“It’s the vivid light—so vivid. My butt didn’t touch the seat yet and I couldn’t see anything. The light blinded me, no, blinded us. They fought against her. There’s gunshot and Sonya tried to flee. I heard them saying that. Not really sure. I can’t see it. They fought her to stop.”78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeKzb9mvV3

“What’s her power?” asked Wade.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSd9fxntwQ
“The light! It’s the light.” Anthony raised his voice volume.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xSVxgP75d
“Light?”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wr21bLJfY
“Yeah, the light,” Anthony repeated.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGR1Q6ydz4
Wade turned to her, doubtful. “I don’t’ understand. How the light can harm people?”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JCWE9cugi
“It’s the same way we can’t look at the sun during the midday.” Alexis guessed. “Am I correct?”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡIne9pglb0A
“Yeah-yeah, something like that, or maybe she can control the light. The light burned things. Or it’s about the heat. Whatever, but after she was taken away, I saw all light bulbs burned. Two girls got injured too. Their skin burnt and they are unable to open their eyes. They probably stay at the hospital now.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Nh0O77nlH
Alexis’s group exchanged the news from Anthony’s group, from cell to cell. “I think Sonya was scared. When she saw those chairs, she burst her everything out. It might be an accident.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡspq4m5dyzu
“What’s going on with her now?”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhR6rhmMsm
“I don’t know. I don’t know where they take her.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCaECZMKm7
Alexis looked at the cell where they put Mrs. Dobies and her sister inside. Now the cell was empty.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPxSTTX7sx
“What about the interrogation?” Wade still asked for more information.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjOtpgKM2d
“It terminates but I’m not sure if it’s temporary or not. Hope they cancel it forever.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pPk4rjQcG
The former soccer captain returned to Oslo and Alexis. “Well, who is Sonya Romuller?”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDvvvootwR
Alexis rolled her eyes. copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07bPBB5ln8
“A junior student, she’s quiet but really nice,” Oslo answered him. “I thought you know a lot of people?”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡywxnQBPas2
Wade shook his head, “No not a lot. But you can’t tell me I have to recognize everybody in the school, especially the quiet ones.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqFmVbLkFh
“I saw her at your party regularly.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFpnv0YAll
“No, I usually don’t pay attention to the guests. When I said, ‘hey, come to my party’, people parade into my house from word-to-word. I haven’t known you until we’re here. Alex, do you know this Sonya?”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUSgiJS8Uk
Alexis nodded. “She sings for the school’s choir.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLKQ7G1T1H
“So this one is really the Risk.” Wade turned to Belinda who sat far from them. “Congratulations!” He clapped his hands slowly. “You did help them find the real one!”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡadnzASAysW
“Stop it. Leave her alone,” Oslo cried. “Just leave her alone, okay?”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbQNr9wkhr
“Okay, Saint Oslo,” Wade muttered with playful eyes.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡErcphj5jc7
A couple hours later, the police came and they released the other group. Alexis pressed her face against the metal bars. It was the first time since the interrogation that there was the sign of hope. Miracle, please. I know you’re here.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nknXUgxtJ
Her eyes fixed on Anthony’s group. When the police ordered them to get out, they were reluctant to do.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnUkbmtHGL
“Don’t you want to go home? You’re free now.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lclKtEQNR
“How about them?” Anthony pointed to Alexis’s cell. “You’ll release them too? You already found the Risk.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNfibcdrKG
Alexis would like to kiss him once.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe45yfs2X8
“They’re convicted as the Suspect. (“Me?” Wade yelled.) If you won’t go, I’ll put you inside. And you, Miller boy, shut your mouth.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6uZret65g
“Why?” Wade asked. “You let them go. Why don’t let us? You already found the Risk. We’re not.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡY34dlgqyIa
“I already said you’re the Suspect,” Joseph replied and showed the bat. “Need another hit?’copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTojZXzrZx
