "The police officers are here. Then it is followed by a sound of incoming police mobiles.

The kidnappers wen't furious after hearing it and forget what they should do. They released her and escaped immediately. Hannah groaned as she fell to the ground. She heard some footsteps. Someone shouted."Shoot and kill everyone you'll see. That's an order."

Because of an adrenaline rush, She stand up and escape the place. Her scarf was leave in the scene intentionally so that they will thought that she's gone. Besides, she come up with the plan to start a new life after it. A life different from what she is used to.
