"Why did the power turn off?" Amy's voice sounded in the yard. She looked up at the second floor and said, "One of you guard the stairway and the other, guard Mrs. Shi's window. You have to be very vigilant."
"Go and find some flashlights. Use your phones if you can't find one. Guard North Yard at all costs. I'll go and see what's going on," said Lena in a dignified voice.
Amy pitched in, "I'll contact Mr. Shi."
North Yard was filled with people now. With the vast number of footsteps, you couldn't be sure who was coming or going.
In order to stay hidden, Nina dressed in full black so it would be a whole lot easier to escape.
Nina picked up the chair beside her and swung it towards the locked glass window. The broken glass instantly attracted the attention of the bodyguards who were downstairs.
"There was a sound from upstairs." The guard stepped away from the window, avoiding the glass. He waved over the other bodyguards for some backup.
"What happened?" Immediately, two bodyguards ran over. They guessed
e garbage masked her scent completely.
If Nine managed to find her now, then Nina would have to just accept that at least she tried all she could.
At least Nine loved her enough to find her.
John, however, trapped her and held her against her will.
All that she could hear in the trash can was the sound of her breath and a few flies, buzzing around.
A few mosquito bites popped up on her hands, but she had no time to even pay any attention to them. All she cared about was the people who were searching for her outside. She perked up her ears to listen to what was going on.
They searched and searched, but found no trace of her.
When Nina heard the search party's voices gradually fade, she felt a sense of relief. It was short lived though.
She heard the sudden thud of approaching footsteps, followed by a respectful salute. "Mr. Shi."
When she heard John's name, the blood seemed to stop flowing in her body.
Judging from their voices, John was only a few meters away.
Why did he come back so soon?