Alexis resumed her place, laughing to mock herself. Oslo who was still leaning on the wall smiled at them scornfully. “You two still hope?”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡzND4N5jhco
“Yep,” she admitted. “Is it wrong?”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbsCpOTPnC
“I didn’t mean to offend you, Alex.” Oslo shook his head. “Well, I don’t know what to do even to hope so I go to sleep. Sweet dream both of you.” The boy with red hair laid his back on the solid floor. They slept like this for three full days now. Certainly, it was not comfortable at all. Alexis got the back pain and she needed a full day in the spa.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CvpWvmwWm
“They’re lucky,” she still talked to Wade. “They didn’t receive that treatment and the judgment haven't been made yet. I wish I have that luck.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3waHAXMTeZ
Wade squeezed her shoulder. “I know. Feel the same thing but can’t do anything.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMaLpzzipX
They sat quietly for a while. Her eyes fixed on Oslo who slept peacefully.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpArPwWb3S
Then Wade said, “It’s funny… I agree with him. The only thing we can do is sleeping.” copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6pIOZGBTU
Alexis sniggered.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbHLW6kwpK
Wade lay down. “You can lay your head on my arm? Or here?” The boy hit on his chest, slyly grinning. Alexis kicked one of his legs and laid herself on the floor next to Oslo.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk93LZAHbD
“Where did they take them?” Alexis meant Mrs. Dobies and Ms. Stephen.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJKZszZ8aS
“Donno. Hope it’s not another torment.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L4Kw1QRxg
There were only four prisoners. The ambiance was deader than the other previous days. She watched the plain ceiling until surrendering to the weight of her eyelids, the girl fell asleep. copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1AL5lKF3V
**********copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEE4E7DDgN
How many hours passed she was not certain but was sure that it was not morning yet. It might be the wee hours of the new morning. Alexis felt someone shaking her arms softly. Her eyes blinked before seeing a man in navy blue uniform kneeling beside her. Alarmed, the girl almost shouted but he covered her mouth and shook his head. The light from a small neon bulb brightened and revealed those dark brown eyes which gave a sudden turbulence stirred inside her stomach. Bruce whispered that there was an emergency call from her family.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjyA45CVWa
The door was opened and Bruce came inside to wake her up. It seemed he did not want to disturb the others.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxbMih72Wb
“What happened to them?”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgQCkuJX70
His brows tied a frown warning not to make more questions which surprised her. Bruce was not the same kind uncle she had met before. Alexis got up and unintentionally woke Oslo. “Ere doo yoou goo?” He asked yawning and when he saw the officer inside the cell he became fully awakened. “What?”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDjkeopRjl
“Sorry. I have an emergency call,” she whispered back while Wade’s snore echoed all around. Bruce made the exit and urged the girl to follow him.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vTdhbuper
When she got out, Bruce locked the cell again and told Oslo to continue sleeping. However, as she turned back, Alexis still saw Oslo’s eyes following.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbHqO2Uy02
“Bad news? What happened to my family?” Alexis worried. Bruce’s haste made her think of bad things occurred to them.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLGS6UgvMA
“You’ll know.” copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN5K0mWvLa
The police station at this hour was noiseless, comparing to the madness on the first day she was here. Alexis had never stepped inside the police station until being arrested. There were no other accused imprisoned for further legal processes. There were only them.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmmENbHIJH
The door ahead slightly opened so she could listen to the sound that sneaked out. The girl looked through the gap, seeing Joseph and his female partner dozing off on the table. They met these two officers more often than the others so when she saw their sleeping posture which was against their hostility, it amused her. She was not sure which rank they were but might not that big. Observing the insignia on Bruce’s shoulders, she found it was no different from the insignia on the two sleeping officers. They were the same rank.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhtq9zlp57
