"Do you really have to stay out for too long?" Angel asked Carly over the phone. "I mean, you just started going there, and have you forgotten that you came home late last time?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuugP986Y1

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0ryoWJ6MU

"I'll tell you later," said Angel as she stood to look around the outside of her cubicle. A lot of people had yet to back from lunch. She sat back down. "Can’t talk about it here.

Angel cut the call and stared up at the ceiling for a while. Her mother soon came to mind. A day never passes without Angel thinking about her. And she realised that with her mother gone, she now has a big responsibility of taking care of Carly. It will be tough.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDruiOGii0u

Angel hadn't noticed that Leo was also around as she heard the sound of someone munching on something. He stood at the front end of her cubicle, chewing on a paper-wrapped sandwich. He stopped chewing when he noticed that Angel had his eyes on him.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0OfyggsrW

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhJY81egQ2
"If you're worried that he might try and convince her to go back, he won't," said Angel, raising her eyebrow at Leo. "When we first met, he was very kind to me. In fact, I know he's a good guy and won't do anything that would jeopardise Carly. If you really want to know more about him, I suggest you talk to her about him."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbGtdLqlfw

Her lecture grew boring by the minute and she couldn’t help but turn her attention elsewhere. She wished for the day to be over so she could go home. She thought she might not be able to go to the club tonight, so she better inform Mr. Walters. She took her phone and pressed the power button to light up the screen. She groaned again when she looked at the time. A few heads in front of her turned and she threw them a look, telling them to mind their business. She went on to unlock her phone and sent Mr. Walters a text very quickly.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvz3IiPvYE

She placed the phone back down and tried her very best to sit upright to try and concentrate. Immediately she did and got a few words from her lecturer, her phone beeped beside her book. She rolled her eyes and told herself that she would look at it later.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH0xF5UqNq

A few seconds later, she found herself playing with her pen, not getting a word her lecturer was saying. Shoot, she told herself as she felt bored. She checked the time on her phone again. This time the notification on her lock screen was beckoning her to open it. As bored as she is, she unlocked her phone and went to her messages. It’s from Mr. Walters. She didn’t expect him to reply so soon. It read that she should come to the club no matter what and right after her classes. Miranda raised an eyebrow. He has never asked her to come very early for work. What’s the big occasion?435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b3KNqKKa6
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMR1eWzljR
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi99HpVv5Ec
She quickly texted him back, asking why she should go early. She sent the message and looked at the phone eagerly, waiting for him to reply there and then, but he didn’t. She put her phone back down and looked towards the lecturer, getting bored again. Her eyes soon lit up when her phone vibrated. Mr, Walters texted her back. She quickly read the message. It said that he needed her there because there’s a special party he’s hosting for someone.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllognjBaP6

Miranda bit her lip as she thought about it. As much as she’s a fan of parties, she didn’t want to go anywhere tonight. Mr. Walters soon sent her a text saying he’ll pay her double the amount she gets on most nights. She thought about it and texted him back saying that she wanted the money tripled.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3JxabE69Q

She didn’t get the chance to put her phone down when he texted back saying it’s a done deal. Miranda can’t believe it. The owner of the party must be some big shot, she thought. Looks like she’ll have to ditch her plans of chilling at home and attend. She texted back saying she’ll be there.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWcdTqW1Wc

The sound of your lecturer telling his students that the lecture is over, was music to Carly’s ears. She quickly packed her books in her backpack just like everyone around her.

A sudden thought crossed her mind: he and Carly are probably together at this very moment. She looked out the window to catch her breath. As much as she tried to convince herself that she might be overthinking it, a strong part of her knew she’s right.

With headphones still plugged in, she looked down at her phone and pressed the back button to repeat the song. She started to make her way to the alleyway that she usually used to get to the club.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEZx4cmdvi

As soon as she arrived at the club's back door, she could already feel the atmosphere. It's just another busy night as usual, she told herself as she closed the door behind her. She gave a nod to the man who always stood guard inside and made her way down the hall towards the dressing room.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNfEq3azyG

She went straight for her locker upon entering the room when she felt her phone vibrate in her hand. Mr. Walters is calling.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqRmLVehE2
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfIVOBg2Qh
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC9YQgTZLS
She answered. "If you're going to ask where I am, I'm already in the dressing room," she said with the earphones still in her ears.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP8eYpiKUC
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf87U5jl6NI
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqhldeB9LT
"Good, that's fine," said Mr. Walters. "You better get dressed quickly for tonight. A vehicle will come over to pick you girls up in ten minutes or so."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJLPiiUneG

