"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.

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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSp06C3rTa

"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.

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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBskhOmbMvo

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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ejQW2ZTve

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?433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAW4BvrAoj
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGWKa4ToIc
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hLwxp3Kkv
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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMPUR0n5aT

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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtidE0xN24a

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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg16fwMCHC

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.

She’s glad she got through to Angel and made up a lie that she’s not very proud of. But she had to find a way to not go home tonight and she had to use Robin as her scapegoat. As guilty as she felt, she knew it had to be done.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1cGdPp5BK

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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2j6iR4DqB

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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV2MoERI6P

She went straight for her locker upon entering the room when she felt her phone vibrate in her hand. Mr. Walters is calling.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna0FmrKkQD
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1l8GO1quT
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwwsZ6qMLs
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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFTCN95Yn2
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wQhi2bw3q
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD30lwerNr
"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."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWsx2lcm12
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tmiIxaLXa

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5UVQZ6jBu
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMMCISB8tK
"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."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSZbZb2RGv

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzElFtptZ0j
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7epUxCZd6

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08nSQO17Pp

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI27cWZ4Xu

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'.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VUjrGhJR3
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtByb361UDN
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJldDOnm1WE
"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."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIXAqMKtPx
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqQHTrCrQ7
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrg2KN4E6F

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgW0eEDS8y
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqJmsAyzHC
"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?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTvt79Yu3z
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQiqhtOnnd
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUkHAfs3K2

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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqS3bzeF9I
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqogb2GSFa
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPxNekjKqx
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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI69qkIOjd1
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXn34Os2Xo
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0aPaKgbD7
"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?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNurSsFsGeE
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2f9q5JvNj
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gXMMXK2Px
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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY5UWMMd60
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1iQ3g6ZwB
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE7TzMsSB1

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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJUICLXsGv
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsOisCyAuz
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBKCWCVVZO

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1hAvBW6Ff
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFICHVnmnf6
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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vq2n8IbN8
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBYdGamtYG
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHvjN2aaQn

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZRtolFfNs
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzan6Z4CWZ

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON3yWDrPpe
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvNT2pm9HK
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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3l6SZyE1q
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkFwHpSMH8
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QGNu9Lb2C

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRah1AN9dx
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoW2ZAErYL
"Do I really have to repeat myself, time and time again?" he asked, sounding a little frustrated.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe86vFxfBUB
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SL5HfbyZv
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tQ1kUgM8y
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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklpG1YNtPl
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8mRcPk7Qd
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv64VJFQPY
The car continued to move and Carly felt the car make more turns than usual. Where exactly is he taking me, she wondered.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AQisoSrUX
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF16hVUwOX
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4w9ZwLT7z

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35MIb2LOSD
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwS4NiW5Vs
"We’re almost there," Alex answered. "And don’t try to do anything stupid. If you remove your blindfold, I won’t hesitate to hurt you."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS6gWcdOXw
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb4MZVagHd
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFsZGgfCd4
"Did Red Lion instruct you on that one too?" Carly felt her chest getting heavy and her heart beating fast.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLbGvRZdwI
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWIPN92XXV
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKq1K7YwJ9

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLWaIPcxfj
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN8BUI3q9Y
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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4Wh44KUBF
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6sscRkDoe
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4dxWKPEII

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWZKHcUMxV
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV9DRPuI3p
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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoaIRCvuA6
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v1OKfKP6a
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gxVTdm6mC

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2QrTHxJn6

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?433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wK0t98mKA
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwOWHIARPA
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7LYKkRXTK
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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rujypV6AF
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBnHJwdBqx
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQmzgoHNZ9
"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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRwPGsyG8X
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnl8KYbrDT
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfbgSPwxiE

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle4IAQFEvF

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXW414YtlA
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:433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIr9Ioqmfn
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW4QJU1JfH
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKnMGdYxJE

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfmk9rluJY
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiVTZtJF2o
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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcunPWSTEg4
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs40L3maD8y
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVb7ZRlmth

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJlXvqF3uY
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeFbo5jZvJ

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfTjb5yEZy

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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiyZc442k1
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJjKvxgObM
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMACJahGChw

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8FgXD0BaW
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATEcxfqRFC
"Can't do that," he answered as he continued to lead the way. "Red Lion doesn't want any outsiders knowing this place."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9D7en5jNG
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp6GO3TpfF
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeASSGIdZkl

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37c0V6U1Wy
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OHYrNLliM
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?433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCf4z4UvWs
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPpAKEViZH
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUkvtCvqWc
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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PEwv070xn

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3VAOgtRna
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLQt4BMXQ3
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?433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVaVOp5LFS
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrNwwA3OdO
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGteCHd0Nrb
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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaIEANqvzE
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnuRvAqclR
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cPuoYvJzQ
"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."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1rL5kihl5
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMB46ALxT1

433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrzK32lfOu
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvxKs8RcLi
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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EhIB9RtO4
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40Q3WteIQY
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnlw1rwR2q
"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."