Bruce made the soft sound to accelerate her speed. She just walked past the police’s canteen which was looked like a small kitchen. There might be the other officers in the lobby. During the walk, her mind fused with many ideas about her family. Her anxiety mainly focused on Bianna. Last time which meant this last morning, they saw each other, the depression consumed her badly.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXV5IWrErd
Alexis noticed Bruce’s odd behavior as they must turn left to go to the visiting rooms but he still led her to the way where the end was the storage room and the fire exit.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡPozc3mnK46
It was not where he told her where the emergency call was. The phone booth was in the visiting room and the lobby.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPnVfxuBXA
Alexis paused. “Sir, that’s not the right way. Where will we go, the lobby or the visiting room?”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXxE2fAtU2
Bruce grabbed her arms, “This way, girl. I’m working here, forget it?”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKrgXvCkfH
He was right but Alexis did not feel alright. The girl politely removed his hand away, “Sir, who called? What the emergency is about?”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHwPCMm7nk
“If you speak again, I will slap the doubt out of your little head, I promise.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7hfLjvmNp
He took of the kind man’s mask. Alexis looked up. The way ahead could not convince that she would be saved. The girl nodded, pretended to be obedient and when the police turned away, she started to run.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuaQK7lnsB
“Help!” copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TiBJVo62L
Something hit her back with an instance. Might be a bat. The acid pain stopped her movement so Bruce could reach her in time. His fat hand covered her mouth. The officer dragged the girl into the storage room. She was thrown inside and when she looked up, there she saw a girl tied with chains. Her body stood against the wall. The blindfold covered her eyes and the tape covered her mouth. Her black hair loosed out of the braids. She got bruised and blood all over her body. What horrified Alexis more than anything was the blood on her skirt. Her tears poured down like a rapid stream. Besides Sonya, a policeman stood guarding the victim. The top uniform loosed out of his pants. He took off his belt, smoking cigarette.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJTHZE1u1O
Behind Alexis’s back, the gun pointed at her waist. The sweat instantly poured out of her body and her feet turned cold.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqj4g3cCrE
“She yelled. I’m not sure if Joseph and Helga heard or not. Silas is in the lobby. And Roger is on his duty in the town.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwyv7hrvot
“Go check if they heard r or not,” the one who was standing inside the room gave the commanded. He was not either tall or short but bigger than Bruce. She rarely saw him. The name tag on his shirt declared he was named “Cameron.” Alexis heard Bruce opened the door. The girl tried to calm herself. Here was where Sonya Romuller was chained and tortured…and raped. Alexis would be the next. These two tricked her for the cruel intention.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOdawcPxGQ
“Sonya!” Alexis called the girl. Her body shook a little. The girl was aware of a friend’s existence. Cameron fanned his head. “No talk, little bitch.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAgEFxIR99
“Why you take me here?” It was the stupid question. Alexis already knew but she did not know what to say properly. Sonya can blind them…but how? She did not know how to help the girl and herself. There were two policemen with two bats and two guns.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmF4SNmjjK
Bruce returned. “They’re still sleeping.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBz0M5dBCU
“Let’s be quick. I’m bored with this one.” Cameron pointed to Sonya. “You turn.” copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYuIDafl1p
Her eyes wandered around. Cameron left his bat and the walkie-talkie on the table, except for the gun which he was holding it. Then he said something that came up to his mind.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxLbCEZYXi
“Bruce…I thought there are two.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLUiLGoZi0
“The other one’s sleeping like a corpse. I can’t wake her up. But this one is the prettiest.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKZosCyIYz
“I see. Come closer, pretty girl.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u7TFJxEHv
Alexis did not move but begged instead. “Please, let me go. I won’t tell anyone. I swear!” Think, Alex! You must find the way out!copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrgSJ1y81Q
“Rope or tape?” Bruce offered his colleague. They talked like they did it often.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UA7i3KQMI
“No. I’ll love kissing her. Just use the gun. We don’t have much time.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTcxMSgkxY
They communicated with each other, ignoring her pleading. “Please, don’t do this. Please.” She pleaded with the two men. “You’re the police. Please, don’t do this.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvp5n97Wh8