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxjesT91S1
"I know that, you don't have to tell me how to do my job," Mr. Walters sounded like he is about to snap. "There will be the five of you. It's a small party, nothing special."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHppsXDZox

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFpKThlSb3
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWux5a2VX4a

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ336JM1h24u

Alex drove the car downtown and Carly couldn't help but look around. She didn't expect to be in this part of town. She thought the party they were attending would be in some luxurious place in the city. Maybe in some prestigious club, unlike Mr. Walters'.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr0FXWwYbP
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI6giP6fGG
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkoHVRFXuX
"Hey, are you sure the event is taking place around this part of town?" Carly couldn't help but ask as she turned to look at Alex. "Red Lion described it like it's a party with class."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4bvxifknn
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L3qP49Nka
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRKvdFAYew

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubS3ufWNP7
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIevFRsxzoD
"In this dump? Sorry if that came out rude, but where can you put up a luxurious party around here? Aren’t we going to some nice place like a hotel or something?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGgGeEK7EB
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmaMwOPz9u
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwUB5Bd5Ro

Alex rolled his eyes. Do women really talk like this all the time, he asked himself. He already knew the answer to that. But there’s something about Carly when she asked her questions that almost drove him to the edge of madness.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfbGOd2Pkt
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHwWbtaDkD
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvmymI3ucs
They were approaching the area close to the New York harbour. The road was quiet and only a few cars and some vans coming passed them going the opposite direction. Before they could reach the premises, Alex slowed the car and stopped.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BxkfIrM8U
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx3DN3B5JQ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKnItIU1Yu
"What is it?" Carly asked as she looked at him. "Are you telling me we’re stopping here?" she looked out of the window. "But we’re just outside the harbour. Are we having a party here?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3zHoUOrTN
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEfUpAcJRe
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqPZDb1XGX
Alex didn’t answer as he bent to her side to reach his hand to the glove compartment. He removed a black folded cloth and closed the compartment. He sat up straight, looking at Carly.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfjIj34aYK
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1qutNG82K
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J4aNOLyJq

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqdS7CqSKB
Alex opened the door and went out himself. Carly had no choice but to do as he said. He did tell her that he would've to blindfold her. When she got out, she looked around. She stood a few feet away from the wire fence that separated the ship bay premises and the road. She could see a ship pulling up into the bay from a distance and there came the sound of its horn.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJIOVb0A9x
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmLYgRG8qW

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocJJbmPh7U
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBiKzgSAgb
Carly looked at him before doing so. She felt him coming close behind her and she had the sudden urge to turn around again because she didn’t like this. She saw the black cloth that he had come over her head and blinding her eyes.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SGmEfWd2Q
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQTSaSD3g4
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh6r9QbeWV

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5FclWnVkt
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKowAVIWch
"Red Lion wouldn’t like that to happen, would he?" Alex asked as he tied the cloth. "I’m just doing what I was told."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYCkN4Fcmv
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOdKg3o1Vo
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFga5wDxCjF
After doing so, he opened the car door beside her and helped her in carefully. He closed the door and he went round the car to the driver’s seat. He started the car and did a U-turn. Carly could feel how the car moved and she held her breath for a moment.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9vTp2zTQn
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8pBy76fDZ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhT1LOhph1

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd38GHRPP4Y
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKbDlR1yAw

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMofKDYrY1S
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySlSFxQfVe
Carly noticed his tone and pressed her lips together to keep herself from talking back. He might not have instructions to kill her, but when you drive a person mad, who knows what they may do.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NzHyZC4gz
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0OUpGtQdt
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejk2TwRgqb
The car continued to move and Carly felt the car make more turns than usual. Where exactly is he taking me, she wondered.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTqG60uK9b
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQENswHsLgB
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqEhypDhFs

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuUQpIM0S6

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG8YzKAVXC
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVdvHvtRsp
"Did Red Lion instruct you on that one too?" Carly felt her chest getting heavy and her heart beating fast.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgBFFL4O5p
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTRTCPWUBj
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAzhtLhjfl

