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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOtxRbyqHT

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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ9mgGzGRX

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8wHhPIztw
"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."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQrIk62Z4M

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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs4MvnTJ3G

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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpILDZ57jI2

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?425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzNjZXFit7
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1Ft26DvwE
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0tjXM2BrF
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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbcu8ETLI3

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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIlu7sJPwf

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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYfnflR1Qk

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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmdpeVzUf0

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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfGKIm5pjR

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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2YQ15cOv2

She went straight for her locker upon entering the room when she felt her phone vibrate in her hand. Mr. Walters is calling.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgesTPF3Nd
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63KlHjYXe0
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtieLeTPGTg
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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL06sOQXOh
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eV4Ptw06O
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeaP7cHfU1

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDKunIo5B9

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c7UoIXKfY
"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."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2Z2sdab3a

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mr17tAfji

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0NGgkgc7q

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'.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQClAg1lDTc
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyQU71QwcT
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW03SJxCq2S
"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."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6wvN6qQT4
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7FES1J1CU
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6EHyUl4GY

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27CwhE2zb0
"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?"425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73PoxV4kRj
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj7iRqEzLC

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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ye8BlQqTV
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyVT6Y83oG
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD3t5STCX8
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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8JkD34E7Y
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUgAEiZMWG
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqUzeoOZ0v
"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?"425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73X4RmQtMX
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmqMlUUPVL
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEbpFhp48g
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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNp9pr5W6s
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KW20ykcix

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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5KiZseO1Z

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlEnKKn3lu
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yP9wtllNM
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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SQ66zeuas
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHJ1AWYTzZ
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQoiCGp661

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHwuWmy9Ed
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWz6SqdnQx
"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."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde1QS3ZCac
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcbNQDh3v7
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GngbykDFz
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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp7pH7a9LC
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXm7c06yGV
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70mOPxtBGV

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LLI0buOeM
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EUwk0lnQ8

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uR1csF1V1
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpXk1rNNwj
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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfegy6heEyT
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO6BEcF4bt
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjHGpOp05n
The car continued to move and Carly felt the car make more turns than usual. Where exactly is he taking me, she wondered.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuihrdUvY0
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqQORH5Ky5
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqVt4PyCga

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HuCYN1e8b

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9howZgv2E
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYOzPrKtqy
"Did Red Lion instruct you on that one too?" Carly felt her chest getting heavy and her heart beating fast.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51ZU4sCmqN
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuQg476Zcb
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mux0EJ8aP

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC7AN6JwEC
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp3KeYF5bI
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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaUaJfgY2F
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMymWW6Asu9
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJoAL4yEyf

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPHFMbL7i7
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoHT9ZHb3q
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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGZpJBaj8G
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD8CbJo4Fw
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRXERMgY5l

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMNdZzEJ4y
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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU5RDY7THl
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9aVpjHYpl
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ305ueVRa6G
"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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHyj7D54C9
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ0YiHV7Pp

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCaQSa94mV
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:425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7Og0KCYhl
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByoWezNFMC
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZBVdx3cUr

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WFg658cgI
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXLLzQfQZ1
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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbmslFN6R5
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6htNNu3gv

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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYKWzSW8JX
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhkgOVl6Ka

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe9pEgf0v0
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbNU66NI2t
"Can't do that," he answered as he continued to lead the way. "Red Lion doesn't want any outsiders knowing this place."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO0bGqiPTt
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQHcYUiBVj

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxBZUBRqsX
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVqyiN0WBM
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?425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJgyaXX9lt
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuUJUBRTLs
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ8MOE9fs2
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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfz1SriHlY

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Nn3J2cIz7
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?425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgzNtzwf5j
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFiHZPEglT
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTCVfxslz4

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sUDaF8aZR
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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8TN5IYg0T
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgpWlRXTg1
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXnxVxj4mN
"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."