Bruce aimed the gun at her while the other one was taking off his pants.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq2nxlricd
“Don’t’ make more sounds, pretty. Take off your shirt. Don’t act like you don’t know what I mean. A girl like you is no virgin. Come on. Show me how good you are.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C7d9T5qdD
“Hey, I’m first. Your turn is the black head,” Cameron reminded his buddy. Now he was standing with only a boxer. Bruce groaned. Alexis tried to speed up her brain. Her eyes glanced at Sonya. She could blind them…but she is being blinded. Bruce came closer to Sonya and massaged her tight. The girl in chains shook violently protesting.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡo38N8vWfse
“No, please! Don’t touch her,” Alexis cried. Think, Alex. There must be the way out. “I’ll do anything to please you two. But please, don’t beat me and her.” The girl did not know how to fix the situation so she bought some time with the stream of words while the brain worked fully loaded. copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfEqCcM4uY
Cameron smirked. “Bruce, this one tries negotiating. Is that a deal, pretty girl?”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvApIKjOaw
Alexis refused. “No, sir. I mean to serve. I-I know what you want…I know how to please you. Please, don’t beat me. I love my face. I love my body. I love them to be pretty. And I’m sure you want me to be pretty. You can call me anytime you want. Just don’t beat me and her.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡryAAlI6iYy
“If we didn’t chain her, she’ll kill us. Don’t worry. She totally bored me,” Cameron eyed at her with eager interest. “Prove your words. See? I’m bare hands.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmNbMqnyuS
“She wants us to fuck her…together” Bruce left Sonya alone. His face could not hide the thrill but Cameron did not buy this idea.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMn7b5RuU1
“No, I don’t like that.” So he approached and pulled Alexis’s hair, keeping the new fresh victim with himself. The girl struggled on the ground, moaning in pain, yet he still pulled her hair roughly. Cameron’s eyes revealed all the dirty thoughts inside that ugly head. His sweat slightly dropped on the floor, excited to abuse another weaker. When he saw she was unmoved, he said, “You said you know how to please men. Prove it. But you must prove it to me first until I’m satisfied then you can prove yourself to him.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mzBWVj2eh
Her eyes fixed on the walkie-talkie behind him. Her face rose up, “Sit sir. I assure my words.” Cameron smiled and sat. Alexis slowly moved her hand to his leg and his abs. She exercised all her tolerance to endure this disgusting creature. “Smile.” She obeyed and smiled without the heart in it.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡALDoXqOkZi
“Little whore.” copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw5zDgFvLA
As she saw Bruce turned back to Sonya and Cameron lowered his head to kiss her, she let him kissed her hair, touching her face as he wanted. Seeing the opportunity, the girl bumped her head to his head, grabbed the walkie-talkie while he got dizzy, and slammed the device on Cameron's head without saving her force.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMW6oT2IVg
He howled with cursing.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w2EVZ4Jk4
Alexis smashed his head again and he fell on the chair. Meanwhile, Bruce turned and aimed the gun at her. Alexis abruptly stopped her move but Bruce did not shoot. The girl understood immediately that he dared not make any sound. Therefore, Alexis already turned on the device and shouted, “HELP, STORAGE ROOM, HELP!”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wA76eoMK9
“Bitch!”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhWjokcq38
Alexis tossed the device to Bruce. He drew back letting the gun down. Being the crème student was not about luck; with the chair that once had supported Cameron’s nasty ass, she used all her strength hitting the ugly monster who was moaning on the floor several times and hit the other man who came to stop her. It was fast. Only a second she saw the chance to flee. Every second meant her life and Alexis made a great effort not to lose any second; she raced to the door still shouting out for help. Her hand grabbed the doorknob, turned around…screamedcopyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3EJHzJLj3
It was too late. Both were not ordinary men but a villain in disguise of good police. The strong hands seized her small ankle and dragged her to him. It was Cameron. Alexis lost her balance and fell to the ground again. This time, the chin got hurt and she tasted the blood inside her mouth. Cameron was frustrated, very. Every beat of his bat was heavy and totally hurt to the bone. Alexis used her arms to defend the hit without thinking of surrender. She smelt his sweat and at last, he was on her body with his hands going under her bra. The girl could not scream anymore when he covered her mouth. Cameron spent a few time to cease his action just to listen for any strange sound before continuing the abuse.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlArtGGStq