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFuiv1ZRhg
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOadD4CQVQ
Easy for you to say, Carly said to herself. How she wished she knew where they’re going. The car made a few more turns before slowly coming to a stop. Carly felt her heart beat faster. This is it, they’ve finally arrived.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HPuJv9cWA
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJtpdVUCLc
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYrdlQoNSm
She heard Alex open and close the door. She heard footsteps outside as she knew he was coming round the car to get her out.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE883klSLF
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPqiNhfF8s
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdslFLNwqI
The car door opened beside her and she felt the burst of the cold night air. Could they still be near the harbour, she wondered. Alex took both of her hands and she felt awkward as she felt how large and calloused they were, yet he touched her gently. She actually expected him to grab her by the arm and roughly pull her out of the car.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpMSUu16yd
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSa8BZJETO
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqTFEOIBbv

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHlc3qM0Zn
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo65VcMnQY
She found herself obliging to him calmly. She didn't expect him to be so gentle. She felt her cheeks slowly start to heat up. Is she blushing?435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyYAD0dXkg
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk2ij6D7fF
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMhPsDQK2S
While holding her hands, Alex took her a few steps away from the car and stopped. He let go and for a moment, Carly gasped. With her blindfolded, she didn't like the idea of being alone.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiHiOMlc0N
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl9IBOEH5j
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgctmpS3Xlk
"Relax, I'm just going to close the car door," he said as he walked past her. And just as he had said, he closed it. Carly remained there, breathing in the cold night air and shaking, wondering why all this is happening to her.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyxji0exZR
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDaLcsF8Uq
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLaD4lkYkA

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFlw2KdCSR
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VBLYh9LJi

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRPmgXpxau
They walked for a while and Carly heard the sound of people talking and something like metal wire. As they approached the source of the noise, she heard a man speak out:435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRIUyP2zHt
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE5Dnrf0Xg
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKI7U7OjyK

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ8CLLgsgx
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9XdHFe2IC
There came the sound of wire as the gate is open. Carly couldn’t help but feel they might still be within the premises of the harbour if not anywhere else.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2LU2ZF9Eh
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ESEH29Zpd

Alex held her shoulders a little tighter and drew her close to him. Carly couldn’t help but feel how big and warm his body was against hers. It almost felt comforting.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNGAaW7CH3

Alex continued to lead Carly on ahead, leaving the men at the gate. As they walked, she felt her surroundings suddenly change. She could tell they are entering a building because she no longer felt the cold night air. She soon heard the clanking sound of metal above and she wondered if those were pipes. The air around them felt warm and damp.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQRpyL4pz9

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw5XSvDWtD
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4N7fR4DDA
"Can't do that," he answered as he continued to lead the way. "Red Lion doesn't want any outsiders knowing this place."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxACN1C5T4M
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqF2l0T3Qs

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AgVhumRDT
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzta7OB6UeK
Alex didn't answer as he soon stopped. Carly wondered if she had upset him. Before she could react, she felt one of his hands slip away from her shoulder and the sound of a buzzer soon rang in her ears. Did he press something?435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej5BjgCFZN
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnSRqfPg4N
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ulx15Ft8m
She heard something move in front of her like a metal door and Alex soon led her forward again, taking a few steps before stopping. Carly felt like she had entered a different room until she felt the floor move after another buzzing sound came through. It felt like she's in some kind of elevator and they were descending.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC7GZSu2vw

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtqAcCPN75
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrCpc0DoA6
She felt the elevator stop and the doors behind her draw open. Alex gently turned her around and led her out. There came the sound of soft jazz music playing in the background. Carly now felt a little anxious. Have they arrived at the so-called party?435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIFQUKlcM8
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOmhyyVPuZ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJLmD8rirh
Alex made her stop and his hands dropped from her shoulders. Carly almost whimpered as she turned her head. She didn't want to be left alone.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjWIOu5lEa
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifDxJ5Pq40
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD2cl0R9yV
"Ah!" came a recognisable voice. She heard footsteps approach her. "She's finally here. And early too. Thank you for bringing her on time, Alex. You really are reliable."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDykMh81Vy
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRunjXnNjGX

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo4QVxFBYD
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUaookhsPj
Carly knew Red Lion stood in front of her and soon enough, he lifted up her blindfold. Carly's eyes had to adjust to the lights as she first looked at Red Lion. Her attention soon diverted to the room. She's shocked to see what's around her.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuD3CHXtzj
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfxq0t6wuT
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm8Glh8g5h
"Yes, dear, take it all in," said Red Lion as he stood by her side and looked around too. "For tonight, this is going to be your playground."