“Cameron, I think they heard.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QIY96jlwm
“Shut up, coward. Go out and check them. I have to teach this little slut.” copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡteq8Y7IHT2
You guys must hear something! She hoped that some cops heard and noticed the ugly crime was occurring inside the legal office. It was just a desperate hope.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJnlbR2RJv
Or they let this thing happened?copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLl0Kv64RD
Her heart nearly burst when he whispered dirty words. She could not listen to those horrible things he planned to do to her. The girl thought of her family and cried with tears pouring on the monster’s hand. When he started messing her jeans, thankfully, it was the skinny jeans which forbade him to undress the owner too easily. “Don’t’ wear skinny jeans, it’s unhealthy!” One column in the newspaper had warned the girls. But it can protect you from being raped. If she could survive this, Alexis swore to be loyal to Lexy brand for all her life.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlSRtQYcyS
Her injured arms forcefully resisted his. Cameron continued beating and slapping.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡejBCEMtGEd
“She’ll be dead!” Bruce warned.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWZyWJ33OU

“Go fuck that girl!” copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡDroV1bQors
Like a slave in thousands of years ago, she was. The authority did not only destroy her life but also the power users degraded how Alexis was…a human being. How many victims had been treated like a waste toy like them?copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUgnnCiz2h
“I won’t fuck the corpse,” Bruce stopped Cameron. They left Alexis breathing hard. The pain was all over her body. They were arguing.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmWQWcdfSG
“We must take her back. If they see what we’re doing, we’re doomed.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv8Sq93hyv
How the hell places on earth? Alexis tried to move away.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYp0mNDEmG
“Not quick, bitch.” He jerked her hair. “Help me take off the bloody jeans!”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX2SNZ51eX
“No! Cameron. Joseph and Helga may not hear it. But Silas and Roger may do!”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡHItPBTZFbx
Bang! A light of miracle glowed into the room where the beast Cameron flew to the wall by a fly-kick. Everything stopped dead.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVwAVSnzwK
Bruce drew back.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsHilvhqwv
“What the fuck are you doing?”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡneeQ4PK3vW
Alexis heard Joseph’s voice but she could not see him. “Help…” She cried.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFR7fNZDmw
“Man, calm down. We can talk. You can play with two girls!” It was Cameron who tried to negotiate with Joseph.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCY6UjBcK7
“What—are—you—fucking—doing!” It was not the question. Alexis gradually sat with her back leaning on the table’s leg.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7mWYqMJth
“If you don’t understand, don’t mad at me.” Cameron reached the gun. Too slow, Joseph fired a shot at his arm. The naked man collapsed on the ground, howling like an injured dog. Bruce, the coward, surrendered, raising both of his hands in the air. “This bastard forced me!” But Joseph did not buy it. The gunshot resounded again and Bruce fell on Cameron. The rescuer hit his colleagues several times until the blood of Bruce and Cameron spilled all over him. The icy blue in those eyes, at that right moment, melt into the ocean fire.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5WwccjcQG
“You—have—to—pro—tect—them—not—des—troy—them! How—can—you—do—this—to—them!”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡIejHke1WqL
The beating stopped, he abandoned the nearly dead Bruce and Cameron and turned to the young victim with his face painted by the splash of red blood. Alexis was watching the hitting scene all the time. Still frightened, the girl crept under the table, violently trembling in fear, fearing him too.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48Tq5RQRBk
“What happened?” His buddy ran inside and covered her mouth when she saw Bruce and Cameron lied in the pool of their own blood.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gp6MCi6O9
“Helga, they tried to…” His eyes avoided the girl. “You see.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxn7eIlfFL
“Damn! What’s on their mind?” Helga cursed and offered her hand to Alexis who hid under the table. Seeing her kind gesture, Alexis got out of the temporary shelter. Helga wrapped her arms around the girl in a protective manner. “It’s alright. It’s alright.” The first gentleness she showed to the prisoner. Alexis slightly glanced at the rescuer but he avoided her eyes all the time, the way he often did to all of them. At that moment, she realized why he had never looked into their eyes, why Joseph pretended to have the face of a dead man.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JUU90M0Sn
To protect not to destroy.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1DJ7qmqxa
“I’ll unchain you but promise me not to do anything harmful to us. I’ll send you to the hospital. Your family will be with your side. Okay?” He made the deal with Sonya.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkHXrWGNbl
“Seph, she’s dangerous,” Helga objected.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd5u7fuTfm
“They hurt her. You know what I mean. I shouldn’t let them guard the girl…if I knew they’re evil monsters.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡgznUjukGVR
Alexis saw him mildly unchained the girl. Sonya fell into his arms. She could not stand. When Joseph unfolded her eyes and mouth, Sonya looked around as if she was searching for something until she saw Alexis with Helga.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡQucysEu8rG
“Are you alright?” Her voice was very low like whispering.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1Tzv1OZU3
Alexis nodded, silently weeping.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbDJ5XeqD9
“I heard…you tried…to save me…”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuEu268xeA
“Don’t talk, girl. I will send you to the doctor. Don’t be afraid. They can’t harm you anymore.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIB8i79664
The girl laughed crying in her throat then she looked at the light bulbs. copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sgNblLpLo
“Seph, No!” Helga pressed Alexis’s head on her chest and everything turned silent. The heat licked up her arms. She heard the scream of pain. It took a few minutes that the policewoman allowed her to see what happened. Two bulbs were broken. Helga’s both arms were red as if she got sunburnt. When Alexis looked at Joseph, one side of his cheeks was red too. And Sonya in his red arms lied dead with her face burning. No one got serious wounds or hurt, except Joseph who might get the intermediate injury. Alexis did not know how Sonya did it but she perceived her power.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3TdxVjGty
“Oh God. Seph? Are you alright?”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIhTRz00G6
He shook his head. “She killed herself.” They looked at each other. Both were speechless. “You reported our boss. I’ll call Silas and Roger to help me with these two. You take the girl back to the cell.” copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QzlDKHoat
“She’s injured.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJwGX4ChL6

“What?”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2iPJgUlxG
“They're worried enough.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnJgvGWcDD
Helga shook her head. “They’ll know anyway. Come with me, Ms. Davis.” copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIpNlyEJnT
Alexis was so tired even to cry. The tears still slowly poured down on her cheeks. Sonya…killed herself. It was the rage inside her heart. Many “why?” questions battled in her mind. In the deeper sense, the girl understood why Sonya had made this final decision. The way they did to the dead girl while she had been chained, unable to resist, was terrible, she knew what they did to her. Alexis felt like she wanted to vomit.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGWBwFSr1p
Helga took her to the infirmary room. There were a lot of bruised from the hit and small fresh wounds on her arms. The policewoman thought about sending her to the hospital and decided not to do so. Alexis regarded herself in the mirror. The girl inside was not Alexis anymore. She was a broken girl, physically and mentally.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tNRJixGvb
“God! What’s going on?” Oslo asked at once as he saw her came back. Wade and Belinda woke up and they gasped.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5TJSfhwZF
“Why you tortured her?” Her athletic friend showed his fits to Helga. “Why you have to do this?”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhmnTS3Lj4
“Not her,” Alexis corrected.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡbryYihhQYM
Helga was tired of Wade’s condemnation so she walked away as Alexis stayed inside the cell. Wade embraced her carefully as if she was porcelain. “Are you alright? Why didn’t they send you to the hospital?”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hSW1Kbjha
“Just bruises. She said if I don’t feel alright, tell her.” Alexis showed her arms, “You’re not alone, Wade.”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIsk5ld86x
“Is him?” Oslo tied his brows. “Bruce?”copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiYLgh3y71
Alexis nodded. “Sonya is dead. They chained her in the storage room with a guard and Bruce and they…” Alexis stopped. She did not want to talk about it.copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9jc5lXhEf
